Saint Without a Halo

Or Cortese to buy the club off Gao then nobody could complain if he spent money!

It will also keep them interested in the cup and hopefully go a bit soft on the league as players make sure they are fit for wembley

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/durchschnittsalter/wettbewerb/GB1 We are dominating this since Ralph took over!

keeps bmnth and newc in touch huddersfield gone

And Kat did so badly from his efforts which laid the foundations for the club value increasing from the £13m her father paid for it to over £250m a 10 fold increase in less than ten years A nice tidy return i think

Need to teach the first team on how to see out a match Great performance and semi final beckons!

Tadic with six goals in this years champions league has scored more than Messi Dzeko Neymar Griezman Benzema Kane Bale Fekir Silva Sane Aquerro Mbappe Only Robert Lewnandowski has more Never mind Tadics 4 assist which puts him joint top of that list too! Selling him for 10m is a worse mistake than buying Carrillo Hoedt El Younissi and Boufal combined!

I He was a playmaker who put in defence splitting final balls when he had players of the quality of Mane and Pelle you saw how good he was replace them with the likes of Austin and Long of course he looked **** as they were not on the same wave length This is the reason he wanted to go he saw the regular deterriortion in our side as we sold good player after good player and replaced them with much worsel You only have to compare our teams that finished top ten with those over the last 2 to 3 years

Shows just how bad Hughes player assessment was given our best players are now Redmond JWP Bednarek Valery and Hojberg most of whom never got into his squad most matches No wonder Hassenhuttl wants to reasses the loanees Hughes let go!

Bring on VAR will take away full responsibilty from the refs so more will be given

You are correct I am old enough to remember a good Forest team go down when all said they were too good It is only points that count in the end not how you get them

This!

Much more feasible

Much as i dislike Gao this is crap there are much better property investments throughout the world than in Southampton And his money would be much better spent profit wise elsewhere. Also the Southampton council would bite the hand off a good investor in the city so no need to buy a football club for that. Do you really think he can recover the cost of the club that he paid Kat as profit on property deals in Southampton? No chance!

You mean what Cortese did and got roundly critiscised by many on this board despite the success it brought and the vastly increased value in the club Trouble is the gamble has to pay off after recent debacles on transfers can anyone trust this lot to get it right? Best wait for Hasenhuttl to decide on he he wants id trust him over the rest of them

Its not just fitness we seem to sit back as soon as we score and invite pressure we kick long balls rather than play out with no outlet pases start to go astray and panic sets in We need the discipline to keep playing like it is 0-0 and finding players rather than kicks into touch. We should not be under this sort of pressure from the likes of Derby Brighton Burnley etc

No Slattery Johnson Omafebi Valery Gallagher Sims Jones or Ramsay (and Hesketh gone out on lone to MK Dons) yet we still won 1-0 v united a very good result

Tadic would have flourished in a high pressing Ralph style of game by getting the ball in much more dangerous areas where he was always good

That was a Manu team coming out of an Eight win win streak not Saints!

Particularly when you are trying to out jump Crouch! Why wasnt vestegaard marking him?

Not sure what that sub was about Sims would have been better on the break Austin was a wasted sub he needs to come on when we are pressuring others!

Absolutely right as long as you win at home, ohhhhh

BEIN Sport

We continue are very kind habit of allowing players who havn't scored for ages to end that run against us!

Is Ings playing? has he had the ball?
