I did definite "dime bar" moment. I think what was funnier was every liverpool player telling him to **** off everytime he went over to tell them.
We've never been able to put anything like a full team out for any game this season, it's ridiculous. These are the players we have out tomorrow and for a little while yet. Just got on with it all season, but it's just getting ****ing daft now. Pickford Kone Khazri N'Dong Cattermole Kirchhoff Anichebe McNair Gooch Watmore Pienaar
Kirchoff is a class act. Would love to have him at Saints if he wasn't made of glass. Shame but he'll probably always be one of those players. Cattermole is overrated hugely by your fans tbh.
I'm not a big fan of Cattermole, he's very limited as a player. We do seem to play better when he's in the team though. Kirchhoff and M'Vila showed last season the quality we should be looking at to improve. He couldn't get a game when they were in the team. Kirchhoff should be at a top 4 club on ability. Simple as that. Most talented midfielder I've ever seen at the club. Allardyce proved last season if you manage him right then he can be kept fit.
Not signing M'Vila was criminal mate. I posted on your board before that I honestly believe that him as one signing alone would see you 13/14th in the league. You would have held on to your lead at our place for a start As for Cattermole, I know what you mean by you play better with him, and his style being tough tackling, gives 100%, leadership/commitment etc. He will always have support from a lot to the fans. But the fact he's been one of your best players in the last 4/5 years is precisely your problem (if that makes sense). Despite the qualities he does have, if a player like him is one most important in a league as competitive as the PL, you know you're in trouble. Admittedly, he's been less important in last 18 months or so.
Also with Kirchoff, unfortunately I think he will just always be one of those players. Can't remember the exact figures but saw a stat on your board recently about how many games he's played in last 3/4 years and it was shocking. Shame though as he's undoubtedly class, and like I said I would have loved him down here. Though saying that, reckon we had a better deal from Bayern in Pierre Hojgberg. Still only 21/22 and getting used to league but has potential to be fantastic. Much better at his age than Schneiderlin was, who is by far the most complete midfielder I've seen in my time supporting Saints - Everton fans will see that soon Hojgberg will probs go to Liverpool in Summer 2019 for £30m+

They play weekly so didn't need to read it. They know how to play football without instructions on paper. Sturridge
Interesting game week... Costa out of the Chelsea side has to be good news for us but we are missing Slimani, Mahrez and Amartey. Citeh should have too much for Everton - particularly if they play like they did against us in the cup. Adrian Durham on talkShite predicted a 4-0 win for United against "woeful Liverpool' on the Drive show last night....personally I think it will be a lot closer with United shading it by the odd goal. Spurs have to play the 'horrible' West Brom ...not going to be pretty but the sort of game they need to win if they have genuine title aspirations. Arsenal go to Swansea, which on paper should be an easy 3 points ...but Swansea have an incredible record against the Goons - won 5 of the last 8 meetings... Let the games begin ...
