Good banter that our squad have accepted VVD fate.

He's better than anything we have to offer in midfield BUT he made it clear his future wasn't here. He will end up at Everton and hopefully flop while Koeman is there.

£10m for Bertrand was good business for them (and us) considering he was never going to get in their side. Not sure how much Romeu cost us, can't imagine it was much though?

Didn't see that one coming....

Agree with this but this is what happens when players are linked with a move away, suddenly they're viewed as overrated. Fonte has been in fine form since giving that penalty away at Arsenal and is still better than Yoshida.

I've never been confident with Tadic standing over the penalties.

We were incredible in that second half. Kudos to Puel for the Davis sub, he was fantastic and the midfield looked a lot better with him there, Hojberg was a completely different player in that second half. Even without the goals Jay Rod was having a good game, making smart runs and just being a pain for the Bournemouth back line while linking up well with the wide men. MOTM.

Jay Rod has been absolutely superb this second half.

JAY

Redmond taking too many touches like always.

Surprised Hojbjerg has stayed on.

Less of that Boufal.

Redmond fluffs his lines.

Hojbjerg's going to cost us another goal here.

Great finish Bertrand.

Abysmal start from us.

Wasn't his fault Hojbjerg fell asleep.

****ing **** from PEH.

3 CMs that bring nothing to attacks.

Blackmore on twitter... Claude Puel & Jose Fonte having a lengthy animated discussion pitchside here -team news shortly....#afcb v #saintsfc The pitch side manager-captain discussion has just ended. Was a good 10 mins or so... #saintsfc

Disagree. Part of our problem is our three CMs all bring **** all to the table in attacks.

Funny thing is he will probably get a good reception when he returns to St. Mary's despite this. He deserves as much abuse as Lovren.

Still on the fence.

Boufal put it on a plate for Rodriguez, creating a far easier chance.

Only got ourselves to blame for not winning that. I'd of taken a point before hand but it does feel like a pretty crap result at the moment. All fart no ****. Rodriguez's miss is worse than Sundays one.
