Brilliant as always Glen.

Interesting interview with Ralph https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11700/11615639/ralph-hasenhuttl-on-southamptons-transfer-plans-new-rules-and-playing-piano He’s quite a character.

Just reading the SkySports article on Sarri and the lack of changes to the Chelsea line up. Interesting to see that Saints are second in the most line-up changes. A reflection on our struggles this year and change of Manager.

I see Silva has categorically said there will be no signings in January so that seems to rule out the Cedric move to the toffees.

We've now got a decent spine to the team which we've been lacking. Decent keeper, more solid at CB, PEH and Romeu strong in the middle of the park and Ings and Redmond up top. Great performance today. Redmond, JWP, PEH and Romeu especially along with the two Jan's. The next three games will give us some great chances to continue pushing up the table.

I see what you did there.

I’d like to see an Ely vs Austin 10m race. It would be a super slo-mo but in real-time.

That he can’t make a save or a header whilst sitting on the bench?

Not a lot. Unfortunately.

Stephens hasn’t had a lot of defending to do tonight but he’s been superb in bringing the ball out and setting up play.

Now that would be funny.

Danny Murphy absolutely gutted.

He’s not bought into the high intensity pressing tonight. Just wandering around.

Hoedt

Buy-in to Ralph's philosophy or leave is pretty much what we're seeing. Hoedt, Gabby, Cedric.

Genk?

I’d be surprised if they can get a better manager than Wagner but maybe a fresh face is what they need. I don’t think even Ralph could keep them up.

My view is the same as when we had VvD and Toby. They're all way beyond our position and status so just enjoy their contribution while they are here and accept they will move on at some point. What a breath of fresh air Ralph has been. He's single-handedly lifted the cloud from SFC.

He was the bookies favourite to be the next Prem manager to get the boot before today’s game. This won’t have helped his cause. Awesome result. What a man Ralph is. Stuff of legends even at this early stage.

I had it in my mind that Ralph would have a couple of signings up his sleeve from his previous dealings. In the same way that Koeman, Puel and Pellegrino did. Maybe that might still be the case, I guess we'll know in the next couple of weeks.

So Ralph has said he know's who is going to be his number 1 keeper. Was coy when pushed but I guess we'll find out soon enough.....

I can only think it’s his attitude that is the problem. He must really have got up Ralph’s nose not to be given a chance.
