Watford Away
A season that began so brightly (impressive in friendlies, big European win, decent enough away point) hasn’t exactly reached crisis point, but radical changes were made for the trip to Watford: defensive players Soares, Yoshida, Fonte, Caulker and Targett all included, Steven Davis restored and only Mané and Pellè up front. That lasted for 25 […]
FC Midtjylland Home
I can’t readily think of an earlier occasion when Ronald Koeman has been out-thought tactically, but the consensus seems to be that the starting team against Everton was too weak physically in key areas. So to Midtjylland (who have, not surprisingly, completely fooled my spell-checker), and the considerable speculations about their strategies – and all […]
Everton Home – Not a great day at the office for anyone wearing sensible colours.

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
Arnhem is a place name synonymous with a famous British rearguard action, dating back to when airborne troops were dropped (literally, by the RAF) into an impossible position. That was never going to be repeated in Southampton’s visit, and especially after Pelle turned neatly and finished decisively in just the fourth minute. That left the […]

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. In an ideal world, manager Koeman would have liked exemption until the Europa Cup play-off round, but he was making all the right noises about accepting […]
