Onuachuis only now is starting to get the service he needs to score goals. When Selles played him I remember thinking what was is the point if if no one is crossing into the box. It was the same with RM, no crosses, no cut-backs and no diagonal high balls, which just left Paul stranded. With RM we rarely got out of our own third of the pitch anyway.
Under Juric suddenly there are crosses, threaded forward passes, high balls etc all of which will give him a greater chance of scoring goals.
He isn't the prolific PL striker we need, but we are only now starting to play to his strengths. |

Now we're playing a more open game we're more vulnerable to fast breaks through our defence. This has to be sorted quickly. Both Bednarek and THB lack pace, so they need to be communicating better, and not push up so much.
It's horrible watching the oppo running through us like that. |

Harwood Bellis flying into their box too. We need them to do what they're meant to do, defend. |

Yes you are right, I was getting carried away there.
Maybe 3 'proven', good quality players, from the UK or abroad who would join Southampton in the Championship knowing we would be contenders for promotion. |

He would really develop well in the current Bournemouth team, and it couldn't be better suited to his style of play.
Also he'd still be close to family and friends which is important when you're only 18.
I'd say B'mouth have got the money to buy him aswell. |

It would be a great shame to lose him. I would love to see him here for the next couple of years, strutting his stuff like a Matt Le Tiss 2, he would become a true legend and then no one would begrudge him leaving for a top club.
The thought of him going to Spunk is sickening. |

Watching this at home. Commentators all saying that was not a penalty. Disgraceful decision. |

I really think at least another year with us, even in the Championship, will be better for his development than the meat- grinder atmosphere of a big club.
At 18 he'll be in competition with some big talents and big egos, and if he has a poor spell he'll be dropped like a bag o' shite.
Southampton will look after him, he'll be amoung friends and he'll get even better. Maybe think about leaving when he's 20. |

Any Chris Wood types out there? Big, strong, good with his feet and his head. |

Absolutely.
Juric is getting his ideas across and is still discovering what certain players can do, you can look at all the back videos all you like but still need to witness your players in action in various situations. He must know soon which players he can rely on and which he can't.
However he was forced to change when Dibling got injured, but putting Smallbone on instead of another forward like Archer, was strange as it took the pressure off Man U. He's learnt that his first 11 were good, but he's hasn't got much in reserve. The return of Charles may help. |

Exactly this.
Juric is getting the best out of Sulemana and him and Dibling look a force up front. It's nice to witness an 'edge of your seat game' where we bossed the play for most of it. |

Out of all our subs probably only Lallana and Archer would have been any good. I feel sorry for Juric because his tactics are working, we looked a good team up to 70 minutes. |

The best we've played for a few years in the PL and we are now seeing the Duric effect, no pissing around at the back and quick forward play, every time the defence or midfield get the ball (we're all conditioned to expecting the ball to go backwards) and now it's a forward pass at speed.
He's identified his best starting 11, Unfortunately the second string players aren't good enough, which is the fault of SR , and replacing Dibling with Smallbone was an odd move, when Archer could have come on to attack them.
If we'd had Duric earlier in the season we'd of definitely had a few wins on the board. He's a breath of fresh air. Let's support him and look forward to more attacking displays. |

Well he has spent money, but player recruitment by his trusted staff has been woeful.
I'll bet he was mightily pissed off that RM was given another 3 year contract before proving himself in the PL, that's cost him a lot of money. |
