Lambert certainly needs a rest, ideal time as well with the cup game next Saturday. It's anybody's guess what's going on with Osvaldo. Think it'll be another defeat. Nothing to lose so I'd give Ramirez a start.Plenty of positives though as there winnable games to come over January and February, plus most of our first team players returning.Think we will stay around 9th/10th for the rest of the season

Looks like it's not going to be our day, unless Gaston decides to do something for a change

Much better looking line up. Biggest news is Jagielka missing, never rated Alcaraz. We should be looking to get at them early

Don't have much of a problem with them, but don't believe all the we have no money for transfers bull**** that they come out with every season. They've spent plenty of money on transfers over the last few seasons, just not as much as the top 6 teams

Another tough game, but Everton are far from invincible despite their recent form. They've picked up a few suspensions and I've got a sneaky feeling that with J-Rod on fire, Lambo back amongst the goals recently and possible return of Osvaldo we will win 3-2 (Lukaku 14, Osman 31, Rodriguez 26, Lambert 53, Osvaldo 87)

Rodriguez has his chance and didn't take it. It gives Roy a good enough excuse not to take him, even if he scores 15-20 goals I can't see it happening. Right now Lallana is 75/25 to go and Ricke 50/50

Incredible. Do we need one more to make this safe?

J Rod has been immense since his England debut, shows his determination to prove himself

With that defence you' ve got to be worried, we're hardly prolific in front of goal. Big performance due from Rickie

Another defeat beckons

Cardiff win available at 11/5. Certainly wouldn't be touching us at 5/4, far too short. Difficult game to call, will be nervously waiting on team news. Even if Davis is available, not sure MP will drop Gazzaniga

Would prefer Griezmann if we sign anyone from Sociedad

Sorry, 5 points

Cardiff 1-1 Draw Everton 3-1 lose Chelsea 2-0 lose Burnley 2-1 win Wba 4-1 win Sunderland 2-1 lose Arsenal 1-1 draw 8 points. A few winnable games to come in february. I have no doubt we will be fine once a few of our first team players return

What's up with Osvaldo, is he available?

He's certainly not on his game, but he can turn it around. His miss near the end was not 'woeful', it came at him quick and certainly wasn't an easy shot to control

Just praying there are a few players back for this, would hope to see Clyne, Shaw and Fonte at least return to the starting line up. By the way, where was Osvaldo yesterday? Didn't see him mentioned anywhere, usually a thread criticising him escalates after a defeat even when he doesn't play! Looking forward to this game, but really need to get our season back on track

It's been highlighted by a few of us already, but we are still way, way off getting to the 'next level', and for anyone who can't see that it was made painfully obvious yesterday. Until we sign another 4/5 players like Lovren, Wanyama etc. it will be nearly impossible to break into the top 6/7. The transfer window has suddenly become a lot more important than it was a month ago

We were poor, I expected nothing less. Am I worried? Not on the slightest. We know we have no good defensive back up, it highlights how far we are off 'the next level'. Boruc, Shaw and Clyne can't come back soon enough. Also, note to Roy Hodgson, book a plane ticket for Lallana to Brazil, you'd be stupid not to

Very easy mate, was 2/1 on skybet. However you look at it they're overpriced

Wow, shocking line up, it's like we've gone back in time a year. Heavy defeat todau, Saints 0-3 Spurs

Price is already coming in on MP, although you get a lot of market movers in these next manager markets

The thing is it's just too expensive. I try to do 2 or 3 games a season but it ends up as a £100 day. On a weekend or a weekday for that matter, Saints are usually on my mind and a result can make or break my weekend. I sometimes watch the streams, there are a lot of good quality ones available these days for free. Sadly the reality is that a lot of people and doing this instead of going to games, myself included

Think this could be a draw, which would be a decent result. Going to go for a 2-2 draw, Remy and Gouffran for Newcastle, Rodriguez and Osvaldo for Saints

Think we all owe him an apology, really wasn't expecting him to tip us to win this weekend
