Southampton: Adam Blackmore analysis – Saints ‘miles off’ last season’s standards in loss at Watford

By Total Football News

My biggest nagging worry is that while the expulsion from the play-off final in May has become a galvanising factor for fans and players alike, is there a quietly bigger impact on that let-down for the players in the back of their minds?

Has it punctured their resolve slightly knowing they have got to go uphill again for nine months to get where they want to be? Will bad moments

Stoke City 1-2 Swansea City: Adam Idah scores with first touch to seal comeback win

By Total Football News

There was an intriguing subplot in this contest as Ethan Galbraith made his league debut for Stoke a little over six weeks after joining in a big-money move from Swansea.

Much is expected of the Northern Ireland midfielder, who was one of Swansea’s star performers in 2025-26 and brushed off boos from the travelling fans during what was a solid league debut for the Potters.

But it was those in

Swansea City: Adam Idah faces lengthy spell out as Josh Key and Ronald add to injury concerns

By Total Football News

While Idah’s probable lay-off is a heavy blow to Matos’ options in attack, there is better news of Cullen.

The Wales international has missed Swansea’s past two matches with a calf problem and Matos expects him to be out for another fortnight.

The absence of Idah and Cullen meant Swansea started without a recognised striker against West Brom, with attacking midfielder Melker Widell operating in the most advanced central role

Adam Idah: Swansea City striker suffers hamstring injury blow

By Total Football News

Swansea were beaten at Coventry despite competing admirably with the leaders, with Zan Vipotnik and Liam Cullen among those to miss chances as Ephron Mason-Clark struck the only goal of the game shortly before half-time.

Swansea’s fourth defeat in seven matches under Matos – and a fifth in succession on the road – means they are only four points clear of the relegation places at the midway point in the

Charlton manager Nathan Jones:

“We didn’t play well. Did we not play well because we were bad or Swansea were good?

“Swansea are a good side, they have good players, they are well coached.

“At times we have to dust ourselves down. If you don’t play well then don’t lose. If you can’t win a game then don’t lose it, and that’s what we have done today.

By Total Football News

Everton have made an offer for Bayern Munich’s teenage defender Adam Aznou but still need up to six more signings before the transfer window closes, manager David Moyes says.

The injury-related absences of central defensive duo James Tarkowski and Jarrod Branthwaite hurt Everton badly at the MetLife Stadium on Saturday as they conceded three second-half goals in a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth.

It only reinforced a view Moyes expressed at
