Let's Compare this lot to 2005


Lighthouse

Recommended Posts

Just for sh*ts and giggles.

 

Stephens - Cranie - That academy defender, who sort of looked alright for a brief period last year but clearly isn't a 1st choice PL player

Austin - Pahars - If only he'd stayed fit, we might not be in this mess.

Cedric - Kenton - He's got good pace but I'm not sure what else he does.

Carrillo - Bernard - Why in the name of f**king f**k did we sign him?!

Tadic - Lundekvam - He's been good for a few seasons, so why has he absolutely bottled it now.

Hoedt - Davenport - We quite obviously needed an experienced CB, instead we got this guy.

Lemina - Squashie - Is he a battling midfield dynamo or a headless chicken? Not sure.

Alfie Jones - Matt Mills (Academy player who will probably leave right when he should be nearest to the 1st team)

it's even more painful looking at it like that.

 

With the exception of Austin/Pahars which is like comparing engine oil with fine wine, I would take today's players in every instance. They simply are not performing.

 

They need to stop believing their own hype (and probably their agents' hype) and put in a bloody shift. Work hard in training, work hard during the game, try and notch some points.

 

They really need to understand that there wont be a big queue forming to sign them up if we go down....this may be their only chance to earn £x0,000.00 per week.

Absolutely!

 

I despised that 2005 team, but I am starting to hate this current lot MORE because they clearly have some talent but just don't apply it.

2005 relegated on the last day of the season at SMS after taking the lead against Man Utd.

At least we don't have any Jobs for the Boys players, like Redknapp Junior in the midfield putting in a 20 minute shift before his knees tired, but staying on for at least another 50 minutes

 

Ar least in 2005 we had genuine match winners like Kamara and Crouch. We don't have anyone like that.

Disagree. Boufal, Austin and even Tadic are match winners on their day... they’re just not consistent enough (Boufal doesn’t play enough imo).

None of those three were as consistent as Camara in his short stint with us.

That 2005 squad was much better than our current squad though: Niemi, Le Saux, Lundekvam, Svensson, Phillips, Crouch, Pahars and even Beattie until January, when we sold him to Everton, with just a fcouple of weak links in defence whereas our current squad is full of weak links in both defence and attack.

It really would be the low point of the season if they beat us. Still, for them it'll be like winning the Champions League.

 

Forget going into the lions den of Fratton Park, the class of 2018 will probably freeze and shît its pants at home to little Bournemouth.

Dream on, that’d require our current shower of lazy ****s to actually score a goal...

There are no comparisons for me.

 

The 2005 squad lacked the ability and confidence to see out a victory and conceded late goals, after spirited displays and taking the lead in big games.

 

This lot couldn't give a monkeys.

The squad in 2005 might have stayed up but for some terribly bad luck with injuries that at one time cost us all our forwards and then later all our keepers. Austin aside, this time round we have been very lucky with injuries - although you could say unlucky in that Tadic has remained fit.

This lot can't take the lead to even consider seeing out a victory!!

I totally agree with this - we actually got some decent results in 2005 (Liverpool home for example). We also got ourselves into positions to win a number of other games (Boro at home, Villa at home, Arsenal away, Everton at home).

 

This time around we’ve got a more talented squad (arguably) but we haven’t seen any displays that are a patch on some of those that we turned in during 2005. Had we not conceded one of the late goals in the games I’ve described then we would have stayed up, we will be much further away than that this time around.

Sums it up for me. Camara, Crouch - we could score goals. Phillips was affected seemingly in the last quarter of the season by off the field issues but we also had Ormerod who would add energy, although would have picked Phillips for the MU game after Crouch was stupidly sent off at CP.

 

Quashie tried and we still had some players, albeit fading, from the 2003 side that we respected - Dodd, Telfer etc. Claus was past it well and truly and we now know in a pickle off the field but had a lot of good memories off the field and got a couple more seasons out of him.

 

The wage bill wouldn't have been anywhere near 8th in the league that season - not like now. Disgusting that the likes of Forster were rewarded for a failed 2016/17 with a bumper new 5 year deal. Well done Les.

 

Moreover, this squad just isn't likeable at all. Charlie and Steven Davis, the latter for his great service, I admire, Josh Sims for his promise and style of play and McCarthy for his improvement. Targett and McQueen are local lads and fans. Long has had an awful year but effort there at least.

 

As you can tell, I'm scraping the barrell badly. The rest I plain don't like. Lemina has had the odd good game but too many shockers, JWP hasn't kicked on and far too lightweight. Cedric and Bertrand's attitude stinks, Hoedt is on a par with Davenport and Jakobsson, but worse because he is £17m. Has to be in any SFC worst XI for me. Wouldn't pick him for Exeter City, honestly, not even Torquay would want him. Stephens will do OK in the Champ but with a big pay cut, never a PL player. Redmond is misery personified on a pitch. Gabbiadini started so well but weak mentality, Carrillo not worth £1.9m or even pence, what does has Reed have to do to get sacked? The South American Jon Parkin.

 

Undecided on Romeu, liked him but astonishing decline since last season and has to be something catastrophically wrong behind the scenes.

 

I really cannot connect with this squad or hierachy at all whereas I was attending games home and away backing to ther 2005 side to the bitter end and all through what followed when I still lived nearby. When they are all gone and that includes Reed/Wilson/Gao/Liebherr as well as the players, I may well feel differently and re-connect.

Why is the list "both come and gone" since relegation at the end (no current players) but only "gone" since relegation at the start of this list? Players with us pre-relegation should not be included. Otherwise it's just a "gone" list.

Please let's not! Newcastle and west ham were depressing enough with out adding anything extra.

 

I have little doubt that our 2005 team would beat our current lot.

We were much better going forward that year, crouch and Phillips were both much more clinical in front of goal than the current lot

In 2003 we finished 8th and got to the final of the FA Cup. Midway through the 2003-2004 our manager (Strachan) left and we replaced him with a lesser candidate (Sturrock), whilst we were in a good position and could attract a good manager. The players decided they didnt like the new manager, the board sacked him and we ended having a chaotic season with manager changes ending in relegation.

 

In 2016 we finished 6th and qualified for the Europa League. Our manager (Koeman) left and we replaced him with a lesser candidate (Puel), whilst we were in a good position and could attract a good manager. The players decided at the end of the season they didnt like the new manager, the board sacked him and we ended having a poor season with a poor manager ending in ??????.

Similar traits in the player interviews too. Sleepwalking into relegation without realising it.

The respective summer's will be the same too.

 

Good players will leave and people will say variations of "Good" & "Good Riddance" etc. When the truth is losing talented players is ever really a good thing.

 

It's why having a manager who can navigate that league is so important.

205-7 is the real heartbreaker and where the wheels started to come off.

If you are a fan of omens, the 3-2 home win against West Ham this season is almost identical to the way we beat Blackburn 3-2 at home in 04/05. The warning signs were there!:)

 

And smashed us 3-0 at their place late in the season.

I was just thinking the same thing this morning. That match had some dodgy referee decisions in it too...

Our first game back in the PL was against Man City, so it's kind of fitting that they should relegate us.

 

And talking of comparisons of 2005, I'm really not looking forward to the 4-1 defeat against Bournemouth...

 

your hopeful ,well be relegated before they play here. And if we manage to get to play this fixture with this much at stake do you think were capable of doing so?

Completely agree, loss of Wanyama, Pele and Mane was the turning point. Strange thing is that none of them were highly rated by the fans while they were here. Wanyama was regarded as a big sulk and Mane was rubbished and invited to return to Africa
