his goal against newcastle was pretty far from put on a plate for him, the guy also has a hammer of a left foot .. if this formation is 3421 he could of also been used as the right sighded attacker allowing him to cut onto his left foot. probably wont be any worse then tadic ?

great ward prouse, redmond and tadic starting over the likes of boufal lemina and gabbiadini.. what is mp doing ?

thought jeremy pied looked good today. his crossing is better then cedrics and he looks an able deputy. its kind of a shame that gabbiadini is getting frozen out of the team think he is one of our best players, dont really want him to be disgruntled and move away. austin has taking his chance well probably suits the way we are playing better and dserves to keep his place, but couldnt gabbi fit in somewhere? he used to play on the right of attack at napoli and could maybe even play the ten role better then tadic.. we know he has a good long shot on him

i think we would be better off moving to a 352. get rid of the non creating tadic and redmond and gives us more in the middle forster yoshida hoedt van dijk cedric lemina romeau bertrand boufal gabbiadini . austin/long

great post

Really do not have a clue when it comes to attacking. best it ever gets is tadic trying to put a flick down the flank so cedric can try to get a cross in. no attempts do do anything through the middle.. bertrand never seemed to overlap or combine with boufal, gabbiadini totally starved of service again..

If pellegrino takes this stance he's inviting pressure on himself. Every time we fail to score and boufal is stuck on the bench the fans faith in mp is going to drain away.

still think gaston was also a talent we didnt make the best of.. more understandable i guess when we had lambert rodriguez and lallana all in fine form... hope pelegrino wakes up now and makes boufal a first team player

Wheres all the boufal is rubbish idiots tonight?? just because a player isnt selected doesnt mean hes not a talent

pretty shocking the ammount of people wanting les reed gone, hasnt he done a great job leading us into europe twice and 4 consecutive top ten finishes?. also the recruitment compared to most other teams has been pretty great with mane van dijk etc..Lastly he is the football man at our club would you really want his successor being chosen by the likes of krueger or the gao family ?

disapointed in pelegrino so far to be honest. we sacked puel for his boring football but so far this guy is worse. i understand he has inherited much of the same squad puel had but it seems he is favouring the grind and graft type players over any spark of creativity. gabbiadini and boufal probably our most exciting players and both are now dropped with boufal not even getting on the bench last time. this guy was a record signing yet we are not even giving him a chance to shine whilst redmond has proved himself already as a headless chicken with no end product and most of the time doesnt even try to take players on or use his pace. the first 11 we have put out the last 2 games have zero flair or shooting ability, maybe we have been spoiled the last few years but we are feeling more like a team that can only grind for results now like a west brom or something.

He has done as much as Redmond really with not even a quarter of the gametime. And at least is a attacking creative option from the bench if we are chasing the game.

Boufal and jack Stephens don't even make the bench??? Seems harsh on both

Would much rather see boufal get a run of games in his position. Redmond has had a ton of games to prove he's average at best there's a really exciting player in boufal but he's just not getting any chances for a run in the side

well we kept van dijk when we wanted too. i understand we cant keep them forever but we dont have to sell as soon as clubs come knocking and roll over. lallana had just signed a new deal so if we had wanted to could have kept him longer. just because a player is being offered more money elsewhere doesnt mean we have to agree to it.

trying not to panic yet but cant see that he has actually implemented his own style yet. i remember when poch came in and replaced adkins and his first game in charge you could see the differance his pressing tactics happened instantly in our first game. was hoping for a simular impact from the new mauricio but lets give him time

wasnt he always a winger at lille? most of the clips ive watched at his time there is all fast skillfull wingplay more in the style of a young ronaldo.. not sure hes a number 10 like some people think

Big respect to the board for holding van dijk. Makes a refreshing chance from feeling frustrated losing our best players every year. Very happy tonight

meh on vietto from me. his goal record isnt that great for a forward and doesnt look anywhere near as good as gabbiadini or as good as boufal before we signed him if we are thinking of playing him elsewhere.. looks more a juanmi type to me

Likely the agent would have been leaking it to the press if there was anything I'm sure the media would have been all over that and we always hear about other players clauses.. instead all we get from the media is the same two month old click bait rubbish we have been reading all summer. Maybe this is one of the reasons his old agent got the bullet, that he was advised to signing a long deal he couldn't get out of??.

Also makes you wonder why vvd didn't stipulate a release clause for whatever fee if a big club came in? Not saying this is a good thing but if he wanted this why sign a long deal without it?

Don't understand this type of thinking he's not contributing because he's trying to get what he wants, once the window shuts he will have to knuckle down and play. What's the worst that can happen by holding him? He's not suddenly gonna be only worth 20m next year or the year after for that matter. Also don't understand the people getting so angry with him... News flash majority of our players that get tapped up by the likes of scousers are gonna do this in the future.. players are happy to be here until something better comes along. This is our chance to make a stand and not let the players throwing toys out of their pram to get what they want like lallana and wanyama did, if we back down now any one that wants to leave simply has to throw a strop and weak saints will cave in.

Probably not a goer as he signed a new contract but this guy would totally fit the bill http://youtu.be/a9iqBKrLSw0

both have better decision making and ability to play a decent ball then redmond. davies has done well in advanced role before and a bit harsh to put jwp in the least creative players we have. hes improving all the time and his delivery usually gets close to getting assists like romeau"s header today

would like to give this a try for next game. lemina romeau davis ward prouse . boufal gabbi think davis and ward prouse at least provide a bit of creativity to try and unlock defenses and hopefully spot the great movement of gabby. could switch the 2 up if its not working and have davis as the am and prousy outside for his delivery. not a fan of redmond, lightweight, bad decision making and not even that exciting for a player with his speedy attributes. would like to see boufal get his chance.
