Youâre only supposed to eat half a tablet. When will you learn?
Has Hoedt been bought as a striker?! Some boss finishing from him.
Oh, and VVD was smiling/laughing⌠amazing what happens when the transfer window closes and the chickens come home to roost.
1-0 saints⌠Gabbi to score in second half.
This makes it a straight fight between your bones and Bearsyâs balls. Itâs a close call, but your bones have been pretty accurate in the past and I like their prediction better than that of the ursine glands, so Iâll go with that.
1-1
Lawro Watch
he has doomed us to a score draw.
Southampton v Watford
We are seeing again what a good manager Marco Silva is - at this rate he might even last more than a season in charge of Watford - or at least get to Christmas anyway.
But I fancy Southampton here. They got back among the goals at St Maryâs in their previous league game there, against West Ham, after a run of five games without scoring there at the end of last season.
Lawroâs prediction: 2-0
Osi and Jasonâs prediction: 2-1
3:1 Saints
24 shots on target - our three goals from off target deflected shots / own goals from back passes
Watfordâs goal from their one shot on target and Forster flappingâŚ
Shit, Iâll take the win!
A bit suspicious if you ask me .Bertrand was also seen smiling and we all know that doesnât happen !!
The power of photoshop methinks.
They is scraping the barrel here :-
3 - 1 to the Saints. VVD on the bench. Austin and Gabbi to start up front. Lemina with his first goal.
Really difficult this for a manager.
The rule should be if you play well you kee your place in the team. And so far this season Stephens & Yoshi have not done anything to deserve being dropped.
Yet Hoedt has had a week to âbed inâ and has had International game time. Big money so should walk into the team.
And then the âstatementâ as to when VVD gets onto the bench.
Personally Iâd go
Hologram
Cedric Stephens Yoshi Bert
Lemons Oreos
Redmond Boufal Davis
Gabbi
Hoedt on the bench and not VVD for a home game
And a tedious 0-0 draw in which we have 137 shots, 1 on target and FF flaps and scares us on each of t heir 2 shots
In the second half of his press conference, the gaffa said that VVD would still not be in the squad this week.
It is tough to drop players who havenât ballsed up etc but at the end of the day they are all well paid professionals so the manager ought to improve the side if he has the tools to do so. And I presume that Hoedt was deemed better than what we already had, otherwise we wouldnât have forked out ÂŁ15m-ÂŁ17m for him. So in that respect I would get him in the team sooner rather than later.
And of course it isnât just about making mistakes vs not making mistakes. It is also what these players do with the ball, what they offer at the other end from set pieces etc and also how their presence and communication effects the rest of the team.
VVD on the other hand, that is a different situation entirely so that little bitch can wait a bit longer.
If ever a video summed up why Shane Long doesnât score many goals, watch this first shotâŚ
Nice strikes from VVD, Bertrand and a free kick from JWP. All he needs to do now is do it in a game!
Why would they even put that Long shot in the compilation? Thats embarrassing for him. Then again, he does do it every week so its not a surprise.
Maybe he was pretty pleased with that effort?! Not often he hits the target to be fair.
Baz has opened up a special thread so I thought I better bump this one to the top
