Fonte seriously worries me now the shirt pulling thing can be spotted by refs from about 3 miles away !

If Tadic does miss a game because of surgery its a chance to give Boufal the full 90 mins.

Umm, ok, still think Jay Rod should have had match time.

I would be giving Jay Rod the full 90 minutes in this game, even if he is the only first teamer anywhere near it. He was denied a valuable 90 mins against Sunderland the other week, here's the chance to put that right. He badly needs game time for sharpness and to get match fit. I hope the opportunity isn't missed here.

Well Redmond isn't a striker but as the manager insists he is and will continue to persevere with that idea if I had to drop a striker to bring in a new one I would send Jay Rod out on loan to get 4/5 months of game time under his belt. That's the only way I believe we will see if he can regain the form he had before that terrible injury or whether that injury has taken that edge out of his game.

cant argue with any of that, although I'm sure some will. To let Mane AND Pelle go was risky, to keep Jay Rod because of a fluke vs Sunderland was a strange call and to rely on Long who had an unusually high scoring return last season was a gamble. We have creative players in Tadic, Boufal and Redmond, we have one goal scorer in Austin. Thereby lies the problem, plain and simple. it MUST be addressed in January.

Probably more to do with being a former manager of Inter Milan tbh.

Not a big fan of JWP, just doesn't do much for me BUT last night he was exceptional, the best game I have ever seen him have in a Southampton shirt. More performances like that are needed, Blackmore and Merrington were saying similar on Solent at the start of the Sunderland Cup match, but if you are only as good as your last performance then well done, excellent stuff JWP.

To be fair he said "Not For Sale", that doesnt mean they arent negotiating a part share in the club or investment. If either of those are the case they certainly arent going to make a statement as this point in time.

Does that mean Kenzie would lose her job ?

Great timing, the day before one of the most exciting fixtures in the recent history of the club, a game we should all be concentrating on and we get this ! Wonderful

Puel obviously wants Hojbjerg to start against Inter Milan, no mystery really.

never know which Arsenal are gonna turn up and we were unlucky there the other week. Its better than having to go to Liverpool at the moment.

JRod was a clash of heads wasn't it ? shame he could have done with 90 mins.

If he was close today there is no way he should be used Wednesday. Give him the extra time to be back for Chelsea and Milan.

i thought he was ok, I thought Davis gave the ball away more than him, especially in the first half.

Best performance from Fonte this season I think. Great point, well played, we are so so lucky we play these big teams when they are having an off day aren't we ?

the number of non Saints fans who have said to me today how unlucky we were and that they didnt realise we were that good has taken me aback really. its good to hear, even from Mancs etc, and also shows that we are on the right track.

Wishing you and your Dad all the very best.

It was as clear as a bell Kingsland Centre - first time in years, a little quiet. they could have bumped the volume up, but every word was audible. I dont know what you mean about Kenzie, she has a lovely voice, her announcing the goalscorer is almost orgasmic

i actually like that quite a bit, bet nobody else does a James Blunt cover in the Prem

hopefully that will do him the world of good

Lallana met him at Anfield, fair play to him for that.
