Watmore runs his heart out but surely Southampton will have him covered easilly? He poses more if a danger when coming on as a sub, Borini or Less for atleast 45 mins would be a bit more trouble surely.

Having said that, as if we will attack :lol:
 
Strong bench, don't think Defoe should be dropped he has been class recently and formed a good partnership with Fletcher. It is however about time Watmore got a start. O'Shea is a massive miss.

@flusheding will be gutted btw.

Pleased for Watmore

I'm not, it's f***ing daft. Because he came and looked lively against a tiring team four goals to the good? With Lens, Defoe and Borini on the bench? He's trying to send a message out. But it's foolish.

To be fair though, I'm far more concerned about the fact we have picked the most immobile midfield I've ever seen. Where's Seb? Is he injured? f***ing Toivonen. Fuck me.
