FIRST the bitter bit. Southampton frustrated us with the very same 4-5-1 formation we used to great effect before yesterday (and which Chelsea used to win in Southampton). It works, but we need more than one formation. Over to Sam, Browny, Neil McDonald, et al.

Secondly, one point and no goals since the good ol' Manager of the Month award. Stick that in your superstition theory.
