Saint Without a Halo

Change Sturridge and Rooney for Kane and Vardy we need to show some ambition if we are hoping to establish a good team going forward in any event Sturbridge will most likely be crocked I personally would also put Bertrand in for Gibbs and drinkwater for lallana

Koemans actions to date indicate he thinks otherwise And currently views him as a key first team player over the likes of Clasie and romeau That may well change in the future but at the moment he believes he adds value to our team

Koeman likes him and I am happy to follow his judgement on who to select and who to sell etc!

Down to 18c now freezing!

Also we are doing relatively well against top teams yet dropping silly points to those lower down this year so playing

Much as I hate Spurs I have to admit Poch has done a great job there where so many others have failed and with only 20 goals conceded they must now be title favoutites

Well some of the refereeing in todays matches seems amazing Clatenberk giving a penalty for that And I have seen a number of tackles far worse than the one Wanyama got sent off for without even a yellow come out!

who is Grorge ?

The Likes of Long JWP VVD and Clasie are now all showing why Koeman had confidence in them and kept them playing! Forster and Targett also deserve a great amount of credit for the recent run Long allows us to play so many more variations in tactics than Pelle does because of his movement tenacity and pace This run also demonstrates our deeper squad giving us the ability to maintain it with a number of key players missing over the last 6 matches

now 35 Games - 19 Clean Sheets almost 55% Half a season of clean sheets in less than one season of games! and all in the Premier league

Schniedrlin in danger of missing out on the Euros surely he would have made them playing regularly for Saints? Can we buy him back in the summer?

Chelsea just hitting form in time to come to St Mary's next? Hazard and Fiberglas back on form? Or are Newcastle just that bad?

A bit like Matt Oakley and Steve Williams you only notice their difference when they are not there For his age I think he is improving a lot stronger now and I hope there is more to come

Long is now become one of our most effective players

We need some changes now

So far the ref has booked two saints players and allowed three Swansea ones to get away with worse and has disallowed a perfectly good Saints goal why do we not get home biased refs like this.?

Now Clasie booked for nothing too

Goal was perfectly ok now did that keeper have it under full control

Romeu now needs to be careful pelle put him in trouble

Yoshida is an international good player and great club servant he plays in any position asked from him and never makes a fuss when not selected there are few players of his calibre that would accept this We need to be grateful he is loyal and support him and help his confidence under difficult circumstances rather than continuously blame him Ron sees this clearly and I trust his judgement

We are staying up We are staying up For those of us who were present in our hanging on days 37 points was always the target and we usually got there in the last one to three games Although I do believe there was one team who went down on 37 so could be in trouble if we contrive to lose 13 games in a row!

McQueen? Or Seager? This thread is about Sam I think not Ryan

Do you actually support Saints? that comment is disgraceful !

Man U in our sights now lets hope they keep LVG for a while!

37 points we are staying up
