There is something to be said for his impact as a sub when we need to score.
I was thinking this morning before I read your post that if he starts, MP will probably have him pinned back on half-way.
Yeah, he's out for a bit longer yet. Palace have some tough b*stard fixtures in the next few, but then they end by playing all of the bottom half sides, so I think they will be fine.
I think we all agree it's ludicrously massive, so I wanted to take look at our recent home results in the league to see exactly how we have done. Below are our home results from those games going back to December:
Southampton 1 - 1 Arsenal
Southampton 1 - 4 Leicester
Southampton 1 - 1 Huddersfield
Southampton 1 - 2 Palace
Southampton 1 - 1 Spurs
Southampton 1 - 1 Brighton
Southampton 0 - 2 Liverpool
- Not much of a shocker to say we aren't exactly dynamite in front of goal @ St Marys.
- Arsenal was probably our best all over performance that I can remember.
- You could take a fair few 45 mins from that to create a 'worst half of the season' contenders too.
