Saints Lose To Leverkusen

Saints lost their final match of the pre season schedule going down to an own goal in the second half, but overall its been a good warm up programme.

Ronald Koeman put out virtually his first XI to take on Leverkusen in a performance that showed how Koeman is coaching his side to play a fluid game, switching between formations as periods in the game dictated they do so.

However there would ultimately be disapointment with the end result with the goal coming from an unlikely source.

Graziano Pelle would have been looking to score in his first appearance at St Mary's and he did so, unfortunately it was at the wrong end and it would prove to be the winner, at least he showed he has an aye for goal though and when he gets his ends right he could be a potent force.

Overall the game showed that Saints have the core of a good squad, but there is still work to do and a few players need to be brought in, we still need a central defender or two, a wide player and another striker, hopefully some of this will be addressed before the big kick off at Anfield, if it is then the coming season should have no fears for Saints.
