That rather puts some of the estimates on here of Ings' value at £60-70m in perspective!

Diallo in front of Valery on the right? Armstrong is a fantastic player and incredibly important to Saints' positive play, but he looks knackered!

Anyone with half a brain.

Reflective of the level of risk.

Antonee Robinson looked pretty good at left-back for Fulham.

Oi - that was my quote!

Indeed. Football by numbers.

Walcott flatters to deceive. Diallo now understands the difference between Ligue 1 and the Premier League. He is not the full Action Man Romeu. Stephens did his job, which was to defend. McCarthy's distribution continues to take the piss for a team that plays out from the back. Good stopper though. Armstrong is a great attacker, but a liability in the home third; if he wins the ball back defensively, he needs to hoof it away, rather than try to be tricky. Adams' thighs are fucking massive. Shane Long...

How shit must Redmond be?

Just fuck Redmond off to somewhere from which he cannot return.

Excellent post. Fortunately, when the squad is at full strength, Saints have 4 players to play the middle 2.

Armstrong should be banned from crossing into his own third, where he can be a bit of a liability! Ahead of that, though, he is bloody useful. Great player.

I get a few seconds, then a message "Oh no! Sonething's gone wrong." Followed by a long error code

Anyone else struggling with Now TV? I can hear the pre-match commentary, but can't see anything...

Watching him against Everton, what is the point of Mario Lemina?

Class.

And "mum's".

Oh, do fuck off. This is a football forum.

Agreed, too slow and no motor for the pressing game. Can he even tackle? Seems a nice fella, though...

I tend to agree, but why is this not being replicated in other major leagues (accepting that the natural order of La Liga has been somewhat disrupted thus far)?

For whatever reason, defence is a problem for all teams in the Premier League this season. Shipping 3 goals to that strike-force is no disgrace, irrespective of who may have been to blame.

At Barcelona?!

I think VvD is bored and needs to move to Barcelona.

Do they have that chant amongst the crowd noise recordings?

I lived in south Manchester at the time - happy days!
