"Been told to expect a flat midfield four with Lallana on left and Chaplow on the right, but imagine it will be quite narrow". #saintsfc
Is Ox knackered then?
didn't even stay the month then,surely we're not going to risk Forecast at any time in the near future.Strange decision,I mean Arsenal can't be short of the odd goalkeeper.
If Kelvin should get injured we'd have to park the bus;and probably the QE2 as well;
33 points is what it's about. Any combination of results that obtains that figure is OK, In fact we probably only need about 13/15 points from the 9 remaining away games so none of them is "must win" until that number becomes possible only by winning games.
We could go 4-5-1 I suppose but Barney deserves to start. Trouble is he doesn't seem to last 90 all that well and we may have to revert to a different formation from about 75 minutes onwards.
You just can't say with all those weirdo contracts that the "non-execs" insisted on to placate Burley.I very much doubt it though.
It could well be that certain players available on free transfers got enormous signing on fees which linked to their actual time with the club actually produced salaries in the region of 1.5 million £/annum.Euell,John and Idiakiez spring to mind.
I stand corrected then,anyway Dickson wasn't in the team,Neither was Adam.Players would vote for those that had a good game against them I suppose,or their friends or not for their rivals.The team seems incongruous to me,composed mainly of Norwich,Saints and Leeds players.I'd never vote for Kisnorbo ahead of Fonte,few would I guess.
Puncheon was in the team of the year,Lallana wasn't. Means absolutely nothing, just the opinions of some hack journalists after a big binge session.Ankergren was no doubt a better keeper than Davis last season but Davis was in the "team".
How do they pay their bills and salaries on gates like that.Net income must be about £60,000 every 2 weeks.30K a week for a 20 man playing squad must eat that up straight away.
Midfielders get cards, Deano has 8,Chappers 5 and Morgan 6. I have seen them get cards because they just have no other option,
it happens,if a midfielder commits a deliberate professional foul he'll get a yellow because there are no doubt defenders somewhere behind him, if a defender does it it will just as likely be a straight red.Fouls and cards are unfortunately part of the modern game. Show me a team whose midfielders don't get cards and I'll show you a bunch of losers.
