What were they doing yesterday, up to the end of the press conference, which finished at 3:30pm?

I think they trained yesterday, but only after the 3pm press conference, which is getting on for 48 hours since the Spurs game nonetheless.

Looks like a hybrid approach to me... Less faffing around but still too soon to shake off the Russball 'automatisms'

Commentator: "Southampton will be disappointed as they'll have been working on this more compact shape in training the last couple of days" 😂😂😂

We did a long goal kick! (Lost possession though...) And promptly conceded.... Now THAT's why we should play out from the back!

Except for the 2 goals we scored against the same team a couple of weeks ago...?

Yep... Two borderline offside decisions so far, both going to the scousers...

FFS

The Liverpool player ran into Dibling there, didn't he?

A rubbish pass backwards would've been worse... #progress

Great move.... Started by a Bednarek long ball out of defence... But Dibling should do better with that

Can't expect players that take 2 days off a week and don't do 'bust a gut' training to do stuff like run around FFS....

And it didn't lead to a Liverpool goal... Strange that...

100 times better than Russball (i.e. passing it to a Liverpool player) 😉

Rusk out!

"Bree preferred to Walker-Peters" accordingly to the Sky 'tator

Ah...The trusty "took a knock" line just as we approach a transfer window... Good job I'm not an old cynic otherwise I'd be reading things into that that aren't there...

Source?

Only available on the Saints App at the moment I think. One thing that did concern me somewhat is that he said he hasn't had chance to speak to the players much about tomorrow's game yet, and the first training session he's got with them appears to be 'now', almost 48 hours after the game on Sunday. F*** knows who thought it was a good idea to stick with giving the players yesterday off, and seemingly nothing happening between the players and caretaker coach this morning either.... Hopefully the new guy (or lady) arrives with a consignment of rods of iron to get these players back into shape...

Rusk came across really well in the press conference FWIW
