Match Reports
Everton Home – Not a great day at the office for anyone wearing sensible colours.
Transfer activity by our rivals meant Southampton’s own actions in the summer window had to include the replacement of Schneiderlin and Alderweireld. Romeu has arrived to satisfy the first requirement, but too late to be a realistic starter against Everton at St. Mary’s; Caulker is more likely eventually to be a squad member than a […]
Newcastle Away
Soarez and Targett both returned after missing the European adventure so it was a different back line for the domestic opener at Newcastle – arguably a more distant destination than Arnhem! More surprising was the inclusion of Rodriguez in the starting line-up, mainly because Koeman (R) had said he wouldn’t be fit… but then again, […]
Vitesse Arnhem Away

Vitesse Arnhem Home
The eagerly anticipated return of European football to Southampton finally became a reality in what could well have been the club’s first competitive match in the month of July.

Leicester City 2-0 Saints
Saints were blitzed by an early Leicester onslaught and never fully recovered.

Saints got back to winning ways with a comfortable victory against relegation-threatened Hull City
Everton 1-0 Saints
