Not entirely sure why J Rods getting so much stick, he was involved in almost everything going forward yesterday ?
-
So, was the first game of the Hampshire league yesterday and my new boots have given me the worst blister on my heel. I got another game tomorrow and coukd do with getting rid of this blister today. Anyone know any quick remedies ? Or ways to get around it ? Heard of vinegar, iodine and duct tape so far.

As much as Lambert is a constant threat I thought he was poor yesterday, even his normally so assured touch was off. I wondered if nerves started due to the new man and the imminent england announcement

Yet Another Goal From A Corner With No One On The Posts
Smirking_Saint replied to TijuanaTim's topic in The Saints
Whilst a man on the post woukd have certainly helped, leaving Gianchieri unmarked was fatal, it wasnt even like it was particularly good movement on his part either !!! -
Thought he did ok with what he was asked to do, fits the system welland works hard. Certainly played better than Lambert for me today.

The 4-2-3-1 system - IDIOTS guide (idiots, please read this)
Smirking_Saint replied to mcbendy's topic in The Saints
Now that we have a mobile striker, that can play off the ladt man we can arguably capitalise on winning the ball high up the pitch and transitioning quickly into an attacking area, the full backs overlap and provide width out wide which will put balls into the box for Lambert or osvaldo. Attacking wise we set up as so -----------GK----------- ----CB ---DM---CB---- FB-----DM---AM------FB ----AM----ST----AM----- But it obviously looks a lot prettier, and obviously it doesnt always happen that way but essentially thats the transition This is also how we press high up and attempt to stiffle the counter attack, obviously you can see why the system is susceptible to the longball and probably why Wanyama is here Posted that the other night, its basically 4231 defending and 343 attacking -
Good finish but by the rules he was off.
-
What did you think of Lambert Roge ? Out of interest ?
-
Said before, he reminds me a lot of Wilshere when he burst on the scene, energy, composure and assurity. If he carries on the way he has he will be a top top player. Im certainly excited about the way we blood our youngsters, Chambers, JWP, Shaw all look very confident and having seen Isgrove on occasion I know he has the quality to step up aswell.

Im going for a 2-0 win, I think we have too much for a newly formed sunderland this early in the season. Looking forward to seeing Osvaldo in action though

You make it too easy TBF
-
It has been has been known
-
Why did you go from being a tit, then changing your name and being ok, and the resorting to being a tit again ?
-
I wouldnt expect you to understand TBF
-
Good signing for QPR, though its all about harry making needless signings blabla bla
-
Basically this FWIW But as much as Weston has covered everything I said earlier and more you dont really need me to repeat it so I wont bother, that said, you were not AWOL as they replied to your email and so knew exactly where you were, you were 'late' or I woukd push for 'ill' as you were not in a fit state to work. That said I think the union rep will have a decent time fighting your case so you will be ok. Do yourself a favour though and ensure you get an earlier bus.

TBF to carra I expect he only played against him once, Ill go with those that watched him on a regular basis, and more importantly how he played originally for MoPo Bazzer, not saying he is rapid mate, just that he moves faster than the comparative shuffle that we currently have -

Compared to Lambert ? Al reports I have heard from him is that he leads the line and you will not find a harder working CF, he will chase the ball down all day and will run the channels. I think he is the man we needed, and excited for the season now -

The formation we use is 4-2-3-1 what I am talking is the transitional phase from defence to attack -

Compination of a couple of set pieces, a few from our attacking midfielders, Lambert and Osvaldo Now that we have a mobile striker, that can play off the ladt man we can arguably capitalise on winning the ball high up the pitch and transitioning quickly into an attacking area, the full backs overlap and provide width out wide which will put balls into the box for Lambert or osvaldo.

Essentially we play with the two holding midfielders and then a forward unit of four who tuck in and attempt to constrict and press when the opposition have the ball, this stops the counter attack but also attempts to win the ball high up the pitch (though without pace its hard to capitalise) J Rod is really the only one that drives forward in wide positions, but essentially the width comes from the full backs. Not saying that the AMs never drift wide, just essentially this isnt part of their play.
