    I don't think the ref has got much wrong, really. Lots of silly challenges in this one. Fonte is wild. Yoshida, I think, a little calmer. Personally, I agree that one has to come off. Probably Yoshida - but it is a close one.

    I want to see us control the midfield now. Let's bring on Davis.

    No he's not done much wrong, but somehow I REALLY don't trust him to keep cards in pocket second half....

    Swansea were really aggressive, I thought they won't be able to do it the whole match, and particulary now they're man down. We should enjoy a bit more time and space.

    Pelle's had about 3 or 4 clever knockdowns/leaves to no one. Tempo of the game might be too fast for that. Sometimes you gotta just try and smash it in.

    Get JWP off and put Wanyama on.

    Swansea are one of those sides who should be able to cope ok with being down to ten men. They know how to keep the ball, and by playing with two wingers, they will always have themselves a goal threat on the counter.

    I would choose Davis over Wanyama, better passing and against ten men thats what we need

    Very aggressive first half. Saints very poor though, and Fonte needs to watch himself. Midfield non-existent

    I really can't stand Shelvey. He has a face even a mother couldn't love.

    I'll worry more about Fonte and Yoshi if they bring Gomis on...

    We're missing the link play of Davis massively, we need to make the extra man count and pass them into submission...Also agree that Maya should come off as a precaution for being sent off.

    Both of us should be down to 10 men. Fonte should have gone too.

    I would consider Davis for Long in order to tie down and dominate midfield to bring back some control to affairs

    There wasent any contact by Fonte otherwise i would agree. I'm sure Fonte's walking a very fine line for the 2nd half with the ref.

    Jim Lucas is saying that Gardos has been called in from the half-time warm-up by the coaching staff.

    We haven't had a red card since WBA 2 seasons ago where we got two!
