That's all very well but who takes them when Austin's not on then? Is one of our other players going to fight Tadic for it?! Personally I think the manager should tell the players who the pen taker is and they should stick to it.

Too weak defensively I'd say. We need at least one other semi-defensive minded midfielder in there (probably Davis).

Bertrand back fit. Hope he starts tbh.

Every inter home game there must be tourists who go, some of whom must be English. There's no real way they can say you're a saints fan and not a tourist surely? Unless you're wearing colours.

I definitely wouldn't recommend Saints official travel club to get to away games. Not if you want the true away day experience anyway. If I were you I'd be getting the train. That way you can travel with lots of other fans, drink on the way and way back if you want to, and will have plenty of time to go the pub before the game. Will you be staying in Southampton while you're here?

Really hope we sell out the home games.

I actually think we're in more need of a DM then an attacking player now.

Not gonna happen.

Agree with most of what has been said. Change the system back to last year's and we'd look twice as good.

You should probably disown them.

WHEN ARE THE FIXTURES GOING TO BE ANNOUNCED?!

Which pot are Pompey in for the draw later?

Largely agree, though I think I'd put Cedric in 'Indifferent' rather than bad. Also I'd probably be putting Romeu in 'good' considering the price we paid for him.

Probably depositing the Mane money into Kat's bank account.

Think we're likely to get a bit of joy on the break though so pace would be a plus.

Fonte or Yoshida will make a big difference. Don't fancy Maya up against Zlatan. I'd go for: ----------Forster---------- Pied--Fonte--VVD--Targett ----------Romeu---------- ---Højbjerg------Davis--- -----------Tadic----------- -----Redmond--Long----- Perhaps harsh on Cedric but thought he was pretty poor on Saturday.

Big teams only want to play pre-season games they'll win!

Which paper?

Can't see us signing a 30 year old tbh.

Hard to believe that Everton would be interested or he'd want to go there considering the rumours about his strained relationship with Koeman.

Probably because he looks about 50!

Looks decent! Like a more direct Tadic.

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing his signings and management style.
