Southampton’s striking options on the bench are pretty impressive - Armstrong, Robinson and Stewart |

I thought they worked super hard in the first half and maybe just couldn’t sustain it - O’Hare might be a bit annoying but he really pressed hard, as did the rest of the front line. I just think they were never going to be able to keep that up for 90, or indeed 60 as it turned out.
My impression was that those that came on when he changed four just didn’t have that energy, although that might have been game state related.
It could have turned out differently without the difference in quality of finishing we showed, and if it had done Selles would likely be held up as a tactical genius! |

There is a lot being made of GH's dramatic loss of form - as ever I think this is somewhat exaggerated.
There is no question he should have buried the headed chance against Derby, but I have just rewatched the first half of that game, and when we were going well, he was doing a pretty decent job, and in the second half on another day he wins and scores that penalty.
I also agree that Azon was good when he came on, but if the attacking bods behind him are beginning to stick stuff together, I think GH will soon return to being one of our earlier names on the team sheet. |

Reply | Another round of dismal lopsided spirit-crushing international qualifiers

In fairness, the likes of Wales, Scotland, ROI, N Ireland all had decent competitive games - so the dismal nature of the England game was not replicated everywhere. Isn't the solution that we need to have a sensible cut off rather than lose the qualifiers altogether? |

It's interesting - I haven't seen the stats but the sense I got from those who are familiar with Nunez's play is that he runs all day. No question he has the skills and the eye for the pass, but he is not going to stand statuesque and just spray the ball around. Really looking forward to seeing him in action |

They are also selling El Khannous, so let's see at 7pm who is still there
And before we become overly negative about individual players, someone remind me when we decided we needed Julian Carranza?
Fatawu and Monga look great, but Mavididi looks half the player he was a couple of years back for some reason and not surprised he hasn't gone anywhere
I dont disagree that they are more coherent than us at the moment, but I would suggest that their plan looks less ambitious than ours, so am looking forward to our team bearing fruit over time - I do think the "ceiling is higher" (fingers crossed!) |

It was about that moment that you knew the referee had lost his ability to control the players - his early actions were picked up by the players and they then knew how far they could push him from those early interactions.
It's a big problem, but given that there were a few comments over the weekend about how this is happening more and more in the EPL games, hopefully they might actually do something about it - no chance of that happening if this was just an EFL thing |

I think I would rather have Cooper (if we are thinking of fantasy swap deals) |

that should do it, although surely that is to be back up to Andre and Gomes? They will take some dislodging on the evidence of their showing at Portman Road |

I agree, but we aren't Chelsea, and there might be a trade off between this and another player, maybe in another position - who knows? Would be super interesting if we were to find out though |

I know that we are not meant to mention the H word, but those moves suggest that Boro are right to be confident about Hackney staying - West Ham no longer need the midfielder, and Boro no longer need the money
In other Sky related news, Brighton looking to offload Sarmiento and Buonanotte - now there's a thought (and not the obvious one...) |
