Mr X

just frustrating that they were more than gifted them a goal! but if we can shut up shop you never know!

time for osvaldo to show he can step up to the table I think he can

we need to stick with boroc his confidence will be shot, not a time to drop him

one simple bloody clearance he had two chances to clear and choose not to

boruc is a good keeper but i think you'd struggle to find a worse cock up than that totally his own doing!

worst goalkeeping I've ever seen!!!! still a class keeper though

you would think they would be all the more desperate to prove themselves

dont fancy are chances of an organised defence without lovren, the walls could come crumbling down! but hoiveld will give his all i have no doubt!

And how responsible are they in asessing the suitability of a player to play in the premiership? With overseas players it is always a gamble, who had the final say on whether Gaston and Osvaldo were suited to our style of playing? Would it be more mp's decision or the guvnor or purely scouting reccomendations?

Can't see them getting rid of him till he'd had a season to prove himself its true he hasn't inspired yet but showed a few glimpses give him a full season like Gaston

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
