I thought that as well, was mentioned on R5 and put the fans in a really good light

He's miles better than anything we had before, movement, space, passing, looked every bit worth the money. When he gets familiar with Adam, SRL, Maya and Punch what a player he'll be for us

Ramirez, was head ans shoulders above everyone on that pitch today Who's gonna vote for Fox :-)

Considering it was his first real start for us he looked very good, still needs tested against a decent front line though, next week will be a better test for him but very positive start

This is key, we will have bad days this season, more bad than good but we have to stick together, fans and players and learn. Love Nigel and really think he deserves to stay even if we dont stay up

Surely thats it for him now. Please god The whole TEAM looked better when he went off, defensively we were FAR more solid I think the players think he is a defensive liability and they over-react trying to cover for him. Richardson is a solid player in my book and Clyne looked fine at LB Big up too for Yoshida, first full game in the Prem and i thought he looked very good, even made Fonte looked better which is what very good centre backs do

I thought that was brilliant, classy Plus the fact no-one boo'd or anything at half-time. Well done to all there

Fair play to Nige, he had 45 mins to save his job and the players have responded. Now please no more Fox and no more KDavis

The defender looks so much better with Fox not in it, the two CBs look like they actually trust Richardson

If we play like this at home we will be lucky to get the 11 points Derby did. Was the same against Wigan Fear for Adkins if we lose this, players look utterly devoid of confidence

In all honesty Davis has been ****e this season, no two ways about it, lets give the young lad a chance and a fair run in the first team

im more pleased i beat itchen dan on the twitters :-) Agree with the source being as good as horse-s*it but would make sense to at least be looking. Ditto at Silvestre and my Grandad who could do a better job than Fox

#Saintsfc are trying to get Upson into the club, more to follow. @TheFootballScou Anyone else heard this?

I thought the subs bench was lopsided , we had 4 forwards and Richardson. Chaplow should have been a sub instead of Guly. I can see why they took SRL off but not Adam and Punch, but as has been said we dropped deeper and deeper and stopped passing the ball, same as we did against Man City, and tbh we did it last year in games as well

Long term Ramirez will play as one of the three with Ricky, Adam and Punch. Suspect over time he'll replace Punch. JRod should be a CF and Mayu/Lee should back up Adam/Ramirez. Then you have the 4 in Centre Mid (JWP, SD, MS and Cork). Guly and Chaplow will be the odd men out

Still saw a lot of empty seats on the TV?

Though he had his best game for us today, he was immense. Great link up play with Clyne, full of energy, popped up left and right, set up the goals

Cant understand the grief Nige is getting for the subs. Lallana, Punch and SRL ran themselves into the ground the first 70 mins and they were done - sadly Guly is a luxury player who doesn't work hard enough and JRod isnt a winger. Where he got it wrong is not bringing on Lee and Mayu out wide and Jrod up front and told them to chase their tails off closing down At the back Fox was just dreadful all game, in some way responsible for all three goals. He inst up to this standard at all. Fonte did OK for 70 mins and then went into blind panic. Davis i fear for as well, he looks like it's one year too long for him The rest were exceptional esp. Punch and Morgan who i thought had terrific games. If Lallana had his shooting boots on we could have been 3 up

Fox and Fonte are both not premier league players, Fox was AWFUL today, totally at fault for the first and second goals by never closing down fast enough

I'd risk it and play Maya and Punch either side of SRL, with Lee and JRod on the bench. Got to have out balls against MoanU as they'll have 75% posession

Fulham have done some terrific deals, fair play to them

Still think we're desperate for better defenders

St James middle school in west end first :-) anyone go there want a reunion? I went when they were building the M27

Haha me too :-)
