Ronald Koeman sends message to Southampton fans on Twitter
Ronald Koeman insisted Sadio Mane will be back on Southampton duty soon after the Manchester United target limped out early from this bore draw. Watch the game on live streaming with Sky Sports on Sunday at 4.00pm.
Jose Fonte (Southampton): Both Jurado and Anya could make a strong case that they deserved the game’s individual honours, but ultimately it was Fonte who was the most important player on the pitch.
The best chance of a poor game fell to Watford midfielder Etienne Capoue, but he headed over the bar from close range in the second half to leave both teams still seeking a first win of the Premier League campaign.
The Saints’ attacker is now considered a suitable option by the Manchester based club and was part of Southampton’s starting eleven for their Europa League qualifier against Midtjylland on Thrusday.
Predicted Everton lineup vs. Man City: Howard, Coleman, Stones, Jagielka, Galloway, McCarthy, Barry, Kone, Barkley, Cleverley, Lukaku.
“He had a reaction to a kick on his hip, it doesn’t look too bad but we have to wait”.
Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores admits he thought his side had taken the lead when the ball reached Capoue two yards out, only for the Frenchman to head over.
Koeman successfully switched to three central defenders after going eight Premier League matches without a clean sheet.
Troy Deeney has only scored two goals in his last 11 appearances for Watford. He was not good enough to continue.
Watford brought Alessandro Diamanti on for his debut at half time but it was Southampton who created the first real chance five minutes after the break.
“Vydra’s future could be at Watford, it could be at another team”.
Will Southampton fail to finish in the top 10 of the Premier League this season?
