Who's place is he gonna have ?

a bit like on here before the three wins in six days then ! it will turn for them, i just hope its after Sunday !

There is a reason Redmond's finishing was poor, everyone knows what it is! I feel sorry for him actually, give him a run out wide where he is more comfortable and play Austin/Long down the middle. Why oh why you bring on a proven goal scorer and have him play on the left of the three when the one who is centre of the three is a natural winger is beyond logic.

Needs to be played down the middle so he is always in the box when we attack, he will score goals, best finisher at the club, its a no brainer really especially given our lack of goals so far in the League.

Where have you seen this offer please ? I'm an EE customer and I haven't had an email or anything from them ?

you can go back over the last 40 years, probably longer, and the number of good starts Southampton have made to a season are minimal. This season is no different to the norm really.

i wish I could say the same about his interviews !

we have to play this false 9 business cos our last real 9's are in China or Cardiff !

Everton have a good manager there.....lucky bastards

bloody hell you are augmentative aren't you ? ok it's Les Reed's fault that Long was ****e yesterday. There. Better ?

Of course the fact shes head of a multi million pound company that has nothing to do with Southampton FC might be linked with her meeting with the Chinese

Even by the standards whereby we are usually ****ed over by bad decisions over the years this one was a little bit special

I agree, i was a lot more encouraged after yesterday, even the interview clip on MOTD seemed better as he gets to grips with the language etc. No manager can legislate for an international striker having what can only be described as a nightmare in front of goal, i mean honestly Shane, FFS !!

if that penalty had gone to us MOTD would have been all over it tonight. As it is I suspect it will barely get a mention !

has he played twice for Denmark in the last week ? maybe he wants him fresh for Thursday and next Sunday ?

oh FFS, calm down dear, you honestly think that if they dont win against Arsenal or Swansea (most likely) that people wont start to get restless ? Of course the players will, dont be so bloody naieve, they have been playing a system that has suited them and got results and now all of a sudden thats been thrown out the window.... I'm just asking the question about Kelvin, did you miss the bloody question mark? - he is liason between players and management yes ? Therefore it would be correct to say that IF there is unrest from the playing staff he would be the one to raise the subject with Les and co ? sorry for fkin speaking on a forum Mr trousers

If they dont win a match soon the negative grumblings will get louder and louder, not just from players but supporters as well. Presumably Kelvin in his new role is the man who will go to the board with the loaded gun if player unrest gets too bad ?

you missed the laughing thingy at the start of my reply then

Every time I read about refs being corrupt or being influenced by outside interests my mind goes back to a match against Leeds at St Mary's in our Division 1 days. We won the game 1-0 but the referee that day - Peter Walton - was an absolute disgrace. He was beyond bad, the worst refereeing I have seen in 40 years of watching Southampton. We only won because Leeds were so inept that day they couldn't take advantage of some of his decisions.

Yeah right.......Redmond is a winger, a decent winger, he ain't a striker no matter what Puel says !

Couldnt agree more. To me his head is still firmly wrapped up in Portugal's success this summer, its all he seems to message about these days. Dont get me wrong, its understandable, its probably the biggest thing he or many footballers will ever achieve but Jose you are captain of a premier league club, could you give it a bit of attention at some point please ?

Wow, never saw that coming ! good on him tho

Just turned on Sky Sports and there is the snivelling little ****e climbing up the ass of Sam Allardyce now ! No wonder he has to use that Nivea face creme so much !!!!

I think we will finish 13th. Man City will win it, Burnley, Bournemouth & Hull despite their start will go down.

I agree with all these points. I get the argument about replacing the players we lost on a one for one basis BUT we are in Europe, it may not happen again for a few years. I honestly believed the club would not just replace those who left but ADD to the squad in order for us to compete in Europe on a Thursday night then compete in the League on a Sunday afternoon. Are the back up players good enough to step in if a regular first teamer gets injured or is too tired for the Thursday/Sunday run of games ? In some positions yes, but in some - centre of defence being the most obvious - no. I think the club have missed a trick here. Even a couple of season long loans could have made the difference. I fear we will go out of the Europa League in the group stage where a little more quality could have seen us through. Obviously I hope I'm wrong but I can see the same fate that has befallen nearly every smaller club that has gotten into the Europa League in the past few seasons befalling us as well, in other words 10-15th in the league and no cup run to speak of in Europe, League Cup or FA Cup. I'm prepared for a very average season, that way I can only be pleasantly surprised if it turns out to be good. As for the manager - do I wish we still had Koeman ? Yes I do.
