DEFAULTVideo: Three key points: Brighton v Southampton
Sourced from Mirror.co.uk article
Mauricio Pellegrino could be the next Prem manager in line for the sack
Show/hide article…
SOUTHAMPTON has been a conveyor belt for managers in the past few seasons.
They were hammered when they replaced Nigel Adkins for Mauricio Pochettino in January 2013 but the Argentinian justified the decision and excelled for 18 months before taking over at Tottenham.
Ronald Koeman was next in line and, again, did well during his two years in charge as he took them into Europe before jumping ship for Everton. After being sacked from Goodison Park, no doubt Koeman probably regrets it.
Frenchman Claude Puel had a strange year in charge last season, reaching and then unfortunately losing the League Cup final and then his reign rather petered out as they became dull and boring to watch.
Mauricio Pellegrino, 46, was in line for other jobs before getting Southampton but did not have the best CV, having started his coaching career alongside Rafa Benitez at Liverpool and then had mixed spells in charge of Valencia, Estudiantes, Independiente and Alaves.
Maybe the fact he was linked to Crystal Palace and also that he was another former Argentinian centre half and Pochettino was so successful that it tempted Southampton into taking what must be seen as something of a gamble.
This is an appointment that Southampton, who have made steady and impressive progression in the past four years, do not want to get wrong.
It stalled a little under Puel, below, the softly spoken Frenchman who could not find the right balance between attack and defence. It was a shock to no-one when he left after a year in charge.
Southampton are still struggling for goals at home under Pellegrino. They have managed just six goals in as many Premier League games at St Mary’s, all does not seem to be completely well among the players either.
Sofiane Boufal scored a late winner against West Brom last week, unhappy at being a periphery figure, the £16m forward made a point of going over to celebrate in front of Pellegrino. He was clearly making a point.
James Ward-Prowse and Nathan Redmond made the England squad last season and now they regularly find themselves on the bench.
Midfielder Oriol Romeu, above, has been one of the most unsung players in the Premier League but there is a danger that he could begin to coast.
Is Pellegrino pushing Southampton’s players in training? Is he connecting with them on the training ground? Can he find the right blend to push Southampton forward again?
There seems to be genuine questions for a club not afraid to change managers but it only works with the right appointments. And Pellegrino must prove he is the right man.

Man United star drops huge hint he could join Premier League rivals
Show/hide article…
Luke Shaw has revealed he wants to play for Mauricio Pochettino again after opening up on his father/son relationship with the Spurs boss.
The Manchester United left-back is struggling for game time under Jose Mourinho and his latest comments have only added further fuel to the fire regarding the 22-year-old’s future.
Shaw’s revelation has come to light after he was asked to write in Guillem Balague’s new book: Brave New World: Inside Pochettino’s Spurs.
The defender only spent a season-and-a-half under Pochettino at Southampton, but the Argentine clearly left a lasting impression.
According to the Mail Online, Shaw writes in the book’s epilogue: "He used to call me his son, 'That’s how good our relationship was. I’ve had lots of ups and downs, but when I was with Pochettino it was only ever up, up, up.
"He made me feel that I was the best. He’d show me clips of my games and say, ‘You could do this better’. Not in a horrible way. Not I could have done better, but I should have done better, because he knows I can be better.
“I think with Southampton he achieved the impossible. We were one of the best footballing teams in the league… I do hope that I can play for him again one day. And I think he really wants me to play under him again.”

Manchester United v Tottenham odds plus Premier League betting tips
Show/hide article…
The thought of Manchester United setting up for a draw on their own patch is enough to make the solid bronze statue of Bobby Charlton, George Best and Denis Law shiver and Sir Alex Ferguson splutter on his expensive red wine - but would it be that big a surprise to anyone who’s watched them over the past couple of weeks if they did?
Tottenham have a miserable record at Old Trafford, 20 defeats in 25 Premier League trips and just two wins, but they may just fancy their chances of making a successful raid on visit No 26.
United followed the bore draw at Liverpool with a defeat at Huddersfield, managing only four shots on target and one goal over 180 minutes, while Spurs have faced the same opponents in two of their last three games, putting four goals past the pair of them.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side are 14/5 with United 13/10 and the draw available at 5/2.
They had mixed fortunes in midweek but with both teams making seven changes to their starting line-ups it’s not the best idea to read too much into Carabao Cup results (unless your name is Slaven Bilic).
Harry Kane was one of Spurs’ changes, he was left out of the defeat by the Hammers after limping off last weekend and he hasn’t recovered from his hamstring injury in time for this one. He’ll have to wait to add to his tally of 29 Premier League goals in 2017.
United are yet to let in a goal at home this term and Mourinho’s chances of getting the clean sheet he craves increased with the news Kane is sidelined. A 1-0 United win is 7/1.
Romelu Lukaku, one off Kane in the scoring charts and second-favourite behind him for the Golden Boot, is 11/8 to score and 7/2 to break the deadlock. But his goalless run is now four games, although he was only given a quarter of Tuesday’s win over Swansea, and against the big six his return is 15 goals from 58 outings.
A half-time draw in this one is worth backing at 11/10.
In the 3pm games Halloween arrives at the Emirates a few days early when Arsenal’s bogey men turn up.
Swansea usually score in this corner of north London, they’ve drawn a blank just once in eight games there, and have won three times. The only visiting side with a better record is Chelsea on four wins.
With this in mind and the fact that as impressive as Arsenal were last weekend, Everton still managed to score twice, a home win with both teams scoring is 7/4. Arsenal are as short as 1/5 just for the points.
Liverpool are just as skinny at home to Huddersfield, who are 14/1 to beat a big gun for the second week in a row.
Huddersfield were in freefall before stunning United last week and will be buoyed by that result but Liverpool, after a rocket from Jurgen Klopp, should be backed. Their defence, or lack of it, has been mentioned in these pages in previous weeks (although it’s much worse away from home) so, like Arsenal, back them to win with both teams scoring. You can get 2/1.
For the league leaders, it’s a trip to West Bromwich Albion and while City will stutter at some point before May, it’s unlikely to be The Hawthorns on Saturday.
For a start, they’ll be using a Premier League ball, not one of those nasty Carabao Cup Mitres, and Pep Guardiola likes them - he’s watched them ripple opposition nets 32 times in eight games.
The Baggies have only conceded three at home but their visitors so far - Bournemouth, Stoke, West Ham and Watford - are hardly the Premier League’s Harlem Globetrotters. City have been there on Carabao Cup duty and won 2-1. They’re 15/8 to win this one with both teams scoring, 3/10 just for the points.
As for the defending champions, even the Chelsea fans at Sportsmail HQ had doubts ahead of the Watford clash last week but a 4-2 win followed by 2-1 victory over Everton in the Carabao Cup and they’re happy again. They should still be smiling on Saturday night. Two of the Blues’ last three games have had six goals apiece – they drew 3-3 with Roma before seeing off Watford – and while we might not get quite as many on the south coast, 11/4 for an away win with over 3.5 goals in the match has some appeal.
Crystal Palace are back to being Crystal Palace, losing twice since shocking Chelsea and they play West Ham this week. Whether that’s the West Ham that won at Tottenham in the Carabao Cup or the one that went down at home to Brighton, who knows. A draw in this one sounds about right while Watford can edge past Stoke.
It’s the manager-sackers derby on Sunday as Leicester host Everton and we’ll be on Claude Puel to get off to a winning start. There’s also Brighton against Southampton while Burnley at home to Newcastle is on Monday night.
Sean Dyche should still be in charge of the Clarets by then but talk of the Everton job must be a bit unsettling for a team who have only scored twice in five home games. Newcastle are the value bet at 17/10.
