I struggle to see a 33-year-old Billy Sharp being of use to Saints under Hasenhuttl. I'd prefer to see Ings, Redmond, Obafemi and Gallagher as strikers for Saints.
My sponsorship from Heisenberg has ended. Open to it being renewed from the boss, but if not someone else can...

If we continue at the rate of points per game Hasenhuttl has (1.3) then we won't be in the relegation zone at the end of the season. Yesterday was bad... but look at the bigger sample of his 11 games in charge and we have improved a lot and are averaging enough under him to stay up.
Hasenhuttl has been in charge for 11 games and has won 15 points.
An average of 1.3 points per game
That is not relegation form... over a 38 game season it would = 51 points!
3 morons in a crowd of 31,438 = 0.009% morons
99.991% of the crowd observed the minute*silence respectfully... but*that isn't an interesting story for the media.
The morons represent themselves, not the club or other Saints fans!
Even if you don't believe the shirt pull influenced the arm movement ( which it would). The shirt pull starts before the handball. The first incident of the shirt pull should be dealt with and a free kick awarded, meaning the handball is irrelevant!
No it wasn't. Barnes was already falling over before he reached McCarthy. He then left a trailing leg so it would be caught. That is why he was rightfully booked for simulation.
For the second one Crouch is clearly pulling Stephens shirt. When jumping you use your arms for leverage and being pulled like that is going to move them from where you intended. It should have been a free kick to Saints for the shirt pull on Stephens!
Wouldn't it be fairer to judge a 22 year old on the current season as not every player is ready to score a load of senior goals at 18.
This season Adams has scored 14 goals in 28 league games... which is impressive for a team in the bottom half of the Championship.
Wing backs need pace, and that is something Ward-Prowse lacks and opponents would look to exploit that vunerability time after time. He also isn't remotely suited to playing as a full back in a back four.
He is playing well in the roles he is currently being used in.
