Match Thread: SAINTS vs Arsenal

I hope NA plays Boruc, but I doubt he will - having a suspect and non-intimidating keeper just hands the initiative to the oposition, and gives them encouragement even when they are behind. I wish he`d have given him a run in the team, then if he wasn`t shaping up, go for another keeper in the window.

 

I think another keeper in January is a must. If we do nothing else, we have to get a prem class keeper in. Clearly Boruc is doing something wrong in training.

 

Adkins doesn't rate Boruc enough to give him a start. Must be seeing something in training that we are not privy to.

 

I suspect it's something more personal. Something along the lines of him being a twat.

 

I think we should just not bother with defending its going to be a waste of time against arsenal! We can overload there defence with our strike force I'm predicting a 13-8 win to us with Walcott injuried with cramp after breaking the off side trap for his 6th goal.

 

Have to agree, Boruc is by far the most talented of the 'keepers but he's a dreadful bastard sometimes as well.

 

Need consistency....

 

Stoke second was hardly Davis' fault.

Difficult to save behind a wall of players....

People ALWAYS have to find someone to blame and it wasn't Guly! Or Davis! Or Rodriguez!

It was a wonder striker that no one could do anything about!

 

Matthew Upson is hardly a wonder striker, but I take your point.

 

That wasnt the problem. The problem was him flapping about trying to get the ball. You either come and get it or you stay on your line. To many times he came and didnt get anywhere near it

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see Boruc come in soon, Davis is doing much to retain his place in the starting line up.

 

It's difficult. With the amount of throw ins, corners and free kicks they got he was under tons of pressure. It didn't help nearly every player on the pitch was taller than him. Would have been wiser to pick Boruc or Gazzaniga if we wanted the keeper to come and claim balls

 

Maybe we need a couple of bastards.

 

Maybe Davis will produce a Leeds last season performance against Arsenal ; I hope so.

 

Do we "rest" Shaw to keep Wenger off his case?

 

No just tell Wenger to go forth and multiply. Even better announce Luke is staying to the crowd before kick off!

 

I think the only reason we would rest Shaw is if he needs a rest, easy to forget he is only 17. Wenger will be interested in him whether he plays against them or not as he is a Southampton youth product.

 

I hope he plays and keeps AO-C quiet enough to give us a chance.

Could be a great time to score his first goal for us as well.

 

I'd like to think that both Walcott and Chamberlain will be given good receptions.

 

They certainly should StB. Especially if they don't score!
