What a load of tosh

What a load of tosh

I will get stick for this but I still maintain punch could have been a huge part of this team he offered something different can't believe we loaned him and kept some of the dead wood here

I think we could well be stuck with Gaston cortese doesn't seem to be a man that would admit it hasn't worked out and that bringing him to the club was a mistake

You have to question things when our two most expensive signings aren't good enough for the starting eleven (admittedly Osvaldo hasn't had enough time yet whereas G.R has)

somehow i don't think its going to be the same uninspired gutless side that turned up at sham united! they will be firing on all cylinders! i would bite your arm off for a draw! COYR

Agreed thats much more realistic personally i would be ecstatic with with 6th place! and happy anywhere in the top ten. Possibly the season could now be seen as a failure if we don't finish in the top ten? not sure how cortese would react.

Its pretty embarrassing to see people thinking we are going to win the league, we are not even half way through the season we have proved nothing unless we can continue till the end of the season. Granted we are doing better than we could ever hope for at the moment

Agree lallana has the talent but till this season he has been far too lightweight on the ball! MP seems to have installed some strength and determination in him, on his day as proved by today he can be unplayable if your a defender!

If we can keep this up for the rest of the season then i will be hugely impressed!! its a shame that should we have any injuries to key players we don't have the right quality of backup, maybe january will sort that but i can't see more money being spent, more likely to swap gaston for a player that suits us better! COYS!!!!

great performance overall! bad gaff by wanyama but these things happen he will give away a few from his casual style but overall he's been a success

How us he good for our club/team? We look worse when he plays

Hopefully he learnt that Ramirez is a lightweight lazy player that has skill but rarely uses it and isn't a player that belongs in the premiership at least not at saints

poch even smiling like he's happy to be out

too little way too late!

may be only the cup but bloody poor show from us!

and thats the nail in the coffin!

bloody hope so surely everyone has run out of patience now

Gaston subbed can we finally lay it to rest now that he's simply not good enough for the premiership for whatever reason

gaston has done sweet FA second half he may as well not be there!

its almost as if we aren't too fussed about the cup with the team selection. I guess the league is what Poch wants to concentrate on

sunderland bundled it across the line from a good initial save

absolutely gutless up front!

tbf sunderland have deserved that slightly the better team in a dire match

he's done a few good passes and flicks but thats about it from what I'm watching
