Forster must be the most expensive wheelie bin in history. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

He's won 4 games. I think literally any manager/coach/trainee tea lady in the world could've won 4 out of 20 games with us. He's bringing nothing to an already rubbish party. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

20 games (12 at home), 4 wins. Are we going to wait for his win percentage to drop into the teens (Boxing Day) before something is done, or are single figures the cut off point? It hasn't worked. There's been no signs that it will work. He should be out of work. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Oh well, that's one way to nullify the incoming ban... Bloke's made of glass. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Yoshida losing his man to concede another headed goal slap bang in the middle of the area. How many times? Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

A bad back? He's Harry Redknapp'd the hell out of Dodge. I'm sure everything will get better now... Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

19 games, 4 wins, 3 points above the relegation zone. Wonder how much worse it has to get before the club acts. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

I make it 8 goals conceded by Forster already this season from outside the area. Wonder what the record is. What's the point in packing the defence if the opposition can continually score against us without having to bother to break it down? For comparison, we've scored 1 goal from outside the area. And only 4 in the entirety of last season. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Hahahahaha Unless he's got Panamanian ancestry, he won't be going to this or any World Cup. Who's going to sign him? A premier league side? Come on... Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

4 wins from 18 games. 11 of those games have been at home. He's useless. And he'll take us down. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Baby steps of improvement, but the fact is only the bottom four have won less games than us - at the end of this relatively difficult run of fixtures over the Christmas and New Year period, is anyone confident that we'll be in any better shape? 4 wins in 17 matches in all competitions is pretty abject any way you slice it.

Stephens actually won a header in the box today. Just the one, but it's a step in the right direction. I think many of us have felt he'd go well on the right of a back three, and he certainly backed that up with his performance. Echoing what others have said about us being too negative in the second half - if that was the plan, why did we leave Tadic and Redmond on for so long when they were only turning the ball over? If we could've just retained possession a bit better we would've won that, but we gave it up so cheaply time and again. Why Lemina wasn't called into action was puzzling. He can tackle, pass and also carry the ball forward - attributes we were crying out for. Great effort, lots of huff and puff, but a lack of quality on the ball generally, I thought. This isn't a vintage Arsenal team but we treated them like they were Barcelona. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

1-0 h/t. Not sure how we're ahead, to be honest. We look shaky in defence and horrible in possession - don't think this line up is working. Ward-Prowse is again a passenger, Redmond is just a terrible player, Romeu is getting bypassed too easily in transition when we (inevitably) lose possession after three passes. Great finish by Austin, a quality save low down from Forster, and Hojbjerg has been excellent. I think a reshuffle at the break is in order, though. Can't believe Lemina isn't on the pitch.

A draw's better than nothing, but we remain that worrying combination of sluggish in attack and uneasy at the back. If we can only win games against clubs in midst of a crisis, it's going to be a long journey to 40 points. Ward-Prowse must've been dragged off at half time around four times now in his last ten to twelve starts. Quality. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Really poor - Bournemouth deservedly ahead, should've had a penalty too. Zero counterattacking threat due the sloth-like make up of our forward line. Pretty grim viewing. Even without his mistake, Hoedt hasn't been impressive - badly caught flatfooted by Ake in a carbon copy of his goal in this fixture last season. Where do we go from here? Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Typical - first game of the season I miss and we suddenly kick into life. Much needed result, and by all accounts the performance to boot. Nice. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

Well, Fulham turned down £25m from Spurs in the summer, so a) he'll cost more than we can scrape together and b) he'll know he has much better options than joining us. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

What is most depressing is that we've sold so much talent, with the promise that all the funds will be reinvested, and THIS is the squad we've ended up with after peeing all that money up the wall. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

I can certainly believe some of our tactics have been pulled out of Eric Black's box. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

"Set piece specialist Ward-Prowse"-watch: 71st minute. Men against boys here. Prime steak verses something that probably isn't even food. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

I think it's fair to say Liverpool are a bit better than us. Their attack is Salah, Mane, Firmino and Coutinho. Our is, uh, Shane Long. Both goals pretty soft. Tadic predictably dawdling on the ball, and Forster predictably beaten from outside the area not moving his feet. The second goal was poor from everyone. Coutinho had all day to pick a pass in behind, Van Dijk for some reason was five yards ahead of the defensive line, Hoedt had no idea where Salah was, Bertrand couldn't be bothered tracking the inside run. All very routine for Liverpool, unfortunately. We have no goal threat, the Romeu-Davis midfield axis is continually overrun (as it is every time they're paired) and concede very soft goals. This game's over. By Christmas our Premier League status could be headed the same way. There's no obvious thin sliver of hope to even cling to. Unless Josh Sims is going to come back from injury as Leo Messi. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

**** Advocaat resigns as Holland boss. I wonder if Ronald has played a blinder and gotten a fat pay off to leave a job he never really wanted, only to walk into one of his two stated "dream" appointments a few short weeks later? Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

He looks slow and out of shape. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk

I don't see us making 40 points, so survival is going to come down to how poor everyone else is in comparison. I think all three promoted sides will stay up, so there's going to be some "established" names falling through the trapdoor this season - Saints' mixture of self-important prima donnas, arm-waving, shoulder-shrugging lack of fight, and general lethargy is not exactly well suited to a successful relegation battle.

Quite similar in style and build to Gabbiadini - and injury prone to boot. Not sure this story rings true. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk
