Just showed that our strength in depth isn't there. Interesting few days coming up...

A stake would suggest that KL will still remain major stake holder so be interesting to see how this is announced

My take on that would be, we are after someone and if we get him great, if not, we will say we are happy with what we have.

Wouldn't agree with numbers in the box. Still too many times today where there was only one in the box so rather than cross it comes back. Played quicker tempo which was good today though. Just hope VVD is ok!!!

Would you rather: 1. Replace now with a signing but not someone who is your first choice replacement as they aren't available in Jan. 2. Make do with what we have til the summer and then sign our number one target as replacement 3. Loan someone who is on par with Yoshida and then buy number one target in summer.

Did the crowd boo at HT or FT?

Spurs have Rose so wouldn't need him. Liverpool on the other hand....

Should be loan and permanent if he scores say 8 by end of the season

Any post match comments from Puel or any of the squad yet? Can't see anything.

Wearing the number 2 shirt already seems wrong

Was that a little more 4-2-3-1 tonight with Claise deeper with Romeu and Davis in front?

Has VVD and Davis started a game when Fonte hasn't? If so who was capt? I can see VVD being it as he is one of the few that plays every game.

One to make you laugh: According to Gummi Ben; Icelandic ex pro and current commentator says: Sagan segir að Southampton sé búið að bjóða 34M punda fyrir Gylfa Sig. Swansea á að hafa hafnað því ágæta boði. #Messan #Enski365 #Swansea Which i reckon says something like we bid £34m for Sigardsson.

I'd fancy my chances of getting someone a lot better than him for £20m

Sell him to China, let them pay him the silly salary and us the transfer fee. We must have been looking since the summer for his replacement so hopefully able to move soon on that too. Job done!

Good goal to be honest, more the defence fault imo. Once Everton game is done, we need to have a settled side, 3 of the back 4 changed today and probably another 3 on Monday, doesn't help.

Jan will be an interesting month as to whether we get new personal in. The one thing that I found surprising about his appointment was we brought someone in who didn't want to play the Southampton way, and have changed our style. Redmond was brought for example to fit our style, but Puel then told him we don't play with wingers so you'll need to learn to play as a forward.

One for stattos: What split of our goals this season have come from open play vs set pieces and pens? Seems we struggle to score from open play this season

So frustrating to watch, plenty of the ball but no troubling them in the attacking third. Boufal looks good with the ball but nobody goes to help him and then tries to beat 2 or 3 players each time. So many times we had just one in the box. Worrying for me is the way we are playing and how poor we are up front.

23 today so obviously a load of bull!

Very odd to change number mid season, surely a potential new signing wants 23 and that's why he's changed?

Wonder if we will appeal the red card? Wonder if the face gauge on Jay Rod will be picked up? Played well until the scored and then Boufal and Jay Tod were not in the game.

Sims between Maya and Jose? One of the smallest and most junior stopping two of the tallest and oldest memebers....

Maybe we can surrender the remaining amount owed in enchanted for him coming back.

gylfi sigurdsson went back to Swansea after not cutting it at spurs and doing ok. Don't see why he wouldn't. What can WBA or Everton offer that we can't? Luiz went back to Chelsea too....
