for_heaven's_Saint

Caught 3! Anyone else want to bite? I thought the capitals would make it obvious I was taking the p!ss!

MUST WIN.

I think Long does exactly what we would expect from him. Mane on the other hand offers very little and consistently makes poor decisions. As much as I dislike him for his comments when he left? We could really do with Lallana at the moment!

We could really do with someone in the mould of Moussa Sissoko IMO.

The echo made me lol today. Front page: 'Are thieves targeting Saints players?' And back page 'Jack Cork out for 6 weeks'. Poor Cork's bound to get burgled if he's out for that long!

Bad news. Good news.

Fwiw I thought Long was outstanding last night. Never stopped running and looked exhausted when he came off. He's got to play against the big teams just for his work ethic.

Definitely missing JWP in that department. Davis is our next best option though for sure.

Thing is though, on Monday he came steaming out and cost us a goal. Yesterday he decided against it and saved an almost certain goal. We can't really complain that he learnt from his mistake.

Would take a draw if you offered it to me now! This is a real test of the team's character.

But naive towards the end. Still, a win against Arsenal and all will be forgotten.

2nd to every loose ball and lots of poor passes and touches. You can't do that against teams like City unfortunately. Oh well, on to Arsenal

Yup.

That made me happy.

I think we probably all agree that either Cork or Davis should come in for Mane or Long and revert to the shape that has served us so well so far. Main question is, which one comes in and which goes out. If Davis is fit, I think it's got to be him and in this game I would start Long (offers more defensively) with Mane as an impact sub. Forster, Clyne Fonte Alderweireld Bertrand, Wanyama Schniederlin Davis, Long Pelle Tadic

And because you're an Arsenal fan?

Great effort. Gutted I can't make it.

Plays best with a slice of lime down his throat.

Lol. 1 bad game and he's a terrible signing. I guess you didn't see him score the only goal against Stoke? Yes he has missed a couple of chances but to compare him to Ali Dia is just ridiculous. FWIW I don't think playing him, Long and Tadic is going to work. We need one of Long or Mane on the bench to change things up.

Let's hope Davis is back.

We're 8 points above 5th place FFS. An away draw in the premier league is never a terrible result.

:lol:

That'll do. Pelle was anonymous, Tadic and Mane poor. Not a decent cross in sight today, and I wish we could actually threaten from a corner.

Come on Saints! You can beat this ****!

Something's got to change at HT. I trust Ronald to know what.
