Could be right but I still think he would be a great asset. Us and corners at the moment can be dull. I remember the days when Claus would go up for a corner and it was like just placing a shirt on the floor. This Sakho coming up for corners will make a massive difference.

And we are being linked with a striker who has scored 3 times in 17 matches? Thats about right!

Koeman's tactics vs Saints. If you have a goal scoring chance just get it on target, chances are it will go in. When they take a corner make sure the two tallest players stand at the front of the 6 yard box. Double up on Boufal and don't worry about Redmond let him go free. When they put Shane Long in at left wing don't laugh and pretend it's stretching us. Pump one in the box as our big lump will always out jump Fonte to score. Finally allow them to pass it sideways 30 times but make sure you get on the end of Forsters hoof at the end of it.

This time last year we were calling for Koeman's head and yet Puel has got us into a higher league position and a semi final. Is it really because the guy has no charm and can be boring to listen too?

Unbeaten in 2017 and we need to keep it running. Going for a 0-0.

A few things to mention, If we had won today then so many of you would be saying what a great manager Puel is. Okay we scored from a corner that was delivered short at the front post, why did we try the same tactic 6 times over. Dreadful open play crosses that are either over hit or floated. Need McQueen and Bertrand playing together plus let's shoot more often.

Our defence have worked miracles to stop Forster facing too many shots. Forster has become a stopper only because he struggles to gather the ball cleanly anymore. Dont get me started on his coming out, closing down and kicking. A shocking keeper that is getting worse every time.

Still believe Redmond never touched him for the penalty. Pathetic decision from an official who goes out to make the game about himself.

I love the way Shane Long dressed up as a goalscorer.

I've heard they are not selling tickets to Saints fans as they too have given up.

Hope so as it will certainly lift the occasion.

I suppose it explains the longer contracts on offer to the players to raise the value of the club. I was more than hoping it was because we were forcing them to stay at the club longer.

Embaressing stand, many people want to sing but are too shy to start it. By time the Northam songs come around the opportunity has gone to join in. I suggest the players should wear a t-shirt with the words... 'Sing up you grumpy bastards.'

My son has just got two tickets for the Inter game, only two left together and some singles are scattered around if anyone interested. Thought they were all sold out according to this forum?

Always puzzled by Koeman when he brings on his subs while Puel seems to do better. The big test is if Puel can get the team playing better at the start of December and through to January. Always struggle to get anything that I can remember.

I think we will force him to stay another season like we did with Sneiderlin, Wayama and Mane. Then we will allow him to leave if the right bid comes forward. Next season we will need to bring in Fonte's replacement first as he is not getting any younger. BTW VVD needs to stop players beating him on the deck like the last two games. He switches off too often.

Romeo was amazing, if he does not win man of the match on here and does not get in Gareth Crooks team of the the week then it's a robbery.

Quite tidy, his hair was neatly done and he tucks his shirt in. Two things are happening in our games these days: Always one underhit back pass and a players hamstring goes ping. Needs sorting quickly.

Too many people are putting your locations down which is nice. What about photo's please leading up to the event so we can feel the atmosphere with you?

Think you are watching the wrong game Allsports?

Don't you just hate it when you arrive at the airport and someone is wearing the same shirt as you.

This has got 2-0 written all over it with Austin and Redmond scoring.

Superb as it's different and it does not involve Pompey.

You're Boufal, You're Boufal it's true. When I saw...........(blah blah) To the tune of You're beautiful.
