Baird of the land

Ohhh nice, resorting to insults. The last resort of the desperate.

Is that the interview because really i can't see an issue with what he says. Seems to genuinely care about Saints. Hints at behind the scenes issues but so what.

Liverpool were poor on the day and we lost to them. We were much poorer than last seasons saints team(both defensively) and in an attacking sense imo. I'm entitled to my opinion that what was on show there wasn't a top 10 team imo but equally as i said not a relegation team either. Gardos may propel that defence back to last year's level(haven't seen him play so can't give an opinion on that) I'm not expecting jrod back for months and certainly months after till he might get back to last season's level.

Looks like a random number generator was used for those stats.Lol, they gave clyne an 8 for scoring despite being at fault for the goals and Bertrand/Wanyama 5's.

Still has to go some way to match the performances of Lallana last season for us. Looked like he has potential on today's evidence.

Class on the ball, almost scored. Didn't seem as energetic through lack of fitness or desire not to pick up injury.

Watched it numerous times. He eases johnson away well then heads it wide terribly. Long came for 12m and needs to put open goals on target. Davis's was a poor finish too as i stated. Davis is an industrious midfielder who came on a free and doesn't score many though.

It was. Maybe he'll bang in 12/13 more this season but it certainly wasn't a positive sign.

Still can't pass but he didn't try today. Gave the ball simple to others that could. For away games like that Wanyama is perfect, though i'd still prefer someone like Cork who can offer more on the ball at times at home.

Ok so before the game i wanted a performance and not to get hammered so i have to put disappointment in context. It was a decent display where we threw away chance to get at least an away point. After watching game, it seems clear we won't be challenging top 10 without top signings but we hopefully won't be relegated. So not great but not tragedy. Talk about aiming for europe seems farfetched given the issues at the back and the lack of cutting edge up front. Ratings Forster: 6, ok but save at end of 1st half was poor Clyne: 6 good going forward, at fault for goals defensively Bertrand: 7 good disply, keep playing like that and may be worth spending 10m on him. Not as good as shaw but good. Fonte: 6, hmm heart in mouth moments but not rank terribleness Yohida: 6, hmm heart in mouth moments but not rank terribleness Wanyama: 8, great at breaking up play, didn't pass more than 5 yards, can't shoot but very good at what he does Morgan: 6: Lazy, tempted to give him a 5. Felt like either he didn't want to get injured or wasn't fit. Still almost scored Davis: 5, Energetic but lacking quality , Should have scored JWP: Energetic, decent set piece delivery Tadic: 7, Bright & innovative. Nice set up for goal Pelle: 5, won some headers is about all positive i could say bout him Subs: Long: 3, can't head into an open net. Hmm 12m. Isgrove: 6, energetic, almost got in a couple of times

Looks decent lineup. Would have had cork in there myself but let's see how we get on.

As long as it's not part of any notion of getting rid of cork.

Morgan wants to go but we don't want to sell him. Don't believe we got good money for him either. Top class right back/centre back who likely be england regular. So we'll be playing this ready made England youth international centre back today will we?
