Liverpool Away Lost 3 – 1
There are three types of person in the world: those who think ‘Nathan Jones’ was a Bananarama original; wiser ones who know it was a hit for the Supremes first; and those too young to know the song at all. Presumably the last group includes those responsible for critical decisions at St. Mary’s as they […]

Sheffield Wednesday EFL Cup 3rd Round 90 minutes 1 -1 Won 6 – 5 on Penalties
The EFL Cup game against Sheffield Wednesday was to be Rubén Sellés’ only game in charge (of the latest inter-regnum, anyway) so you’d have thought wholesale experimentation was probably beyond his pay grade: nine starting changes ensued, however, with a few being injury-related. Saints began promisingly, as you rather hope they would against League One […]
Newcastle Home Lost 1 – 4
Injuries have disrupted a settled team, but against Newcastle another factor came into play: blind panic.

Crystal Palace Away Lost 1 – 0
I’m not sure how much people appreciate how much injuries can disrupt a squad like Southampton’s, although, of course, the Livramento situation has been known for a long time now. It seems Adams sat out most of the Arsenal game because of another injury concern and his return at Crystal Palace was the only change […]

Arsenal Home Drew 1 – 1
With what sounds like a long-term injury to Walker-Peters, allied to those of Bella-Kotchap and Livramento, and with Maitland-Niles unavailable against his parent club, Arsenal, Ralph was more or less forced to play all of Lyanco, Salisu and Caleta-Car. In response, Perraud seemed to have a more advanced role, as did Arihbo, to accommodate a […]
