    Dijk saved us about 4 times during the game. When other players were losing their heads.

    Get the old band back together and hope they all spur each other on, I think. I'd go with...

    Forster; Cédric, Fonte, Van Dijk, Bertrand; Clasie, Romeu, S. Davis; Mané, Pellè, Tadić.

    Agree with the above, Pelle was good when he came on. Would be nice to have Tadic and Mane pushing out wide like old times.

    Really dont see a need for 5 at the back vs. Sunderland to be honest. Clasie will make a big difference as well IMO.

    I know I thought he was excellent, by far our best player. Lapses in concentration is his weakness it seems

    I wouldn't risk him even if there is a slight chance.

    Agree - at least GP looked interested in trying when he came on!

    DtLw, I think it I'd just disappointment, after a really poor two months, we got it back together. Then a slip up against s Costa inspired Chelsea ( that I kind of get) and then a woeful performance against one of the also rans. I think a lot of us expected a win ( if you can) to put pressure on WH and United. For some of us older fans it seemed to remind me of the " old Saints " - build you up to break your heart.
    Apologies to our mod who will tell us this is the New Saints, but to me there is still a little of the old Saints we all grew up with

    In other news in the darkest depths of pro football Pompey managed to not win again! I wondered why we were not being inundated by the skates. Cheers (the mighty) Exeter. <bubbly>

    Pelle did look OK didn't he. There, that's one positive.

    Fonte usually helps with that. But he was having trouble himself today.

    I'm going to find a cave of my own I think.

    Yes- but I think that is harsh - we seem to have quickly become over,- dependent on Van the man

    As long as he's fit and firing for next season, ready to score a hat-trick in their new stadium I'm not fussed about it. :)

    I'll play. I am 46, but more interested than Mane, more mobile than Pelle and better looking than Long

    Well that was disappointing, poor in possession and lacking intensity. Formation did not work and we rarely threatened. Bournemouth worked hard but didn't create much but both the conceded goals were poor, like the referee who gave some very soft fouls.
