Grant Holts Moustache

Palmer asked to leave because he didn't get the promise of more game time he was after. That's from Guradiola too. He is no victim, just a young player who thought he was ready to play regularly.

He came from Colney...

He's lined up as a number 10 and Barnes has gone up front.

We can kill this off by half time if we keep creating opportunities like this. Stoke look awful when we run at them.

Last line of the Sara song is "and we signed him from Brazil". Any in particular you want to know?

I thought the reaction was well over the top and really not needed when we were 2-1 up. Wagner has surely earned some respect. Feels like plenty made their mind up long ago and are looking for any reason to justify their opinion now. Yes the subs didn't work at QPR but there have been plenty of times he has impacted games positively and tonight was another. There's certainly been occasions where he deserved criticism, but recently he's got us playing much better and it's good to watch whilst giving us a shot at the playoffs. Should be the time to get behind the team and see where it goes!

I think that ship sailed when he joined Southampton unfortunately. The only way he would end up with us now is if it goes wrong for him in someway.

Really interesting piece here, can't help but feel we missed a trick in not going for him when Smith got the boot. Seems to have taken on a lot of Farke in terms of the style he wants his teams to play and combined it with the aggressive edge of a Paul Lambert team (when he was still good). https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/feb/09/southampton-record-unbeaten-run-russell-martin

His first game there since Leeds last week where he also didn't look comfortable in that role. Much better as a box to box midfielder with the game in front of him.

All those clear cut West Brom chances I keep reading about on here seem to have been omitted.

Only for a medical assessment which is fairly normal when a player picks up an injury.

Whilst it was a decent ball (with a deflection) to put this to bed he needs to do it regularly. How many is that for recent seasons?

Hojlund cost £60m and missed a similar one this week. Idah at least has it in his game to get into those positions to miss them. I didn't Hwang get into them.

Yet has only scored 3 in 18 appearances. Half that of Idah.

Ball was played backwards, unless the rules have changed then that's not offside.
