SaintSteve Posted 15 February, 2014 Share Posted 15 February, 2014 It appears some rather knowledgable neutrals are also bedwetters: "Southampton out! No game midweek , great position in the league, why oh why would pochettino not play his strongest team .. Ridiculous! - Robbie Savage. "Totally agree. Disrespectful of the competition, Saints supporters, especially those that travelled, and the game." - Gary Lineker Yes.. and they chose the cushy armchair pundit jobs.. not Manager jobs... what they think means not a lot to MP no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Sir Robin Posted 15 February, 2014 Share Posted 15 February, 2014 My main concern going in to this match, knowing the way Sunderland play, was injuries to key players, so I was relieved to see Boruc being rested but a bit concerned that we were risking Lallana and Shaw. Still, we came through it unscathed so no harm done. Persnally, I completely agree with Poch that we really don't want to find ourselves in the Europa cup next season, so it's all about the league and finishing 7th-9th for me.

Rebel Posted 15 February, 2014 Share Posted 15 February, 2014 To be honest I was expecting us to lose this game. I was hoping we'd give it a real go - but suspected we wouldn't - and surprise surprise we didn't. I was going to watch the game but when I saw the line up I thought I'm not gong to bother - the club's not going to so why should I - went shopping instead. As for the result It simply told us what we already know - we have no strength in depth - outside of one or two positions - ok maybe 3 - we don't have any players we can bring in to the first 11 that will keep the standard high enough. As it is we are missing a centre forward, a left back and a right winger from the first team. We just don't have any strength on the bench outside of right back. The Sunderland starting 11 even with 9 changes was simply better than the second string team we can put out. We may just about have the better first 11 but they have a stronger squad. It's either our first 11 or nothing for us I'm afraid. Instead of paying £15 million for a prima doña from Italy and £12 million for someone from the Scottish Premier League we need to be buying players fro between £6-8 million that will give us some strength in depth. Maybe we're happy to wait for the kids to develop but if so we are going to be treading water for a while - and still vulnerable to a minor injury crisis wrecking our season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintSteve Posted 15 February, 2014 Share Posted 15 February, 2014 It's not about bragging it's about the overall success of a season. Your league standing shows consistency across the full ten months of the season against some of the best teams in Europe. Finishing above the most successful side in Premier league history across the course of a season would be a great measure of our success (considering our position a few years back) and a great indicator of the potential of the club to future signings. Sure a day out at Wembley would be fun but a win today would have in no way guaranteed that. We've had lots of great days this season winning at Anfield, drawing at United and outplaying City and Arsenal at St Marys. Our season isn't a total write off, we still have the potential to get revenge for last season at City and results against Liverpool and United at home. This could potentially be the most successful Premier League season in our history and I would happily take that as a successful end to the 13/14 season. I'm sorry, you are not allowed to put forth such a reasonable post.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurico POCHETTINO!!!!!!!!!!!! Crystal clear he'll be off in May or he'd be ensuring we were up there for next season and chance in Europe. Bet he can't wait to be off for a break next round of the Cup. You couldn't be more wrong. The approach to the game today is a strong indication that he'll stay. He hates the Europa league and winning the cup would have put us in it and he doesn't want that: he wants to qualify next season for the Champions League. If he were leaving, he'd have gone for a bit if glory for himself in the cup and not cared about the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tack on Mannone and Johnston and it would do better than they usually do. they still had O'Shea in CD, 2 Italian internationals,Gardener, Larsson and a few decent subs. Sunderland's squad is in fact far better than their league position would suggest but then I guess they have DiCanio to thank for that. They've now won 7 out of their last 10,beaten Utd,Newcastle and crushed Fulham. They beat Chelsea in the C1C quarters, in fact they're probably not a bad side at all Hull beat them because they were down to 10 men after 4 minutes, do you think we'd have beaten Hull on Tuesday if José or Maya had been sent off after only 4 minutes ?

It's never pleasant to be caught in the machinery when a favourite comes unstitched, and in the case of this particular game, one had come to look on the playing of the match as a pure formality, a sort of quaint, old-world ceremony to be gone through before one sauntered up to Wembley to collect our trophy. Unseen in the background, Fate was quietly slipping lead into the boxing-glove. Saints fans experienced the sort of abysmal soul-sadness which afflicts one of Tolstoy's Russian peasants when, after putting in a heavy day's work strangling his father, beating his wife, and dropping the baby into the city's reservoir, he turns to the cupboards, only to find the vodka bottle empty.

In the LC it wasn't but this team was MUCH stronger (Shaw, Wanyama, Lambert, Lallana [starting]). Sunds team was MUCH weaker: (their version of Gazz in goal , no Alonso, no Bardsley, Brown suspended, no Ki , no Johnson, no Fletcher...) I reckon what we sent out was good enough.

I don't agree that the team selection was the reason as we put out a decent enough side to beat Sunderland, but the performance was woeful. The performance was woeful because the team selection was woeful. Our established pattern of playing out from the back went down the toilet with the selection of two central defenders who struggle with passing and a goalkeeper whose distribution is pitiful. But we might have got away with that if we hadn't also replaced the shield in front of them - and the conduit for moving the ball forward - by leaving out both Schneiderlin and Cork (IMO our best pairing at the moment), and if we hadn't replaced the highly-mobile Rodrigues with the languid, lazy, low-intensity Guly (along with his needless offsides and failure to present moving pass opportunities). And we might even have got away with that if MP had seen the writing on the wall and made the two changes at half time, when they could almost have started afresh, instead of at the 62 minute mark, when they were trying to jump onto a moving train. As others have said, those changes destroyed an established pattern of play which should have been easily good enough to see off the side that Poyet fielded.

But that's just the point, it wasn't a weakened team, it was a different team, they have far more squad depth than we do, anyone who has full internationals for major nations on their bench has a better squad than we do. Who would you rather have in reserve Giaccherini or Guly, Larsson or JWP, it's a f*cking non-starter. We do not have enough squad depth and every time we need to replace players it's the same f*cking shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ART Posted 15 February, 2014 Share Posted 15 February, 2014 Anyone writing off JWP is a complete idiot and a fool. The guy is exhausted and suffering from brain fag. Has everyone forgotten he hasn't stopped since last season. playing for England Under 21's in June, then going on the pre-season by personal wish and playing a big part in our earlier games. He's trying too hard when he should be taking a break away from the game. Thought Pochettino would have seen this and taken action. Why is Guly being included now when he's made it clear he's off in the summer. If he's so concerned for the World Cup why doesn't he get himself a loan to Canada like Julio Caesar We'd have been better throwing Hooivelt up front, than playing Guly and moving Wanyama into central defense and having Cork playing.

scally Posted 15 February, 2014 Share Posted 15 February, 2014 What annoys me about our team selection is not only is it disrespectful to the fan-base, especially the travelling fans, but also the message it sends to our players – for me, it’s as good as telling them that whilst they remain Southampton players they have no chance of winning anything. Let’s face it, we’re never going to win the Premiership, and not selecting our strongest team means we’re never going to win a cup competition. I just cannot find any justification for that team selection; I’m upset and totally bewildered. Totally agree with this why bother going to games if the club are not going to have a go in the competitions they actually have a chance of winning. A little bit more of football died for me today. One of the best Saints sides I've ever seen will be remembered for nothing in years to come. Thanks Poch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last 3 weeks, me with my sedentrary lifestyle have frequently had to shovel tons of snow a day, I had to work 12 hours a day to prepare for a week-long meeting in the US, fly there, conduct/negotiate the meeting as the most senior person from my company whilst suffering from jet-lag and the after-effects of the strong sedative I had to take to deal with my Bergkamp-magnitude fear of flying, come back under the same chemcial influence, communicate results of meeting to my company whilst catching up on more jeg-lag plus a weeks work I hadnt supervised in others, AND deal with more f**king snow, 3 sick kids and a wife suffering from acute cabin-fever. Our players are a bunch of poofy prima-donnas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 15 February, 2014 Share Posted 15 February, 2014 Today has unequivocally proven to me that we are the same little-league chicken-sh*t zero ambition outfit we've always been, only we've simply been through a few seasons of delusion, like a "virus going round" fever picked up from the other drooling toddlers at kindergarten. You must be pleased with the large number of ****ed off fans on here suggesting that as a fan base we do have ambition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
