Hate to see McCarthy chesting the ball like that infront of his own goal, completely unnecessarily.

I like Pied, so much energy but he seems a little hot-headed and prone to error.

Don't see Romeu did much wrong there

I reckon they're growing some new prodigies in those furrows.

Pied very determined.

Lay all your sins on VVD and cast him to the wilderness (The North).

A lot of money on that bench!

I thought Hoedt has looked pretty good up to now.

Ha ha, quite a few then.

Ahh, yes of course.

Has anybody left us and rejoined before? I can't think of anyone. Also, I wonder if Saints would get a sell-on fee.

For me the best chance is with Gabbi and Boufal both starting.

Rubbish.

Good 0-0 win. Especially nice as we didn't park the bus, came to play and had probably as many chances.

Might be a smart move. The manager makes the decisions and Kelvin offers support but no interference. Does his job, upsets nobody, loyal, useful...

If we played like we did against City and Arsenal we might get something, but we don't have the players available that we did then. Maybe Boufal might get one, otherwise I can see a clean sheet for them plus however many they head in.

Not for me. We need a big unit who's good in the air, not another shorty.

Wasn't he dull as dishwater at Manure though? Seem to remember a bit of a goal drought.

I was going to say Tadic but I worry if I got close to him he'd fall over.

Ha ha, that's the only one which seems to work for us. We should scout their scout.

Give it to the Chinaman.

Would love to have a stab at getting Giroud here, but fear it's a pipe dream. And he's crocked again.

Good. He wasn't worth all the negativity surrounding him in the end. Get him out.
