    Okay then, fine, but you've still only got one right back.

    Unless... we could double clone Lahm, that'd be pretty neat.

    Luke Shaw? He's quick. Even Asley Cole doesn't have the legs he used to have. Fox will just have to learn to use his experience. That's what defenders do when they don't have the pace.

    Also just back from the game. Agree with a lot of what was said above.

    Rodriguez and Lambert looked poor tonight. Rodriguez was playing like a left winger and Rickie had no support at all. He looked a bit rusty to me.

    Puncheon had a good game. Nice touches but no pace to get behind the fullbacks so he ultimately drifted out if the game.

    Our passing through midfield was good but we we were only able to pass sideways and backwards. Lallana was well marshalled and didn't have time or space.

    At centre back Fonte and Hooiveld looked very poor and really didn't look that comfortable on the ball.

    JWP and MS didn't get in the game.

    The match was truly dreadful. Must have been about 4 shots all game. Saints were trying to pass it in the net.

    Guly came on and unfortunately played like an ostrich wearing slippers. Stupid fouls, misplaced passes and the occasional hands on hips moments. I actually like Guly too!

    Billy Sharp came on (too late) and gave us a a different option. Very impressed with his few minutes.

    Bristol City played well on the counter. I think we will have more time and space in the premier league so it's hard to judge much tonight but we clearly need more quality.

    After the game had a nice KFC.

    Clone him at least 8 times, incase the other 7 get injured. Probably still won't be enough for some people though

    We clearly need new players, but then you shouldn't bring that up after only one friendly - it's been clear since we were promoted. Players like Fonte will be ripped apart by even the most average of Premiership strikers.

    Heard a rumour we're reincarnating George Best and giving him a new liver to sort out our right flank.

    Nigel Adkins has said that "we have lost Cork for a while". (Went over on his ankle)

    Fantastic!!! Wonder if this had anything to do with him missing out on pre-season which is mostly about fitness?

    The 'while' bit is worrying, as oppose to a little knock usually denoted to describe nothing serious! we'll see I guess, shame for him.
