Saint Charlie

Would be nice to see Ramirez and Juanmi start.

Van Dijkstra's header in the first half was a great chance, he looks a threat from every set play.

Good point, good performance although with better final passes a win was there for us. Clasie pretty good, Van Dijk outstanding again and Ramirez was good when he came on, excellent technique and on that form we should look to actually use him. Cedric has had good games away to Chelsea and Liverpool which is pleasing. Proper GK makes such a difference too. Mane sending off silly but back for Bournemouth. If no Jay Rod then it gives Juanmi or Ramirez a start on Weds.

Probably should have left him on.

Sometimes we rush too much in the final third. There is more time for players to show some composure and get the ball down.

Thats a great header.

JWP playing behind Pelle in a 4-4-1-1 isn't the most creative.

Hope it doesn't result in us just falling deeper.

Clasie doing well.

Sometimes we go a bit too direct, and could play through midfield more. But generally good today.

Wanyama's ankle isnt right. Same injury as vs Leicester.

Playing well. Mane is the key, get him in good areas and he will produce something.

Long average in that be has done pretty much what he has at every club. Given the choice again I am sure Saints would spend that money elsewhere! Certainly cannot be described as a success with any credibility.

Anyone who is nervous because Clasie is playing must have literaly shat themselves seeing Kelvin on the sheet last week. Koeman knows what he is doing. Biggest shame is having to wear that vile green kit!

Good lineup from us. If we play well then no reason we can't get something. Shame not to have Jay Rod or Long on the bench.

Both longer than Tiote. He must have been 1/10 for first yellow.

Probably not, no. Kevin MacDonald will be in charge for that. Will be interesting what team they select. With Sherwood they would surely have gone strong as he couldn't afford another loss. Now they may just prioritise the league game next weekend.

Sherwood fired then.

I'm sure Wanyama for one was livid with Lallana's attitude.

Finding it harder than having Lallana, Lambert, Schneiderlin, Chamberlain and Fonte as the main body of a L1 team!

West Ham having a good season. Clever recruitment off the back of being able to draw players with location, new stadium and presumably good money. Shame their owners are a pair of Jokers.

Cheers for the report. Saw yesterday that Marcus Barnes the U21 striker has been ruled out through injury for the rest of the season which is a shame as he had looked good so far this season. Haven't seen Olomola live but from the clips he looks an awkward player to face, quick, strong and direct. Hopefully he can kick on.

Yeah I was just saying it would be annoying if he was out and he wasnt in the other pics etc but obviously looks fine so all good, he is a very important player - especially in these type of games. Didn't watch those other clips the person referred to.

Good spot. Hopefully he just has a knock and will be fine for Sunday, otherwise a big blow. He did struggle with some kind of injury during the Leicester game.
