Manuel

To be honest, we need a box player. We have everything except a box player.

Fingers crossed, if he's good with his head it's a good start.

And tried to bring down the Government (Les?).

Would have a fit Austin over Gabbi in a second. Gabbi either doesn't fit our style or just isn't as good as we were expecting. Can't see our style of play changing any time soon so I think we may have to accept that we backed the wrong horse. We need an Austin copy - someone like Giroud.

If we were halfway up the league and we had enough guts I think Giroud would have been a possibility. The best striker I've seen at St Mary's this season.

Rainy weather often causes slow internet. Probably 3:15.

Urrgh, I've already told everyone in my street. They're not keen on the loudhailer as it is.

Agree with this. Have always thought it plays into the hands of the wealthier clubs more, especially the top 4 who have the capability to throw serious money at a problem if they find themselves a few places off where they think they should be. Let them deal with their shoddy decisions like everyone else has to.

Currently W4, D10, L10. Pretty poor but if just two of those draws had been wins we'd be 10th now on 26 points. Small margins.

He has pace and is good in the air too, two attributes we're a bit short of right now.

The kid has a bit of pace though, and there were a few occasions today when that pace could have paid dividends. I thought it was worth a shout.

Hoj off because he looks tired - personally I think he always runs like that.

Dier, what a whinger.

Dembele allowed to fowl players all afternoon it seems.

Yeah 50/50

Agree with most of that, but defensively we have regressed.

Looking at the bench I think only Boufal could improve things later on. Expect Tadic to start blowing heavily at about 70mins.

I've said it all season - we win practically nothing in the air.

My biggest criticism of this manager.

Tadic and Bertrand on the same wavelength - more than Redmond.

Gabbi looking rusty.

After 12 seconds ...!

Long on Gabbi's shoulders?

Makes sense to go for something more defensive following the away debacle.
