Think right now, we're at about 14th/15th level. Two major weaknesses in defending and scoring will mean we can't be regarded as a top half team IMO. We do have underperforming players right now, but it's a struggle. Buy: Dominant CB to play alongside Hoedt, madness we've been left with one of Yoshida/Stephens/Bednarek as first choice Proper CF - Carrillo looks ok, Austin ok, Long & Gabbi meh. Winger to play on the right. (with pace) You get to something like... ...................McCarthy.................... Cedric......NEW......Hoedt.....Bertrand ..........Hojbjerg......Lemina............ NEW..............Boufal...............Tadic .....................NEW....................... Leaves... Forster, Stephens, Bednarek, Yoshida, McQueen, Targett, Romeu, Davis, JWP, Reed Redmond Gabbiadini, Carrillo, Long, Austin Also think we probably need to bring in another player who can play instead of Tadic / Boufal. Get to that and there is no excuse to not being top half.

Hmm not overly convinced. We should be doing better than what we are, but we have 3 glaring holes....CB, AM & ST. None of the options we have in those positions are good enough at the moment. Maybe down to tactics, but the individuals playing there are also way weaker than previous years. VVD > Stephens Mane > Redmond/Boufal Pelle > Carrillo/Gabbi The difference is that we can't keep clean sheets, and we struggle to score goals.

i'd expect it's Bertrand

Lack of strikers in there says a lot!

They’re all on Sporcle. When I was at uni I lost quite a few revision hours doing random quizzes! https://m.sporcle.com/search/quizzes/?s=Southampton+FC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Hopefully McCarthy Cedric Yoshida Hoedt Bertrand Lemina Hojbjerg JWP Boufal Tadic Gabbiadini Two things: Press the ball Get in and around the striker It’s easy this managing malarkey Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Supposedly he was willing to stay, but on the basis we didn't sell our best players, we did, he left...and who could blame him.

Losing Cortese and thus losing Pochettino Not backing Koeman Hiring Puel Hiring Pellegrino Taking too long to replace players (Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Fonte) Not replacing players at all (Mane, Pelle, Fonte, VVD)

Then I'd argue Hoedt was finally Fonte's replacement, and VVD hasn't been replaced. Just like it's taken us ages to replace Pelle with Carrillo....! And we still haven't replaced Mane.

Maybe he's a money launderer and it really doesn't matter if we get relegated. However all the board have put their jobs on the line by keeping Pellegrino past November. Madness he's still here, especially now there is options available that we don't even have to pay for!

He was awesome in the Championship, which is what he was bought for. Had a fantastic season Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Can’t see us suddenly changing system. It’ll be something like... McCarthy; Cedric Stephens Hoedt Bertrand; Hojbjerg Romeu Lemina; JWP Davis Tadic; Carrillo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Hmm not sure. Maybe yes because of his potential, but he’s not particularly young anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Tbf, never works like that. How often are teams largely **** then all of a sudden they put a run together and puts them comfortably safe. Will be worried if we need a point or three from the last 2 ...!

£10-15m atm. Probably wouldn’t get in any other prem teams right now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Crazy. Cash out has halved after today...! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Get anyone in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yep mine too. Up to a £60ish profit...tempting but we’re so bad I think you’d be stupid to cash out now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Promes was the plan B, the plan A was Walcott...! Shambles of a window Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Right now 1/10. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

No idea why this is a sticking point given he’s got a release clause. If we want him, surely we just meet that. £5m additional is cheap compared to the price of relegation... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

There is no excuse to not strengthen the squad. They should have been there to come in on Jan 1st. Ridiculous how it’s all come down the scraping around on the last day of the window. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Everton... Agree poor results for us tonight, but as others have said, win tomorrow and it looks much better as it's so tight. My larger concern is that we have some bloody tough games left, and the majority away from home...! 31 Jan 2018 19:45 Brighton and Hove Albion (H) 03 Feb 2018 15:00 West Bromwich Albion (A) 10 Feb 2018 15:00 Liverpool (H) 24 Feb 2018 15:00 Burnley (A) 03 Mar 2018 15:00 Stoke City (H) 10 Mar 2018 15:00 Newcastle United (A) 17 Mar 2018 15:00 Swansea City (A) 31 Mar 2018 15:00 West Ham United (A) 07 Apr 2018 15:00 Arsenal (A) 14 Apr 2018 15:00 Chelsea (H) 21 Apr 2018 15:00 Leicester City (A) 28 Apr 2018 15:00 Bournemouth (H) 05 May 2018 15:00 Everton (A) 13 May 2018 15:00 Manchester City (H) Not looking good right now...beat Brighton tomorrow, Stoke and Bournemouth, and that gives us 31 points...likely to need another 2 wins from somewhere atleast to stay us....
