Frankly, that should be a given irrespective of who the manager is.

Gabbiadini is likely to be rusty and lacking on confidence after so much time on the bench. We know he can score, give him time to get back into it. Cedric's goal was bizarrely brilliant, 100 yards covered from RB to upfront on the left, no way he'd have done that if MoPe had still been here

GET IN!!!!

ffs!!!

hope we don't come to regret that....

great save tbf

Apart from Carillo, I'm loving this line up. Probably our strongest possible XI

interesting perspective https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/933312/Southampton-Mark-Hughes-Nathan-Redmond-Premier-League

I'm pleased it isn't. Monumentally underwhelmed by this appointment and if we go down, do we really want to be stuck with him??

This, 100%

This, x 10.

The Mirror is reporting that we're sacking him at the end of the season whether we stay up or not. Fulham's Jokanovic and Ostersunds Graham Potter lined up as replacements.....

What was the crowd reaction at the final whistle??

This is one of the Stoke fan's combined XI from us and them. 4 of ours in there, 2 of which most of us wouldn't want anywhere near the starting XI...funny how other people see us!!! A combined XI would probably be: Butland Bauer Shawcross Indi Bertrand Allen Lemina Badou Shaqiri Long Redmond

It is when it leaves us in a position like we are in at the moment. From a fan's perspective, I'd rather not be in a relegation battle than have swelled the bank coffers

Don't disagree with you for a second. The PL has become rather unpalatable overall becoming a millionaires playground. Until either a salary cap or a draft system is introduced, neither of which I believe the FA can do, I think it will become unsustainable and the bottom will drop out, at which point, given our financial management, we should become one of the more stable clubs. Until then, it's scraps from the table.

Am happy with the left but Cedric couldn't cross a road and Pied hasn't exactly set the flanks on fire....

It just becomes a bit hard to stomach when we continually get bent over the car bonnet by the same self-pitying and entitlement-delusioned club. It's becoming a standing PL joke.

Positives: a win and hopefully some confidence Negatives: keeps this arseclown in a job

I'm now resorted to clicking on here every half an hour in the desperate hope of seeing the news that he's gone. Please put us all out of this misery....

My worry today was he's just played himself onto Scousehampton's shopping list

Utter crap. Blood capsules incidents are incredibly rare as there are protocols around blood injuries. Eyegouging is detested in the sport as one of the ultimate cheap shots and again, very rarely happens. I played league and Union at semi-pro standard and a lot of the comments on this page are hugely ill-informed.

Occasionally......Guess this means Mope won't be sacked tonight then......

Get in!!!!

Play Stephens up front!!!
