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.

I wonder if a player called 'fit' was out there? 'Saints are hoping fit is fit on Sunday?' I do recall this classic in cricket when we heard the saying 'The bowlers Holding the batsmans Willey.?'

Hoping for the PDF version as I've been stuck in hospital for 3 days :/

Love how ruthless Puel was for taking off Hesketh, he was having a stinker in the first 32 minutes.

Please don't as they will put him in as centre back.

Certainly was knackered around the 40 minute mark. When the first sub board came up I swear Austin waved his finger as he wanted to come off. He then walked over to the bench and had a word. Did anyone else see it like that?

Such mixed comments in this thread and those criticising Yoshida are puzzling. Penalty incident was pathetic. Only once did a player dribble around a Sparta player. (Gone are the old fashion wingers we used to have. VVD is a fantastic player. When will Austin learn to stay onside? Long needs to be that last man and not stick on the flanks so much. Martina over Soares any day. Some dirty tackles tonight including the one on Martina and JWP. Atmosphere good first half. I thought Puel could of freshened it up on the 60 minute mark where we started to lose control of the game. Who's that supporter in the Northam who walks around like he owns the place. Wears a basketball shirt. Love our European shirt if only it never had the bra.

Text me on 07871875254 andI will duet Paynent. Cheers

I will take them m8.

Good managers drive teams to a higher level, shame we let some of our good ones leave too easily.

I have no idea what the ref was thinking but they will get away with it yet again. Better performance and I hope the players keep believing as confidence is a major destroyer. + Romeu was excellent. + Tadic needs smarter players around him, Boufal will love him. + Diamond system is running smoother. - Long is so out of touch. - Virgil's worse game for us. - Too many panic tackles at the back as our midfield don't protect the back four enough.

When or if we do crack this diamond formation then teams are going to find it hard to play against us. They certainly won't be copying it for a long time.

Who do you reckon was the slowest?

The fastest Saints player ever? I would go either Rodney Wallace or Neil Ruddock?

I expect we are still owed money by so many clubs. Take Liverpool for example, they purchased Lallana for X amount. They pay a down payment of 12m and will pay the rest over 3 years. I expect Manchester United owe us a fair amount too for Shaw and Spider.
