Seems a bit unfair we've got five first team players out because of Covid pings... What's the cut off? Is there even a number? What if all the squad get pinged? Which is possible given they're all in the same changing room together...
 
Don't think that was the case until we went a goal down.

We won second balls, put tackles in, got forward well. I think their fullbacks have stopped our wingers though.

Goal went in and heads have gone.
Of course their fullbacks stopped our wingers. That will happen 100% of the season with these wingers in this setup.
 
Saints haven't done anything to trouble us. We handed them a goal. But this gameplan is playing for 1-0. You can't go behind playing like this.

The first thing to do in solving this is play three in midfield. Rafael doesn't do that it doesn't look like. No combination of 4-2-3-1/4-4-2 is going to work with the midfielders we have.

Absolutely.

Are you being serious? The 2 strikers have bullied our central defenders and look
dangerous every time
 


Villa / Palace both gone 2 down .....lifted us out of the relegation spots !
( Cue Keane own goal / Walcott 3rd )
 
It's not a loan mate. They signed him for £5m. 4 year contract.

And if you ever frequent the youth team thread you'd know he is very highly thought of and we would have been excited as hell to get him on a permanent.

There's one thing buying him and another playing him. full credit to the Southampton manager.

Would prefer to give a young promising lad a chance than some of the garbage we have bought in recent years. Do we even have a scouting network? I know Chelsea rated him highly, they also lost a few others this summer who wanted first team football.
