Smalling will give away at least one penalty for shirt pulling in the tournament, guaranteed.

I don't think Roy has the minerals to drop him, he'll play the "He's Captain of the team" line. If he does, fair play.

With Danny Rose's debut and Bertrand's withdrawal, I reckon there's a chance he'll now go to the Euros at Ryan's expense - Woy will definitely take one of Gibbs/Baines. Rooney will go back in when fit. Woy just won't drop him.

I believe Klopp went out onto the pitch and shook hands with most of the Saints players post final whistle. Can't see many other managers doing that after dropping a 2-0 lead. He is still annoying though

Pelle just doesn't like the yellow ball, it's as simple as that.

Pelle just can't play yellow ball football.....

leave beastleigh at 1100hrs - the other two are due to arrive at southampton around 1530 I think. All weather dependant, especially the PM flight as it is arriving from Kent.

Can see Tadic, Pelle and Mane all starting now on Saturday - hey even Martina too

Chin up. It's only Wickham and Defoe to come on Saturday....

Just a non-event really.

Thought he would miss, bless him. Just received this - made me chuckle.

Last year Chelsea won the League Cup and finished top 4, therefore its place in the Europa League went to Spurs (6th).

Here we go....

will lallana miss the one that gives the cup to City?

He'll just put an apology in the Liverpool Echo.

That's if Toure doesn't get him first!

When Pelle was given the wave to return to the bench to come on, he was warming up with Mane. It took him a slight while to realise it was him getting the call. Is it lack of match sharpness, or confidence - perhaps a half-game with the U21s to try and get him a goal at least.

Mike "look at me with my exaggerated mannerisms" Dean is the ref on Tuesday.........

I reckon he might with it being Chelsea, and 2 of Terry/Ivanovic/Cahill being CBs. Pace may be the key.

Yes, the ball was moved closer to the goal, inside the penalty area in fact. The wall was then pushed back into the goalmouth as a result, in fact it may even have been behind the keeper!

I think some were abusing it to their advantage... i.e. getting a free kick moved to a less threatening area. I do remember one instance of a kick being moved into the penalty area, which meant the wall could go on the goal-line.

It would be a 3-game ban, had Wanyama not been stupid in the Bournemouth game, and then inexplicably again in the Norwich game. Had it only been a potential 3 match ban, I can see Saints appealing, otherwise it may end up being 6.

So..... Yoshida in then or a back 4!

They got him. Loaned back to Cov for rest of season.
