I'm not going to sweat it on the result of this game, early season matches are difficult to gauge and I can remember us being turned over 3-0 at SMS by Everton in the second match of last season. Of course it will be encouraging to get a positive result there but as long as we play ok I will be reasonably content.
Second part of the press conference. For anyone who finds it difficult listening to Claude you may want to skip the first 5 minutes which is all about Utd.
I'm in So'ton airport. Two Saints employees are sat in front of me waiting for a plane to Manchester. Hopefully the first team will be here soon!
http://sportwitness.co.uk/southampton-ace-says-claude-puel-closer-players-ronald-koeman/ Cedric talking before the United match, saying that he and Jose will do everything to win. He also says that Puel is closer to the players....not strictly a criticism of Koeman....he calls it a different kind of leadership. Fair enough....just as long as we win.
