Koeman Happy to Have Selection Dilemmas Ahead of Swansea Game

Koeman also said Graziano Pelle should be available for the game against Swansea despite missing the MK Dons trip due to a foot injury.

The Premier League side continued to dominate and it was 2-0 five minutes later when the Dons lost possession trying to play out of defence and Oriol Romeu played through Sadio Mane into the right side of the area before he dinked the ball past Martin from an angle. “He looks that he is winning the competition with the rest of the midfield players in Swansea”.

“Ramirez is technically a very good player and if he is physically on a good level why not?” I’m the first person to give that kind of player a chance. “He’s doing well and that’s very positive for him”.

Diego Costa’s clash with Laurent Koscielny in Saturday’s ill-tempered Premier League defeat of Arsenal saw the striker charged with violent conduct on Monday, but Jose Mourinho’s men were the purveyors of professionalism at Walsall and 19-year-old Kenedy made a significant impression.

He told the Daily Echo: “The third away game we didn’t lose, but every time one point is not enough”.

The 26-year-old’s brace, his second from the penalty spot, came either side of Mane’s double while Long grabbed his two later in the second half – making it the heaviest defeat in MK Dons’ short history.

The Uruguayan global spent last season on loan at Hull City, and was widely linked with a move away from the Saints during the summer, but a combination of factors appears to have helped him force his way back into Koeman’s thinking.

Swans boss Garry Monk declared himself bemused by some of the negativity surrounding the club’s form.

The Dutchman saw his interest in the Capital One Cup ended at the quarter-final stage by League One Sheffield United last season.

Take Southampton to get the win here as I think their pace on the wings will be the undoing of WEst Brom.

Despite agreeing to the terms of a three-year deal upon his arrival, the Saints are anxious that he may take up the job to manage the Dutch national team following their disappoint performance.

“But the nature of this sport is that you get setbacks”.
