KOEMAN ON SOUTHAMPTON RETURN “It’s nice to be back. Myself and the rest of the technical staff had a great time there. “I had a great time and the job was very successful. I’m very proud to have been the manager of Southampton. “I don’t know (what reception I will get). I can’t change the feelings and opinions of the Southampton fans. For my career I will look back at it being a great time. “But I understand different opinions and different reactions and I’m not afraid of that. I made the choice to move and I’m happy to be at Everton. “The past is the past, managers change and players change and I think looking forward is the best thing to do.”

He's a doubt.

Youth players Harrison Reed and Sam McQueen pick their five players to watch from Southampton's academy: http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/10671172/five-to-watch-southampton-academy (My headphones have packed up so I've no idea who they say!)

Who will get the own goal for them?

The best thing about this game coming after last night is we know we will make at least 7 changes.

Or at least some U23 matches.

I fear Lukaku. (And we just don't score enough)

@scoutsattending: #saintsfc scout watched #Mainz05 4-2 #freiburg on 19/11....Yunus Malli scored 1 & assisted 2

The problem we have with Martina is that our system relies so heavily on the full backs. It's almost like shining a Bat-signal on him when he's having a 'mare. He was horrendous tonight.

- Redmond seemed to only realise he could take players on in the 88th minute. - Baffling how our best outlet in the 1st half (McQueen) was barely utilised in the 2nd. - LOL @ Martina

We're getting worse...

I would be currently tempted to swap a Rusty Jay Rod for a Fat Berahino. Please prove me wrong, Jay.

What a frustrating half.

McQueen has looked good so far.

COME ON SAINTS FFS!

Lovely pass from Clasie into Jay but took a heavy touch

Oh, Jay

Right back.

Yeah. I'd rather us take a punt on signing talented kids from elsewhere if they are good enough.

Maybe, but after Josh Debayo left, we basically have Jake Vokins (who is 16) playing for the U18's & U23's.

Lets get both Dembele's (little and large).

Spent last week visiting us, apparently. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2016/11/24/mads-sorensens-manager-confirms-southampton-interest-but-says-mo/?
