Saints Video preview - Don’t know why OT didn’t find this elsewhere, or why it isn’t posted on YouTube yet.

Well, I am in Southampton, sitting at mama’s, ready to go to the football. I’d be disappointed if we don’t pick up all three points. A couple of my bluenose mates assured me that I would have a good 90 minutes. Let us hope that they are correct.

Long starts, Rodriguez on bench.

I might have preferred to see Romeu and Wanyama defensively, Davis in a more creative role, with Long and/or Rodriguez to come on later in the game.

Still, I think Everton have their own problems, so I fancy us today.

Clean sheet too.

Going for 3-0.

That can’t help.

hmm same goal as last week

Well taken, but don’t know how they go so many so far forward so quickly.

I think Kone is proving difficult to pick up. He’s drifting wide and then back centrally.

He will leave space doing this though.

I had a bad feeling for today, the best I could see was a draw.

Keep watching Mr. Bulsara.

Early days yet.

Eastleigh’s very own Matt Targett getting extensive treatment there. Thankfully fit to continue.

Unfortunate to draw Lukaku on the day he has his monthly Good Game

This. Really dissapointing to concede basically the same goal two weeks running.

Mane and Pelle not really providing the same threat level as usual.

facile observation, but maybe the pace+athleticism of Clyne, Bertrand + Morgan used to protect us from these disgraceful counter-attack tactics

I don’t love Steven Davis like I used to. The most underrated bro at Southampton is starting to look overrated.

fksk

Oh dear. Poor tackling by midfield and next thing they’ve scored.

I can’t help thinking we need to recognise that that French bloke isn’t here anymore, and given that we can’t replace him with Steven Davis.

Out of position for me, Bear.

I would take off Shane Long + replace him with JWP, and sub Steven Davis for Ward-Prowse. I would also think about getting James Ward-Prowse on the field, if I can, but maybe just for the last 20 mins cos I don’t want to use all 3 subs so early.
