Plenty of questions still to be answered and the performance level would have been totally different had we been home.
Huge positive in our defensive shape when we need to dig in and for all Southampton's chances, really speaking, very few were particularly threatening.
Also I think Clement's subs were a statement to the Board. Fulton, Bartley and McBurnie just shows the lack of activity. Also, we've got to be majorly worried about Mesa at this stage. Personally I fear for his character more than his ability, he seems too confident and a bit of a hot head.
But all in all a decent platform to build on - but it's got to be done and quick. |  |

We were never going to be as expansive away from home.
But that's the aim and objective and remember, we've not even dabbled in the market as much, yet.
You'll see..... again.... |
So therefore plenty of logic in leaving Mesa on the bench . |  | | |

Think Mesa could've came in for Leon instead of Fulton, but because we were chasing a point, PC went reliability over someone who hasn't played a PL minute.
Don't think it has anything to do with his character |
Is the correct answer. Have an upvote. |  |

They're for my own amusement, not yours.
Sorry I hit a nerve. Would've thought you had thicker skin considering how deep you've been digging yourself over the last 6 months.
As for you, not sure what impresses me the most: your persistence in pursing lost cause opinions; or your lack awareness of your credibility level on here.

A marquee signing bought early July should have played today, without doubt.
You can make all the excuses you want. Something isn't right at this early stage. | |

i watched the game on a stream with the sound turned down as it was out of sync.
All I'll say is my starkest recollection is twice seeing one of their players take high balls down on the chest and control it well inside the area, while a group of Swansea lads stood around at a polite distance so as not get in the way. |  |

I don't think Clement would have hesitated to play him if he was on track. Something is amiss with Mesa, that's as clear as day, unfortunately, |
He's gonna be this years Baston. I can see it coming! |  | | |

Leon taken off, replaced by Fulton, where was our £11 million signing?
Mystifying

That remains to be seen, i wouldn't disagree that it's a bit odd myself either, Leon Britton was blowing through his ar£se well before time and shouldn't be starting for me as effectively we only ever have 2 tactical subs if he starts.
I think it's very likely that clement knew this was going to be a grind and a tight game and decided to go for more height with players who are safe pair of hands and arn't cutting their teeth.
If Mesa doesn't get any game time for Man utd then i would say somethings not right, but it could be something quite genuine and nothing sinister, illness, slight injury,moving probelms,family etc,etc . It could quite easily be something tactical too.
If you want to throw open the doors of conspiracy it explains the apparent interest in Joe Allen !! | | | |

We've had a glimpse of the movement we're looking to play with.
But have you forgotten?
Siggy and Llorente are still here!!
When the problems have left and been replaced then speak... |
My biggest worry is that they may well leave, but not be replaced or replaced adequately.
You seem to already have doubts about Mesa - our biggest signing this window so far.
It's only the first game and nothing is won or lost, but we were lucky that Southampton failed to score from their many chances and that the ref didn't give at least one if not two penalties.
Could have been an opening day pasting. |  |

Bookmarking this thread for when Mesa gets going.
He looked the business in preseason and was one of the more highly rated midfielders in the Spanish league last year.
Personally I think PC was being over cautious about exposing him to the pressure of the PL. I expect him to start against Utd | |

No need to bookmark it. I'm sure everyone on here hopes he'll be a great success. It's just a tad concerning that an £11m player is not only deemed not 'ready' enough to play in front of a 34 yr old, but not even able to replace him when he's fvcked! Sorry, but i just don't get that! Somethings not right with him. | | | |
