It looked to me like a deliberate stamp to the back of the knee. Very nasty and intentional. There was an earlier one too (not Pogba - but Man U - can't remember who) that the ref missed or let go. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Spot on. Good post. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Great performance and good to see the manager being prepared to change tactics. Although still think Redmond was largely a waste of space. He should have come off rather than Long. We had no outlet threat at the end. Missed the end as had to catch the last train. Which was cancelled, so my delight was completed by arriving home at 2:45, three hours late.

Gutted. Team set up to do a job, and did it. Robbed by the ref. But great performance. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I'll assume this is totally ironic. The Redmond bit, at least. Long could do a job as an outlet if we're pegged back but not as a host scorer (perhaps we're playing for nil) and Romeu doesn't deserve to displace PEH or Lemina. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Four. Dead heat. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Great, thanks. And just for a change, we're laughing at the opposition's ineptitude instead of crying over ours. [emoji3] Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Because I think it's a 8-0-2 formation. Midfield is overrated. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

But at least 50 points would be more comfortable. Still, 10-12 points from these tough fixtures should put us in a reasonable position to push on when we hit "easier" games again. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

It's St Mary's. They used to bring them up on the coaches, but not any more. No collection St away grounds. Do you know anyone who can pick up for you? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

We have ten games between now and Watford on Jan 13. Ridiculous to think this is over a quarter of a season in six weeks, but it's the way the PL do it (and it keeps Sky/BT happy). Some tough games so points needed from the "easier" ones. Predictions? I'd be happy with 12 points: Man City L Bournemouth D Arsenal D Leicester W Chelsea L Huddersfield W Spurs L Man Utd L Palace W Watford D Anything more, a bonus. And I think 12 is maybe optimistic.

I'd probably keep PEH in. Could be the game to play 3 CBs. The thing I really, really want to see is no Redmond. The whole spirit of the team seems to lift without him. We didn't miss him. We don't need him. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

This. 100% Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Agreed. He is far more important to the team than a set piece taker. Links play, works hard. Great understanding with Davis. Far better than Redmond, who we missed today not one little bit. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I think many underestimate JWP, and in particular his partnership with Davis. He's not just a set piece specialist. For example, the assist for the last goal today and his workrate in pressing and linking play. If you think of him as an alternative to Redmond there's no question that he brings far more intelligence and coherence to the team. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

They can have VVD for £80m if they give us £40m for Tadic. Bargain. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

3-4. Looked like a clear foul in the build-up Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

3-3. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

2-3. Ridiculous game. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

I can't believe how poor our defence is. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

1-2. Just like the first team. Looking livelier once they were 0-2 down. Actually, some good movement now. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

0-2. Very poor. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

It seems that way to me. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

He was badly out of position claiming a free kick. Very poor. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Wrong team. Wrong tactics. If Lemina isn't fit next week, we're in deep doodah. Redmond must go, probably Tadic too. That was as pathetic a Saints performance as I've seen in a long time, ad the manager is responsible. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
