Slower, but much smarter, against a better side it makes sense to favor experience over pace.

Rumours are that Saints has sacked Russell Martin, supposed to be announced tomorrow.

To be fair, he built that system, he's been at Brentford for around eight years. Tactically, he appears superior to almost every manager in the league. Instead of adhering to a rigid system or pattern, TF takes calculated risks and proactively adapts to exploit his opponents' weaknesses.

Thomas Frank is a tactical mastermind, incredible to watch.

Wow that's absolute shite.

Southampton this season: 31 defensive mistakes leading to goalscoring chances 11 defensive mistakes leading to opponents scoring. And that's after just 15 games, I don't know what Russell Martin is thinking sticking to his shite system, they'd be better off with Cooper.

Russball is worse than Cooperball. It's like Russell Martin is pulling a 22/23 Rodgers and purposely trying to get sacked, how else is he continuing with these suicide tactics??

A manager with a clear system? Feels weird.

It'll be extremely short sighted if we end up selling him. You simply can't underestimate how crucial a top goalkeeper is to any side.

Looks a bit off

What a pass from VK there. Unbelievable!!!

World class save that.

The defending and pressing intensity is night and day compared to before. There's a clear counter-attacking pattern. Much much better.

Beautiful !!!

Vesty was our best performer imo

We're defending much better.

**** me...

Definitely a bottom 3 squad, no matter how you shuffle the deck with formations and team selection.

Great pass again from Vesty, didn't amount to anything though.

That attack was set up by Mads, great pass followed by Vesty doing what he did so well last season.

Vestergaard our best CB

Vards averaged a goal every 87 min. last season, he's far from past it.

Just keep passing the ball to our legend

You think we can take them?
