Baird of the land

You are completely wrong. He played several times after that. One appalling game against Leicester doesn't equate to him generally having been poor.

No, burnt his bridges. Wouldn’t want to be his retirement home.

Just hope the weather improves because team has failed to adapt to conditions anytime there's a hint of bad weather.

There's no point to VAR if they aren't able to address inconsistencies. Just get rid of it till unless we get to the point where AI can implement something that is actually consistent in decision making across a season.

VAR continuing to stink up the league I see.

Typical embarrassing naive saints, playing completely into Burnley hands

Would be Very good news but we know like Chelsea they will pay their way to revoking it.

Burnley's a game i wouldn't have a particular issue with Vestergaard coming in for. He is quite useful when teams lump crosses into the box. That said i can't see why we couldn't utilise valery for an hour and then KWP for final 30 (or the other way round)

I'd even prefer Stephens out there in this sort of game. Given valery will have had several weeks of training and a run out in u23, I'd hope he'd be in contention to start.

I actually have the original at home. Not sure why i bought it as its horrid

Thinking that jwp might not be ready if the cut was that bad. Also think against Burnley I'd want a right back who is decent aerially rather than debutting kwp. Rest of the team sort of picks itself imo Also fingers crossed the weather improves. Want no repeat of conditions that clearly suited Burnley in the opening game of the season McCarthy Valery Stephens bednarek Bertrand Romeu hojberg Armstrong Redmond Long ings

At 1-1 i thought it was going to be perfect result for Saints, though at least palace didn't win.

good to see Valery getting a runout. Guessing he needs it after so long out. Hopefully it’ll put him in a situation to be in contention for Burnley game.

Handy to have a little break. A natural right back would be good. Ideally valery but if not kwp.

Feel almost like we lacked belief. Played really well till we actually took the lead and then let spurs off the hook rather meekly. Very annoying long trek home when looked like being a fab trip home based on much of the display.

Curious why spurs pitch has such a sharp incline at the sides.

Boufal deserves a shot after his goal to get us the replay. Pity valery isn't considered ready.

Did he say anything about Valery?

Did very well for u23's as they got promoted, now's done well out on loan. Surely he should at least get a shot at a squad role next season.

Hoping we can get 10 or 11 points from those games.

Thanks for the heads up.

Personally I think it’s more a case of the continual attempts by refs to punish players for trying to stay on their feet and instead reward diving.

And robertson’s Backpass was a backpass picked up on the goal line.

Wonder if Valery will be considered for this game or if we’ll go with jwp again at rightback
