You can't call Fox a 'defender' that is an insult even to the rest of the names in your list. One of the poorest excuses for a player I have seen in a Saints shirt.....

On Sunday's - typo

Seconded - The Albion Band Can we bring back Southern Soccer zone Sunday's too please - or was that going too far!!!

Could you just explain why it's 20m? Who would you replace him with for that money. Are there any compatible players even available ? It's not about the money, it's about what is best for the team.... Forget numbers on a page u less it's 50m. Even then we have seen teams squander 100m and not improved... Spurs and Liverpool to name two.. Though Spurs are improving now unDee Poch... You need players and a team - money is - well, potentially worthless..

Frazer made sever mistakes last year and is not that good a shot stopper.... He struggles with low shots in particular....

Just why does RK tinker with something has been working... What is wrong with a Romeu straight swap with Wanyama ? And right back change ? ?

The weather might play a big part here.... Are our lot up for a wet and windy cold day in the North East ?

I happen to disagree with the concept of paying a fee for the privilege of buying a ticket. This means I end up going less....As the games are mostly selling out I don't suppose the club care and have generated another revenue stream for nothing which fans seem happy to pay for... That is the fans fault - the club will be loving it... In order to grow the club need a bigger ground now. There will be many potential ticket sales going to waste because punters can't get tickets now at shorter notice. The club are exploiting the market and squeezing the margin very effectively but the skill is in growing the business and becoming a bigger club, a more difficult challenge than squeezing a few more quid out fans for a membership scheme...... Big decisions need to be made quite soon on how or if the club expands....

Sorry 'isnt' Vic correction ...

I Fair comment.... Classie is no Morgan and would prefer Romeu beside of Vic ....A few said Vic was poor against Villa too but actually thought he played well.... Ours issues are dropping too deep in games. The issue is Vic it is tactics and we are left wanting in this department on too many occassions...... We should be looking at RK for this not Vic.....

This sitting deep second half is a tactic which Koeman needs to sort out pronto !!!! It is happening happening more than you have actually highlighted. Man U, Liverpool even Villa the other night to some extent and probably others too... We are 30 yards too DEEP - sort it out!!!!

Absolutely - you could not call that an assist ....

Some very dodgy scoring there I'm afraid. Vvd was excellent the whole game. Pelle scored but otherwise contributed little through out and particularly first half, Gaston admittedly was played out of position but was very average or below that... Victor actually played pretty well. He might look lethargic but he's actually putting a shift in..

You can hardly call that an 'assist' it was a pass which Yosh turned into a chance - that's not an assist.... Ok Gaston is not a right winger and shouldn't be played out there but he was very average indeed tonight - along with several others admitedly but still not any where near the first eleven ...

Disagree with most of that!

Why doesn't RK play Tadic on the left all the time? Proves every time he plays there that this is most effective position. JWP is poor in central midfield and particular behind the striker.... He was ok out on the right but hasn't been there since? Ramirez on the other hand is best behind the striker but gets put out on the right????? Wtf? Little surprise that both were ineffective ..... We gave away the pen because we stand off wingers and do not engage them. This is glaring Tadic is the worst offender but the others repeat this and just allow the player to either cross or run with the ball at our pen area. We gave away the goal at Liverpool by giving the wide player acres to cross the ball in with no closing...... ENGAGE the player don't watch them.... First half we we pretty dire, Pelle was on holiday for God's sake.... Second was slightly better. Villa were very poor mind.... Who was our new right back tonight? He looked decent!!!! ;-)

Agree he hasn't looked remotely ready for the first team as yet so not sure he would rank as in our strongest eleven.....

He's had chances - lots of them! How many more would you prescribe exactly?

I actually said it 'sounded' awful. Not 'it was' awful !!! Anyway, thank you for going on to justify my comments.... Obviously your question would have been good if only you could have been given the opportunity to ask it...

Not surprised at all to hear there were so many pointless questions and fans bugging themselves up st this event.... The amount of numpties who come on here before a game telling everyone why they won't be able to make the match .... Nobody actually cares, it's not important what you do or relevant.... Some people actually think it's important that they are a fan - it's not .... Only to you... As for women's football - and whether a comment could be construed as sexist and therefore offensive is wasted energy..... I have not listened to the recording of the forum but it sounded aweful.... Very glad I wasn't there to endure it.... So few people seem interested in asking first team technical football questions .....

We are very poor at defending deeply. Ref Man U and Leicester so we need to press and play a high line otherwise we will get stuffed....

Have to say I was always a fan but watching him recently and again tonight against Stoke he has been pretty poor....

Classie is so far short of the first team at the moment he needs to go and train and get games for u21s for quite a while.. He is so far off I'm not sure if he can be ready for a month or so - maybe if at all ..... Bizarre why he was preferred to Romeu .....

Very good points .... Koeman does struggle tactically when things are not going well. Also struggles with the right subs to correct the areas that need changing....Both areas are linked in as much as RK does not read the issues all that well on days when we are not in control. Same mistakes today as per the Man U game too deep and stopped pressing - very simple but RK doesn't pick up on the game's specifics and doesn't get the messages on the pitch to change the way we play when required ...

Well why the surprise on the evidence so far he not exactly that good!
