West Brom Home
Manager Koeman has a record of always including his best players for the job at hand, provided they are fit enough. Wanyama was available again to face West Bromwich, so in he came, although some fans had misgivings; there remain doubts about Pellè’s immediate fitness, so he was on the bench, where he was joined […]
Watford Home
There were rumours that Pellè would return to face Watford, but he only made it as far as the bench. There was a welcome return at the other end, though, with the absences of Stekelenburg and Gazzaniga forcing a comeback for Forster. We had changes in front of goal as well, with Soares and Bertrand […]
Crystal Palace FA Cup 3rd round Home
“It was 40 years ago today, Hughie Fisher taught the band to play…” Well 40 years ago on FA Cup 3rd round Saturday anyway, when Fisher’s late strike earned Saints a replay with Aston Villa, and come 1st of May, history was made. This year’s opponents were Crystal Palace, just as they had been in […]
Norwich Away
Saints travelled to Norwich without the suspended Romeu, quite a feat by him in view of the limited pitch time he has enjoyed this season. They also omitted Mané from the starting line up, with the player punished for missing a team meeting. In view of the extra effort travelling fans had to make during […]
West Ham Away
There are plenty of us who remember Easter programmes of three matches in four days, but the game has changed and it does seem odd to find two Premier League schedules over Christmas – they seem to fill the grounds easily enough whenever they play, so why bother? Manager Koeman always threatened to rotate his […]
Arsenal Home Won 4 – 0
Saints were supposedly undecided between fit-again Stekelenburg or Gazzaniga to face Arsenal, who only needed a solid away performance to reach the top of the league. I doubt if they really thought too long about electing to go with the regular first choice, and then the game had a cagey beginning, with Saints the cagier […]
Spurs Home
Saints reverted to their more orthodox defensive formation to face Spurs, and other than long terms injuries and the short term goalkeeping uncertainty, most fans seemed to believe it was the best XI available. As usual at St. Mary’s, Saints began with a flourish and Mané twice caused problems in the opening stages, including a […]
Crystal Palace Away
Missing from the trip to Crystal Palace were Pellè (half injured, so on the bench) and Stekelenburg (fully injured, so nowhere to be seen). That meant a return, not for Kelvin Davis but Gazzaniga, and he was soon in action, having to deal with a wayward cross that an awkward wind was taking towards the […]
Aston Villa Home
The home game against Aston Villa should have been a banker for Saints, but a run of defeats, one of them heavy, cast a mood of pessimism around St. Mary’s. There was no need for that, especially as Fonte returned to the side, and an examination of the visitors’ recent record shows them to be […]
