The problem we’ve had with players from abroad recently is that we’ve gone from signing players who were the best in their leagues in their positions (Tadic, Pelle, Mane) to players who are pretty average, or not even first choice (Hoedt, Carrillo). There are a few exceptions but we seem to have started trying to be too clever with it all.

This.

Agree with all of that.

Load of sh*t. Talks more about China than the team and keeps reiterating this ‘small club’ thing. Plus we will only be spending money from player sales.

Stood up to be counted when we needed him most. Definitely need to hang on to him.

Probably the worst manager I've ever seen at Saints. Wotte and Portvliet were terrible but with a terrible team. MP had decent enough players at his disposal but just had no idea.

Austin, Gabbi and Carrillo out. Long to stay to play as part of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1 (I.e not up front on his own) and a Pelle/Lambert style player to be a focal point.

Have you tried the ticket exchange?

Notice he doesn’t dispute the part about the players hating Hughes!

Yeah Fulham away is decent!

Losing too many headers and not picking the second ball up. Outnumbered in CM.

I’m assuming Lemina is going to be out, so it’ll probably be a choice of Redmond straight in or JWP starts with Redmond off the bench.

I can second that! Went to a few Sydney FC games and the standard is so bad. Don’t think the locals realise it either.

Going to this with a few mates, hopefully there’ll be a good turn out!

We have to start fast and get their crowd nervous. No doubt they'll be thinking the same thing so it could be a frantic start to the game. I think I'd play the same team as Saturday and just bring in Stephens for Yoshi. Admittedly that defence looks poor but at least it gives us an extra man than a 2 man partnership. FWIW, bookies have us as favourites.

Didn’t Stern John get sent off shortly after scoring his second?

Huddersfield play on the Sunday.

Really don’t understand why you’d go to a game and spend the whole time recording yourself/talking to a camera.

His attitude to playing for us was summed up by the amount of time it took him to get back on the pitch when he ran off at the Saints end yesterday.

There are dozens of pubs in London that open before 11 on a normal Sunday, let alone one with a semi final and the London Marathon.

Think Davis takes them for NI?

No point having Austin up top on his own as he’s not mobile enough. I’d go 5-3-2: McCarthy Cedric, Bednarek, Yoshida, Hoedt (gulp), Bertrand JWP, Romeu, Hojbjerg, Austin, Long

That team would see us relegated again.

Oh Shane
