Shame about Toby, I think we need to give McCarty some first team action on Weds as we might need him soon. -----------------------KD------------------------- McCarthy----Fonte-Gardos----Targett --------------Cork-----------------Reed------------- ------------------------Davis-------------------------- Isgrove---------------------------------------Tadic ---------------------------Long---------------------------

No, he's rubbish.

An all-time great Saintsweb post.

If Clyne isn't fit we might see the 352 with JWP as wing-back. Should suit him better than the back 4 RB role he played on Sunday. I would go with: -----------------FF-------------- ------Fonte---TA----Gardos----- NC/JWP------------------Bertrand ------------VW----MS----------- ----------------SD----------------- -----------EE------Pelle--------- Bench: KD, McCarthy, Targett, Reed, Tadic, Long, JWP/Isgrove

If Toby actually wants to join then there's no point Atletico messing around. They can't force him to sign for someone else and who is going to offer silly money if it's public knowledge that they agreed a circa 7million fee with us?

I like him and he adds something to the squad that our other forwards don't but, let's be frank, he's got Jimmy Saville's first touch and he isn't top six quality as a starter.

One thing that has been really annoying me lately is the poor use of "the advantage" by referees. Just because a team retains possession after it has been fouled it does not necessarily have an advantage. Silly refs.

He would be pretty useless in the 433 system we used for the first part of the season but the shape in recent games with a second advanced central player could allow him to shine. Mane's runs + Lambert's passes..... However, I can't see him coming back and I feel Rogers has shafted him to be frank.

I assume Hesketh is injured, which is a shame as I would've liked to see him start this one. Anyway, I would pick Kelvin D McCarthy Fonte Gardos Targett Morgan Reed JWP Tadic Long Seager Subs: FF, Bertrand, Toby, Davis, Pelle, Isgrove, McQueen

I think they should've told the bloke to stop being a plum and left it at that but...... That is a quality video!

None of Brett Easton Ellis' other books come close.

Kachloul, obviously!

No thanks.

Same game. You just don't really know what you're talking about.

Excellent again today. I wasn't enthralled by the prospect of him at right back but he did great. Good player to have.

We've played them all away but none of them at home. Fourth place is ours!

"I'm angry, I thought we had turned a corner at Cheltenham last week with a good performance and good point but we haven't turned up today." So funny on many levels.

Sensible to keep a few out today. Can't expect Long to run himself into the ground twice in three days. Hopefully he can come on for Pelle for the last 40 mins once we're two or three up.

When Schneiderlin leaves he should get more of a chance to play in his natural position IMO.

Thank goodness you are here to clear that up. We all thought it was true.

I am less likely to buy anything from Veho or Garmin if they continue to spoil the half-time fun.

Great win against 12 men. Ref was inept. All credit to Koeman and the centre backs for implementing a new system so well. I said in the build up that we should play a front two with Lon and Pelle. And low, I was correct. Reed looked well up to the task. Yoshida my man of the match but Fonte and Alderweireld deserve great credit too.

Quite. It's been obvious for a while he has been struggling. In Jan we should be looking to sign a creative attacking midfielder. I know Gaston is probably a lost cause in terms of any sort of consistency in the PL but it would've been nice to be able to sub him on for Tadic a few times. That's the sort of player we should be looking for.

I think Tadic has looked knackered since the last international rounds. Left, right, in the hole is irrelevant IMO. Maybe he's been playing through an injury.
