SW5 SAINT Posted 31 October, 2021 Share Posted 31 October, 2021 Not really a defector I realise, but it makes you think we dodged a bullet when Brandon Williams can’t get in the Norwich defence which shipped 7 last goals last week, what an outstanding piece of business the Livramento deal was…….! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiberalCommunist Posted 4 December, 2021 Share Posted 4 December, 2021 Bit surprised people are jumping on PEH so quickly. While here, we were asking too much of him. He was being asked to hold and create, and clearly couldn't do that. But his early games at Spuds showed a marked improvement, when he was given the one task to concentrate on. I thought he performed really well. Not sure what has made him go off the boil recently, and I can't say it upsets me.......I love it when a defector fails! But I'd have him in our team over James if his job was just sitting and breaking play up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 4 December, 2021 Share Posted 4 December, 2021 Probably the most damning indictment I have of PEH is that barely 18 months later, I’ve pretty much forgotten he played for us.

The chipped pass for Long to score against Vittesse showed vision, temperament and technique. Most strikers we have had since would have just wellyed it and hoped it missed the keeper. It is a big shame he couldn't settle in Southampton, but you can't blame a guy for moving on to San Sebastian and then Seville !

Tommy Mulgrew Posted 22 December, 2021 Share Posted 22 December, 2021 Manolo and Maya shining for Sampdoria; Ramirez left before the start of this season. Gabbiadini’s goal today against Roma (Mourinho, Smalling and Abraham) was his fifth in his last five games - one in each; he last did that for Napoli and Saints. Colley is a commanding cb and even makes Maya look slow but he is 29. More promising for Saints perhaps are Falcone, 26 I think, (gk) and Askildsen (amf), 20. Sampdoria play a reasonably high pressing game and Gabbi copes with it remarkably well and can even last the full 90+minutes after a game last weekend; he could have done the same here!

He has scored in every one of his last 5 Serie A games.
