Our first 12 matches - 8 points Our last 3 matches - 7 points We have a very winnable game next Sunday, but Newcastle is no pushover. Let's keep the momentum going! - we need 5 more points in the next 4 matches to be at 20 points at the mid-season point. Newcastle (A) West Ham (H) Villa (A) Chelsea (A)

We need to substitute about 8 players right now. Is that allowed?

not a clue what the lineup is going to be from match to match. have we had the same starting lineup more than once so far this season? no wonder the players look like they have no idea know what they are doing.

I am not sure exactly what I just watched there. didn't look like football.

also worth noting... this was published on the Tuesday before the Leicester Friday debacle. god knows what the ratings are now.

Leicester 73% | 27% Southampton Man City 77% | 23% Southampton --- Leicester 25(15) | 6(3) Southampton Man City 19(9) | 5(2) Southampton i didnt get to see the match, but i can i assume they took their foot off the gas - point diff meaningless in the Cup.

considering we don't get points at home, we needed more than just an away point.

something i hear at least 10 times from announcers during a Saints matches... "what a chance!!!"

We’re given gifts (Loris howler + 10 men) and still couldn’t get points. We are not a very good team, but fortunately there are a few worse in the league. This team has 15th place on 44 points written all over it.

how was our defensive backfield set up once Valery was taken off... was trying to figure that one out

didn't play well, but got the 3 points. We have been on the other end of that story, so this was a nice change. substitutions made all the difference.. we need pace up front. The Ings-Adams pairing is not working.

teams like Burnley? i am getting tired of seeing good performances against great teams proceeded/followed by dreadful performances against average teams. it all amounts to **** all. 0 points. it's a pattern. i feel like i have been reading the same exact game reaction posts every Saturday evening for years now.

Kane makes it look effortless.. i look at that third goal against Villa today and say to myself : "yeah, sure, right.. slightly unmarked at the edge of the box, just kick it to the corner of the goal, should go in.. why cant we do that?!"

was never convinced Gunn was better than McCarthy was never convinced McCarthy was better than Gunn not convinced Forster is better their either not convinced either are better than Forster so, umm...our goalkeeping in a nutshell? not very convincing.

I get the negativity. No Saint supporter wants to relive the last 2 seasons again this year. So to see the season opener play out like so many matches we have experienced in the past 2 years was depressing as hell.

we were link to a player that signed for £72m? define the word : linked.

interestingly Yoshida has played in 169 matches for Saints and has 9 goals

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moussa_Djenepo wikipedia already has his club listed as Southampton.

yeah, you could pretty much flip a coin between McCarthy and Gunn. I guess there is more upside with Gunn.. going with youth. I find it hard to get riled up over who between them should start.

Top 10 Finish 40 points by Mid March

we got paid as if we were televised 10 times..got the same amount as Watford who were televised 10 times. We essentially received the bare minimum on TV money.

Maybe i am only looking at it through red and white colored glasses, but can any other club claim the number of former players that have started/played in the CL Championship the last two years. 2018 Liverpool v. Real Madrid Bale - Started - scored 2 goals Mane - Started - score 1 goal VVD - Started Lovren - Started Lallana - 2nd half substitute 2019 Liverpool v. Ajax / Spurs - potentially Mane, VVD, Lovren (maybe) Tadic Wanyama Alderweireld (loan, I know) Gazzaniga (likely on bench) Pochettino (Manager)

meh. Liverpool are already looking for shiny new virgins to sully; we are beat up, worn, and all used up.
