- Mon, 30 Sep 2024 22:39:25 +0000: Russell Martin rues lack of ‘fight’ as Bournemouth sink shaky Southampton - Southampton | The Guardian
Few doubt the high difficulty facing Russell Martin at Southampton. This lesson in south-coast superiority only confirmed it. If the Saints’ manager retains credit in the bank among fans, his team’s inability to learn from mistakes is beginning to bite. It is certainly affecting his disposition towards them.
“Whatever way you play, if you lack the fight and aggression you have a big problem,” he said. A disastrous opening 45 minutes left Southampton far too much to recover from. “I didn’t identify my team in the first half in terms of attitude, spirit and fight.”

Peeeeeeeeeep! And away we go.

Sandro Tonali is ready for a start, Ipswich will be hopeful for visit of Villa and should Fulham be aiming for Europe?
Despite positive results, Newcastle’s performances have disappointed, so Saturday’s 3-1 reverse at Fulham was not a significant shock. Eddie Howe did not disagree with recent suggestions that his team had been deliberately “undercooked” in pre-season training to help reduce the injuries that dogged them in the spring. The only problem is that they currently seem unable to implement the high, hard press that has brought them considerable success under the former Bournemouth manager.

Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest deployed supersubs, while Manchester City and Arsenal served up a doozy
The Etihad showed off the best and worst of English football. Arsenal almost rolled back the years when their back five frustrated all-comers. Riccardo Calafiori’s cracking goal reminded of Ronaldinho at his improvisational best. Manchester City’s opener through Erling Haaland was a beauty, too. As for the bad – a referee taking centre stage and often losing control. Michael Oliver should not be headline-maker after this meeting of the Premier League’s best teams, but is likely to be. Sending off Leandro Trossard was correct, the Belgian foolish, but his red card generated the usual conspiracies that now swamp elite football. Arsenal then cranked up the gamesmanship as both sidelines behaved like spoiled children. That City, until John Stones’ goal, were poor – Rúben Dias is no attacking force – will concern Pep Guardiola. So will Rodri’s injury. Without him, City are a lesser force. Mikel Arteta may wonder about Arsenal’s own lack of composure: 10 men need not have meant complete submission. John Brewin

Sam Morsy struck a dramatic added-time equaliser as Ipswich snatched a draw against fellow promoted side Southampton.
Saints were set to pick up a precious first top-flight victory of the season after the first career goal from the 18-year-old academy graduate Tyler Dibling, but Morsy levelled five minutes beyond the 90 with a deflected drive from the edge of the penalty area. Both sides remain without league wins after five matches since coming up from the Championship.

Bournemouth assistant manager Tommy Elphick says he is "really pleased" with the Cherries' first-half performance after they secured a comfortable 3-1 win against Southampton.
Southampton manager Nigel Adkins has been a busy man in the transfer market this summer as he looks to reinforce his squad for the start of next season after a great run which saw them promoted to the English top flight via the play offs. Adkins is now desperate to bring in new names to the club so that he can secure their position in the top flight for another season at least.
The first signing of the summer sees promising young full back Nathaniel Clyne arrive at St Mary`s from Crystal Palace after the promise of the clubs plans to attempt to quality for Europe this season were very enticing for the player. Southampton though will need to pay a large compensation fee to his current club if the deal goes through as due to the players age his former club feel they are due some type of payment from the saints after he signed a new four year deal last week.
Another player who has just be signed by the club is talented striker Jay Rodriguez after he recently arrived from Burnley for a fee which is believed to be around the six and a half million pounds mark. Adkins has long been an admirer of the player and is extremely happy with the signing which he sees as just perfect to bolster his attacking line for next season.
A shocking bit of news right now for Southampton is the fact that their attempts to bring defender Alexander Buttner to St Mary`s may be in tatters after his current club Vitesse Arnham have halted the move after another club have come into the frame for the players signature. Southampton may now find themselves in a bidding war for the player who they see as a perfect addition to their squad so as of now all dealings over the player have hit a premature halt.
