Don't agree - Saints are playing with far more spirit and intent, and have been unlucky, than under Martin's mindless methods. Do agree that we haven't got the squad and it's mainly SR's fault. It might not seem like it but It's getting better, cheer up! |

Sulemana was the best Saints player on the pitch last night. Credit where credit's due. He had the Utd right-back on toast most of the game. It shows he can perform to Prem standards even though he was probably showcasing.
Utd can compete with any team on their day, as shown recently against Liverpool and Man City, but Saints were the dominant team in the first half and frankly should have gone in at the break two or three goals to the better. Yet we just haven't got the players or the consistency or the killer instinct to compete at this level. Last night's first half at least showed what is possible - which has to be encouraging, to some extent, to me at least.
Juric has changed Sulemana in a few games and credit has to go to Juric as well - a proper manager showing what we've missed this season.
Sulemana's performance was genuinely exciting and if he can continue that in a Saints shirt that's brilliant. OK, he hasn't proved his consistency yet, and needs to get his head sorted out, but if we lose him, it'll be a very long time before we find a better player. Edozie is half the player.
Saints were terrific in the first half last night but were effectively doomed once Dibling had to go off and this handed over the impetus to Utd, particularly Amad who KWP just couldn't cope with. We should have doubled up on that side, Taylor would have been a better option in that position with KWP or Manning moved up. [Post edited 17 Jan 9:38]

Backs against the wall second half, especially when Dibling was taken off - debilitating any outlet whilst Suleman was less effective. Still, gallant effort until the 80th minute then with a combination of bad luck and great play by Amad, we subsided. Nevermind spose that's 40 points for me in the BBC predictions league.

Wow, best we've played all season . Really taken it to United and actually look like a prem team. Sulemana and Dibling having superb games. We should be a couple of goals up at least. Amazing run by Sule in 34th minute but he couldn't finish it off. Should think his value's gone up about 5 million on that first half alone. All the team playing well. Shock horror! |

I'd be very worried if it was Onuachu and not Fernandes. |

KWP playing RWB and Manning left backish/Left middish. Bit of a muddled formation. Sulemana putting in a shift - clearly wants to leave! [Post edited 12 Jan 16:47]
