A further 2 PL to go this round at least - and a couple of other potential banana skins which could increase that number. Come on boys, this is not the time for a ****-up!!
Southampton's side for their game against Arsenal is just weak. Can't understand that. Why make so many changes from the win over Liverpool? Southampton XI: Lewis, Martina, Stephens, Gardos, McQueen, Reed, Clasie, Hojbjerg, Sims, Isgrove, Long.
On the plus side, the result guarantees new bumper contracts for Walcott and Wellbeck - rather than convince Arsenal to sign players who haven't been coasting off "potential" long after they reached the age they should be delivering on a consistent basis.
Would be severely irritated if I were a saints fan tonight. They should have rested players in the league match on Tuesday not tonight...they will not qualify for European football via the top 6 so could afford to rest players in mid week. I (kind of ) get resting players if you are fighting for the top 4 or promotion or against relegation...I don't agree with it but I do kind of see the logic...but to rest them for the hell of it? Or cos you have a final in a month from now? Should refund the fans for making them pay to watch that performance imo
Just watched the MoTD highlights. Spurs were very poor, but the Poool starting XI was near disgraceful. I know they had the League Cup semi, and today it was Wolves, but their squad is far stronger than that IMHO.
And the bonus that Goon delusion about their squad credentials for PL champions etc will now be high (just as Springtime is looming) ...
Begovic and Ivanovic look set to rescue their careers, as they're set for moves to Bournemouth and West Brom respectively ...is a headline not one tabloid will use.
Watford resting a chunk of their team make it less of a surprise, although their inability to create any real chances is pretty bad. On the other hand, Hull seem to have just given up.
Hull missed two penalties against the penalty miss specialists. Fulham have been awarded nine this season and only scored two. Ryan Sessegnon got another goal. Lots of clubs looking at him now. I wonder if he'll risk moving and going somewhere where he'll have less chances to play?
Worst miss of the season? Mathieu Valbuena, just in case anyone missed the graphic making sure that everyone knew who it was! Lyon lost the game 2-1.
