What Southampton MUST Do To Avoid Relegation 

great video, definitely see us playing a back 3 next year worked so well against some of the better teams last year

Good video. For me, the one glaring omission is a left back her can play in a back four and as a wing back. We simply don’t have one who is good enough at the moment. Both Ryan Fraser and Ryan Manning won’t be up to it at Premier League level in that position. Some really good suggestions elsewhere however. Jack Clarke and Jacob Greaves should certainly be on the radar.

Great video 👍 I think we need to play smallbone as our starting 8 with Joe aribo; he has been so consistent (when not played as a 6) and if we have charly alcaraz he can play that role and is better defensively then o'hare. Instead we should look to get a CDM cover for downes (maybe tyler morton) as when downes doesn't play we crumble

i think we need to be ruthless if we’re serious about staying up, getting rid of those that simply aren’t good enough. i do like the signings you’ve suggested and they are talented but also somewhat unproven? i do feel we need to be very ambitious in key areas that are a level above us to make the difference. say if we did sign the players you mentioned, if we did go down we’d have a fantastic championship team and we’d most likely make our money back if they wanted to leave. a keeper, lb, dm as well as downes, lw and striker. if i’m feeling greedy then a rw like soulé, maybe a swap deal for charly. i loved the video mate, keep it up 😄

Brilliant knowledge about Southampton i can really tell you know what you’re on about and i appreciate you love jack Clarke like me 😂

Jacob, you mentioned Larios. I mean us saints fans have heard of him but we never really thought he was real. Anyway, I hope he gets a game and thanks for this insightful video 😊

Lets be honest, we need half a new team, 5 or 6 additions to go straight into the starting 11. Must break the bank to get Downes + a keeper, striker, left back, a winger at least.

Good video, spot on with signings, i think our squad with a decent manager the season we went down doesnt go down, im fairly confident with Martin and some key signings and others being moved on we will stay up

Great video! As some have said I think back 3 will be the way forward, wonder if we got Clarke he could also play LWB (think he’s played there before?). I think Stuart Armstrong staying will also be big to reduce signings needed in midfield!

Excellent video! If only more RU-vidrs were as knowledgeable and insightful

Excellent, informed, perceptive analysis. Thanks Jacob.

Great video mate! Wouldn't have even considered Muric, but with Trafford getting them £££ perhaps they'll have to hold onto him

Great video. Am a Saintsfan and i think the 3 most important positions to prioritise is DM( hopefully Downes). GK and a striker. If there is any money left a LB/LWB, and then a Winger.

excellent analysis and video - man if we can just get flynn back and a few of the names you mention i think saints will be riding high!👏👏

Really good thoughts. However, you missed our biggest weak link - Ryan Manning. We definitely need to upgrade LB.

Looks like these three promoted teams will do a better job than last year

Well informed analysis, can't really argue against Jacob said.

No Muric. Gone to Ipswich. Saints don’t seem to want to buy a keeper which is crazy

great stuff well played

The lesson of Burnley is partly not to try and play out from the back passively against the far higher standard opposition pressing. There were signs Martin adapted the approach at the very end of the season but no matter who he signs he must vary the pattern more from the get-go. Though their players are lesser known, Ipswich certainly pass with greater purpose and variety. Whether their quality can make that effective in the PL remains to be seen though. Leicester - who knows?

Good video. What do you think of Dele coming to Saints? An interest previously and with Martins arm around style of management, could it unlock him?

Ohare will stay for a bit then get injured and then when your relegated play out his contract

Clarke would cost you £20 million give us that and you can have him

In my opinion why sign and striker when you have Psul Onuachu coming back

“One of the best ways to get promoted” didn’t you get promoted at Blackburn? 😂

No evidence Miovski is premier league standard

win matches

@southamptonfc watch this please 😂

How old are you ? What in gods earth do you know ? When you leave primary school and grow a few years I may listen to? Ffs
