Baird of the land

As long as its treated consistently. You know there will be a similar soft one given in another game and they'll justify by saying its not a clear and obvious error.

Frustrating not to be in the lead after being the better team, yet but for Romeu wonder tackle we'd be behind As for the penalty, i don't see how that was a clear and obvious error even if it was soft. Freekick, does seem clear cut that ref hadn't blown. not sure why he hadn't though. Hopefully take off the struggling redmond for Ings soon.

Disappointed to see ings on bench. Good to see Tella getting a starting chance. Fingers crossed he can make the most of it.

Bednarek was terrible at right back on Saturday.

My guess Gunn will stay as backup unless we can sell him. We don't want to be spending money in that position. I hope we don't sell Vestergaard but i do wonder if the club will decide to sell a CB to fund fullback priorities.

Mccarthy Stephens Vest Salisu Bertrand Romeu JWP Redmond Armstrong Adams Ings

Yeah i think you have to keep Vest in because on top of his defending he offers more going forward.

Curious to see what Ralph does once all are fit again as Bednarek has always been his go to centre back.

Good point and decent performance. Shame vestergaard's header didn't go in. Hopefully we can build on that midweek. Thought Salisu, Vestergaard and Djenepo all played well Nice to see Mccarthy pulling off a decent save even if it did end up being called offside

Thought the Werner challenge was the one that looked very bad. Like to hear what the justification because it seemed very high and studs up.

Minamino carrying on from the last game in his uselessness

Really that lineup looks atrocious. Back to the times of looking at the team and wondering who's playing where out of position.

No i'm just thoroughly depressed we're likely going end up in the bottom half when top 8 looked an achievable goal relatively recently. Fingers crossed we can somehow turn up in the remaining cup games.

Forster (No matter the opposition he's clearly more confident off the back of a series of cleansheets so perhaps worth a roll of the dice) Stephens Bednarek Vestergaard Bertrand Romeu JWP Armstrong Redmond Adams Ings

Play Stephens there

What an embarassing 2nd half display by Saints, coupled with the fact we didn't take advantage of complete dominance in the first half.

Saints haven't turned up 2nd half

Saints haven't come out of the dressing room yet

That's my worry, need to capitalise more when we are on top so much.

Yeah to me it was fantastic skill but then he held onto it for too long rather than playing through ball to Minamino and ended up having to play backwards.

I disagree, trump was done and gone as a loser. Instead the dems handed him a victory parade.

Hopefully the Democrats stupid decision to try and impeach doesn’t end up haunting them.

Hopefully Vestergaard comes back in.

Nice draw. Hopefully Everton and Leicester can knock out the Manchester teams.

Nice to get back to winning ways. Hope we can repeat the feat at the weekend. you can definitely tell why the club bought salisu. He’s very much a work in progress in terms of his all round play but in the long term will hopefully offer a bit more pace at cb. nice to get a var decision go for us. nice to see Tella back from injury with a bright cameo. not a fan of Redmond as a striker.
