    I agree with a lot of that to be fair. Like I said hasn't been great but played his part. Was poor to be offside just then.

    Think you may have a point on your final part.

    I can't take it. Too stressful.

    Happily, from what I can make out as I'm listening on Solent, Jose has had a better game today. I think the Euros took a lot out of him, having relatively little rest and no preseason to speak of.

    FT: Saints win.

    Not the greatest victory we've ever had, but a very important one!

    Good game. Pretty happy with that.

    Should have scored one or two more, but it was a comfortable win nonetheless.

    Another excellent game from Romeu.

    We're going to beat someone by a few goals pretty soon. It's slowly beginning to come together, though we look so much more potent in a finishing sense with Charlie up top. But then we lose a little of our threat from pace.

    Not a bad week, really.

    Lose 2-1 away to Arsenal in the last minute due to a penalty.
    Win the opening Europa League game 3-0 with a rotated squad.
    Beat Swansea and keep a clean sheet in the process.


    <ok>

    In all seriousness that win was huge, could arguably be biggest of the season if it kicks us on. Shouldn't have been that close though!

    Well we could of made it easier on ourselves, but a win is a win and there are some good signs. Another good game from Romeu.

    Thoughts:

    We won!!

    We kept a clean sheet!!

    Austin needs to start

    Clasie was brilliant

    Redmond isn't a striker

    We play too conservative, but that may be due to lack of wins. Hopefully this will now change.

    Cedric actually looked like he could defend (sometimes).

    Hopefully it takes some pressure off Puel and the players. It wasn't a brilliant game and we and Swansea both look average.

    Seat of our pants, but we had about a day to prepare, so the old finishing/formation debates can wait until tomorrow.

    Redmond flatters to deceive; lots of hustle and bustle but makes poor decisions and although he can take players on he cannot retain possession when needed. CP needs to do a lot of work with him; has a lot of potential.
