that sucks!

Forster MOM, who's fit for MoanUre ?

feel very proud to be a saints fan tonight F F mam of the match

Deserved a point tonight. Very annoying.

Thought we played well

we were well beaten on sunday. but very much in the game tonight.

Tough luck

Provided the injury thingy is not too bad.

fancy us against United

Forster was excellent

Nobbled our players so when we do get a genuine injury we go down to 10 men. Gutted. Forster did well though & answered a few questions.

Very concerned about our injury situation now. We're a right old mess, pretty much in the space of a week.

If we had got the deserved point it would have been some compensation for a very worrying injury list.

Harsh on us tonight, played so well...in other games man city had 4 shots scored 4 goals, lesson learned??

Losing to Arsenal is the kind of thing Arsenal would do so don't worry about it, we'll finish fourth anyway or something.

Very unlucky tonight. Thought it was a decent performance and such a shame that the injury basically cost us a point.

That goal was so obvious.

Probably time we sacked Koeman.

Obviously not good enough for the top 4. Get in Manchini and be done with this clown.

we need to spend a little in january talk about no depth starting 11 great 2nd eleven poor!

Losing to Arsenal is the kind of thing Arsenal would do so don't worry about it, we'll finish fourth anyway or something.

It maintains the form NIckG predicted of 6 points from our next 11 games which will get us 4th or something.

Well p!ssed off...Arse wipe...don't deserve that...well played Saints....

you know what, regardless of the result, i'm fuc*ing proud of the boys tonight, forster man of the match, most players put a good shift in, and I'm off for another pint. On to the next one.

****ing ****e one to take, nothing from the ref again away at a big club and the injuries killed us.

Harsh result that.

we need to spend a little in january talk about no depth starting 11 great 2nd eleven poor!

To be honest, most squads would look stretched with the amount of injuries we have at the moment.

We're not very lucky with injuries.

Whatever the problem, I'm not convinced that Mayuka or Mané is the answer.

So unlucky.

Gutting defeat, 11 v 11 thought we Might nick it, goal was inevitable when we went down to 10. Gutting defeat and two more injuries, hopefully they won't be out for long.

We deserved a point. Given the injuries we picked up which forced our hand, we played well. Forster was massive - great game.

gutted and now sh1tting myself about our injury crisis

Deserved a point, more worried about the injuries than the loss though.

First minute of injury time wasted with the ref sorting people out for the corner.

Then wastes another 40 seconds with his f*cking spray, then blows the whistle 10 seconds after the free kick. 3 minutes of injury time given and we only played a minute and a half of it.

Didn't deserve to lose.

Gutsy performance that deserved a point. Forster was excellent. Gutted we lost the excellent Cork(hoping its only minor and he'llbe back shortly) and then losing our best defender once we'd made our third move. Arsenal were extremely lucky and we right now need a slice of luck against Man Utd to stop this becoming a slide. Disappointed about the goal too, never should have been allowed to make that cutback.

I hate to say it, my predictions for the games starting at Villa have proved right.

Whatever the problem, I'm not convinced that Mayuka or Mané is the answer.

Mane is alright, just having a right old mare at the moment though.

Mayuka, well, what the hell is that? He's horrendous. If there's only 1 thing we do in January, it's to ship him out and replace him with a better player (which wouldn't be hard)

Played with intensity and closed down tonight. We would NOT have lost if we played like this against City. Pelle missed amost a sitter when he should've buried it.

Why do we get so many injuries in flipping december???

Chin up. Great performance. We dont look out of place on the top 4 race.

Lets batter utd.

All of our bad luck was saved for tonight - 3 injuries in one game, would have had a point at least if not for that.

Worrying injury situation developing now.

Dirty dirty Arsenal. They were worried.

Our squad depth now comes into question.

Unlucky Saints. Injuries are starting to cost us points.

Just as a matter of interest though. Has anyone ever seen Mayuka have a good game?

When Geroud came on and the game changed as he dominated Yoshida. We didn't keep the ball as well as we had done and mane and Mayuka offered nothing. Very impressed by Toby in midfield. Yet again we fail to beat one of the big sides despite playing well. Got to,take our chances as these sides create plenty of their own.

****ing gutted with that result.

Forster excellent.

Koeman is a. Erly good manager but what a mistake to take Long off and leave 2 wild cards on inMayuka and Mane. Ok great to gamble on a break away, but Long had done really well and we didn't need to roll the dice

Whatever the problem, I'm not convinced that Mayuka or Mané is the answer.

No, me neither. Mane looked like he might be a good acquisition when he first arrived but he doesn't look interested now, and has an air about him that displays a bad attitude problem. I get the sense he isn't well liked among the rest of the players.

Starting to feel a little like last year again! Injuries and a drop in form, eek.

WHY MANE? WHY MAYUKA? Another **** up after a brilliant performance

Devastated, can't remember the last time we lost to a late goal like that. I can accept defeat, but we looked comfortable, there were no periods of dominance from Arsenal, even with 10 we looked good for a draw.Get the feeling we might have used all our luck up this season. The next few games could see us return to normality.

Hard to take that result as we did pretty well...

Hope injuries are not too bad for Monday

Koeman is a. Erly good manager but what a mistake to take Long off and leave 2 wild cards on inMayuka and Mane. Ok great to gamble on a break away, but Long had done really well and we didn't need to roll the dice

Well at least we should be able to count on Long for next Monday.

How's JWP getting on?

Tadic not doing enough in games for me. He needs to be running things for us to really tick

Very unlucky. Good performance from the team, exactly what we needed to see after City. Injuries are a bit of a worry, we seem to be picking up a few now. Hope Alderweireld and Cork's aren't bad. We're still third lads, our demise, like in the summer, has been greatly exaggerated.

Massive pat on the back for the shift put in by the lads.

Still not impressed with Yoshida on for Cork.

Very concerned about our injury situation now. We're a right old mess, pretty much in the space of a week.

Exactly what happened last year. With Toby, Morgan & Cork out we are stuffed. Obviously Reed isn't quite tup here yet to get a game against Manure so what can we do?

Yoshisan doesn't look good enough at this level and Fonte is looking increasingly shaky. Not quite meltdown but top four seems remote with this sort of luck. Sh.t!

Forster looked well worth £10m tonight absolute monster in goal

I was never 100% convinced but tonight he was tested well and showed his worth

First minute of injury time wasted with the ref sorting people out for the corner.

 

Then wastes another 40 seconds with his f*cking spray, then blows the whistle 10 seconds after the free kick. 3 minutes of injury time given and we only played a minute and a half of it.

Didn't deserve to lose.

Andre Marriner - what do you expect... professionalism? The guy is a prize tit. The bias he showed towards Arsenal tonight was so obvious it was embarrassing.

Time to either play the youngsters or bring someone in on a FREE otherwise it's just going to be curtains as all the good since the summer will be thrown away.
