Personally I wouldn't mind seeing Dave Beasant back in the side. Fraser's kicking is almost as bad as his anyway!
The Europa was more unique than a League Cup game. I'm not suggesting that we don't play our best team in the League Cup, but I question the value of resting fit healthy players for the FA Cup as if it will magically make them so much better v Liverpool. Should go for a win every game. As for last season, I meant that we looked like we had a chance in every game against anyone....don't think anyone has that feeling this season.
Sorry but that's a joke right?? The man has been here since the summer and you're trying to tell me he still doesn't know what his strongest starting 11? Holy ****!!!
Not a joke. It was actually a criticism of Puel. Something which I rarely do as I think he has done quite well for us, all things considered.
Unique? Crikey, I must have missed all those semi finals we've been in 2nd of my lifetime by my counting! And no there's no guarantees but at the same time that doesn't mean a team of fringe/youth would lose. Like I mentioned earlier I can see that sort of team playing with more freedom and with our struggles at the moment may even see a chance to nab a first team spot? It won't magically make them better but I don't think it's too out there to suggest that freshness could be key against a Liverpool side who will dominate possession and press us all over the pitch. As for the last bit, fair enough, I completely misunderstood you, and for what it's worth I agree
Ask 100 saints and I bet 8/10 would pick the same team but yet a manager being paid god knows how much still doesn't know that after 6 months? Alarm bells are ringing!!
Well it was just me suggesting he may not know the best 11, he hasn't actually confirmed this. For all we know he could well have a clear idea of his strongest 11 but has been unable to play them regularly due to a cup run and the europa league.
Norwich City FC (First Team) v Southampton FC (First Team) FA Cup Referee: Christopher Kavanagh, Assistant Referee: Nick Greenhalgh, Assistant Referee: Matt Foley, Fourth Official: Dean Whitestone,
Play virtually an entire reserve/youth team for this one. Wednesday is far more important. Lewis Martina Yoshida Stephens McQueen Clasie Reed JWP Sims Long Redmond
Jrod in for Long. Maybe Pierre on for Jwp? Pool struggle from set pieces so wouldn't mind Ward Prowse starting that game.
"Ask 100 Saints ... 8/10 " .... did the other 90 not give you the answer you wanted? PS. This is MLsfc' opinion. He doesn't actually know that Puel doesn't know his best 11.
You know what I meant , worry about people on here sometimes have far to much time on there hands picking up on silly mistakes , and then give sarky comments, pisses me off !
2016 me that would have been warranted. 2017 me, just ignoring him. If he reacts like that to a joke from FLT then there's really no point replying to him anymore.
