Early days but could you see the changes with MP tonight?

I'm am absolutely staggered no one has tried to buy Morgan . He is the complete centre midfielder and is a different class.

 

 

Saints don't sell players they want to keep and even if they did the prices wouldn't be cheap.

 

Perhaps some "top" clubs eyeing our talent thought we'd go down and have to have a fire sale.

I was at work list night so just watched the game now, the only discernible difference I could see was Gully & Puncheon swapping flanks on a regular basis, and Gaston looked fired up needs to keep that level of performance up.Other than that it was what has become a typical Nigel Adkins game against the higher opposition. Good sixty minutes high pressing game, then we start to run out of gas & drop deeper, and end up hanging on for a result. Time will tell, but at least there was no drop of from the players which I'd feared. As far as I'm concerned the jury is still out on Pochettino, he now has his chance & time will tell. Here's hoping he is all Cortese hopes he is.

I'm worried about the higher defensive line we tried to play, we got un-done by it in the half by Anichebe and they would have scored from this if wasn't for a very very good save from Boruc and a complete hash by Jelavic. Both chances were because we left a lot of space for the pacey Anichebe to run into and we don't have the centre backs who can get back.

 

Fonte isn't much quicker and from what I understand neither is Forren so this high line is a big risk, especially against teams who can pick a better through ball than Everton. L

 

Liked the extra pressing but we did burn out and we showed that we need more quality options for the front 4.

 

Really though it was an Adkins team, playing the way we have played under him. Even MP recognised this.
