3 times in a row now we've been bossed in midfield which forces us to revert to side and back passes.... and the brain farts to go with it. Pretty embarrassing display... feel sorry for the crowd at St Mary's.

interesting line up - 4-5-1 when out of possession to 4-3-3 when attacking I also had Smallbone in mind for this game... Think RH had to try something a bit different after the last two no shows - gives us quite a bit on the bench too (if makes use of it) Like that Perraud is back... give us, with Salisu, two lefties to really spread the game out wide Worth a try first half at least

That one hurts as it's even more frustrating that the Villa game... so tough to take and difficult to understand after a great run. KWP, Che and Stu did alright, the rest were average at best. Most annoyed with RH tonight, should have taken Tino off (what are they doing to him...??) for Perraud and give us a natural left footer to balance the play. All wrong again.... such a pity

that's a game and a half where we don't seem to be fully on it... cute passes, little one twos but seldom creating a threating situation. Got to admit, Che's monster volley should have got us in front at half time. Stu so, so important but nothing new

Agree, about as good as we can get - Redmond vs Moj can be debated but they are about equivalent Gonna be tough tonight, Newcastle are on a roll and have a smart manager - hopefully we've licked our wounds from the weekend and are raring to push, press and punish them. Should be a cracking atmosphere... COYR

Certainly a big difference between the teams yesterday, a 100+million attacking midfielder, mostly unmarked, able to spread passes around and dictating play. Would love our club to have someone like that to deploy but we've got to be realistic. With hindsight, RH got his tactics wrong, should have gone with a defensive / counter attacking line up such as a 5-4-1 but the players didn't really turn up and Villa were good value. No issues with Ings, would love for him to still be at the club but he gave us some real good shows whilst with us and didn't celebrate yesterday... Big wake up call... would be a pity for the season to fizzle out after some real improvements. COYS

nasty half ... think we need Diallo in and one of the 3 midfielders man mark Continho... go 4-3-3 and match Villa We'll do really well to get a point out of this one...

DDos by Russian? wouldn't be surprised

Pretty settled line up, good attacking options available on the bench whilst defensive is maybe a bit light. Coutinho is the obvious threat from advanced midfield but hopefully Romeu has him in his pocket. Hoping for a win but more than happy with a draw and keeping the unbeaten run going. 1-2 Saints... COYS

Well, that was a surprising result after seeing the starting eleven... wow, great stuff. RH is a genius...:-) Great goal by Perraud and this Broja nipper up front is some player... COYR !!!!!!!!!!

Decent transfer window, a settled, balanced team and a few guys on the bench to rely upon, probably make a a bit of difference to last couple of years. I'm just amazed as how calm we can be on the ball (still a brain fart per game from someone but nothing like past seasons), how positive we are, how strong physically and emotionally. Our tempo and press are more aggressive and insistent... A few of the players have really improved as well (Salisu, KWP, JWP, Romeu, Che, Moj even FF...). Think RH has also improved, last year he was a bit like a roller coaster of emotion, this year he seems to be really on it. I'm really impressed and watching, the games in the past few months, has been a blast... Love it and long may it continue. COYR

We seem to be scoring at least screamer per game... love it and love Romeu... WOW ... Another win, didn't get out of first gear, we march on !!!

Not a bad first half, think we can go up a gear and score a couple more in the second half... agree with other chaps here, Broja could maybe do with a bit of a rest, get in AA or Shlong... KWP is a beast and Tino is not far behind... COYRRRRRRRRRRR

gonna go for an unchanged line up ... Perraud and Redmond on the bench for Valery and Walcott, 3-1 win and a whole lot of singing... COYR

wasn't too bad this time I thought... ManU picked up a fair few yellows....

That was a damn good show by the boys... better finishing and we easily win it. Very good goalkeeping, good defending and such strong midfield play.... Proud and loud ... COYR !!!

from previous interviews, seems he's interested in coaching / management... maybe he's agreed something with the club - though I reckon he could get a couple of years in the MLS or Asia before hanging his boots

Pretty sad to see how Theo has regressed in just 12 months... I understand he still has 18 months on his contract and unsure whether club or player will want to honor this Hope we can get a few good games from him by the end of the season... give him a nice send off.

Unchanged lineup makes sense. Looking forward to the game. A bit worried about man u's wide players certainly more of a threat than vs spurs. Going for 2-2 draw as we can certainly score ... COYR

What a great performance for the team, good selection from RH... We were so good with the ball, a threat each time we went forward and I think having Stu back to near his best takes us to a different level. We bossed it and I loved it... COYR

I love that he goes mental each time he makes a tackle... great spirit, still a rough gem though

Redmond with 5 assists (8th in the league stats...) has been pretty decent lately, not a world beater but certainly an asset to the squad Moj didn't play great today but didn't he just come back from Covid? Got a few good goals too this season, certainly better than Walcott or Djenepo

Che Adams' vs City was a stunner too

what a match... great team spirit... deserved that point Redmond out at half time actually did us which shows that he's been having some decent games for us lately (5 assist I think) The goal we conceded was poor, was so obvious KdB was going for the far post We rode out luck but we were brave... really loved it. Really proud tonight

great team effort... keep it going boys... certainly feel we can sneak a second one on the break, just got to keep working hard COYR
