Claise doing some running already. Looking very lively.

Free header for Giroud.

Koeman is like a different person this season.

We're gonna get dicked. Really confused...... Cedric injured, yet Yoshida, who generally shares the RB slot is benched, and Cuco is in? Why persist with big Vic? The squad does look weak these days.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. Essentially there is no pathway at the moment. Perhaps the current crop of youngsters simply aren't good enough.

I like him. Moves the ball quickly and intelligently. Actually looks for forward passes. Would like to see him form a partnership with Romeu.

You seemed to be in the press a lot this time last year, and in the Summer. What was that comment about our plan to be poised to take one of the CL spaces in the event that any of the traditional big-boys fall away? Not being negative....would just love to know your thinking on that plan right now?

Well thats about the most positive change we can make given the team we have.

Looking much better when we move the ball quickly. Couple of nice touches and passes from Claise. Would like to see us with a really mobile front man though.

This is one of my biggest concerns. Big Vic looks disinterested and can't pass; Romeu looks lively, snappy, keeps things neat and tidy and has a shot on him. Would much prefer a Romeu-Clasie pair at DM.

Watching on a stream. We've played quite well in patches - genuinely looked good. Just simply awful defending for both goals. Really poor. That has to impact confidence and belief. An of course the other problem we've got is that we don't have anyone who can change a game coming off the bench.

What happened to our solid defence? This seasone really is shaping up into a poor one.

Very very poor.

In the Italian press. http://m.calcionews24.com/calciomercato-chelsea-ultimissime-pelle-mourinho-southampton-470514.html Surely not? Getting into the silly season.

Why do it in January? So we get half a season out of a goalscoring forward, rather than relying on an apparently injured Pelle, a crocked J-Rod and $hLong. And so possibly push back into and stay in the top 10. Plus it gives him plenty of time to settle, get used to the team and so start next season firing on all cylinders. And lets get Chambers too......immediate competition for RB, and perhaps the long term replacement for Fonte. C'mon Big Kat: chequebook time!

If he is available for £8M we should pile in.

Surely he can't be on crazy money?

Calum Chambers being linked with Everton. Worth a look?

Gazza with some tasty saves!

Way too much hoof.

That'll be the fella. Many thanks for not mentioning my laziness!! For some reason I remember him as being half-decent. But 8 appearances....guess not!

Graham Potter, who manages in Sweden is in the frame to replace him. Is this the same Graham Potter who turned out for us a few times in the Jones era?

Quite pleased that I got in first actually!

Young keeper? Spurs? I wonder if anyone wants to forecast how good he'll be?

Sounds interesting. Care to provide some more detail?
