He’s class, Ralph might give him 5 minutes against Leeds, probably tell him his most important job is to defend. He’ll train the the flair out of him like he will with Livermento

Sounds about right. It's time he was made to change his ways - before it's too late.
Blimey guys, did you both get out of the wrong side of the same bed this morning? Livramento has been one of the bright points of the season so far. He came because he wasn’t going to get a game at Chelsea and Ralph has played the kid in every game so far. Broja shows promise but clearly needs more work before he is a regular starter. How many Prem managers would give a couple of kids game time from the start of the season. He deserves some credit for bringing them on so quickly.

When we get a win on the board that’s the time to start giving credit. Leeds, Burnley and Watford are all winnable.
We thought that we had the answers,
It was the questions we had wrong.
Broja should be playing. He offers something different - particularly some composure around the box. He Is young, he is here to get game time, and we can be hopeful that he might deliver good things.
Should be ahead of Redmond, Djeneppo and Walcott up front. Work out a system so that that can happen.
When Broja came on against West Ham recently for the last 15 minutes, those 15 minutes on the field were enough to earn him Sky Sports' Man of the Match award, an award rarely handed to a late arrival from the bench.
Broja is seen as a number 9 by everyone at Stamford Bridge - an out & out striker. That's why they allowed him to come here - to gain PL experience as an out & out striker. In the meantime of course, he's banging in some very important goals, as an out & out striker, for his nation Albania.
Welcome then Amando Broja to Southampton FC - a club where the manager probably won't play you because we're presently overloaded with strikers banging in goals all over the place... a club where Ralph has his favourites up front in the form of Che Adams & Shane Long et al. And if he does play you, it'll probably be as an attacking midfielder or wide out on the wing & not as Chelsea and Albania see you - as an out & out striker.
Welcome to Ralph's world Broja. Once our strikers lose a bit of PL form and stop scoring goals galore like they're currently doing, I'm sure you'll get your chance... ... ... probably as a centre back though.
The point is, Saints arn't scoring at the moment, so what is there to lose from playing him? The hard fought draws against Man U, City, West Ham were excellent but we couldn't score and couldn't against Wolves either. We have an option in Broja. Broja is scoring for fun for Albania, he hit the post when he came on for 15 minutes against West Ham, He scored a few against Newport, he is stronger and taller than the other two, so he should definitely be playing.

I am not saying that he shouldn’t be playing, but Ralph sees him every day in training and there will be a reason why he isn’t starting games at the moment, even if we don’t agree with it. I’m sure if he was putting in performances like Livramento he would be an automatic starter. He has shown flashes of quality sure, but we don’t have the luxury to have a player like United do in Ronaldinho who they can carry for 90% of the game hoping that he can win it in the other 10%.
So no credit for drawing against City, United and West Ham then?
Credible draws v the Manchester clubs but the manager gave too much respect to West Ham. The 3 points against MU, MC & WHU were written off by losing to Wolves at home.
1 step forward then 1 step back.
Broken record time - if we don’t get a win in the next 3 league games then some very serious questions have to be asked of the manager. He’s a nice guy but it’s a results business.

It’s a no brainer to everybody except Ralph Hassenhuttl and it’s starting to grate tbh. Broja is streets ahead of our other strikers. These goals he’s scoring aren’t tap ins they’re goals of pure quality that only a class striker scores. It looks like Adams could be injured anyway so Broja hopefully will get his chance against Leeds.

I'd be happy to carry a player for 80 minutes if he creates goals and chances in the other 10.
At present we are always carrying one or two players who don't even do that!
