    Sorry to be a pain, I'm trying to pm you but it says I can't because of you're privacy settings. I wanted to check some stuff on this. Could you pm me by any chance? I'm not looking to hijack this thread.

    Tadic MoM for me.

    Jury still out on Clasie.

    PM sent - I also realised that no-one could contact me :) Probably was a good thing, but I've opened it up :)

    I have to agree with this as you always make me laugh Tom :emoticon-0100-smile.

    I get a bit exasperated by refs leaning towards the bigger teams but credit where it is due, Mariner was pretty even handed yesterday and I would say played his part in a highly entertaining match.

    Very harsh on Clasie. Very, very harsh. He was excellent yesterday.

    Damn! How could I forget Leicester! Well I suppose you could argue we should have beaten them twice but couldn't hang on.

    Don't we all in a way forget Leicester. Be a while before we think of them as a big club...even though we moan if people overlook us. I know that when I saw that our next game was Leicester, I still thought briefly that it would be a certain win.....totally ignoring the fact that they were top of the league.

    Exactly Fran. Leicester had the same effect for the first half of the season as we did in the first half of last season. We were underestimated by a lot of clubs and found ourselves in the top three/four for weeks and weeks. The difference of course is that Leicester have taken full advantage of their position whereas we had a dreadful spell, similar to this season really. If we could achieve the same sort of consistency as Leicester we could make the top four on a regular basis I'm sure.

    Shows how well we have done after Christmas...lost only 1 in 8 games. We should have been in bottom half with that awful run and yet (with only 2 games to go) we are still in the mix for top 6.

    Well, that was nice.

    Not a weak performance from anyone in a Saints shirt yesterday.

    Cuco: Look at Cuco's little assist and you'll see Fonte touched it about five feet in front of Cuco so it hit his shin rather than his foot and ballooned up. City were expecting Cuco to be the weak link and put huge pressure on him (did they attack down their right wing even once?) but he was good and solid so they didn't get through.

    Tadic was totally in control all game - marvellous assists.

    Proud of every single player.

    Vin

    I think thats the worst thing about this season - the missed opportunity. This squad could have been challenging top four if it wasn't for the silly games mid-seaspn

    Agree...the sad thing is that we should have been like Leicester. Perhaps next year....we need to be more consistent (which definitely means keeping our best players) and hope that the levelling out seen this season is also present next season. Mustn't forget that although we can be inconsistent and drop points we shouldn't, we are a consistently good side. Leicester will have to show that next season.

    I think Clasie is one of those players who goes about his business very quietly but efficiently. Unless you keep a close watch on him you don't really notice him. It doesn't help when Mane scores a hattrick and Tadic gets a hatful of assists either.

    I don't get people that say "jury is still out " for Clasie. My dad says the same, it's like some expect him to be exactly like Morgan or something. Like you I felt he had a good game yesterday. He backed off a little after getting the yellow, but apart from that I can't complain. I just wish people would watch Clasie and judge what he does and not what Morgan use to do.

    I'm beginning to think you have a midfield blind spot.

    We have had the weird **** run for 3 seasons now? It's like the players switch off for a while.

    I thought Clasie gave the ball away a lot yesterday. Whilst Romeu imposed himself on the game from the moment he came on.

    I thought Clasie was great yesterday too, personally.

    What about his performance didn't you rate?
