    Tony Pulis is out of a job. Say no more. His availability is hanging over all clubs at the bottom of the league.

    Swansea had a run of picking good managers - Jackett, Martinez, Sousa, Rodgers, Laudrup, Monk?

    But the last few have not worked out - Guidolin, Bradley, Clement?

    Carl: Swansea were far too quick to sack Garry Monk back in 2015. Now they're paying the price

    I speak to Jonjo Shelvey and he loves it at Newcastle and he's a London boy. When you get an opportunity in the Premier League it should be a privilege and an honour.

    The panel have been discussing whether Swansea City struggle to attract players given their location.

    James Mitchell: Arsenal have been criticised for years, for lack of fight! Last night, they all fought till the bitter end! Bravo lads! Now just tighten up at the back!!

    It's been a difficult period. You get judged on your results, we were losing games. You have to stop it and we're lucky we did that.

    We reacted well to the goal so early. It was a must win game for us. We're not used to shipping goals but we have recently. It's difficult but we've got good characters in the team and we'll be OK.

    When you have a manager like Sam Allardyce, who is no-nonsense, you think 'OK, I have to up my game here'. It is the aura, as a player, you know you can't get away with anything.

    We had a situation recently at Arsenal with a caretaker manager, where some players believed in the style and philosophy. How do you get players on board? If you have a no-nonsense manager and that persona, you do.

    He's the right man for the job. The biggest thing for them was leaking goals and he'll sort that out. They've got match winners and they'll win more games than they lose if they can shore it up. He has a presence about him - he takes no nonsense.

    Sometimes it is hard as players. Sometimes too many changes can make a side disjointed.

    For me, Southampton are a frustrating one. They have a great team there but it can be so side to side, nobody opening teams up. Nice football but nothing really happening.

    When it's not going for you, you just try everything - both teams have made 11 changes between them. You don't want to be away from home when it is tough.

  15. Howe expects familiar test from Southamptonpublished at 12:38 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2017

    Bournemouth v Southampton (13:30 GMT)

    Eddie Howe's side are yet to finish above their south coast neighbours in the Premier League but the Bournemouth boss will face his third different Southampton manager in as many seasons today.

    Despite the change in the opposing dugout, Howe told BBC South Today he believes his side will be up against a very familiar style of play.

    Bournemouth v Southampton (13:30 GMT)

    Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson playfully talks about when his son didn't believe he was a real footballer, whilst he was out injured.

    Wilson is on the bench this afternoon. It's a bench full of options too, Wilson joined by Marc Pugh, Benik Afobe and Jordon Ibe.

    Bournemouth v Southampton (13:30 GMT)

    That's a lot of changes in one Premier League game. Eddie Howe's side have lost four of their seven home league games this season – just two fewer than they lost in the whole of 2016-17 (6).

    I've only seen it once and I think it's a red card. I've probably done the same thing. He's caught him on the back of the leg. I wouldn't say he's gone to 'do him'.

    Alex Scott

    Arsenal lost the game in the first 10 minutes to two defensive mistakes. But the positives are that we were able to open up the Manchester United defence. We need to keep working on those positives and eradicate the mistakes at the back.
