I could see Sam going for it, not sure the blues would like it though <laugh>

so i am done wumming on this. my heart wasn't really in it TBH....

those transfers look mixed.

Klassen needs time but has quality

Sigurdson is a good player but he is what he is. a free kick taker and crosser... he needs a target.

Pickofrd is good

Keane looks lost.. thats not great is it? the reasons for it could be several though....

Rooney has been a disaster in terms of return for what he's paid.... Oh it not too bad like 3 league goals in 8 games and that but the rest of the side is really struggling round him.

The others seem an entirely waste of time

I don't understand how koeman has managed to lose the discipline and shape of his side so badly but there is certain alignments to his southampton time.

The striker this is crucial and a disaster but that happened to us after suarez. Its the total lack of shape and hell... ability to get a clean sheet that is the real hurt point here.

stoke: 1-0 ok start not great but a start
city 1-1 good.. season starting well
Chelsea 0-2. ok ****e happens
spurs 0-3... oh oh... it was a hard start but thats leaking goals and at home.
utd 0-4 wow hard start and away game but they fell apart.
sunderland 3-0 relief but it was only league cup!
bournemouth 2-1 .. ok result, it was almost a disaster on the day right?
burnely 0-1 at home. disaster
brightion 1-1 away

So its a real tale of woe. The first 4 games were incredibly hard. 1 point and a decent start but then 9 goals in 3 game with none scored.

Performances since have not been good but i think its the last two games that have really put the pressure on. I am ignoring the europa league. If they go out they go out i reckon in their own minds.

I think they needed to win the last 2 and really out this down to ok the top 4 teams are tough and move on.
