    Koeman says in post-match press conference that he had a meeting with Victor and he did submit a transfer request.

    However, he will not be permitted to leave and is staying. Ronald says he is '100%' on that.

    Look at yesterday's results City apart everyone is beating everyone else. No essy games but we will be fine. That win will do wonders for confidence.

    We're convinced...but for the media, he needed to write it in blood (preferably Victor's) on the wall of SMS.

    5 tackles, 4 aerial battles won, 3 interceptions. That's a decent day defending.

    But you also can't ignore the "water carrier" aspect of a holding-type mid. And to me, it was his positional awareness to make himself available for passes, and then his ability to quickly pass and move the ball on once he received it, that really stood out.

    Romeu wouldn't be my MOTM, either. But I think you are selling him short if you think he had nothing to do.

    Koeman has suggested in his press conference that Victor speaks to Morgan and looks at what happened with Morgan and learns from it. <laugh>

    I'm waiting for Footballorgin to sort out 90 minutes for me. OK, I'll watch MOTD2 as well. :)

    Just been listening to Steve Claridge's assessment of Saints. Such a refreshing outlook he has, free of what ifs and maybes.

    Has anyone thought that we might possibly develop into a better team without Wanyama? He's hardly a dynamic player. I love his presence - but could the overall unit be more cohesive with more ball playing midfielders?

    And Chelsea, who let in just 32 goals in the whole of last season, have already conceded 9 in 4 games.

    That's 3 teams who have won the PL and immediately started poorly. ManU, ManC and now Chelsea.

    That's the idea. You've got some time to do one to remember. :)

    More from Koeman on Wanyama: "If he keeps going like this, then he is playing with his own future. That’s not good."

    Awesome performance today. Not getting carried away because Norwich were awful, but Romeu was motm for me. Tadic is a human showboat

    Romeu looked solid and dependable...perfect playing there....a no risk player, but also with skill.
