    Actually surprised, and this is 3rd time I’ve watched them now, how average Leicester look.

    Both these teams look a bit shaky defensively and these are the 2 favourites for promotion ??? If tonight is anything to go by we will do well this season

    A draw would suit me tbh, could close the gap tomorrow ...

    ... both teams seem to think they're better than they are.

    I'm encouraged by the fact that Leicester aren't quite living up to the hype. Early days of course, even Burnley had a dodgy start.

    That's the graft that the likes of Ward Prowse used to get through unnoticed.

    Don't realise until they are gone unfortunately.

    Exactly, used to be a huge fan of ndidi but he looks so poor these days. Winks is poor out of possession for Leicester, doesnt cover the space in front of the defence at all

    Still think leicester will go up as they have good depth but not sure southampton will go up as theyll concede so many goals this season n not sure how much of a winner russell martin is as a manager

    My comments after Saturday ....

    Oops, I reckon Southampton have dropped a bollock.

    I couldn't believe what a mess Southampton were and how they looked so tactically inept. I'd not taken in all the hype about Martin, and his fabulous possession based football, and was a bit surprised he was given this job. He reminds me of Gary Monk who was endlessly praised but vanished up his own hyperbole.

    So I had a look at his stats to find he lost more games than he won with MKD and was only equal at Swansea. He's going to have to massively improve on that to be promoted and I just don't see it ...

    ... Southampton will be active in the next window but, after seeing who they've just brought in, I doubt they'll want Martin to be the one in control ...

    ... they have money so won't hesitate to pay him off if they're struggling.

    I'll give him 'til Christmas.

    Winks is garbage.

    I said it when they signed him. He is slow both physically and mentally and he’s sideways as ****.

    **** Scott Parker.

    Another goal for Leicester here and Southampton are toast imo. And with Vardy on the pitch I wouldn't be against it.

    Both back 4s need to wake the **** up though. Actually, they don't, because this is quite funny <laugh><laugh>.

    I'm no longer impressed by possession stats, having watched us under Poyet. Some lovely moments of course but a lot of impotent play, dreadful to watch at times.

    Aye he is so overrated as a manager, reminds me of lee Johnson tbh. Praised for his football but so inconsistent and never won promotion or anything like that

    Our 2 cbs n 2 cms are better than Southampton's

    Harwood Bellis is a cracking defender like. Not sure what Martin has managed to do to him in such a short time :D

    Its been an enjoyable game as both teams just keep giving up chances. Dewsbury-hall is quality, hes been the stand out for me n vardys movement is just on a different level

    Martin is on the ropes already, they will concede hatfuls playing like that, wide open and nothing protecting the defence. Ross may have dropped a bollock chasing the money
