Gaston looked absolute class today

Needs to learn to tackle.

[Ziggy]

We dominated for the first 55 minutes and didn't for the last 35. So in my opinion we played better without him. Having said that he did look better than I was expecting.

Gaston plays better in a deeper position like he does for Uruguay.

 

I would have to agree. He needs to play in the middle. How you get him and Lallana into the same side I don't know.

Agreed, there were times yesterday when I thought he looked as good as he has all season -so far.

 

But his style is too much like Lallana's and he's too easily shoved off the ball, and though his passing can be a bit " hit and miss" I was encouraged - despite the bad result.

Gaston needs to play in front of morgan and Wanyama. Really do think Cork, for all his energy, does not offer the strengh Wanyama has which served us reach the heights we scaled earlier

Its funny how two fans can watch the same game and yet draw entirely different conclusions from it.

 

My two cents is that Jack Cork was right up there with Lallana as our MOTM yesterday. Indeed at times during the first half I was starting to wonder if 'Woy' might be thinking that he should have included another Saints player in his next squad.

Would like too see more of Ramirez in for Lambert. Try a front three of Jay, Lallana and Ramirez all with freedom to roam. After all we have nothing to lose now.

Well plenty of you lot think dropping Steve Davis and playing Gaston Rameirz in his place is the answer to our problems, and he was given 45 minutes yesterday to prove if that theory has any real merit. It seems to me that GR tried his utmost to impose himself upon the game, and he had a few nice touches too, but he also gave the ball away too often as well. A microcosm of his entire time here you might say.

 

Overall I feel on this evidence even his most ardent fan would struggle to argue he improved us during the second half - indeed we lost control of the midfield again did we not?

 

We were better before he came on; the plan backfired.

 

To me yesterday was his last chance.
