Where has this idea we only had one preseason match come from? I thought we had 3 or 4.

Djenepo on for Redmond.

Ludicrous really, selling him for a minimal fee and saving on wages that won't be spent anywhere else until next summer anyway, so that we can have a youngster on the bench to "get him time around the first team" without trusting him to be able to make a difference. When Boufal - whilst inconsistent - was probably our best fit option yesterday to create something out of nothing against a stoic defence.

"Koch has been rock solid today".

He was good at times and utter wank at others. He was actually noticeable though unlike Smallbone for us today.

Christ that was painful. Will give it another go but not sure how many more after that.

Hate playing palace. And Vestergard is fucking shite.

Because they're different players.

Would help if he was played on the right wing, almost every time he plays out there he looks so much better. On the left 9/10 times he'll be cutting inside and passing backwards.

JWP top left corner coming up.

How have we not made an attacking change yet...Ralph can sometimes be far too stubborn about substitutions. Maybe that's why he is so famous for liking smaller squads as he sticks with the first team as much as possible anyway.

Adams is a cunt for diving and not shooting. Get him off and in the reserves for a month.

The guy has no stand out attributes. Can anyone tell me what kind of midfielder he is? Is he creative? An enforcer? Can he dribble round people?

Never a red, VAR working well.

What??????

Redmond should have scored.

Vestergard on for Bednarek not Stephens.

Long up top would give us an option to play it in the air, Adams hasn't even touched it has he?

Smallbone is possibly the most ineffective player ever to put on a Saints shirt. He just doesn't get involved.

Smallbone fucking useless.

Poor pass from Romeu and Redmond weak in letting them get there first.

As we're struggling to find a fee, we should take a look at Delar Kuzyaev, 27 years old, out of contract midfielder who plays anywhere across midfield. A real box to box midfielder. Wages might be highish as he played for Zenit At Petersburg last but might be attainable for around £50k per week.

And replaced with who? Who do you suggest we would sign as a fourth choice winger who would make as much impact as he has proven he can make whilst being happy to be fourth choice winger?

Imagine an alternate reality where Markus was still around with his little digital camera. We had it so good for such a short period of time.

Would be really disappointed if Rashica moved to another premier League club after two seasons of (seemingly) being trying to sign him.
