It would be lovely to sneak a scummy equaliser. Off someone’s arse

Long should never play for us again. Abysmal

Replay shows McCarthy kneeling for the goal. Think that’s before the game, Alex

Ooh Bertrand. Unlucky

This ref is shocking

Salisu's selection would beat Fraser and Theo's teams approximately 26-0

Must be a very bad injury. All very odd.

Is that allowed? Is the team (Saints) effectively Ings' bubble, and therefore mixing with another team verboten? Hope he's allowed, obvs. Just wondering.

oof. And Vestergard still out with his knee injury the precise nature of which we're still not sure about. Leicester will be a very tough ask.

Good. Sign him up and get him some coaching badges too.

Anyone know how Vestergaard is getting on? Leicester were after him. Presume that's all off...

What is the injury, then?

Whenever I see a striker linked it makes me worried about Ings. Suppose it could be both, or replacement for the space Obafemi will ultimately free up...

Chambers back wouldn't be a big gamble and would add to the good PR optics of people like Theo being drawn back to a good well run club run by a decent manager. Low-cost, low-risk, and decent cover, especially if Vestergard is sold (please no)

Nathan Redmond Instagram post mysteriously talks about ‘signing announcement’ and him saying yes sir about Jordon Mutch, with a pic or two of him. Incoming?

I think Walcott is a bit like a red setter. Quick but a bit highly strung and wild. Occasionally this allows him Ince did the same in his 'vewy, vewy' weird way of talking. As if lowly Southampton are only a stepping stone. Convincing Ralf to stay will be one way of making this something that might become rarer in the future. That and teams like Aston Villa and Leicester continuing their upward rise too.

Didn't like him much when he said Liverpool were 'a much better team than Southampton'. And was pretty irksome how much of the debate is always about the 'crisis' that is befalling any 'big' team we have the temerity to beat. Pundits perpetuate the big six and are forever talking about them failing rather than the excellent tactics and displays we and other teams produce. It's a right pain.

To be fair that Walcott tackle was an absolute horror and I was waiting in trepidation when the ball clearly hit Stephens' arm for a pen (although it would have been harsh). Mane just dived. And so did Salah. Bunch of cheats. Glad to have beaten them and stopped all the sentimental Marsden montages (not not Chris)

Quite. So ridiculously biased

He should keep his place

Carragher really is a tit. Superb performance from Forster, Stephens, Diallo and Ings

Diallo and Stephens have both been absolutely excellent tonight.

Valery. Seriously.

Shane Long warming up. Jeez
