Anyone know if one can watch games on Amazon retrospectively? Ie can you play it back once it's finished?

It's just I'm working until 5 so I'm thinking - Instead of trying to juggle them, can I just avoid social media etc and then watch the game at 5?

Woke up with bit optimism…only to remember lavia was rushed back and is still injured ..so i reckon we will lose the battle in midfield.. has to go 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 and have a go .. we are at home don’t show them respect and go after them from the off … stu and edoize please 🙏🏻

Couldnt agree more with the formation, but can't help feeling we'll play to our weaknesses and go 3-5-2.

I don't get abusing any player during the game. Apart from anything, it's just going to rile them up and motivate them. Like Kevin Phillips at WBA away that time.

Lallana literally said that it put him off his game

I'd say that's the exception, not the norm though. Lallana has always been a delicate little flower and now he'll be making sure it doesn't happen again. IMO stuff like that should be saved until after the game if you really do want to give an ex player that much stick.

Not the exception. Didn’t Lovren (might have been someone else!) that went off at half time due to the abuse he got?

Don't think it was Lovren, I seem to remember him playing quite well against us. You've got me thinking now because that actually does ring a very very very very very vague bell.

Hoping we can follow up Tuesday nights win with another victory today. This is the start of a run of highly winnable fixtures. 2-0 to us Stuart Armstrong and Adams to score COYR :)

We let Romeu go, whilst this lad was inured - madness

Expand  

This decision is among the best Saints clusterfucks of recent times.

Along with:

Letting Fonte go without securing a replacement (Reed)

Signing Carillo (Wilson & Reed).

Forsters second new contract 

Going back further:

Delgado (no one admits to this, but probably Rupert).

Tommy Forecast (Rupert)

Not allowing WGS to strengthen after 2003. 
 

And a special mention from the Dell days to Dixon & Speedie.

He went off at half time in the 3-2 home win Mane match.

The only logical reason I can think of for playing three centre halves against a middling league 1 team was to familiarise the players with the setup Jones wants to use in the league. I hope this isn't the case.

Hopefully it was Jones proving to himself that it doesn’t work and to never play it again?

Is that a 4-2-3-1?

A more creative line up than we've seen for ages. 

Not sure about Lyanco over ABK/DCC.

How have we got to a point where we're putting out that monstrosity of a team for a Premier League game? 

Expand  

Other than Stu….which of the bench would you prefer to have in the starting 11?! Everyone moaned at AMN and AA; they’re out. 5 at the back is out. Yet still people moan. How about we give them a chance ffs?!

I know, ffs. Now I've posted that the team's confidence will be shot to shit! My sincerest apologies. 

I'd have CC, Aribo, Stu Armstrong and ABK in our starting 11, by the way. 

"Give the team a chance" my days, this forum is full of odd balls isn't it.

Where did I say ‘not allowed to comment’? I’m simply saying not a single second of the game has been played, so why not just see how it goes? If it’s shit it’s shit - but we don’t know yet. Not such a big ask is it.

You're right. You're right. See how the game goes, and THEN comment on the team selection. Clever cloggs you are.

Caleta-Carr is our best CB IMO. To choose Lyanco instead of him or ABK is just weird. 

Diallo can’t play with JWP, we all already know that. Selling Romeu looks more ridiculous by the second.

Fair play young Jimmy Morgan. Yesterday morning he unwrapped a new bike and a Buckaroo from Santa and today he's on the bench for a Premier League team.
