Caceres was brought in as emergency back up. We can presume that Puel has seen nothing that he feels warrants dropping either Yoshida or Stephens. This is massively valuable experience for a talented player from our Academy....who we can assume is the future for us. The season is safe with nothing in particular to play for....why wouldn't you keep playing him. Also suggests that to me that we won't be offering Caceres a contract...though Saints have fooled me before.

I spoke about Maya/Stephens before the game with my Dad. It was hard to say that either did anything wrong and Stephens looked composed and I thought played well, however although we got a clean sheet yesterday, we have conceded lots of goals lately and that is probably down to other attributes such as talking during the games and positioning. They play well but as a pair may not be quite at the level we'd need if we were fighting to stay up or pushing for Europe. As we are, I agree with you Fran, it's a good opportunity for them to play.

They started the season as our 3rd and 5th choice CBs, yet they are doing ok.

Shock horror, sacking your manager doesn't suddenly turn your side into a goalscoring machine. Swansea have the worst defence in the league, and Boro couldn't lay a finger on them until Gestede's injury time header.

But hey, they didn't lose. They live to fight another day. But I suspect that they'll still need at least four points from Hull and Burnley over the next seven days to have any chance.
 
A correct offside call away from the game completely changing. On a yellow card, why would you (Navas) tug someone back who is bearing down on goal - quite possibly inside the penalty box, too.
 
Both sides as equally inept at defending as the other. This could be anything in an hours time.
