Junior Mullet

That David Silva bloke has done alright for someone not really suited to the tough tackling nature of the English game. The odd injury aside of course.

The club will demand a decent transfer fee if he goes this Summer. If nobody is prepared to pay that price, we will have a forward line of Pelle, Long, J Rod and Austin to mount our title challenge next season. I'm delighted the club have managed to engineer this position.

Schneiderlin took time to develop. I can't help but think of him when I see the mixed reviews of JWP.

No this forum hasn't lost it. Fact is, Saints are currently serving up poor dishes. It may be down to the Head Chef. Head Chef might blame the owner for giving him cheap ingredients. Perhaps the ingredients themselves need a bit of a talking to.

Really? I can see Leicester holding on. Only an injury to Vardy or Mahrez would set them back massively.

I'd argue Payet has been better for West Ham than Schneiderlin. I'd say the same for Cabaye at Palace.

Nope. Plenty of really good PL signings this year and he's not top of that list. As others have said, Toby to Spurs was a better signing for starters. Virgil catches the eye because he attacks the ball, he's a big lad and is a real threat from set-pieces. However, his positional sense needs quite a lot of work and in particular his eagerness to attack the ball out of position can leave holes and force other players out of position. By contrast, Toby last year didn't catch the eye quite so much but his positional play was superb and his calmness helped the defence operate well as a unit. The best defences work as a unit. I'm sure the coaches will work on this with him. It also can't help that we don't have a regular RB and with Font's recent injury things have been unsettled.

Did you see him last night in the first half, down by the left back corner flag. He won the ball in a tackle, had no easy options on and so just kicked it out for a throw to Liverpool. He could have at least tried to knock it out off of the Liverpool player's shins. It was hardly a dangerous position to give the ball away if that didn't work. It was one of the weirdest and most submissive things I've seen at a football match in ages. He simply didn't back himself to get out of a tight spot. It was so poor I checked it on the highlights when I got home - sure enough he just passed it out of play.

OK, perhaps my mention of plaudits was unnecessary. But aside from that one sentence, do you disagree with the more important points that I've raised? I never said the club is going to **** and a disaster zone. I was actually making comments about our football.

The style and pattern of play that Adkins begun to develop and which Potchettino took to the next level has slowly diminished since RK took over. The pressing game with quick fluid passes has all but fizzled out. Our build up is slow and predictable. We no longer get plaudits for the way we play. Last night Liverpool played the press to perfection, their shape was perfect and they were a lot tougher and more aggressive than us. It was no coincidence that balls seemed to always fall to their players. As soon as we went to 3 at the back after half time players looked confused. They didn't seem to know where they were supposed to be or where their team mates were.

It might depend on whether Pelle wants out in the Summer.

2-1 Saints. VVD and Davis with our goals. I can see this being quite a fiery match.

We need a new first choice right back. Clearly Koeman has his reservations with Cedric. We need someone who can hold the position down the way Bertrand does at LB and Clyne did last season. Batman is not a penis for starting this thread. Could Janmaat do a job for us when Newcastle are relegated?

Hmmmmmmm that's interesting.

The Premier League is a worldwide product. That is why they are doing this. I agree, it seems weird and over the top to most of us but it's not meant for us. It's directed at the rest of the world.

At half time, why not get a couple of local kids teams to play a quick game 7-a side . Maybe once a month present a local with an award to thank them for community work or similar.

I hope he gets a really bad injury so that we don't sell him.

In a team full of MOTM performances I gave my MOTM to Pelle. It was as faultless a performance from a target man you will ever see. Mane catches the eye but Pelle was just perfect.

I played badminton with her a few years back. She's in great shape but has a potty mouth.

Wishful thinking. No.

We had a great chance last year and we blew it. It'll be a long time before we're top six calibre again, but I think that has more to do with the fact that other teams outside of the top six have the ability to spend big now. One of the top six usually drop a bollock in a season and it's up to the chasing pack to take advantage. I can see Spurs being put under pressure to remain top 6 this season. Can Swansea, Stoke or even Leicester take advantage and pip them? For me that'll be one of the exciting features this year.

Chill out ****ers. We'll win in convincing fashion tonight. The first leg was a freak. Pelle will terrorise them.

I'm not sure he'll play J Rod in that way. I wouldn't be surprised if he rotates Pelle and J Rod in the target man position depending on strengths and weaknesses of opposition. Personally I would play him and Pelle together - that front 4 (possibly Juanmi for Tadic depending on form) would score a lot of goals and scare a lot of defences.

Is it not live on Saints YouTube channel?

Stand out players?
