After being at the game today this is y view point: Bart - 5 - Poor again, terrible kicking and decision making! (See Bart thread) Harding - 7 - Good game even though was playing at RB, caught out a couple of times Martin - 8 - Rock solid at the back! Brilliant game! Never put a foot wrong! Hooiveld - 7 - have seen better but was fairly good Fox - 6 - slow build up play and seemed too relaxed at times, again seen better Hammond - 7 - good game, just in front of the two CBs. Commanded well and got stuck in Schneiderlin - 7 - same as above Cork - 9 - MY MOTM - fantastic, won everything, was simply faultless! Lallana - 7 - better than the past few weeks but still a bit from his best, had a good game though Ward-Prowse - 8 - Very good game, calm under pressure and played a lot of good balls and full of deter nation! Doble - 5 quiet, never threatened Subs: Hoskins - 6 - good determination, played much better than Doble Reeves - 6 - did ok but not enough time to judge Stephens - Not enough time All in all it was a poor first half performance but much better second half!
OS Twitter says it was a Hoskins assist? But good to see Martin, Ward-Prowse & Hoskins impressing! very good youngsters who will make it with us - also good to see Harding play well even though he was out of position
Knew Hoskins would play well,he looks like a great prospect.He is fairly fast,strong and has an eye for goal .

Saw this this afternoon! Hadn't a clue what was happening, the tv was muted on soccer saturday with Saints Player on the go
Not a bad summary off the game. Only differences from me would be Ward-prowse definately not an 8; he did well, but too easily knocked off the ball (I know he's only 17), Cork an 8 not 9 and I'd give Martin MOM as he did do well. Reeves I thought was quite impressive when he came on.
Agree with most of your ratings apart from Bart. I was at the game today, thought he made 2 or 3 very good saves in the first half and kept us in the match. His kicking wasn't the best, but he got stitched up by some dodgy passes back from Martin and a lack of options available to him when he recieved the ball back to his feet. I'd give Bart a 7, solid display and not a bad keeper at all, just needs to get his confidence back.
