SuperSAINT

JWP on for Tadic

Slick little move that was!!! Get in!!

Great goal. Slick little move. Please see this game out Saints!!

Bloody hell, our crossing / long diagonals have been a 'mare today!

Austin / Tadic / Redmond not getting enough touch's so far.

Bit dis-jointed and Fonte slightly "50p head".

Passing has been quite slack so far.

It's strange to think they are struggling when they have Antonio / Lanzini / Payet supporting the striker. Should be able to cause anyone problems with that lot.

Instead of wanting Moyes out, the Sunderland fans better pray that Defoe doesn't pick up a long injury or they are screwed.

If we can boss possession early, the natives will likely start punching each other around the 10 minute mark.

Everton.

Oh no! - Lets hope the other strikers don't get injured in the meantime. Thanks for the write-up Bats. Literally just logged on to find out what's been said and you've nailed it in 1 post for me.

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport Am told by non-club source Jay Rodriguez in Germany having possible groin/hernia op - couple of weeks they think but not gospel #saintsfc

West Ham on Sunday is going to be an interesting test. They have been frail at the back, but they still have some very talented players who can give us problems.

I was about to jump on that and say that can't be right, but I'm surprised to find that it's actually true. I'd imagine he's next on the list.

Nothing would please me more than for Austin to score the winner up there. I'm not sure why they are struggling this season, but I've been curious to see how the diamond works against a lesser team away. (Lesser, meaning not Man Utd or Arsenal).

Everton will def bid for him. Would love to see him back here, but it's not really our style to bring them back.

It'll be something like post #119

So it's: -----------McCarthy---------- Martina Fonte Yoshida Targett -------------Reed------------ ---------Clasie---JWP-------- -----------Hesketh----------- ---------Long Austin---------

Hope Jay isnt out injured for long. Suddenly having 3 strikers for 2 positions limits our rotation options (unless we plan to use Boufal up there).

*Romeu Thread Bump* I think he's done better lately (perhaps Europa 1st half aside). Will be interesting if a new contract gets offered or signed soon as I think he only had 18 months to run at Christmas.

Would be a bit of a step down... But scouting 6-21 year old players must be a pretty cool job, trying to find the next superstars.

What's Malcom Elias up to these days?

Thanks. Surprisingly strong team from them.

Watching the highlights. We look pretty slick. Adding Boufal into the mix is going to unlock some defences.
