Austin was worth a punt, Caceres was only ever brought in as emergency cover for Stephens, so it was little surprise he didn’t play. I think in Les’ mind JS was the next great youth team success story and a natural replacement for Fonte. I’m more annoyed at selling our captain in January, without actually bringing anyone else in, which lead to us needing Caceres in the first place, as opposed to him as a player. Djuricic and Elia were just that - filler. I don’t feel they really added anything, apart from EE in one game at Newcastle.

If the Sun don't run the headline, 'Jack and the Ben Stokes' I'll be disappointed. Amazing innings.

TBF, when you look at who we've brought in in January since promotion, I'm probably okay with that; Forren, Djuricic, Elia, Carrillo, Austin and Caceres. Only Gabbi really made par. I will forever love him for that day out at Wembley but he didn't really set the league alight.

And again on Kane WTF?!

How was that foul on David Silva anything but a penalty?

I sold Redmond and was trying to decide between Douglas Luiz and Cantwell for the replacement; obviously ended up with the only midfielder who didn't score.

I don’t think we will be buying an 8th CB somehow.

I think Boufal in a nutshell was that run where he beat three men and lost the ball. Benefit of the doubt, he really didn't have much on this time. The problem is a lot of the time when he does that: a) There is a good pass on and he doesn't see it. or b) The second man he tries to beat tackles him and suddenly they've got the ball in our half, with most of our team bombing forward.

I'd take a point but this one is winnable and we haven't done them at St Mary's since Beattie scored the winner in 2003. Not sure about 4-2-2-2, I think we'll get overrun. I'd bring in Bertrand and Armstrong for Adams and Vest and try a 4-2-3-1.

Better team first half in the other two games and got no points. Just football, I'll take them as they come. Man Utd though, that's funny.

Get F**king In There!

Yes!

I never get these daft, ‘take one for the team’ bookings when there is still half the team for their player to get through. Hoj didn’t need to dive in there at all.

Genius sub.

I'd try Armstrong for JWP personally.

No we didn’t. HTH.

That’s a f**king awful!

Everything we’ve seen and heard so far would suggest he is quite raw, so probably - yes.

Because even off form he’s still better than Long or Baffers.

Bright first couple of minutes, decent pressure.

On here please. COYCWYB!

They were a goal down for 80 minutes of that match and he was an unused sub. Doesn’t bode too well.

Because we were crap for 15 minutes away at Burnley?

Everton look nothing special, if we get our arses in gear there’s no reason we can’t compete with them over the course of a season. All three of their fixtures have been easier than either of our two. Waaaaaay too early to be hoping for relegation rivals to start losing.

Everton may have four points on the board but against Watford, Villa and Palace they’ve managed one goal. They’ve looked pretty wasteful tonight and Morgan is a shadow of the player he was here.
