Logic.

So if Utd/Arsenal v Liverpool is the FA cup final and they both are in the UCL then the Europa spot goes to the league. So if Chelsea win the league cup does that mean 7th can qualify in Europa? As all 3 positions would go to 5th 6th and 7th?

Can someone clarify the different scnerarios for getting in UEFA?

Tadic is going to be vital in this game. This really is our biggest game of the season so far.

Personally couldn't care less about booing him or not etc. He left, he's history, get over it. More hoping we generate a good atmosphere.

Cheers for the info. Sounds a real talent.

Can't see a thread that has been done. Huge huge huge game. Need a win for the top 4 push. They are 4 points behind now and hitting some good form. Should be an open game. A decent break for the players and should be a near fully fit side. Toby and Morgan back in for sure. Would maybe start Tadic and JWP for Elia and Reed. Need to improve drastically in our final third. Can see this game having goals both ends. Liverpool have two games before this game which is good.

Deserves a thread of it's own. Incredible. 7 wins already and won the last 4 away league games (a new Saints PL record surely!). Amazing

Not surprised. Always respected him but he acted like a total prat when he held that Palace player down yesterday.

This will be a hard game. They look very impressive this half against Utd. It'll be different to last season when they played for a 0-0 borefest. Schneiderlin and Wanyama key in this. Pelle needs to improve on his QPR performance and get more involved as he'll also be key. Fancy a stressful 2-1 win.

Mane is class. Me and brother went absolutely ape sh!t!!! Huge result.

Could opportunity to gain back points on teams with Spurs v Arsenal and Liverpool away at Everton. Winnable away game but we need to create more opportunities for the possession we have.

Story of the game: Ashley Williams was brilliant. Tadic and Clyne were very poor. Elias our best player. What a coup. Forster might have saved that. Pelle worked his socks off and won everything. Shelvey who I don't rate particularly highly is the exact style of midfielder we do not have. Lastly, we definitely did not deserve to lose.

Take a valium man and chill. I personally think we could be missing on an opportunity to capitalise on frankly the best position we are ever gonna be in on reaching top 4. Granted it is very difficult to get a new CF in January but there are players out there. This could be the difference of the club going up a level and is worth the gamble IMO. If Pelle got injured it would be like the days of when Lambert was injured during the Championship season. He also needs a break sometimes and during Palace with that other CF option you would have subbed him to change things up. Pelle has to play 90 minutes every game virtually because of the lack of options. We need the Billy Sharp effect like the Championship promotion to steer us over the finish line.

They seem to be in dire straits at the minute, but if we defend like we did today we'll make it hard for our selves. Still fancy a return to form and a 2-0 win. Watching in Barcelona.

Through my dad and grandad who have been going for 40 years. We all go together with my brother. Love it.

Any rumours floating about?

At least we could be 2 points behind them come the end of Swansea in two weeks.

Shame we aren't playing City soon. They have been pathetic.

City have been dreadful.

His father passed away last year. Wonder whether he's also had personal issues (understandably) since then combined with an injury. Can see him thriving under Koeman.

He played very well yesterday. Contributes so much more than goals. My worry is what we would do if he got injured. He's hit the post/bar 6 times this season, more than any other player in the PL. As long as he is in the position for chances I wouldn't worry too much.

Thought he was sensational. As well as his attacking ability he did all the basics well which so many attacking players faulter at. Love how passionate he is too.

Think we won that in 2nd gear really, players never really broke a sweat. Massive blow the injury but fortunately JWP and Cork are back for some depth.

Tbf with the new manager they did come out early against Chelsea for the first 20 minutes.
