Tragic from Mbiwa again playing them onside. Doesn't know where he's supposed to be. What I don't understand is that Coloccini is a perfectly capable right back. Why not switch them?
Rickie Lambert with his 10th assist of the season today for #SaintsFC. That means he has now assisted more goals than Mesut Ãzil.
Seriously, I've been shaking my head in wonder at some of the things he has been doing today. He's been that good.
Enjoyed the game so far, even if a little frustrating. Same old though, not enough of a cushion given our recent form. Got to start strong second half, and get that 6 goal cushion! Lallana seems a little quiet.
Newcastle's only chance at getting near our goal in that half was brought to nothing by an exquisite drag-back by Chambers, who the calmly cleared the ball. And he so nearly set up a goal for Lallana as well. MOTM for me so far.
Chambers and Clyne should both be going to Brazil, to be honest. I think the fact that they are splitting time is causing them to be overlooked and that is going to cost England. Shaw is getting the attention instead. Not that Shaw isn't a fantastic player, but England is relatively strong there. Chambers or Clyne at RB would bring more to the side than Shaw at LB. Fantastic half by Saints, other than the lack of scoring.
