http://www.insidefutbol.com/2014/09/30/i-dont-want-southampton-return-inter-striker-pablo-osvaldo/163667/ Doesn't want to come back apparently! No surprises there particularly as Fonte is doing so well and captain too! Inter might actually sign him as he seems to be scoring a few goals!

He is 29 wingers never age well!

lots of subs too usually 30 secs a sub is added

Damn Austin always scores against us

Ramierez out with a groin injury for Hull today! No change there then!

You are assuming Adam will still be in the England set up in two years time? His performances will have to improve somewhat for that to happen

Hammers score 3-1

Lambo on as the 4th choice striker

Hammers 2 up! we on the other hand have let in 3 all season with 2 on day one before we even signed our 2 new centrebacks

Koeman has got all our midfielders scoring who would have believed 5 already from Cork Wanyama and Morgan, that's one a game

Hammers 1 scousehampton 0

So far of our 5 defectors 4 are nothing more than bench warmers with only Lovren holding down a place the next best being Chambers with a decent amount of game time as for Lambert will be lucky to get more than 5 games worth of minutes in 10s and 15s all season!

Wanyamaaaaa

Davis coming on

Davis Gardos and Wanyama on during the 2nd half for JWP Yoshi (to avoid 2nd booking) and either Cork or Long depending on how ambitious we want to be 2nd half!

We are giving away far too much possession

66% possession to Swansea so far

just watched a reply of the Scousehampton Champions league opener Loveren certainly messed up for the Ludogrets equaliser lucky they managed to sneak home with a rather dodgey last min pen. Adam went missing again and poor old Lambo not even a look in whilst Sturridge is missing

So far Chamber has been faring the best of the defectors he is getting a reasonable game time and playing well in a new position at Centreback! Lambo will not even get a few minutes when Sturridge is back he is already behind Sturridge, Ballotelli and even Borini feel sorry for him he deserves more particularly as keeping his England squad place will depend on game time.

I thought Shane Long was the only one good at singing? So does that makes all the others singing wrong?

From the New C forum "This defeat is made worse by the fact that southampton sold virtually every top player this summer , lost pochettino , got a new manager and have had to basically start over again plus Koeman has no experience in the premier league. This was a club in crisis over the summer and they have just p***** all over us ! " This coupled with the abysmal Sousehampton display with three of our ex players Shows how important our midfield was and continues to be I like it!

Scousehampton look very poor and have lost at home to villa

Still has trouble playing more than 60 mins then!

On Bein sports Andy Gray keeps commenting about the fact 6 players were new to Liverpool hence there obvious lack of cohesion. He seems to forget Saints had six too plus another off the bench yet the team looked so together. All Credit to Koeman!
