    Mainly Zaha and Townsend. If Milivojevic can come on second half and get injured* too that would be splendid.

    *All minor injuries that just put them out of action for a week.

    Not that bothered about facing Zaha after watching him here, he is hardly Eden Hazard.

    Compare this to when Derby were 2-0 down against us, Lampard changed the shape and went 4 up front and it paid dividends. If you want to stay in a competition you have to throw caution to the wind in a desperate situation.

    He is saving his energy and ideas for when he manages Manchester United.

    I don't think he was really giving it his all. Saving himself for Wednesday. Townsend put in a shift though.

    Saints don`t often hit the ground running after a break. But that was before Ralph ! 2-0 Saints !

    It's been a difficult but great January for us. A draw and two PL wins

    A win here will make that great excellent.

    Any normal month that would then probably have given Ralph manager of the month.

    Of course no-one can compete with Solskjaer. It's his, even if utd lose to Burnley (which we don't want)

    I would say Ralph has turned boys into men, misfits into a team where as OGS has just lifted the negativity of expensive overpaid divas.

    I have no doubt Ralph will win MOM in his time

    Yep typical my daughter arrives at Heathrow at 8am. I need to leave at about 5:30am to be on time from Bournemouth (because of commuter's traffic etc). Now I may have to drive through snow.

    Yeah, but that may be considered Plan C.

    Poch is still working on his Plan B.

    Ryan Bertrand posting footage of himself weightlifting and using an exercise bike (at great speed!) with a personal trainer, onto his Instagram account.

    Can't wait til he's blown the cobwebs off and Ralph has got him into the system.

    A revitalised Bertie is just what we need. Could be the difference between 10th and 12th place.

    Yep, I definately hope he comes back as the "Koeman" Bertie rather than the "Pellegrino/Hughes" version.

    With Berti and Target injured, will Johnson be given another go, or is Vokins an option although he has no squad no. Maybe Hesketh will get a chance as a more offensive option

    Johnson is not a wing back. He tackles like a pair of chopsticks trying to pick up a marble.

    Zaha and Townsend are going to be a handful on Wed. Shame we aren’t playing Spurs instead. How crap are they without Kane, Son and Ali?
