Didn't know this match was tonight or I'd have had this thread up by now. Come on you Saints. ..

Well that was a pleasant surprise. Only saw the second half but we amazingly looked alright.

I don't know why I'm doing this to myself, but if we can win at Stoke...

You don't want it Smat. A nice CL free season while the other 5 (assuming Utd get the Europa) kill themselves to go out in the knockouts is just what the doctor ordered.

Puels tactics are easy to defend against.

Yeah true. Be better if it was a choice between 8th and 4th tho.

Another waste of a £40. Can't be doing with another season of these shit tactics.

We played the last 20 minutes with Shane Long out wide ffs.

Can't complain too much at being top half in the Premier league with a cup final surely.

Not complaining about that. I'm complaining about the 17 goals and 23 points from 17 home matches this season. How we've won just two league home matches in 2017 and only four in total since January. How we've had five shots on target in our last three games (two were at home). How we always look worse after making substitutions. How we finished sixth last season and are now four points from 16th.

Football's an entertainment game and this is the worst I've seen us play for years. At least under Nigel Adkins up here when he had a shit defence we tried to outscore the opposition and actually gave them a game. You mention the League Cup final and that's a good example of how I want us to be playing. We lost, but we gave Manchester United a really good game and you could argue it was decided by shit officiating. However, under Puel we haven't beaten any of the top six in the league this season and we won't do with these shit tactics that invites their players onto us.
