5string

I think this, too. We just have to sort out the attacking mentality, be creative and unusual - we've been so predictable for a while, we must be relatively easy to defend against. This, despite all our attacking options and creative players. Strange how negative mentality affects a team. We need to look forwards from AM positions, not the usual 'hold it up, pass it back, try a different route' (which normally ends up being a route back to FF!).

He's a fool. His only positive trait was awkwardness. He is jealous of anyone with talent - that puts MLT at the top of his 'green-eyed' list, then. I've read that Dave Jones said he was a hard worker on the pitch, but: "He covers every blade of grass out there, but that's only because his first touch is so crap".

2003 v Utd?

I can't get a stream - not too disappointed, though. Are we really as bad as all the reports suggest?

Did anybody on the pitch or on the bench have a go at him for that? Should've been yelled at. I suspect not.

Yeeesss. 1-0 thank you. Win Clean sheet 3 pts VvD back Lemina awesome Davis anniversary goal. Good day

minute-an'alf Come ON. 2nd goal just to rub it in.

And now Gabbi coming on. I expect for Shlong...

VvD on for Tadic. Someone called that earlier. Good shout, whoever it was. Some boos for him from our fans. Bad show.

Ooh that could have been unfortunate.

Ah, has it happened? Did I miss it? Not yet, then haha

Redmond IS coming off, apparently, for... ... who?

Time to practise first-time shooting, Mr Redmond.

Long fouled clearly. Asks ref about it, gets booked (after giving a foul to Palace when Lemina won it cleanly). Ref trying to make it look like Saints are as dirty as Palace today by levelling up the bookings. Dearie me.

Good to see Forster taking charge of his 6 yard box. Well, 4 yards of it, anyway.

Yup, and Boufal for Tadic. Showing tired legs.

Yup. Same commentator who said Hoedt blocked Tadic's pass when it was actually Dann.

Another yellow for Palace. Still dirty.

Ooh nearly through

It seems to be raining quite heavily there.

Oof my nerves have set off again after all that. Palace are pressing hard. We need another goal.

I think you're right. Wrong side for him anyway - Tadic would need to switch to the left to fit JWP on the right. I wouldn't change Tadic at the moment. Boufal then. Or even Gabbi? Or would that spoil the balance we have today?

Townsend shinned it from a decent chance. We're still letting them in for too many proper chances (a better team would take advantage). Yoshida clattered - like lots of our players today! Palace being a bit dirty. Half Time. 1-0 will do.

Nice move, unlucky Tadic. Redmond getting more into the game. Bit late, son.

Apparently Saints need to keep a clean sheet for another 39 minutes to help Palace break a PL record - time for 0 goals scored at the start of the season (438 mins currently, Newcastle). Come on!
