Lallana there too which is good, his return would be a massive boost.

Might get some clues as to what the real targets are!

Guillem Balague @GuillemBalague 5m Pochettino talks about his experience of last night, Southampton's big idea and why he agreed with Espanyol to move on.

Agree - he won the ball high up the pitch countless times and was strong and purposeful on the ball. Has to play centrally for me every time.

MLG - Please add Bowel Control as a stat on FM. Thanks

Don't see why he couldn't just leave it at the "Couldn't understand decision " or "Taking a big gamble" whicha re fair enough. The rest is just bitterness and come across very badly IMO. Nearly all new Managers bring their staff with them.

I have been listening to talksport for a bit and though his name was "the new lad".

The only pundit that botheres to find stuff out about lower Prem teams rather than just patronise them.

In good time, tomorrows has been decided already but Thursday could be an option.

I doubt they will. We have a decent representation of English players and are often linked with more. Plus, the clear instruction to push young players through has come from NC and most of those will be English until we start recruiting 16 year olds from around Europe which is realistically the only way we will make the 50% Academy players in the first team ideal.

Fair enough - no offence meant, I hope its true!

Talksport really is dire though. The presenters are terrible, chatter even worse, guests moronic. The only good things are the Selco adverts (its where the trade go) and dare I say it Stan Collymore who actually does some research.

Would LM rather that no messages had been passed to players? Will he also be annoyed when Bayern have a translator for Guardiola? He is showing himself up to be a wally.

Exactly.

No - he didnt, but thats probably what he thought.

He was on Solent yesterday and was disrespectful to MP just because he has never heard of him. Three years Management in La Liga is not to be sniffed at. He said this: Then immediately contradicted himself: Ok then. Maybe Paul Jewell would have been better because you know him?

Poche

Schneiderlin out of contract at end of next season so need to get that sorted quite quickly.

No. Simon Burwood @SiCamHd 23m Just finished interview with the new Southampton manager ... Spanish football show tonight on sky #sfc #saintsfc

Apparantly he has been interviewed for this and it should be on this programme tonight. Might be worth a record. Revista La Liga, 6.30, SS1

Bans are harsh IMO but the individuals involved should be held accountable for the 3 or 4 points they have probably cost us by hounding him out the team. Luckily class will out.

I thought he was technically poor to be honest, very poor passer but was extremely athletic and a powerful runner.

If you read the post I said that there is an impact when Lambert is dropped but seeing as most of us would start him and Ramirez like last night, who do you feel could come of the bench and be a matchwinner last night?

True - but from a wide midfield sense.
