Presser on 13:30 - Jan 31 with 4920 views | PhilTWTD | Not complicated tear but never an easy injury. It's a blow, no doubt, him and Chieo unique profiles for us. Have good depth, other players who can fulfil roles. Not going to make late panic signings. |  | |  |

Two really good games last year, second most significant in history of the club. Will be really tough game, as it was last year. Perspective very different from last year when we weren't expected to do anything against them. |  | |  |

League's tough, Southampton have been really competitive in a lot of their games, gone ahead in a lot, conceded late on. Done some good things, signed good players but not found a way to consistently pick up points. We have areas we think we can hurt them but they will feel the same. |  | |  |

I can think of at least two more important games, but I guess in modern history he could be right. |  |

Three players we've brought in can make an impact, never feel you've done enough. We're in a better position than we were on Jan 1. IN ideal world, could have been one or two more pieces of movement, but a difficult window. We've added three players that will strengthen us. If that's it, we'll crack on, if we can make any late additions, then we will do so. |  | |  |

Wider issue around abuse in football, not just referees. Abuse for someone doing their best job is not acceptable. As managers, we have a responsibility to set the best example. We know refs have tough job to do in fast-paced sport with fine margins. Deserve respect and we try to set a good example here. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I think he means, out of the two games, the second one is the more significant one in terms of the history of the club. Or something. |  | |  |

Saints will see it as a chance to win, we'll see it as a better chance to win than the last two. Going to be a really competitive game, as previous matches, both teams have added and improved but in a more difficult division. Have their qualities, different style under the new manager. |  | |  |

The three points is the most important but we see our football philosophy as the best way of doing that. We'll continue to do that. |  | |  |

He’s saying the second game was the most significant in terms of recent history because of how big a win it was. |  |

Last two games between clubs have been decided by late goals, so know we've got to keep going to the last whistle. Crowd had massive impact on the game here last year, pushed with us right to the last moment, gave players energy and belief. Whole club pulled together to get over the line. |  | |  |

Saints more man-to-man defensively, different challenges and opportunities. New players come into the team. Option to go more direct, little bit different, but also still got some really good players, keep ball well, versatile, club with different threats. |  | |  |

Wes has taken it well, disappointed but got good perspective on it as well. Appreciates that he came from League One and has made a contribution in the Premier League. Over a career, these things can happen. |  | |  |

Extra pressure on these games as Man City/Liv less winnable? A little bit of that, but then we got two wins against Chelsea and Tottenham. Were even with Man C until they scored, had a good chance not long before they scored and game could have gone in a dfferent direction. Know why there's expectation on this match. Competing with Leicester and Southampton last season was a big achievement, this season we've been ahead, most of the time, of Leicester and further ahead of Saints. Just because sides are towards bottom, doesn't mean we're bad sides. Expecting tough game, whether at the top like last year or bottom like this, it's about details and giving everything to get result. |  | |  |

Anything active? Gut feeling? Squad is there or thereabouts, doesn't mean club aren't working on different situations. But my feeling is players here will be the ones we'll complete season with. |  | |  |

Jens, a few issues, so felt best to rest him last week, Jack C just left out due to numbers. Re Michael Oliver, no qualms about him refereeing despite pressure he's been under. |  | |  |

Abuse, not someone who's had a lot? Check out Phil's website! Poor run in League One there was some. Had people here talk come and talk about abuse. |  | |  |

Cautionary tale for anyone thinking it's big or clever to run their mouth off about someone on here. K Mac has eyes and ears everywhere... P.S. I did say re. Szmods! He's targeting the Villa game (or Spurs worst case scenario) to return. [Post edited 31 Jan 13:55]
