Early days yet mate. And West Ham have hardly set the world alight against a relegation contender in Newcastle.

Agreed. It totally absorbs all creativity coming from the middle. Can't wait to have a fit Clasie in the team ahead of them.

Romeu and Mane back in. I'd also stick with Rodriquez as hopefully he'll get better with more minutes under his belt. Plus we will be able to play more counter attack football and the pace will be welcomed. Fancy a result as Utd have looked somewhat ordinary this season. Will be interesting to see how they fair against an ordinary Liverpool. 2-1 Saints. Ever an optimist.

How did Van Dijk get on? Surprised Romeu didn't play he was immense v Norwich. Really don't understand why Juanmi can get any minutes. Am I right in thinking we've never beaten a Pulis side?

Did you watch the Norwich game? He kept Redmond at bay all game.

Yeah massive whoops. Its been a long week.

Stuck with us during the dark moments. Massive character behind the scenes and pivotal as our goalkeeper in the promotions. Leeds away I'll always remember. Sticky thread?

Thanks mate.

Well that was brilliant. Firstly special mention to Targett who kept Redmond at bay all game. Romeu is like what Toby A was for the defence last year in midfield. What a signing. The decision to bring on JRod paid off dividends. Now to relax and see the window close and injured players return. As someone mentioned earlier the season starts now. Proof we are still a top 9 team today.

He certainly didn't play like a player frustrated and wanting to leave. He is our number one asset and to sell him would be suicide hence he isn't going anywhere. He is the equivalent of what Sanchez is to Arsenal. Brilliant player.

My MOM and he was irerrestible at times. Won nearly ever header and his distribution was great pinging it wide into space. Best signing from what I've seen so far.

It would be absolutely insane to sell Pelle even with a replacement. He was brilliant today and the focal point of most attacks alongside Mane. Fortunately the media are talking garbage and he won't be going anywhere.

No Saints players...... GOOD!

Was really impressed could see him beginning to link well with Pelle which is a huge positive.

Played well today. Unlucky with a cracking free kick. Reading back pre today their are some pathetic comments.

Yeah he was brilliant. Been a long time since a performance of that level and given his fitness struggles am hopeful he can maintain that. If he can then that old 'like a new player' cliche will be ticked.

Never a fan of Davis and Ward Prowse in the same team. And agreed about the pace comments. 4-3-3 I presume?

Internet sarcasm. So hard to deliver but done well.

LOL an article based on..... Koeman shaking his head lots. Jesus.

Same. This is a huge game for the season ahead. I don't want a 2 week international period of depression on this site. A loss will be unbearable!

Can I just be clear in that there is no way we will be threatened with relegation. No chance. Last awful result (of this nature!) was Sheff Utd and correct me if I'm wrong but we thrashed Everton 3-0 after that. Norwich is a huge game for the season ahead. Win that and we have an international break (much needed!) and the close of the dumb transfer window. Then we have Bertrand and Clasie presumably fit which in this state will be like two huge 31st August signings. Keep the faith!

A must win after the Europa exit. Wanyama and Mane back in. And no more 3-5-2 it offers nothing going forward as the current full backs are not up to it. Stek Cedric Fonte Caulker Targett Wanyama Romeu Juanmi Mane Rodriguez Pelle Juanmi needs his chance to start. Huge focus on fluid passing we saw from last year and no more long balls to Pelle. Tired of seeing Davis or JWP offering nothing in the final third. 2-1 Saints says my heart!

Think he's being pretty honest there. What exactly did you want him to say?

Townsend please!

He can hardly be singled out but he has been incredibly predictable/average of late.
