It's really not, feel free to rewatch it - he received the ball in the middle of the park, held off his man and spun round him on a number of occasions, as well as playing in the fullbacks with excellent passes and getting an excellent ball into the box from the byline. I've been critical of him all season but he was very effective for us today.

Interesting way of looking at it, that. Boufal does track back but obviously isn't defensively minded, and gets a lot of criticism for it. But you never hear people criticise Romeu because he's solid defensively but "needs to be doing more when attacking".

I...never said he wasn't? Just said I would no longer be overly concerned if we did sell him to reinvest the funds elsewhere. I believe our centreback options are more than good enough for a top 10 side pushing for european places even without VVD.

Mayas had the benefit of 5 years playing in this country with this team in fairness. Hoedts had less than a dozen games.

Tadic had a very good game today through the middle, no way should he be dropped. ---------Forster Cedric VVD Hoedt Bertrand -----Romeu Lemina Redmond Tadic Boufal ---------Austin Lemina in my eyes is the replacement and upgrade for Davis as his career starts winding down. Both press forward with the ball and keep it well under pressure - Lemina is obviously just better at it.

Probably why the likes of Dzeko and Giroud were/are consistently dropped to the bench despite having very good goal records.

Was very good today other than the one big mistake. Done enough that I wouldn't be overly concerned with Van Dijk leaving and reinvesting the money elsewhere.

Been saying all season that Redmond on the right wing, crossing with his stronger foot instead of cutting inside and going backwards, would pay dividends. Stick with it please and don't just put him out on the left wing again. Progress is being made. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Why the **** were they allowed to take that? Ball went out of play on 3 minutes. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

2 up top! Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Genuinely think 3 at the back, 2 up top with wingbacks to make more use of our full backs in an attacking sense would be the best solution for saints this season. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Anyone else does what Lemina just did and there's be a dozen posts already about it Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Good introduction for Lemina. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Tadic has had a good game for me, would have brought lemina on for davis Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

The player who started? Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Bertrand saw the headlines. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

YESSSSSSS Redmond on the right and he gets a great assist, ****ING PLAY HIM ON THE RIGHT. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

For the love of god do not bring Gabbi On, we would be completely isolated and lose all forward impetus. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Wtf was Bertrand doing there, so slow twice to get out to the ball. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Man City would too. Good job performances vary. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Ward prowse off for Redmond...as long as he's playing on the right I'm ok with that. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Davis off for Lemina would see us much more positive in the second half. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

Haven't played badly today. Still need more forward impetus. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk

It's the first time he's given it away, the first two times he took it past their player easily. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk
