You're only as good as your squad

[Zatara]

Zat we’re playing all the young lads like you’ve harped on for years about and we’re the worst team in the league.

What about that man?

Defence = No young lads apart from Kenny. Holgate not played in eons.
Midfield - No kids started
Attack = DCL who was on his own with no service.

Where are all these kids you speak of and all these failed chances they've had ?

 

[Zatara]

Poor Cuco. Cant even get in your team of losers.

Indescribable pain thinking of why he was signed.

 

[ilikecheese]

No they wouldn't.

Niasse would be with the seniors.

12 of our 13 league goals are from the old guys. Niasse 5, Rooney 4, Baines 2, and Gylfi 1.

So.... Seniors 0 - 1 Juniors (Calvert-Lewin 46) is what you are saying??

The goal just after half time is a given...

It's a squad game these days...which of these players based on this season would start games for a team not in the bottom three;

Stekelenburg
Martina Jagielka Williams Baines
Schneiderlin
Klaassen Besic
Lennon Mirallas
Sandro
​

Honorable mentions
Keane - Nosedived
McCarthy - Mr injured
Gana - Nosedived
Rooney - Retirement

No thanks. I'd rather play with ten men.

I think the biggest shock is that 10 other teams have scored 13 or less so far this season. Goal scoring is really not the big worry. Leading the league in conceding goals is clearly our biggest issue.

Wrack up how many games have been played by the U23 lads this season and you have your answer Zat. As a human you learn from mistakes but only if you acknowledge them mate.

As I was cheerfully reminded today 3 of that team "starred" in southampton's 2015 start to the season, the one where they finished 6th. Go figure eh?
