Massive gap in quality between PL and Championship, two shit teams here. As funny as it is watching scummers getting beaten at home, I watched 10 minutes but it was so poor I’ve switched over and watching the obviously far superior and more entertaining Bayern v Leverkusen game now.

Xabi Alonso doing a cracking job with Leverkusen.

Is Russell Martin actually any good? Plays nice football but his teams don’t seem to do much results wise
Doesn’t seem to be any good at organising a defence. 15 conceded in 5 and a half matches… 3 more than everyone else, and Leicester might not have finished with them yet 😯

Sunderland put 5 past them, while Norwich scored 4 against them in a 4-4 draw. Now Leicester have got 3 already.

Looking like the right move for him. Which is nice.

Early days, but stats looking great. Very pleased for Aaron

Watched Southampton get a deserved thrashing tonight at home to Leicester - they look in huge trouble in my opinion.

This season Saints are 7th after the Leicester game, they have conceded at least 5 more than any other side but only Norwich have scored more (granted they’ve played one more game than most of the division).

Very similar to last season when he was at Swansea. Finished 10th but only the relegated sides and 20th placed QPR let in more. Only the two automatically promoted sides and 4th placed Middlesbrough scored more. They were only 3 points off the play offs.

Seems like he wants to play open football but that’s not going to get his Southampton side promoted.

Southampton in the mud. Lost their last four league games in a row - 5-0, 1-4, 0-1, 2-1. Lost to winless (before today) Middlesbrough this afternoon and their fans want Russell Martin OUT.

Norwich thumped 6-2 at Plymouth(!)
