Will be interesting to see if it causes them problems or not. Wins against Liverpool & Arsenal & the draw with Leicester have been remarkable really.

Good job they signed Ayew then.

So do I. He still looks pretty scrawny to me for a centre-back.

Because we live in the South

Yeah, he hasn't struck me as the big commanding aerial presence I expected.

Did really well to get his effort on target in the 1st half. Really good save from Foster.

Stoke are 50-50. They've got the players to go on a run.

Had we of beaten Brighton & drawn to WBA, it would have felt slightly better, but 4 pts is 4pts! We still have some b*stard fixtures still to come though.

We would lose so many players. I'd dread to think how many.

He's a good manager. He's played the Sturridge roulette though.

Probably best in a '3' at the back.

Always time for a Frank Dux gif!

Depends which Liverpool turn up for us to have any chance.

Exactly. Target-men can make an impact without scoring goals.

VvD will be a monster threat from set-pieces.

Credit where it's due today. WBA sounded poor, but we can only play whats in front of us. A minor miracle neither Sturridge/J-Rod scored against us. So happy to win. Almost forgotten what a weekend league win feels like.

He wins headers. That makes him better than most of our strikers. Will give him the benefit of the doubt as it can't be easy adjusting.

We absolutely need "cr*p Liverpool" to turn up.

We need another one!

Works for us every time.

He took a couple of batterings too.

Well done Saints. Now we're in our patented position to Short ourselves in the foot. Rodriguez to nail is 2nd half.

Don't need a central defender they said.

Where's the post-match meltdown thread?

@AdamBlackmore: Here is how I see it today for #saintsfc and Pellegrino: Win & he keeps his job Lose & take only 1pt from Brighton & WBA, his position is untenable. Draw and the board have a decision to make that must already be in their minds, and planned for, you would hope.
