Not really important who it is...however if thats the case then they have to go.

Yeah, amazing how limited our options are which is probably why we don't play with an attacking 4.

Surely the squad were fitter under Poch? They were absolutely on it every game, just tired towards the end of the season.

Is our fitness in general to question? Not the first time we've seemed to be outrun on the pitch.

No such thing anymore...

Quite a few teams have barely rotated, we rotate because Puel doesn't know his best side.

Gary Lineker ‏@GaryLineker 19h19 hours ago If you think this PL holiday fixture list is mad, here's next year: December 16/20/23/26/30 January 1. World Cup follows. Utterly Bonkers.

It's nonsense anyway, Of course you have to spend money when you lose half your team every summer!

Whats the earliest he could be back? Got to be tempted to play a 4231 and play Redmond - Tadic - J-Rod -----------Long-----------

Agree thats the model, and I have no problem if we are playing good football to watch, being proud of my team, and we're still winning games. When it goes the other way, the football is dull and we're not getting results, then you have to question the board/manager. We may have replaced Mane with Boufal, and he looks a really good talent, but changing the system away from the norm for the last 4/5 years has caused us huge problems. We seem to be stuck between what the players seem to want to do (press) and what the manager seems to want to do (sit off). Losing Pelle has been catastrophic too as we have no focal point and no one to get on the end of crosses.

Makes sense !

Maybe putting 2+2 together...saints snapchat saying Hojbjerg has a new number...41. Firstly is this allowed? Secondly Gabbiandini wears 23...

Never thought Ronald would go there so everything is a possibility! Pretty sure he won't go in January though.

According to some Everton fan on twitter, he reckons: Shez Online Investor ‏@ShezOneCoin Dec 28 We are going in hard for Van Dijk. Southampton not willing to sell us after we took Koeman off them. Player wants the move. #EFC Surprised if VVD wants the move....claims he knew about Koeman back in May though.

Made the most tackles out of anyone on the pitch vs Spurs apparently...

Fonte is then ?!

Gabbiadini? €18m+2m bonus is in the press

Wonder what Morgan is thinking. Wonder if he regrets leaving, because despite the bank balance going up his career has gone down the pan!

They're not as good this year. Would go with the same line up, possibly Redmond in for Tadic. It's a winnable game as long as we don't let them suffocate us with the press. I want us to take the game to them and press them, the players look much happier pushing the oppo back than sitting back in our own half.

Can he score 20 goals?

Just annoying that we have no strikers who feed off crosses given the amount we put in the box. Pelle would be almost perfect playing in this system.

I'd actually be tempted to play Reed as DM. Perfect time to give him some game time, might give the team a lift too with another youngster coming in.

Crikey, Glasgow is absolutely loving it at the moment. It's a problem yes, but no need to spread it over 25,000 threads...!

2-0 Bompey - they're playing some excellent stuff at the moment and we cannot score. ----------Forster Cedric Fonte VVD Bertrand ----------Clasie------------- -----Hojbjerg--JWP--------- Boufal-----Long-----Redmond
