Who would take relegation and winning this cup?

Interesting you say that, this was from two months ago https://www.hampshirelive.news/sport/football/football-news/tino-livramento-southampton-injury-update-7577650 And I've heard he's making good progress behind the scenes. Always possible to have a set back. KWP odd one, didn't seem that bad at Bournemouth they even thought it might be cramp initially , back by Christmas should be possible

AMN hopefully won't be needed at right back in 6 weeks time, KWP and Livramento expected to be out even longer than that?

Missed some really good chances

Walcott to the rescue 😂

I'm sure he will and a season in the championship might help him get there, shame it has to be with us

Liverpool not even out of 2nd gear, ideal game for their world Cup players complete lack of intensity

Cameraman showing more of Jurgen Plopp in the stands than the game

Defence so easy to cut through, completely unorganised, can't get away with that at this level

Lavia not match fit is he , can't keep up with the game

League one goalkeeper

Leeds recent win there was due to their keeper having a man of the match performance, is Bazunu ready to do that for us?

As fate would have it we'll be wearing blue as well tomorrow, right at the end Adams flicks it, Adam Armstrong running through on goal.............

Agree mate, I think he'll give us a bit more backbone as well, been too nice as a club for ages need to upset a few teams for once.

Wood from Newcastle would be good for us I think

I've noticed teams are starting to announce friendlies for December before the restart, any news on Saints plans? https://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2022/november/08/west-ham-friendly-announced/

Where's Gaston Ramirez?

It's his wife's great grandfather https://www.saintsplayers.co.uk/player/george-woodford/

I wonder if he's read Ralph's playbook ? That was our Bible previously, maybe Jones will just add his own chapter rather than changing too much https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9075691/Ralph-Hasenhuttls-Southampton-Playbook-inspired-super-start-season.html

Also Walcott, I've seen his missed chances again in the highlights, has he got the weakest shot in professional football? Plays like he's wearing slippers

Probably fair enough if you look how we struggled against Sheffield Wednesday (but then they also just lost away at Chippenham Town so yeah bit of a cheek 🙄)

Historically he's not had much of a squad outside his first XI though. In this case - First game in 6 weeks no need to rest players , possibly also have KWP and Livramento back by then plus not many players at world Cup. - First home game for new manager will want to start with a win build some confidence - few days before Christmas wants to make sure he gets his fair share of roast spuds at his Saints supporting inlaws a few days later won't want to upset them with a cup defeat. Get into the 1/4s and see who we get, might as well make a go of it once you get that far.

Home game after a 6 week break, can act as a pre season for the manager , chance to give players proper run out and get through, few days before Christmas, school holidays etc should get a decent crowd in.

Remember it well somehow let in more people than seats , struggled in the game was lucky to get a replay , good draw good to have a cup run give the club a lift

You just know it will be Man City v Gillingham and Liverpool v Lincoln
