HOME TO MAN UNITED

Can Saints get a decent result?

Is Gabbiadini fit? I see he wasn't even on the bench at Middlesbrough

Not sure about his fitness, seems to be fit according to Puel who spoke about injuries and didn't mention Gabba. With a bit of luck will see Caceres but suspect Stephens will be back in. Mourinho is bound to rest a few so a real chance if we get after them, no way will they want to battle it out but would be surprised if we played it that way. Think we might actually win this one. 2 - 0

I see Southgate was at Middlesbrough, I bet Stephens wasn't too happy that Puel chose that game to leave him out and he didn't get the chance to make an impression

will write more later but
another game at home without a win.
another game at home without a goal
another game at home when cannot score from the penalty spot.
another game at home where Tadic is awful yet left on the pitch for 90 minutes,
another game at home where football was boring, yet Puel refuses to change his system
another game at home where Puel takes off Gabbadini when any other clued up manager as opposed clueless claude would put on a striker alongside him.

Positives were Stephens had a good second half, for me weak in first half and got bullied but stepped up in second half. Targett had a good game at left back good to see him back, Forster caught a cross. Plus only one more game to sit through.
Before game said if we finish 8th with 50 points and cup final could not sack Puel but then you go and watch more boring negative football and you realise the guy will not change. Despite not scoring in 4 games on the run at home not attempt to go 442, or drop Tadic to play 2 strikers.

Long seemingly out now with broken toe, Bertrand didn't feel well before game, fed up playing I think.

Redmond was decent first half absolutely dire in second half, no idea what was said to make him go form good to awful

Thanks Matty. As you said mate, only one to go.

Thanks Matty. I'll have to sort out your pay for your season's reporting duties!!

if the football carries on as it is Saints should pay the fans who sit through and watch this
