Luke who? Was my MOTM today. Always looked a threat bombing down the left. I must admit I wasn't sure about him after he did little for Villa last season but he's settled so quickly. If he can be consistent, £10 million or whatever the fee is next summer would be well spent.

It was a great performance from Saints and a complete surprise. Bear in mind this team hasn't played much together, and even the lads that were here last season are learning a new system. All positive signs. Tadic is going to be massive for us this season if he can be consistent. Bertrand was probably my MOTM as he always offered an outlet and bombed forward. He linked up well with both Tadic and Isgrove when he came on. JWP had a better game than some say IMO but set pieces and running aside he doesn't yet offer us creativity we need. Tadic and Ramirez alongside Long and/or Pelle would be immense. AND Koeman wants another Attacking Midfielder! Defence needs sorting out still, we lack right back depth and possibly even another centre back, but we're getting there. Play like that every game, with more sharpness in attack and the more fitness that will naturally come, and we'll win more than we lose. 0 points, and the result is what mattered, but first game of the season innit, the season is Long. Oh, and **** off Liverpool. :-D

Looking ok now. Whatever the score today, I've seen positive signs that we'll be ok. Solidify that central defence and add a bit more creativity and we'll be fine.

JWP's set pieces are excellent. And he chases everything, and his passing is good. But he doesn't offer us much creatively. Wanyama, Bertrand, Tadic and Davis all look good. Morgan grew into the game. Pelle needs help though.

Ha, Johnson is playing at left back. Clyne is going to rape him.

Looking forward to this in a masochistic way. I'm pleased Schneiderlin starts, we need the game of his life from him, not a crappy half hearted display. Noy a bad line up overall, but woefully lacking in creativity IMO. Need another quick creative option in that line up. I hope JWP becomes the player we all think he can.

I personally don't think we'll drop a point all season. So I'll roll the six points over to next season and take them against Barcelona in the Champions League.

Reporter of the Spurs match report on the BBC website made a right bluff. In Pochettino's post-game quotes, it said that 'it is possible that Southampton will appeal the Naughton red card.' It's now been corrected...

The photo is all blurry except for his head. Weird...
