Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

A tenuous link to Federico Gatti from Frosinone in Serie B. "Chiellini with Bonucci's feet", His chairman has done a good job of talking him up... https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2022/01/19/chiellini-with-bonnucis-feet-southampton-rival-juventus-for-9m-bargain/

Scored against us at the end of last season if I remember rightly. Looked promising in that game.

Taken for granted by me as he's done it so often! 😂 Bloody brilliant hit.

Leaving the ground now and can't help but feel that was a missed opportunity. I know we beat Brentford with that line up but the shape felt wrong against Wolves. We had nothing on the right and Tella gave too much space away there. KWP had to start really. As a back 3 we look disorganised and we didn't have enough up top to retain and create. Redmond was diabolical and we are desperate for a no 10 who can unlock a defence. Thought Adam Armstrong did well when he came on and gave us someone who was dropping deep and turning at the defence. We also lacked urgency which was surprising, even at 2 down. A strange of mix of lethargy, the wrong setup and a feeling of a missed chance really.

Since when was Broja possibly heading back to Chelsea a thing (snippet from Sky transfer feed)? I'm hoping they mean at the end of the season not in January!!

To be fair, Rupert Lowe going into any room was as popular as a fart in a lift...

And we'll always look at their SISU takeover and thank god it wasn't us...

Screams back-up goalie. Whether that's to Macca or someone decent, time will tell.

Not ideal to have to play 90 mins with 10 men before an important League game but excellent resilience particularly when going 2-1 down.

Either Ralph's gone crazy or the BBC might've messed up how we're going to line up... 😂

Villa are now after Brighton's Bissouma according to Sky. I can see Brighton getting a Southampton-style raiding after Poch left for a number of their better players this summer (if not in January).

Newcastle will probably resist anything until Feb at the earliest so they can get the maximum number of new players as their new found wealth can bring in before any re-arranged matches...

And just had an email confirming the refund now...

Yes, I was asked to do the same with a similar lack of resistance.

I like the fact we're in a better position today than we were yesterday and I didn't ever feel this would make us one of the top players in the transfer market. That said, if we are able to spend a bit more like the Villas of the world when we need to and identify the right player, that would be an improvement. And I really won't mind if Dragan comes in and says "I'm not going to interfere as a rule but your goalies are all shit, now go and buy a proper one..."

If he would like to bring Dusan back as a fellow Serb, that would be good. It won't happen, I'm sure, but I'd love us to have spent even more on improving the squad by the time we play Newcastle to make them wish they'd played on Sunday... 🤣

Let's hope he's not the Danish Les Reed?

Cheating Geordies. Must be some COVID outbreak if they can't get a team out from this squad...

Fine battling draw of the kind we wish Saints would do more often in the face of some questionable refereeing. Shout outs to the keeper & defence, Diallo shielding and Long put in a hard working shift up front. Cracking strike from the skipper too, who looks to be returning to form now.
