Baird of the land

That's disgraceful he gets none of the ball. No way that would have been overturned if it was city.

Decent Half. Still think it's probably only a matter of time. Would like to see Tella at some point relatively soon.

On first viewing thought he should have shot and then there's potential for rebound.

Looks like Knee. Let's hope Lyanco can get up to speed quickly in case he's needed.

After watching the highlights, i loved the way Stephens wound up Antonio where they both ended up getting booked.

Personally hope we don't go 5 at the back, that's asking to get a pasting against a team that rarely plays one out and out striker. Some form of 4-5-1/4-1-4-1, with as much pace as possible in the 10's.

I could maybe understand a points deduction/threat of one for the sort of wide scale behavior in Bulgaria game, but in instances where it was so few most didn’t even seem to be aware of it.

Puel was certainly more accepting of the club philosophy whereas koeman was pretty hostile to it. I’m not a puel fan and found his football exceedingly dull but I don’t how that how he went along with carnage. Boufal/gabbiadini as manager influenced buys are nowhere near the level of bad of Pellegrino year.

I do find it nuts that that fifa and uefa can’t co-ordinate at all regarding fan bans. Not a fan of this take a knee rite for evermore approach. the small amount of racist chanting wasn’t inspired by it but by their team getting smashed. Expect it’ll generate stadium ban that should have already been in place.

14th would be my guess too looking at teams in the league. Still hoping we can outperform that though.

Ben White May develop into a very good CB but 50m for someone with promise was a crazy choice imo. Especially as they already have a young cb they spent a bundle on (Saliba) that they seem intent on loaning to France without ever playing. Ramsdale, once again buying promise expensively, when they’ve already got a good first choice. Haven’t seen the Japanese guy so can’t comment if he’s going revolutionize them. Not even sure selling willock to bring in odegaard is that wonderful a deal.

Hopefully it’s not the start of an outbreak

Feel arsenal’s Window has been terrible. Overpaid on players & despite huge spend don’t seem any stronger.

Would have thought Blackburn would have been a better move as Swansea seem a bit of a mess. There were flashes from him but think he needed to leave. If he knuckles down he could do well in the championship.

Yeah, was hoping for a dm. Hopefully Romeu can stay fit, giving time for either someone to come through to compete with him or we can pick up a player in Jan/summer to do so.

On the total saints podcast, think it was Dan Sheldon was saying the club rate academy player Ryan Finnegan highly. Not seen him play myself but if that is true can’t see them wanting to pay to bring in another kid from elsewhere.

Had forgotten he even existed

interesting to hear bIt about perhaps not bringing in another 6, with club rating a young academy kid finnegan highly.

Never really understood the Delaney link. Made zero sense as we've already got a 29 yr old DM.

So hopeless, just set up both our goals. Redmond can be unfuriating but yesterday he had a very positive impact. I expect on the basis of that he'll probably start the West Ham game.

Thought it was a penalty for liverpool but felt there was an element of doubt whether it was deliberate, so red was maybe harsh

I trsut djenepo more with a 20 yard curler than a two foot tap in, which XG is just never going to be able to factor in.

I'm amazed one of the so called bigger clubs hasn't offered a big wad of cash for Saint Maximin. Arsenal have blown close to 100M on bang average CB & Gk for instance.

Wolves at the end of September maybe

I get people don't like Mccarthy but what is he supposed to do from a header in the middle of the 6 yard box and a rebound in the 6 yard box. He made a couple of decent saves, its on the rest of the team to be shutting those chances down earlier.
