Brentford Home Lost 0 – 2
It might be difficult to argue it through, but you could make a case for saying that Southampton would rather play the likes of Manchester United than, say, Brentford. A well-organised team with a tried and well-executed, maybe limited, plan causes problems that the creative side of our team finds difficult to solve and so […]
Manchester United Away Drew 0 – 0
A Sunday lunchtime kick off at Manchester United meant an overnight stay for many, and the chance to join the Lineker support crowd at MotD HQ in Salford – but, heck, the pubs were open.

After that uplifting performance at Chelsea, no-one was over-surprised when Southampton named an unchanged side to face Leeds, although it did seem as though Sulemana was asked to play far closer to his striking partner, ‘Tall Paul’ Onuachu – a contrast to the hosts’ wide attacking approach. Whatever was being tried definitely didn’t work as […]
