Our midfield is picking up their strikers and our forwards at dropping to pick up their midfield. At the back we have our three CB marking Giroud! No offensive ambition whatsoever.

Pretty uninspiring stuff. Hughes is a dinosaur.

Very poor second half. We are gonna be in trouble in a few months. Not convinced by Hughes still and anything he is trying to do. Poor substitutions, poor game management, poor manager in charge of average squad. Highlight was Hojberg, the player we’ve been waiting for him to become is now here.

If you bought a tatty old Datsun for over the odds, while someone is taking it for a test drive you don’t tell the world it’s rubbish!

I’m not convinced that he is any great loss really. I feel he has always flattered to deceive and not achieved what he could have. To get anything around £15 million for him is good business in my book.

I didn’t think that was too bad considering the enormity of the match. My main concern is Hoedt has got a mistake in him but backing Carillonto come on and grab a last minute goal to either win or equalise.

He had a Champions league winner medal before joining us!

Forget about the manager and tactics, etc. The simple problem is that we don’t take our chances. Since Lambert and Pellegrino we have had nobody who can find the back of the net. If we had a decent striker we would be top half!

In my younger and more immature days I used to ttake great pleasure in arguing with rugby friends about how rubbish rugby was. However, now I am a convert and love the game. Given a choice between watching England rugby match or an England football match, I’d pick rugby every time. Saints still just edge it over Exerter Chiefs though.

We must have got a new manager lined up, maybe Tuchel will be tempted with money to spend. Surely they can’t trust MP with the cash. They wouldn’t at the start of the season so they can’t let him have it now.

I've not watched a game live for a while due to work commitments but if this is an improvement I shudder at want went before. Admittedly only one team are trying to score through open play but even so, a little urgency and creativity would be nice.

Maybe the penny has dropped for him, the lure of playing in a Dutch national CB pairing every week, who knows?

I would always support a player Ina saints shirt unless they were a convicted criminal. Personally I couldn't cheer on McCormack at Plymouth, or historically Collymore, Deeney, etc. Most folk deserve a second chance but no third chance.

True ITK folk can't win. Posters cry out for a Guan or some other update. Tom28 appears with fruitful insights and folks start moaning. Personally, I appreciate what he shares with supporters.

Convictcolony got the code above. It's "imwaiting". Many thanks CC.

Go. Promises much but delivers very little. Too slow, too delicate, too frustrating.

in club Wembley you are not allowed to wear colours as part of the no segregation agreement.

Can't believe this forum is so full of whining "fans". We have possibly broken our transfer record again and instead of celebrating, people moan about no CB. Yoshi and Stephens proved us all wrong against Liverpool in the cup and will hopefully do so again and again until VVD is fit again. Yes we lost last night, but we didn't win every game with Fonte and VVD playing.

The bright lights of Barney!

Got a golfing friend down here who is a club Wembley member so has first dibs on up to 6 tickets for each event. I got in early before all his Utd pals start calling him for tickets!

Two Club Wembley tickets sorted but at £670!! No way I was getting one let alone two through the club. Devon is not really on the way to any club so not been too many games since I left Southampton.

Time for Radic to come off possibly. No confidence after that miss.

I think that we can do it even if VVD is out. They are not the same team without Mane. It's all static and predictable. Since he went to AFCON they have crumbled.
