Should be 2-0. We are wide open.

Still learning, the hard way.

So they just need to hold on for the 1-0 now.

We didn't fall back - got what we deserved.

Front line mixture of Long, Pelle and Mane are so dynamic today.

Great attacking play. Just need to hit the net,

Wanyama in beast mode today.

Lukaku is also a beast.

Indeed, football is played with the feet not sticks.

So glad someone asked him - that's that cleared up then (barring a Fabian Delph style turn around)

Luckily the transfer window is still open so opportunity to get cover in for these unexpected early season injuries. Looks like only 2 fit center-backs for the weekend then!

Agreed!

Hopefully we get him. Otherwise we'll still need better cover at both CB and D/CM.

I know the club aren't planning any further signings and consider Clasie a replacement. But I still feel we need another experienced central midfielder. With more games to play this season we are going to need more depth even if we had kept Morgan. I'm disappointed that we haven't looked to further improve that area considering amount of money we made from the deal.

Or rather, we didn't have Schneiderlin's replacement in the team on Sunday because we haven't signed him yet.

Mane should have won this.

Mane's final ball needs some more work. Good positions though.

Great goal after a good passage of passing play.

Yes, I'll bank it for future use. Worked a treat. He still looks tired though

Mane looks tired. Surprised he's not been rested a bit.

Heheh perfectly audible Koeman. Good to see it annoys him when standards slip.

No point busting a gut. They have to score 5 to go through.

They have put out a seriously under strength team. It's a weird one.

4-0 over all. Now we can enjoy it I hope

As he says in the article, family reasons and wants to settle. No lack of offers. A set of circumstances for Eastleigh to benefit from. Tough time for him.
