Whoever said above that they couldn't understand the criticism of Redmond must have had a blindfold on. Redmond normally plays like crap, but this was extreme even for him. Pretty much all of his passes were to Fulham players, he shot straight at defenders several times, he lost a bucketload of challenges that should have been his and was knocked off the ball a bunch of times. Saints' attacks just basically come to nothing when the ball reaches him in the last quarter of the field.
With Redmond, Walcott and Minamino all playing similar roles, we've had no joy. There isn't really a case for any of the three being in the side next year (or even Tuesday), but I bet at least 2 of them are.
I'm usually unimpressed by Stevens, but he had one of his better games.

Agree with all the comments about Redmond, looks like we are going to have to carry him for some time. Good to see Tella on the scoresheet and Salisu growing in confidence all the time. I thought Stephens played well today with one good timed tackle in the box and he looked good going forward. Minamino tried hard again but is still too lightweight for me. Good performance for a dead rubber game. Leeds will be more of a test on Tuesday.

Didn't watch the game but good to hear Stephens getting positive appraisal. He's like Alan Hansen playing from the back just wish he was tighter on the defensive side of his game. I'd love him make a cb position his own on merit as he could become a bit of a legend if he just relaxes and cuts out the lapses.

3 goals in successive games is a positive but Leeds will be a real test during the week.

Redmond has passed its expire date, he is really a liability for tge saints. we should ship him out in this transfer window. this may do some help to save his career.
