Southampton lose 2-1 - Russell Martin really is all kinds of a clown, I have said it on other threads, he'll be gone before Christmas, complete bluffer!

He definitely has issues, see thread hereunder re his start at the Saints - a lot of criticism |

Who's been referring to him as a defensive player? He's a creative midfielder being played at LWB/LB. Indeed, he was the most creative player in the Championship last season (108 key passes in 43 games). He minds the ball and uses it well, he's good at winning fouls (2nd most fouled player last season, Ogbene was 3rd) which can help take pressure off a team under the cosh. Yes, he's defensively weak, and lacks pace. Something that will definitely get more exposed in a back 4. But if you can find ways to mitigate those risks then he's a very handy player to have. |

Hes less than useless defensively, just saunters around never trying a leg to get back into position and defend in any capacity. I do not and never will get the love in for him, not as a defensive player at LB or LWB. |

Of all the teams I saw live last season against Wolves I think Southampton were by far the worst defensively. Just no idea about defensive positioning and a structure that isn't all out chaos. Of course we only scored one goal against them though as we couldn't score to save our lives. Baz even saved them a number of times that game due due to his sweeping as they were playing such a high line. I thought it would improve in the champiomship with a new manager but apparently not yet.

I’m sure they will find a way to blame Bazunu.

1 down after a minute. Nothing Bazunu or Manning could have done about it at least, Southampton caught on the break.

Hopefully them bringing in Harwood-Bellis will give Bazunu a bit more protection in front of him, that's a very good signing at Championship level.

On Southampton watch they had a solid day in the transfer window. Finally signed the proper ball playing CB they needed in Harwood-Bellis along with Ross Stewart not to mention keeping Adams and KWP.
The two signings were paramount and actually give them a chance of going up.

I think this is always the case, he's decent in possession, it's why Russell Martin likes him. The problem is he can still be a car crash defensively. In the upcoming games vs the French and the Dutch where we will have limited possession, I'm not sure Manning is the right call.

Looking at his stats in sky today, 122 passes 95.1% passing accuracy, the second most was 99 passes then into the 79s, sounds like he played well in Possession Atleast
