One can hope.

Yes I think I can have my opinions about things, or isn´t that allowed on a forum?

Dont know what that´s got to do with it? But if you really want to know, Reading at home in Championship. Yours? Does that help me assess the atmosphere at Goodison Park and other stadiums that has had FA Cup games the last few weeks?

From SWF match thread? What are you on about? The bottle this early?

Not only that, what about the poor atmosphere at so many stadiums for the cup games? (Not just Saints games)

One positive note, we wont hear people complaining about Borucs kicking.......oh...

Apparently our senior players were fuming and there wasa lot of fingerpointing in the dressing room after the game..... Source? All reliable SWF.

oh, do we perhaps have to switch a player...? We´re doomed, can never win if not all of the best XI is in the team.....has nothing to do about how them on the pitch perform...

*bump* #225.

Most of them in a situation when we were chasing the game and after Lambert and Lallana missed their sitters...

Well, then he would go against his employers plans and priorities. Dont know if your boss would be happy if you listen to other people than those who decide the plans for your company. (not you as in YOU but as in a situation as an employee)

Our switched lineup would´ve won if the two most regular players would have scored their sitters. Pretty much like the games we drew in the league, score on the chances produced and you probably win the game. But you are right, our first lineup outplayed Hull a FEW days earlier. That game is also the reason we had to make changes, a midweek game Sunderland didn´t have. Bottom line, the lineup should be strong enough to win the game. The players underperformed, team lost. Has happened before and will happen again. It´s always easy to be correct in retrospect, unfortunately managers dont have that luxury. Cant save and play the game again like on FM....

So a team with 2-3 switches in the lineup is clearly not strong enough to win against a Sunderland side with 9 changes according to the fans but if we only switched those 2-3 players back into the lineup we would win the cup and have o trophy to put in the cabinet...?

The clubs priorities are league first yes, it has been said all over. That doesn´t mean they dont care about other competitions. I like pizza, doesn´t mean I dont like hamburgers too...

Not 100% fit, pictures has shown why. No other backup choice at CB in the squad. A not 100% fit Fonte the best option if an injury happens during the game to Yoshida or Hooiveld that would force them off the game. Unless that kind of injury happen you dont want to risk a player that is 100% fit, but if that injury would happen you are forced to sometimes take that chance with a player in that situation due to no other options. There are 7 sub on the bench so not like he is stoping some other alternative to change the game, just that he was the only one in the squad at that position. Ok?

Is that actually THAT hard to understand?

To....to....support him?

Dont think a manager job is two days a week though

Not how I meant it, it´s admirable imo.

68 yrs old and talking about a next step in the career...

Probably a lot of people waiting in line to get their apologies...

Me neither but seen posters naming 5 just for the England squad and seemed pretty serious about it (I think). What about Hooiveld for Holland?

If so we wouldn´t be favourites since posters on here thinks we´re bringing 8-9 players to WC...

Yep strange that they know the answer is 2003 to the question "when did Saints have their highest finish in PL?". Surely a finish like that would be blurred out of all memories because of a cup final??
