Poor result against a garbage team. Not for the first time in 2015.

Would've taken Steven Davis off after 10 minutes, he was that appalling. Tadic gave his normal half-assed, lethargic performance - honestly, I'm not sure he can even kick a ball hard. He's the most powder-puff footballer I've ever seen.

Massive howler from Kelvin and Pelle once again slow and off the pace and nowhere to be seen when balls are crossed into the box.

Schneiderlin and Mane stood out - a class apart.

Looks like a bad shoulder injury for Alderweireld, sadly. That could well be the last time we see him in a Saints shirt. He's been excellent but does appear rather injury-prone.

Still not convinced Koeman has any idea how to address the serious attacking deficiencies in the side. He seems to always be happy with the overall performance. His blind spot with Pelle continues to cost Saints points.

I agree, although I think the wind played a big part in the first goal and their second was very scrappy and a poor one for the league's best defense to concede, it's frustrating as that was their only 2 shots on target. As for Koeman not knowing how to deal with our attacking deficiencies, personally I blame the players. I'm sure Elia and Djuricic were signed in January to add depth and more attacking options to our attack. Djuricic has never really got going and whilst Elia has had a good start he's hasn't done much for a while. Long has never really started scoring regularly and Pelle has seemed to stop. Every team has a weakness and ours is our ability to score goals at the mo! Imagine were we'd be if had a few more goal scorers in the side to go with our defense! I think next season the priority has to be rectify this and ofcourse to sign Alderwereld. I'd love Austin and maybe a sneaky bid for Berahino, also remember we'll have Jay back!

So, RoKo should just throw on Messi, Ronaldo and Bale??

He can only work with what he has.

The wrong game to be missing Victor. Toby is not as good out of the CB position.

So you keep toby cb, play reed in mid, certainly don't play tadic in a physical game, roko does seem like he has no plan b just like poch

I think Reed may have struggled with Stoke's physicality, agree the worst game to miss Wanyama for, a shame again that we don't have Cork for that one, we should never of let him go IMO

Hi Guys
Just read that spider deal already done Arsenal for 15 mil must be a joke, if saints accept anything less than 35/40 mil for spider they need there heads read, when you read Hummels going to Manchester United for 45 mil and he couldn't lace spiders boots makes you wonder if these journalist know anything about football at all. I know these London papers want all the best players playing for London clubs but when they spread these stupid rumours trying to turn players heads at least you would expect them to get the valuation right.

Nothing changes. Remember when Shaw was going to join Chelsea for £5m and learn from Cole!

Spider less than Chambers!? Even speculation needs a bit more reality.

I can't see us selling for any less than £30m, wouldn't mind a swap deal involving theo though!
