I can honestly say I've never agreed with one single post you have ever written Yappy. That doesn't mean you are wrong or right in your opinions/observations. The problem doesn't lay with Caulker but with the whole set up. If we were to release Hill, Dunne, and some unnamed others, they wouldn't even attract mid table championship teams never mind premiership standard. We have the players capable of surviving but first and foremost they have to be selected. I would start every match home and away with the following and only change it for injuries or suspensions. Would try to get some stability, confidence and rhythm in our play.

Grow up, Dumbo! The sooner you do, you might find yourself a professional one day and realize what an idiot you'd been your whole wasted youth, because one day somebody will find out what you wrote on here and call you out for being an uneducated, useless lout, and you will regret everything you've ever said or done. And it'll be all pear shaped for you, son :emoticon-0136-giggl

You sum yourself up perfectly <applause>
 
I blame Caulker completely for the goal (with a little help from Ned) & for the booking that Barton received, but I would definitely retain him in the side.

I would never drop a player because of one or two individual mistakes. Even Messi & Ronaldo make that amout every match.

Unless Donaldson or Sendles-White are ready to play we are down to three centre halves & only three possibilities to play at full back. As one of those players covers both positions that is a choice from five defenders. I also don't think that we have anyone good enough to play as the natural wide players in a 4-4-2 system.

I know I will be in the vast minority, but I'm convinced that we need to revert to three at the back with wing backs. If at times that means it is a back five so be it.

Providing on fitness (Yun that is) the side I feel would be best for us on Tuesday is:-

Green
Ned, Caulker, Hill
Isla, (two form Henry, Barton & Fer), Yun
Taarabt
Vargas, Zarate

It ain't gonna happen though!

I agree that we should revert to 3-5-2 and was saying so before yesterday's game.

What was Caulker doing? Knock the ****ing ball into the corner, keep your shape and see out the game for a hard fought point against the team in 4th place. We are in no position to go all gung ho at that stage of a game against a top 4 side FFS!!

It's a repeat of the Liverpool Game. Should have seen it out for the draw. Guess we forgot that lessen yesterday.
 
My 11 year old, who plays centre back for his school, said 'I hope they are not going to score now' as soon as Caulker was caught out of position. We should have learned from Liverpool indeed. It would have been different if we were actually losing the game. Bad choice not to the cautious at the back.
 
I thought the defence was ok yesterday Caulker was a lot stronger

Really easy to point the finger

Agree with Col of course we should of settled for a very good point which we errant against a really good side
Ward Prowse was superb and saints pinged it around without any flapping
They pulled us around most of the game and their defence was the best I have seen this year easily

Caulker and Dunne kept Pelle very quiet and of course we should of held on but we didn't that's is of course frustrating

Second half we pulled them about
The best defence in the league
No real product but we matched a team who par Chelsea and today Spurs can beat anyone in this league

They are so well balanced and solid
So if you eliminate their goal threat then you have a chance Caulker did that for 90 mins he is certainly good enough

We got punished for a split second
That's the difference

Caulker etc will handle Defoe Tuesday I hope he does that job then we have a chance to Nick something

You do state the bleeding obvious like the monkey youse are, eh? That's what opinion is, so why the need to explain it?

Well Yun's still out injured, and now Charlie may have broken his right foot, and Sandro is still out, so what will you with the squad then, eh? Nevermind WANTING to start with a particular line-up, now you may HAVE to play the players you don't quite rate? Well that makes you a brilliant man-manager then, dunnit? You blame the whole set-up? Why don't you shut your pie hole and go back into the cave. Yes, and your opinion also counts for nought. <doh> Never said my observations need to be right or wrong. They're just observations. Some agree, others don't. :emoticon-0102-bigsm Politics!

Exactly. He obviously hadn't listened to Harry when he told the whole team to do that at that point in the game when a point is in our hands.
