2-1 Leicester

We go top if we win.

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/11668070.Saints_won_t_change_style_despite_Pelle_and_Davis_blows/?ref=mac Bad news, though nothing specific about the Davis injury (only that he is injured).

Where did this come from? Hopefully, if true, nothing that will keep him out of the Everton game.

Not exactly a shock after losing 6-1 to Birmingham at the weekend. Reading have been poor this season.

Agreed, would still like to have him in our squad right now than playing occasionally for Hull. It was a loan that really did not make any sense with our pathetically thin squad. But I guess Ron doesn't rate him.

Danger of paying too much attention to stats. He was instrumental in Pelle's goal against Man U, but doesn't get a credit because there were 2 subsequent touches. Of course he could score more goals, but it is naive to judge based solely on these, his drive, vision and attacking mentality when he plays clearly makes us tick, which is why we should try to avoid playing him in DM, even though he can play that role if needed.

Still think the 4-6-2 Pacific formation is better, the trailing bogey allows for extra coal capacity.

Struggling to see the logic of someone who has not scored 1 goal for the Club being the penalty taker. Maybe in the future, surely Pelle should take the pens, even though Tadic has only missed 1 in 13.

It has been confirmed that Tadic was on our black box radar screen before Koeman joined, just that Koeman pushed it to conclusion.

Exactly, and also ensures that the situations do not arise in the first place. He may not have prevented Fonte's appalling back pass against Man U, granted, but in the end that mistake did not cost us the game. It is a fact that we make fewer defensive errors when Morgan is playing, his play also gives his fellow defensive players confidence.

Morgan didn't become awesome when he fot injured, numbnuts. He is the reason we don't make errors at the back. In similar way that Steve Davies makes us tick offensively.

You forgot Gareth Bale, on Sports Personality tonight, up for top award.

Sorry to say, actually he is. However well we may have played against Burnley, Man U and Arsenal without him the fact is we lost all three. We would not have lost all three if Morgan had been playing. I want to say FACT but of course it isn't, but that is how it would have been. He will be off in the Summer, unless we qualify to the CL, which is sadly looking less likely because the Board could not see beyond the 1st XI and like the Happy Clappers on here could not see what was staring them in the face in the summer, this year, same as the last year.

Booked mine, easy peasy. Didn't even realise that daughter's ticket would only be a fiver (under 21) even though she is now nearer 22. Can't be bad.

Hope FF was watching a goalkeeping master class (not a criticism of yesterday, that was an unlucky deflection)

Playing with no strikers against a **** defence, I suspect Rodgers is just being his usual clueless self. Lucky Man U looking to benefit again by opponents not exploiting their weakness.

We did make a move for him in the summer. Sounds like he may be off to Ajax (which seems a bit odd).

Your point is confused, it is you that is simple.

You may be surprised to learn that others live or work in said unapproved area. You are not the only one to have crossed to the dark side. Must admit though the postulation that Koeman's job may be at risk is a bit off the wall, that would require the intervention of a somewhat more ruthless board than we currently have, can't see Ralph making any decision of that type, ever. In any case if there is one thing that is good, it is Ronald, I think he may well turn out to be our best manager since Lawrie Mac, if the Board will back him with some serious investment in January and next summer to build a squad with enough depth to seriously challenge.

Well for a start he's not fit. But as we have so few options (because the board cocked up in the summer with not enough signings) we have little option but to play him. Long is also not fully fit, hence why he is not playing 90 minutes. Mane is complete turd. Without Morgan we are very average and we have a dodgy keeper. Other than that everything is fine. The Happy Clappers have been telling us all season so it must be true.

Bloody hell, have we missed you. Its been quite good for a while on here, but football goes bad and you come back to make life even more cheery.

Not true, plenty of good goals that could not be prevented. We have gone from a team that makes very few mistakes to one that is making very simple mistakes regularly

Very much doubt he would risk him against Sheff Utd, unless he has to. But will be good to have him back for Everton.
