And on the bench ? Something like this.... Cropper, Fox, Chambers, Lambert, Ramirez, JWP ( if fit ), Yoshi. ( Is Jos injured ? )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOGJegd3dmQ High tide with a backing wind - a bit wet at work today.

It may be 3 defeats in a row, but TBH only the Villa result is unfortunate. How many other teams playing away in successive matches at The Emirates and Stamford Bridge would have gained even 1 point ?

Strengths - (1) he's 21 and developing, he was probably the youngest keeper playing in the Prem this weekend. (2) he's a Southampton player, and the current and previous managers, ( the latter was a GK himself ), and coaching staff obviously see potential. Weakness - (1) he's 21, and GK's don't generally develop until at least 26. (2) He doesn't command the area as well as more experienced keepers - lack of physical presence or confidence ? ( Plus last night the defence let him down ).

Sometimes it seems that there are a group on here who will only be satisfied if we get relegated because they they can all start chanting "we told you so".

I don't think he has ever been a serious part of Woy's planning.

Could part of that, especially tonight, be that with our 'high pressing game' teams are playing deeper and more compact defences ? Maybe we need to drop back a bit occasionally to open them up.

not 17th ?

"......this is purely down to squad depth and gaps in the transfer policy that the majority of posters on here have identified for months.." Strange that the managerial staff have failed to do so. What are we paying them for ?

Why ? Gazza had no real chance with any of the goals.

Fonte should have gone to CB when he came on.

If we still have 4 at the back, why hasn't Yoshi switched to RB and Fonte gone alonside Lovren ?

Where has that 'best defence in the division' gone ?

And your professional football management experience was with who ?

Would the UK be building the new nuclear stations if the Chinese Government wasn't investing ?

Well, we wouldn't be building them without it.

The only way we could finance the next gen nuclear stations was with Chinese, ( aren't they SOCIALIST ? ), money.

Currently Denmark, and the French seem happy with theirs. Historically the post-war UK Government.

It depends on whether your definition of 'socialist' is limited, as some on here with narrow opinions seem to hold true, to Marxism/Leninism. Alternatively, Obama is seen as 'socialist' in the USofA.

"...censorship, banning free press, banning counter-revolutionary political parties..." What a load of b0ll0x. These are not the features of a socialist government, they are the features of an extremist government - of either political wing. As has been previously posted, Social Democracy is a common form of government in Europe, and is proven to work. How many of these alleged 'features' do those Governments exhibit ? As for the voluntary or compulsory taxation argument, I object to my taxes funding nuclear weapons, and foreign wars that benefit the American economy, but don't get a choice. Unfortunately there is one maxim that holds true in all cases - "All power corrupts".

No matter how rich or poor we are in life, at the end we all become equal.

What, if anything, is up with KD ? If he's out as well, who will be the #2 keeper ? EDIT: Just realised it would be Cropper.

I've shied away from criticising him too much up to now, but he's had enough chances now -he looks lost and doesn't seem to be a team player.
