Think the main problem for Stones is that he is being played in a back 3 with two shit defenders.

Yep. Stick him in between Cahill and Azpi and he'd look a much different player.

With Stones & Otamendi being the shit defenders.

Carragher gave Karius a decent clip which was amusing.

Said he'd drop him haha.

Karius would drop himself. Can't hold onto anything.

Achterberg is the Hodgson of goalkeeping coaches

Wasnt sure about Stones when we were trying to sign him. Been pretty happy so far.

Said when he was at Everton that the odd mistake wouldnt bother me too much,, I just didnt see his defensive work as that good.

But I've been inpressed with that side of his game. Only criticism is a couple of occasions he's been pushed over a bit easy in a 1 on 1 duel. Something I'd hope will improve in time.

Ho, lucky! That should be a fun game!

Never been to the South of England myself, but I'm sure you'll get some use of this guide: http://myjourneysouthampton.com/travelling-st-marys-stadium-southampton-fc#Away Fans

Hopefully you'll be able to choose the best option to arrive at the stadium.

Accommodation... try here. http://www.hotels.uk.com/attractions-uk/Southampton+Football+Club.htm

Now the pub is easy, because I know that this one advertises in the away team colours, but its Yates. You'll be at home away from home before or after the big game.

Cheers mate. Tossing up whether to head down from London early, and whether to stay in Southampton overnight. There doesn't seem to be much to do there (top rec on Trip Advisor is a small plane museum ha), so i'm tempted to catch a train from Waterloo, arrive around lunch time, grab a quick lunch and get into the beers, Was going to stay overnight, but kick off is 7:45 and I can get a train back at 11 which seems like it would be comfortable? There's no hostels down there, cheapest accommodation is the IBIS and that's another $75.

Went to the old St Marys. Don't think I've been to the new one. But just drove down for the game and straight back so now idea on accomodation.

You mean the dell I assume?

 

[moomba]

Oh yeah. That one.

 

[Zidane98]

Oh yeah. That one.

That looked a cracking atmosphere back in the Le Tissier days.

 

[chef]

Didnt realise we started the season that well.

 

[Cruyff14]

Karius would drop himself. Can't hold onto anything.

But he isn't gash

 

[jod23]

Is Coutinho back yet?

 

[WealstoneRaider]

You can't really argue about Janssen not being gash at this point in time, although Jod is obviously using it as a bit of a stick to beat us with. Bit too early though to categorically claim he can't adapt though. Everyone deserves a fair crack

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Klopp has had a crack at Gary Neville. Agent Gary is doing very well. Klopp has to stick with Lolris now. Although, I am excited by a potential Alex Manninger sighting. Seriously thought he retired a decade ago lmao.

[Bojan KantKick]

oh wow. probably too long to post but the spat between Hamann and Carragher on twitter is an absolute pisser.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Are they having a genuine spat there or what?

they were but they smoothed it over later unfortunately.

Ah they need to observe us on here to learn how to melt proper

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Never in doubt
