Carabao Cup Round 4 Home Stoke Won 3 – 2
Manager Martin said he really wanted to win in the Carabao Cup so picked a strong side that included his first choice goalkeeper, centre backs, playmaker and striker. All very welcome, but where does it leave you if they don’t deliver against a Stoke side with eight changes to their league starters? Still, it’s better […]
Manchester City Away lost 1 – 0
We always travel hopefully but many going to Manchester City would have been having second thoughts about the journey after Southampton’s capitulation in the second half against Leicester. Russell Martin had no choice but to find a team that might be competitive against the serial champions and chose one that included Manning as the ‘spare’ defender […]

Leicester Home Lost 2 – 3
There were recalls for Aribo and Archer to face Leicester while Manning retained his place and Dibling stayed out wide. That left an unlikely pairing of Walker-Peters and Manning providing the attacking threat down the other wing – they enjoyed success there too, teaming up to provide Archer with an 8th minute opening goal. The second goal […]

Arsenal Away Lost 3 – 1
A promising start for Saints at Arsenal as it took nearly two minutes for the Gunners to progress into Southampton territory – unfortunatley it was over five minutes later that the ball got back over the half way line, and that set the pattern for the opening period. However this was a different team to the […]

Bournemouth Away Lost 3 – 1
Saints lined up at Bournemouth without Walker-Peters and with Cornet and Fraser out wide and Dibling… well, no-one seemed sure what Dibling was supposed to be doing, not least the player himself. A false nine perhaps? There was actually a positive sign from the formation with Cornet, via a deflection, and Fraser coming close enough […]

Ipswich Home Drew 1 – 1
With Stephens suspended for the visit of Ipswich, in came not just Harwood-Bellis but also Taylor with Walker-Peters benched; make of that what you will but I suspect it has more to do with height than anything else. Further forward there were starts for Dibling, Lallana and Fraser but it didn’t look as though they’d […]
