We are good away from home as our attacking football is great for countering. Going for the 3-1’s again like the good old days.

Couldn’t break them down. We are a much more exciting and attacking team away from home. Its RH job to work it out!

If we get in a quality fast striker then it makes lots of sense. Must admit Adams is starting to look good now.

It was ruled out by VAR.

Would you sack Howe as it looks like they’ve lost their way?

No Bertrand has not been wanting to leave for a couple of years. Total bull**** on that one. Would we sell Targett if he wanted out?

Of course I wanted Ralph to be sacked as losing to City 9-0, losing at home to West Ham and Everton was very poor. The football was bad and the players looked clueless. If you asked Ralph himself at the time if he deserved to be sacked he probably would of said yes too. Glad he’s turned it around as he knew he had too. BTW I always said the players were good enough but were not being managed properly.

And Ings has scored the most goals against top 6 clubs. As a matter of fact 80% of his goals have been scored against them I’ve read.

That won’t happen this time as we already have those two player's.

Anyone away except the top 3, nobody at home unless they are ****.

It seems the assistants are contributing more as our set pieces have improved defensively and offensively. The substitutions have improved plus our overall formation. I doubt it’s all down to Ralph just changing the formation but actually having a good team around him on the bench and on the training ground.

Shall we tell the players not to turn up then? Anything is possible in a game of football so have some hope Maggie.

Bit like us in the away game against them when they had 10 players.

Im going to stick my neck out and say Kane won’t get one this NYD fixture. He’d get two!

Not Boufal as he will want to do it twice every time. IMHO Boufal slows the game down while Armstrong speeds it up.

Great team performance. Armstrong was quality and I will leave this here. James Ward-Prowse was the only player on the pitch to run over 12km in a tireless display. The midfielder contributed nine tackles - three more than anyone on the pitch

Take his goals away would show you how poor we are. Need to hope he can stay fit otherwise we will be relegated and it’s as simple as that.

I really think that Rodgers could of got our current team in the top 10. He has a team of experts around him while our Ralph doesn’t and has been found out.

Totally spot on. The amount of times the West Ham strikers were carving our defence was embarrassing. Any manager researching our team will see we over commit when going forward and if we mark Danny Ings and give no silly free kicks away for JWP nobody else can score for Saints.

It’s Tommy Forecast!!

Beginning to think a good manager could get this team going again. I honestly believe we have the players to do it but they lack confidence. I would drop Redmond and Cedric for starters and try to find a way of getting Boufal to become part of the team.

Heath at Highbury for me. The worse journey home ever!

Interesting thought. Why did you not invade the pitch just before it happen?

Well said and totally spot on. Two important things in this game, We are one day fresher than them plus Andy Carroll is important for them.

With so many teams starting to sack managers IMHO if we lost on Saturday I still feel we would not take that route for now.
