Better than talking about Oscar's dive

Southampton are in bad form.
I wouldn't get too lairy about today's win

Rtm no I rated him. Been saying for months he's part of our best team.

Hazard is the biggest diver I've ever seen.

Was Mata first or Shirley first ?

Really over the top from you to try to get people to try and talk about oscars dive.

Mata is one of if not my favourite player rtm. I'm just tired of the overreaction there is to everything little thing he does and it always overshadows the result of the game. Like today was a great win and all the focus is on him because he wasn't happy. And I've already made this point already, he's in and out of the side just as much as Willian and Schurrle, but Willian is still putting in top performances

If KDB had a future at the club then I would be more willing to sell Mata. Because he probably doesn't, I think we should keep Mata next season despite the opportunity cost of £30m and £100k/week off the wage bill, because we need 5 for the attacking 3.

Unless...we have enough faith to make Piazon 5th choice, which I wouldn't be against. 5th choice still isn't expected to be relied upon THAT much, and bear in mind we might go 433 for some games anyway.

Similarly, if KDB has a good loan spell and rejoins the club next season, then I don't see why he can't be promoted to the role of actually competing for a place in the starting XI.

Rtm no I was responding to TCP. Hazard is always looking for free kicks.

I don't care about Oscar diving. Diving isn't something that really bothers me.

The difference is the style of play that oscar and mata both have. Oscar is a more high intensity pressure type of game where mata drifts and finds space while picking out passes. When Jose wants to up intensity he goes to oscar. Can't have them both on the pitch either it seems. Oscar goes missing with Mata on the pitch. It's a strange situation.

We will only sell one of Mata/KDB in Jan.

Don't think any of them will be sold

We Won

Oscar MVG average just went below 100.

Mata deserves to stay and to play. His quality on the ball is ridiculous and I don't see why we would be willing to lose that. I've never seen someone pull the ball out of the sky so softly while on a sprint like he does. His left foot is magical.

Mata won't be sold in January. The summer however seems more likely, although I reckon we'll still keep him.

I can see Mata trying to force a move.

* no I was biting to TCP.

Rtm then you need to watch more football.

It was the fact that he had such a pisss easy chance and rather than an easy finish to take the lead he tried to cheat and wasted the opportunity

TCP I never bite. It's almost impossible to wind me up.

we've seen you Storm off plenty of times after everyone points out how wrong you've been.
