10th is the best position Saints can get this season unless Salisu is a brilliant signing as the central defence is still weak without leadership and will continue to concede soft goals.

None of them are good enough. Saints have not had a decent centre half since Fonte and VVD left in 2017 and will continue to concede soft goals without a defensive leader of the defence.

Only allowed to get one player on loan from a club.

It would be nice but I know unrealistic if Saints signed or got in on loan; Centre half who could lead/organise defence as Saints have been lacking this since 2017. Central midfielder as Romeo will get suspended and Ward-Prowse can't play every game. Wide/creative midfielder to replace the outgoing Boufal as Saints lack creativity in this area. A decent keeper. That's all

With our friend Mike Dean on VAR i'm not sure we'd get away with that

Decent passer of the ball and better than Hojberg with that aspect of the game but shooting is similar. Celtic fans I work with rate him highly but do say he will attempt a dozen shots on goal from outside the box with only one on target. They are also not sure why Lennon does not start him more in games.

Might be controversial but I think Reed is better than Hojberg especially his passing ability. A year older but should be given a chance with Saints next season. I still hope Saints invest Hojberg money into the team as it would be a risk if Ward-Prowse or Romeo get injured.

Homophobia Nice

No wonder Saints fans have a reputation for being fickle and the home form is poor some sad hateful people on here.

Probably a talented youngster with something to prove

Celtic fans i work with really rate Ntcham and say he is a good passer of the ball although his shooting needs imrpovement as he will attempt 20 shots with one on target during a game. He will fit in fine at Saints.

Grant Hanley being injured is a blow to Saints as he is one of the few central defenders in the premier league who might struggle to get in Saints central defence. Not even good enough to get in Scotland team

If Liverpool are denied a first league title for 30 years then I will no longer be an atheist!

Sky need to bring back Dean Windass! He was quality

Apart from scoring a goal this season

Anyone connected to Liverpool fc

He’s right about a lot of our modern day what I’d call premier league fans.

Ok I’ll keep trying. You can’t compare Lallana with Solanke and Ibe? Liverpool bench in recent win v Saints, Lovren Keith Adrian Minamino Lallana Origi Matip All would get in Saints team at the moment I’d add Milner, Curtis Jones as well. Regarding fitness and players over 30 years old there are plenty playing well in the premier league, David Silva, Mesut Ozil, Jamie Vardy, Sergio Arguero, Fernandinho, James Milner, Joao Moutinho, Mark Noble, Jan Vertonghen, David Luiz, Pedro, Robert Snodgrass, Willian, Gary Cahill, Seamus Colman, Toby Alderweireld,

I think some experience is what Saints are lacking especially in defence and midfield. A player on the bench for the World Champions and Champions league and soon to be premier league winners is certainly good enough to walk into the current Saints side along with all of Liverpool’s bench and probably about half of their under 23 side. If you know your Saints history you will know Saints best teams have contained a mix of home grown youth and experienced players and included Channon returning Ball returning Watson, Case, Worthington, Jordan, Mills, Marsden etc

Is 31 the end of a football career? Danny Ings was injury prone for longer periods of his Liverpool career but has come good again at Saints.

Was never a big fan of Austin but he’s right about a lot of our fans though

Would love to see him back as he is still far better than what we currently have. Great player and one of the best I’ve seen at Saints and alongside Lambert etc responsible for Saints getting back to the top flight. Won’t happen though as he will join a club with ambition and much higher wages than Saints.

Latest fall guy for fans to blame. Happens to every Saints player here on the Saints web forum.

Saints will always struggle against teams like Burnley who play lots of long balls and crosses into the box until the board backs Ralph and sign some commanding central defenders. Saints played well last two games but the defending at Liverpool and Spurs was poor. So all out attack and hope to score more goals than them!

That would be great for a pre season friendly. I too loved watching Sampdoria years ago with Mancini, Lombardo etc and have been to watch them many years ago. Interesting game with everyone standing on seats and smoking weed around me and a pre match pint of Tennants Super in the Ultra,s bar!
