2016/2017 SEASON: FEBRUARY 2017 FIXTURE:

SOUTHAMPTON VS LEICESTER CITY:

We are desperate for win after falling from the top spot.  The next 2 fixture at home will be important to us.  Home comfort is what we need after traveling most of our games last month.

Leicester is without Mahrez for this match but the likes of Vardy, van Ginkel and Drinkwater will be important for them.  

Ounas is back for our side.  I really missed him at my right flank.  Redmond is not consistent enough in his game.

Another draw.  Ginkel sees red but we did not take advantage of it.  Bad performance by our attacking trio.  Disappointed to let Vardy equalize at last minute.  Bad covering by Forster.

SOUTHAMPTON VS MANCHESTER UNITED:

A must win game for us in order to catch up with Man Utd.  A six pointer game.  I wanted this win very badly at home in front of our fans.  

De Gea has not conceded for few games now.  It will be tough to beat him on his day.  Ibrahimovic will key player for Man Utd. 

I am putting in the same squad with Pulisic replacing Depay at the left.  Depay is unavailable against his own club.

A solid win for us at home.  Hattrick from Origi.  What a beast!  We love this player.

SOUTHAMPTON VS YOUNG BOYS:

EURO Cup 2nd round match.  I've replace Boufal with Cedric in my EURO Cup squad as I feel we need depth in that area of our team.  

Expected an easy win at home for us.

A good 3-0 win for us.  A good performance by Depay and Austin.  

YOUNG BOYS VS SOUTHAMPTON:

I'm putting the same squad as the first leg.  We strongly believe we can hold on to the 3-0 lead.

Let's go team!  Do your best!

A draw away from home to secure us the next round in EURO Cup.  Looking forward for our next game in EPL.

LIVERPOOL VS SOUTHAMPTON:

I am going to recall back our first 11 to the team after two EURO Cup match.  A very special match for me to play against Liverpool in Anfield.  

Coutinho, Mane, Firmino and Sturridge will be dangerous.  Just see how they terrorist EPL defenders this season.  

Pulisic ahead of Depay in my left side again.

A good win away from home.  Origi continue his fine goal scoring form and Depay score the winning goal bench.  Thunderstrike from left using his right leg.  Beautiful goal.  Emotional win for me personally.

After continuous of win in our final 2 EPL games of the month.  We are just one point below the league leader.  I am convinced that we can continue our fine form.  Go SAINTS!

Origi lead the goal scoring chart in EPL even after he misses 1 month of football due to injuries.
