If I read it correct. According to http://www.transferleague.co.uk/southampton/english-football-teams/southampton-transfers We are currently running at a £30 million loss from player sales alone since we got back in the Premiership despite all the expensive sales. Unfortunately our most high profile signings (Ramirez and Osvaldo) have not paid off (someone made a mistake somewhere) and we are being punished for that now.

This is the kind of thread that should have started tomorrow morning. Or maybe the day after.

Not sure what you are taking, but tell the nurse to pass some my way.

Yes it's a bit embarrassing how West Brom and Everton have both been standing firm. It'll be even more embarrassing if they keep hold of their two.

Koeman just can't see it. He thinks we are good. He can't see where there are problems.

He seems to have lost a bit of pace, a bit of alertness. Always seems the wrong side of the defender. But then a lot of his mates have been sold. All of them, in fact.

JWP is set up to fail. He's given a big role in the team, that doesn't fit him (creative central mid) and expected to delivery despite his age. Koeman should have played Tadic from the start.

Koeman's fault again. That and too many new/inexperienced players. No-one in there capable of taking the game by the scruff of the neck. Can't expect JWP to do that.

Same reason as any player. Money. If we offer him more than Celtic.

We are weaker and have more games to play. So what went wrong with the tramsfer policy?

Oh ref. Put us out of our misery please!

2 mins

4 mins

Pelle down.

8 mins. Just feels too late..

10 mins to save everything we worked for last season.

Grim. Just grim viewing. Time runming out just to try and get extra time.

Ref oblivious. They should be down to 10 by now. So much deliberate foul play and time wasting.

Pass it into the keepers hands as usual.. ok.

Just cant understand the formation. 45 minutes wasted on the first half.

Have we had more than one shot on target today?

Need to focus on staying up with this squad.

Targett... off target

I think he just genuinely cant see what is wrong.

When the season started falling apart last year i seem to recall koeman couldnt see what was wrong. We persisted with Pelle up front every match by himself regardless of a poor spell of form he was going through. Again tonight he seems unable to see what is wrong and change it.
