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.

That has totally put me off any European competition for wrong reasons. FA cup now please!

One of few times I've thought Koeman absolutely b*llocked his tactics. Playing hoof aimless football against a team that plays aimless hoof football is dumb. They were probably delighted to see us play like that. We look half the team of last year. All that effort gone in a flash. Pathetic!

Absolutely shocking. Pathetic. Awful line up and played tactics they would have soaked up for f*cking hours. What were the tactics?! I can't understand. And my word can we not cross the ball. Anyway Norwich away....

**** 0-0 that every team has once a season. Hopefully that is ours out of the way. To right the team off so early is pathetic too. Last season we were awful at home to West Brom which was 0-0, second game. Clearly need Bertrand back desperately and to bed in the new CB.

0-0 and the most depressing match thread ever.

How long left?

Can we make a change please!

Get to half time and get back to 4-2-3-1. Not watching it it sounds pretty dire thus far. Caulker off at HT.

Not watching but was Mane's injury a bad one?

Come on Saints! 1-2 Pelle and Mane my prediction/hope!

Van Gaal just comes across as a total clown at Utd. Neymar LOL

He will not leave FACT.

We played poorly but we're still much better than them. Fancy a stressful away win and into the group stages....

Comic relief at its best. Never change please!

Think this will be a draw. F*ck me we miss Bertrand! When is he fit again?

He isn't going anywhere. So close the thread Ffs.

Agreed with this. He was decent against Everton and already has 3 goals to his name in 4 games.

Yeah no chance. We won't be selling anymore players.

Why are people still panicking the club have said he is not for sale and he is under contract for another 3 years. Case closed.

The window should shut on the night before the first game. Really should.

Well glad that has been cleared up. Sadly our best players are always going to be subject to rumours each window. If it unsettles us (just look at this thread!) then it must be really unsettling for the player(s).
