Sheaf Saint

I'm with you mate. I was already raising my hands to bury my head in them before the ball even got played in to Long. He lost both Lovren and Fonte far too easily and ran into the box completely unmarked. All he had to do was guide it one side of Boruc or the other. While I'm not denying the quality of the save, he was helped by the fact that Long made a complete mess of the easiest scoring opportunity he will ever get in a PL game. Heart-in-mouth moment for every Saints fan watching I reckon.

I can see why some thought his booking of Lovren was slightly harsh, and I also think he was very lenient with Olsson when he cynically hacked down Lallana with a late, high challenge to prevent him from breaking clean away towards goal, because on another day a different referee might well have sent him off for it. Other than that he was alright. He didn't really have any big calls to make as there were no penalty appeals of any kind.

If you can't debate reasonably and can't address the questions I raise then you simply resort to sneering and childish insults. Do you actually realise what a pathetic excuse for a human being that makes you look?

FWIW I agree with him. Looks like he was trying to hook it 180 degrees for Lambert to run on to.

Nervy last few minutes. WBA went balls out to get an equaliser at the end and but for Boruc they would have got one. Other than that they didn't really threaten our defence, so a draw would not have reflected the overall play. Pleased we won, obviously. Pleased we kept a clean sheet, although it didn't really look like WBA would create anything. But aside from that, we really do need to sort out our attacking options when teams come to park the bus like they did today. Our final balls were very poor today, and we don't seem to have anybody who can hit a cross as speed instead of just lofting them tamely into the box for the opposition defenders to deal with easily. MOTM - Boruc for the last-ditch save which ensured the win. Great to see him back at last.

Aaaaaaaand...... breathe!

Never a foul. If they score now I'll be fuming!

Guly on for J-Rod

He just saved a certain goal!

JWP on for Lallana.

Lallana flicked the ball over Olsen to break clean away and he hacked him down with a high, late and cynical challenge. He was lucky he only got a yellow.

F*ck me that should have been red.

We saw him do similar in the Villa game last season so we know he's got it in him. I really hope he can find some consistency because that sort of creativity is what we bought him for and what has been been lacking so often this season.

At last! Adam you fricking beauty!!!!!!!!!

What the buggering hell has Gaston done to his hair!?

Gaston coming on. Cork off.

Apparently neither team has ever won a PL game with Howard Webb in charge. Dead cert draw then.

Apparently not. J-Rod skies it over from a decent position.

Rickie goes for a spectacular volley and blasts it way over.

We're definitely winning the midfield battle so far. Just need to do more with it up front.

FK in a decent position. Don't waste it Saints.

I do rate him but he has looked too casual at times today and given the ball away cheaply a few times. Not at his best.

West Brom there for the taking. Just got to make sure we capitalise.

15 mins gone and only 14 posts on the match thread? Where the hell is everyone today?
