Pre match presser
All games are big, we want to go into the extended break in a good place
We will have a lot who will go away, and we want them to go away in a good place
It will not really be a break, some will get a break, but it is a brilliant time to get time on the training pitch before the last 9 games
It has been relentless, and will carry on being relentless
I am really alive after Weds, and believe in us
KwP will not be very long out, probably out for Birmingham, latest will be back after the break
Breezy was excellent considering he was out, especially at Anfield
I am delighted with those who started on Weds, just so disappointed with the result
Some of the moments at Anfield were amazing, we must carry that forward
The hardest thing is to ignore the noise about how we play
We showed real courage at Anfield
The feeling the players get when the risks come off is immense
If we when playing like that, it is all so much better
The players believe in it, and the next 12 games just need to keep that courage going
It is not always going to work, that is life and that is football
Some managers wont do it this way, but this is our way
We stand on the sidelines and feel joy and connected to the team. We have so much feeling for the players
When it does not go right, it can look messy, and getting the ball forward quickly can mean we do not get the 2nd ball
We had a team that went to Anfield and played like that. We should have scored
I want to be at Southampton as long as I possibly can and enjoy watching this style
Before Huddersfield, we were dealing with aggressive opponents
Getting 2nd in the league generated a bit more tension, we maybe analysed a bit much
but we have stripped it back, the players know it so we do not need them overthinking
now, it is down to being really brave and running hard with and without the ball
Birmingham is always a tough place, sounds like a cliche I know
They have a manager who is so good (Tony), his teams run hard and enjoy it
I am sure they are fighting really hard, and no one wants to see someone like Tony how he is
Mark Venus is a great football guy and I have met him many times
They are really committed as a team, and run hard
Birmingham are in a similar place at home like WBA, we must be as good
I am really sorry for Will that it has got to this
I do not like social media like this, it can be toxic and a cesspit
I do not understand what sort of human says such things
Will gives everything to this club, he has been desperate to play at Saints and has wanted this for so long
He plays a lot because he is a great players
He has fought so hard to play for saints, overcome other challenges, he is desperate to play for this club
It just makes me angry and sad, if I had my choice none of our players would be on social media, there is just no advantages
Everyone here loves Will. If he plays against Birmingham he will be great
He plays in ways that are new to him, and that is because I ask him to, blame me, not him if you are unhappy
Flynn is fit and back
We were really worried about KwP, but we relieved when the news came back that he will only be out for a short while
We have scored a lot of goals, but not been a real concern really
It is not technical, but at Anfield, our chances fell to really young men, but people do see their age
The experience playing like that at Anfield will make them all better
This is part of the development to manage their mentality, we had more moments at Anfield than anyone thought we would
I am not worried, because we were amazing for most part, and sure it will be better
