Saintsplayer not working either.

Wonder how we'll do with set pieces today.

Shame Diallo misses out - but I suppose it was always going to happen. Wonder if we'll still see fast progression through midfield or if we'll be back to plod-plod-plod? Why not a natural LB in the LB position? This could see us slowing down play too much.

Is it possible that we're starting to get some things right in our development squads? #Ralphiesplaybook ?

Said it in the summer and am even more certain now: the money we'd get for him is more important than his football abilities. Get £60m and invest it well. I am hoping he doesn't get picked this weekend. Why upset an improving and more dynamic midfield?

Check.

He's showing more flexibility in tactics, we've got more squad options than before and the team are looking a tougher outfit. He does make the odd strange decision, but show me a Saints manager that didn't. He's good for us. We'll be fine this season.

Great team performance. I think we saw that: Lyanco is pretty damn good. Quick too Forster bis better than MaCarthy We're more dynamic and attack-minded without JWP Dare I suggest Diallo is a better player?

Great performance, whatever happens in the shootout. Superb Saints.

Not the most inspiring subs. That said; Tella rusty and Adams taken a knock.

How good are we looking tonight? Excellent stuff at times.

Looks good.

Valery in a back 3, with KWP and JennyPo as wingbacks? Surely not.

Is this really a fact? Genuine question.

Really don't want Howe. Kudos to the OP for sharing the info he had though. And just how dumbstruck will we all be if it turns out to be true!?

You copying my homework?

Like to see Stu on in the next 10 minutes to help keep the momentum up.

Some excellent attacking play in the last 15 minutes. Exciting. Swashbuckling even. A couple of shocking misses, but nice to see how we're moving the ball so much quicker. Really looking forward to the second half (when did I last experience that?!)

Ha. My stream is behind. Surely we push on and win this now.

Entertaining this.

Oh god.

Arse.

Strange having Walcott in for this. I'd have thought we'd see more of the ball, with Burnley sitting back - hence need someone with a few tricks like Moussa to help unlock things. Ralphy see's them in training every day I guess, so in him we trust. And idea what he's wearing today?

JennyPo and Perraud on the left, Broja upfront please. I know Mossa can be hit and miss, but he's forming a decent partnership with Perraud, and his unpredictability plus the Frenchman's crossing could be vital. So, unchanged from last time out. 3-0 Saints.

Will make all the difference to their signing of Kylian Mbappé in January. I believe their is an interview from him somewhere, stating his admiration of Eddie.
