So are we. If both teams are smart, they'll simply hold the ball until the 89th minute, and then go for broke.

 

Lallana's improving, which is encouraging

 

I feel so ashamed and dirty that I doubted Lambert's ability to perform in the PL, in the summer.

 

Uh oh, Fox down the left.

 

Sensible change, even if few/none of us really wanted it happen. Couldn't afford Luke to get sent off; couldn't afford to have Luke missing the QPR game.

 

Was Shaw injured? Havn't got the volume on, on my stream and cba to go get headphones...

 

Luke was on a yellow and Debuchy was all over him, I don't think that's a bad substitution tbh

 

If Holt could do it then certainly Lambert could, he has improved as he has matured at Saints and his awareness and guile has improved over time.

 

We are much better with Lallana on the right this half

 

Would go so far as to say that it was necessary. Still scares me.

 

Not so sure we are a team that benefits from long breaks, certainly on that first half performance.

Though if each game was subject to the golden goal rule, we'd be safe already.

 

Fox did well against City to be fair.

Also Rickie is outright top English goalscorer now. (thanks Joe Hart)

I would argue that our bench is stronger than Newcastle's too.

 

we should bring Puncheon or Ramirez on

 

I went for a Sunday Roast and missed Rickie's 100th. How could I?

 

Because you are an awful human being. YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVE.

 

Oh Foxy.

 

Glurgh.
