David Edgar

Anderson looks on another level to last season. He's comfortable playing at this standard.

Nearly. Nice play by Anderson and Gordon.

A tad worried about Almiron here. Might have jarred his knee there.

Targett just looks like a massive weak link out there.

Tonali gets too tight to the play when we are in the final third. Needs to just look more to get into space and receive the ball in more advanced places. Like Longstaff does really well.

Can anyone hook me up with an English sounding stream? My Italian isn't so good and that's all I've got at the moment.

Someone tell these two that it is a point per goal.

De Gea laughing.

I'll fetch a kayak then.

The club seems pretty desperate to shift more tickets for the weekend. They've got "See Barnes and Tonali..." as the banner story on the latest news page but it is just a link to the ticket page. Feels a tad unscrupulous.

There is no way they persist with a few of these changes for more than a few weeks.

9 minutes

That's the first time they've got a run in the channel, played the pass and then been able to get the ball near the 6 yard box.

That's a quality move.

Wait, Southampton need a goal and Adams has been sat on the bench all this time?

Saw earlier that Palace have been linked to a new right sided CB which suggests Andersen is gonna be on his way out.

Walker-Peters had a through ball on to the right there but chose to shoot with his weaker foot from a poor position. Think Southampton need to be coached better in the final third.

The XG is pretty telling. Looked very even on chances created and it basically is. Sheffield Wednesday sitting super deep is working in regards to stopping Southampton from creating chances. But they've then got to rely on scraps themselves. Bet they've planned for a tight game like this from the start. Southampton score now and all of that is ignored though.

How many yellow cards are our coaching staff gonna wrack up across the season then? Cos if it is just a yellow card for the second coach to arrive in the technical area, then we are just gonna do it when required.

Also, the new touchline rule is silly.

Lovely stuff. Southampton winning the passing, mind. Chances had been pretty even...

Aye, Minteh is getting utterly panned on Twitter.

James Ward-PrOOOOWWWSSEEE... keeper comfortably catches it.
