At this rate he'll be gone in the next transfer window 😳

Why did we only sign him on a 4-year deal - almost guarantees he’ll be gone in 2 at most. Salisu too was only four years. Do we only offer 4-years for some reason, or do they prefer 4 over 5 so they are less likely to get tied down?

JWP is a great free kick taker, probably in the top 2 in the World right now, but still a way to go to be considered greatest of all time. Beckham is still ahead right now, and the best ever , I think, is probably Juninho Pernambucano who scored over 70 direct free kicks in his career (JWP is on 12 in the league, and a handful more from cup games)

And Broja does the the same celebration every time he scores.

Not how I remember it. If you read this from the club it sounds like it was all about Koeman from Alderweireld's point of view. (I can't imagine we would have got him otherwise) https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2014-09-02/alderweireld-saints-the-right-step

No player has scored more than 5 free kicks in a prem season (Beckham and Laurent Robert). JWP is already on 4 for this season. Which is only one less than the rest of the league combined.

I’m frustrated but I don’t think it’s as dreadful as most on here seem to think. Yes you should be able to beat 9 men, but the pitch was dreadful making passing hard. We were unlucky when Ings hit the post too. Redmond was ineffective, but we lost because of the defensive errors more than anything else.

No.

Another nice article about Saints under Hasenhuttl: https://breakingthelines.com/tactical-analysis/tactical-analysis-ralph-hasenhuttls-southampton-2/ Interesting that people are taking note of us not just playing well, but the differences and innovation between us and other teams.

VVV Venlo losing 0-12 at home to Ajax (only in 82nd minute too) Ha! We've been eclipsed.

Is it just me, or are we looking like a good football team? (which no doubt means we’ll go on to lose...but still!)

McCarthy Clyne Toby VVD Bertrand Wanyama Schneiderlin Lallana Tadic Mane Lambert Subs: JWP Rodriguez Fonte Forster Pelle Ings Shaw (5 of that first XI got bought by Liverpool )

Always thought David Speedie was clearly a **** of significant magnitude. Then he did play for us, and my opinion didn't change at all.

Yes please (as assistant manager/coach)

2 recent defectors in the top 4 of the Ballon D’or

In a heartbeat!

Knowing this club what are the changes we get the wrong Steve Walsh? (only found out from Google today the ex-Leicester scout Steve Walsh is not the ex-Leicester player Steve Walsh)

Did we buy the right one?

You must have been fortunate enough to avoid Gary Crooks for the entirety of his punditry career

Quite a few under23s but no Jake Hesketh or Josh Sims? Are they injured, or have I missed something?

Get in! I've been waiting for this semi-final since 1990 and Oldham and Roger F**kiing Milford.

This was spot on, I meant.
