Surprised we didn't include Sesay on the bench. Bit of an oversight having no DM in reserve...? (Easy to say in hindsight I know but...)

Danger we get overrun in midfield (more so than usual) with Downes out and no natural back up defensive midfielder in the squad...?

Which is what makes me fit in so well on this forum...

So, in summary, it's just an unfortunate coincidence that Baz always find himself towards the bottom of these 'flawed' measurement system...?

Seems likely

Playing devil's advocate, isn't the whole point of having a good keeper is that you've got someone who bails the team out when the defenders let you down...? (Of course, one answer to that is: have better defenders... Well, quite...)

Aye...

😂

To be fair, jumping to an early negative conclusion has often served the doom-mongers well under the Sport Republic regime. Obviously good to see the trend being bucked this time around though 👍🏻

I wonder if Ralph is sat at home thinking: "If only these Sport Republic bastards had given me this kind of backing three years ago, Southampton would still be a half decent Premier League side..." #whatmighthavebeen

Edozie out, Scienza in...?

Re-united with Mad Nate perhaps...?

Yeah, you'd like to think he was in the loop

😂

"like a Schweinsteiger in his best days, only better" Blimey.... *that* good...?

Turtley understand

So many punchlines, too little time.... 😂

It's "I have my tortoise" actually (sticking my neck out there)

Reminded me more of Loyd Grossman on 'Through the Keyhole' "Now... who would live in a house like thiiiiiiis? It's over to you David...."
