5 ****ing minutes hold on lads

Sam McQueen for an injured Cedric big few minutes for the lad.

Austin for Long #givingitago

Get the **** in wtf

The goal seems to have knocked the stuffing out of us we are making mistakes all over the place now that we weren't in the 1st half.

Hoj coming off for Boufal that's pretty ballsy considering how under the cosh we are.

City are slowly turning the screw.

Redmond off any other ****er on.

I had this whole game down as damage limitation if I'm honest.

We'll at least we lasted 45 minutes..

Made to half time well done lads I was fearing a bit of a thrashing but we've held our own for the the first 45mins

Both our chances fell to CBs which CBs did you want the manager to play instead?

Oooh Yoshi

Lemina struggling with an injury according to the radio

West ham 2 down to Everton bloody hell how bad must West ham be?

**** that was close no way can we keep them out for 90mins

Dave Merrington actually praising the saints manager ?

Every time we have corner city looking like scoring

Saints going early with balls no ****ing around tonight we are actually putting some pressure on them ?

I think the told you so card is a bit moot up against a side that has won 12 on the bounce, with arguably the worlds best manager and one of the most expensive squads in the world.

He also isn't much use on the counter due to a lack of pace. At home where we control games better and often have more possession I'd happily play Austin. Away at city though I doubt he'd get to touch the ball. Personally I'd have Gabbi more pacy than Austin and a better finisher than Long.

I like Austin but he is about as much use as a chocolate teapot away from home trying to play on the counter. Same goes for Tadic. While JWP is no where near as good as Lemina or Romeu and on Sundays showing Hoj is more deserving of a start. It's pretty clear if we tried to play like we did Sunday city would destroy us this team is about our best chance of getting a result though I'd have had Gabbi over Long.

No **** I doubt any team or formation we play would get us a win against this man city side at home.

No. big Sam said himself he had no interest in another PL job Alladyce Statement “I have no ambitions to take another job”. “I want to be able to savour life while I am still relatively young, and when I am still relatively healthy enough to do all the things I want to do, like travel, spend more time with my family and grandchildren without the huge pressure that comes with being a football manager. “This is the right time for me. I simply want to be able to enjoy all the things you cannot really enjoy with the 24/7 demands of managing any football club, let alone one in the Premier League.” It was all in the article I linked to at the time...i guess he found 6 million reasons to change his mind.
