2016/2017 SEASON: NOVEMBER 2016 FIXTURE:

SOUTHAMPTON VS FH:

Although FH fought us well in our previous match but I'm expecting an easy encounter against FH this time around in front of our crowd.  The reason is I've study the way they play, they defended all the way and hit us on the counter.  We gotta play with patient in this game by moving the all around all the way and hit them when there is space.

As expected, easy win for us at home.  A brace from Pulisic and a power header from Austin seal the win. 



WBA VS SOUTHAMPTON:

A very tough match against the stubborn Tony Pulis' side.  We need to be focus the whole of 90 minutes.

Berahino and Rondon will be key for their side.

I'm going start my tactic by attacking them from the start as I believe we've got a better squad compared to WBA and to play fast attacking football will give them lesser time to control the match at the Hawton.

Nervy win in the end after 2 goals up.  WBA attacked us until the end.  Thanks to Forster brilliant save at the 90th minute secured us 3 points.


International Break...



SOUTHAMPTON VS WATFORD:

I'm looking forward to this match as it was an advantage for us to get home comfort after international break.  So far, we had a good record at home.

Watford is a very good side with Deeney and Ighalo leading the line and let's not forgotten their marquee summer signing from Juventus, Pereyra.

We are very confident going into this match at home.  Expecting a win for our side.  Good luck team.

A solid win.  3 points carry us nearer to the top.  The run of good form really helping us at the moment.  I really this run of form will maintain for a long time.



SOUTHAMPTON VS LOSC:

We are in a comfortable situation at the moment in EURO Cup.  So I'm going to rest a few key players for this match.

Another superb performance by Pulisic.  Now I am start to wonder who is better between Pulisic and Depay.  Pulisic form is tremendous!  We've qualified for the next round.  Target achieved after a nervy start in EURO Cup campaign.



SOUTHAMPTON VS STOKE CITY:

I take this match as a very difficult match as Mark Hughes side play the same way we do.  Stoke had a fantastic squad with the likes of Shaqiri and Co. 

They will be dangerous at the flank lead by Shaqiri and Arnautovic.  Bojan is very good scorer as well.  Shaqiri not being fully fit will be an advantage to us.

We going to keep the run going.  Depay back to the side.  Cedric to replace injured Danilo.

We dominated the whole match and fantastic performance by the whole team.  We deserved the win.  The win carry us to the top as Man Utd lost to Tottenham.  I am so glad with the performance by us since the start of the campaign. 


Follow and support my journey... Thanks a million...
