Solid Saints have Ings-shaped hole: Despite the win against Watford, Ralph Hasanhuttl's Southampton look short of ideas in-front of goal and are yet to overcome the loss of Danny Ings

One Southampton supporter texted into a radio talk show with an assessment of his side on Saturday. ‘Some of these players are absolute machines, we need to enjoy them while they’re still ours,’ said the fan.

The players he was referring to were full back pairing Tino Livramento and Kyle Walker-Peters, noting that if they — and others — continue to consistently shine, they will be off to a bigger club with bigger aspirations.

Just like Danny Ings. He scored 41 Premier League goals in three years, and was on his way to Aston Villa.
