Fair point, but he'll also be wary about the consequences of picking up a significant injury in the lead up to any impending deal so, subconsciously at least, he may think twice (more so than usual) about going in for a 50/50 tackle (for example). Fine margins and all that. Probably over-analysis on my part but that hasn't stopped me thinking out loud on an internet football forum before

Shame, not least because it means he won't be 100% mentally focused on Saints during the run in. (human nature and all that)

Why is unleaded petrol called unleaded petrol instead of just 'petrol' these days?

Or that he's still not "full training" fit However, on the assumption he's fully fit, I'd go for.... ------------------------ Forster ---------------------------- -------Fonte ------- Alderweireld ------ Yoshida--------- Clyne --------------------------------------------- Bertrand ------------Wanyama ------- Schneiderlin ---------------- ----- Mane ------------- Long -------------- Djuricic ----- Subs: K.Davis, Targett, Tadic, S.Davis, JWP, Elia, Pelle

This. The initial wide angle view on that footage highlights this best because the close-ups don't show the context of what happened. It's simple....Barnes gets the ball in space and then tries to pass it to his team mate up ahead of him. As he goes to pass the ball Matic steams in and plants his leg where Barnes' natural follow through ends up. Nothing to see here...

Seems like a fair assessment to me.

Is it just me or would it be more amusing for them to make the playoffs and get knocked out rather than their season drift into mid table obscurity?

Come on Tranmere!

I'll have to watch it again as its a while since I've seen it but, from memory, he seemed in control at the moment he went to pass the ball. It was only Matic's late arrival on the scene that caused a coming together. As I say, I'll have to have another look at it in case my memory is playing tricks on me but that's my recollection.

Because he wasn't making a tackle, he was attempting a pass.

Best decade ever

Come on Tranmere!

Do you still use the word 'gay' to describe how happy you're feeling? #dodgy Trousers analogy klaxon#

Premier League ‏@premierleague GOLDEN GLOVE @FraserForster has the most clean sheets so far, but who will win the race to be the #BPL's top stopper?

This. The logical conclusion of not allowing for 'follow through' is that players shouldn't make any tackles. Other than defying the laws of physics, how else is a player supposed to tackle without following through? Fonte's was a great tackle IMO, regardless of whether its 1975 or 2015. Playing the "but you wouldn't have said that if it was the other way around" card won't change my opinion.
