Tadanari Lee simply wonderful, no wonder he's starting ahead of Sharp. Excellent work rate (typical Japanese) and his movement off the shoulder of the last defender is up there with Pippo Inzaghi.

Guly... I really don't understand how anyone can stick up for the guy. Consistently woeful and extraordinarily lazy. Someone mentioned Nigel applauding him - in the first half I could see Nigel screaming at him for not tracking back. I remember Nige saying a while De Ridder needed to learn to track back and defend - ie 'the English game' - if so then why the hell is Guly exempt from this?! Terrible, his miss was shocking as well. I know some people see him as a 'luxury' player but tbh those are the exact players I cannot stand. They should produce regularly and maybe have one poor/average game in 10/15, not on good game in 15. Really can't warm to the guy I'm afraid.

De Ridder - class when he came one, glad he shut up some of the people who were berating him on here yesterday. Undoubted talent, if Nige played him regularly instead of that donkey Guly the fans would have a different perception, guaranteed.

Both full backs were pretty poor tonight, Harding had a terrible second half and Frazier just never got nto the flow. But Frazier has been pretty consistent all season so he was also due a less impressive game, and Harding... well again you never know what you're going to get with him. Did some good work (some of the balls over the top to Lee were good, as was some of his tackling), but then does ridiculous things that put the whole team under pressure.

Don't think Hammond was anywhere as bad as people are making out (still prefer Cork though), and overall I'd say Saints were unlucky to lose. Dominated the first half and defended relatively well for most of the second - their goal was lucky and Hooiveld and Harding should probably have done better, but we're not gonna win every game. COYR

I agree with you.

Guly is poor. He made about 3 tackles i the game but that was all he did all game.
