Less than 10 league goals between the three of them. If that's good form then I'd like to see bad...!

Carroll will cause mayhem here. Can see us conceding at least two. Given we can't score can only see a defeat here unfortunately.

Did you watch the Arsenal game?

If Yoshida gets injured then it will. Gardos and Stephens for any prolonged period...gulp...

Agreed. I think it's unlikely but it's not out of the question.

Humiliated in the cup to rest our players to play like that against a cr*p Swansea. Masterclass from Puel. This rotation b*llocks is doing us no favours at all.

Shows up lying Les doesn't it?

Where's the centre back Les?

Nope but we are in a cup final so it's all ok

Watch us announce Gabbiadini now to mask another defeat. Pathetic.

Puel has a lot to answer for. If we can play with some urgency at the end why can't we do it all game? Don't get me started on the rotation as well. Done well to get to a final but need a change pre next season.

Unfortunately "not bad" usually means no points.

Not once Uncle Les gets warmed up.

At least we've got an hour and a half to sign some replacements...

A leaky defence and an impotent attack isn't a good combo is it?

And there we go.

The job of the manager is to make it "our day" more often than not. Unfortunately for Puel, there have been more bad performances than good this year.

Carry on like this next season post our customary round of summer sales and we are in serious trouble.

Not good enough again. Makes surrendering the FA Cup all the more worthwhile eh?

Exactly and, in context of Les saying we wouldn't let him go on deadline day, why would the timing of the sale matter if we were replacing from within? Les led us to believe we'd be buying or loaning a replacement and he hasn't delivered. Despite what his apologists say he's got a track record of saying things and then not delivering. With VVD out he's taken a huge gamble.

My only gripe if we don't get someone is why we sold Fonte without a replacement or why Les Reed said we'd only sell if we replaced. Our approach to the CB issue seems a bit haphazard if we have been, as reported, caught out by Tasci's injury/change of heart on the last day of the window. In previous years we've mocked clubs for doing last minute panic business on deadline day and now we find ourselves doing it to remedy a deficiency we have had since the day we sold Fonte.

How do you know that Watson recommended anyone? Or that they were available? Or do you mean Taylor?

Adam Leich on Twitter saying the club are hoping for a defender but aren't certain we will get one. Poor planning to leave it to deadline day IMO. Very unlike Saints.

Then we are talking Stephens and Gardos at Wembley. gulp.

ESPN saying Tasci deal off. Got a horrible feeling we are going to leave ourselves too light at the back.
