5string

No no no that was LAST week's law adjustment. We'll find out this week's when Spurs score a dodgy one, like offside or something.

No pressure, just getting it on target would've been enough. Nope. Gotta take those chances.

JWP seems to be toughening up a bit. Vertonghen at fault there, though - and cried about it. Nice football out of defence there.

FFS!

Spuds hit the post. Then Ali falls over & gets a free kick!?!

1-0 OG from a great Bertrand cross. More goals, more goals! COYR!

Bertrand should have come for that - easy possession. Why'd he back off?

Positive start. We can sit back and defend now.

... 10 rows into the stand behind the goal.

Watching some highlights - Obafemi's a bit quick, isn't he? Could be the new Long - hope he can finish better.

I was thinking our bench looks ok, then I read your post. I shall disagree with you, sir! Obafemi could surprise them; having Davis, Boufal, Forster & Bednarek on the bench isn't bad. Redmond is clearly playing for his place now, so may spark a little if brought on. Trying to be positive here.

Nearly - just JWP for Boufal.

Anyway, back to it... What team will start today? Any injuries, including those carrying slight knocks? Forster back in? Redmond? Lemina starting? Long or Gabbiadini? (I think we know the answer to that one)

Bring him in til end of season, give the team a 'new manager' boost - he seems to do that well. Make it clear he's a stop-gap, but with rewards if he succeeds in keeping us up. Meantime, look for a proper long-term solution to our recent managerial issues.

Liverpudlians at it again, it seems.

Grab 'im! Maurice, off you go, son. Theo's got some bin bags you can use. Maaarcooo, how are ya, mate?! Now, here's what you gotta do....

Quick, grab him. MoPe summoned.. sorry son, off you go! Marco, welcome! Here's what you have to do...

I disagree. A defeat would have worse. I think drawing after being 2 up may well see Pellegrino leave - his tactics are not working. Notwithstanding the obvious cheating handball equaliser. I do feel hard done by because of that. Should've made subs earlier. That's what cost us ultimately.

How did Tadic get a yellow for thinking it was a Saints throw, but the guy who unceremoniously flattened him gets... nothing??! Silly reffing. 1 min + injury time. Oh I see - Maradona is playing!!

Okaka nutted McCarthy's back/shoulder. Didn't really get a punch from the gk. McCarthy got there first.

Ok, time to get possession players on: Boufal for starters. Use up time by passing in a more attacking position.

PROWSEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY!!!! 2-0 Great work from Long, & finally some support play in attack. COME on!

Watford look a lot more tentative than I expected them to be. They're playing like we normally do.

Great chance. Good defending, though Long took too much time, really. Couldn't he have even lifted it a bit?

Strangely not. Good to see us pinning them in their own half - ooh decent long range effort from Hoedt, good save.
