Fraser has been awful. Should have done better with both but going with his form this season I'm not surprised.

Might as well have a statue in goal. Useless.

Unless Puel is bluffing it sounds like Stephens starting.

Was he in the video though? Nice option to have if he's available.

Just watched the same video. Caceres is an absolute giant. If he's even 75 per cent. fit he is the best hope we've got of containing Zlatan IMO.

Wasn't he banned because of the investigation into those alleged comments against John Obi Mikel? He's a showtime ref who thinks that fans have paid to watch him rather than the game.

Good riddance to the most arrogant referee in the league.

Not really sure you can blame the club for allowing 'bandwagon jumping' in the hope of boosting attendances. The Arsenal tickets in particular were pretty cheap so can see why a lot of people bought those. Appreciate its hard for those who don't live anywhere near SMS but the club have to draw the line somewhere and, unfortunately, one away game attended this season was never likely to be enough realistically. Hope you manage to source a ticket from somewhere.

This doesn't sound right. Don't know why Corporate tickets bought through the club would be excluded.

In exactly the same situation, almost exactly. Well put.

Vidal plays right back/right wing back...does Caceres play there?

No way - will have been set when he signed his new 5 year deal last season.

Agreed.

Would start Redmond and bring Boufal on if we need him. Redmond played very well today and was brilliant against Liverpool in the away semi. He deserves to keep his place I think.

We need to find a way of neutralising Ibra and Pogba (easier said than done) but if we can limit their influence on the game we've got an excellent chance. I think we start the same team as today only query, as above, is whether we start Hoj or Clasie over JWP to give us a bit more steel in the tackle but JWP has been good recently. We should have decent options with Long, JRod and Boufal (if fit) on the bench if we are chasing the game.

Blimey, what a stat.

I wouldn't exactly call Gabbi 'short' he's over six foot!

Well done Saints. Wasn't expecting that. Gabbi is different class.

Wish we could produce performances like that more often. If we played like that more often than not I'd be over the moon!

First time for everything! Brilliant.

Exactly. Once we brought on Long we were never going to bring him on as well. Maybe the rumours of him not being too happy are true? To be honest, with Gabbi showing promise, Austin to come back, Gallagher to come back and Long providing a different option off the bench I would be surprised to see him leave in the summer.

JRod throws a strop on the bench. Unlike him.

Agree. We've played very well today, unfortunately we are just so inconsistent.

Romeu really is a fantastic player. Excellent performance today.
