Diallos passing is too inaccurate.

Good play Lyanco

How is that not a foul on tella!? The corruption begins early.

With two inexperienced midfielders and an ancient milner for them we really should have played Romeu alongside Prowsey to try and dominate it.

I know that. You really think his one relegation season at saints versus his 11 years at Liverpool makes him impartial?

He's really set himself up to fail here, we should be putting in the type of performance we saw V City, United and Spurs away this season.

Two ex Liverpool players as pundits. If we manage to get a win here the post match analysis will be a joy to behold.

Is Romeu being sold or something?

Even if we hold them to a draw it's all but over, they'd have to make up a 7 goal difference on City going into the final game against a team that's conceded less goals than anyone else outside the top 4.

Oh definitely.

Ah yes, my bad.

The fact they have a few out gives me hope, plus the fact our players do seem to love raising their game against the top sides (generally speaking, a few horrific results aside). Keeping Diaz quiet is really important though, I don't know if Tino is fit but I really, really hope he picks KWP at right back.

Exactly, but the media and experts always tell us how dangerous it is for people to come out. Hopefully now it's happened everyone will shut the fuck up about it.

Yeah i'd say it's almost impossible now for goal difference to matter, and Liverpool have had their fingers burnt before in going for a huge goal difference boosting win.

Excellent!

Prowsey nominated for Premier League player of the season. Think he might have kicked on.

There is some light left in the world after all. That's the best thing I've seen this year. I also have to say that's one of the best thread titles I've ever seen.

In fairness we're only looking for backup to KWP and a stopgap till Tino is fit again. Signing a more experienced player on a one year deal might make sense.

He's also a dirty cheating prick who I wouldn't want to see in a Saints shirt.

I wouldn't want Raphinha or Ayling to be honest.

Clearly you've never done an accumulator. I've had 60%+ of a betslip go against me more than I've had it go for me.

I'm not suggesting he is the only signing we make.

That's still missing the point. If Forster doesnt want to accept a reduced contract then of course that's his right. What I'm saying is there is no scenario in which we should be keeping McCarthy. Also I couldn't disagree more about the importance of investing in a keeper. I think it should be our number one priority in the summer. Having a much better keeper would probably be worth an extra 10 points to us at least.

Optimist in me thinks of the last time they went desperately for a goal difference increasing win while chasing the league and Palace ended up coming back from 3-0 down to draw. We have that same level of fight...don't we...?

Nketiah available on a free in the summer. Would be a perfect signing for a skint Saints side (especially with strikers being overpriced generally), would get us 10+ goals a season and mean we could focus funds on the defense and keeper.
