THE VERDICT: Saints inspired by Franny’s spirit
Show/hide article…
If Claude Puel can get his Saints team to embody the fighting spirit of Franny Benali in the days and months that lie ahead then he could well have a long and successful spell in charge of the club.
It was a strange kind of day at St Mary’s, part football match, part celebration of Franny’s triumphant return home.
After two weeks of running a marathon and cycling 75 miles every day, this was a chance for one of Southampton’s favourite sons to receive a deservedly warm welcome, even in the rain.
Benali’s exploits, all in aid of Cancer Research UK, were appreciated by the crowd, many of whom had bought wristbands outside the ground and displayed the Franny masks left on every seat.
As he came into the stadium to finish the challenge at half time, St Mary’s was ecstatic.
Benali is a symbol of Saints that everybody can get behind.
Born and bred in the area, a player that came out of the Tyro League and went all the way to the top with the club, he embodies so much of the spirit of Saints and as most people hope it will be in the future.
Benali as a player made the most of his career through his determination and will power. In his challenges since retiring he has taken even that to another level altogether.
What he has undertaken is a mammoth test, not only of body but, more significantly, of mind.
Those qualities are the kind of thing any manager wants to see in one of their players, and preferably their team collectively.
They not only produce the never say die moments that so often bring results, but the mentality to deal with significant pressure, as well as to cope with fatigue.
Puel will want that spirit in his squad as Saints deal with another fixture pile-up, with the Burnley game marking the start of seven matches in 22 days.
It is a significant period as well, with a double header against Inter Milan in the Europa League, some important top flight games as the table starts to take shape, and a League Cup tie in amongst it all.
Before the game, Puel would have been desperate to get the run off to a good start, to pick up some momentum where it was left off.
Also, in the context of a hard week with trips to Inter and Manchester City to come, a win against Burnley was always likely to ease the pressure.
With three points on the board it means anything from City in the next Premier League game is a massive bonus, while Saints’ position in the Europa League means a draw at the San Siro can be regarded a good result.
Saints were easily the more dangerous team for the majority of the game as they played some good stuff.
As you could have predicted, Burnley, playing with a five man midfield to try and stifle Saints, were going to try and make themselves a tough nut to crack. Their attacking intentions were less clear.
Getting the first goal was going to be key for Saints, to try and draw Burnley out a little and put the pressure on them to have to score to get anything from the game.
Saints so nearly got that after just five minutes as Matt Targett’s left wing cross picked out the run of Charlie Austin, darting in front of Ben Mee in the area.
He flicked his header towards the far corner but found Tom Heaton in inspired form as the Burnley keeper pulled off a truly magnificent save to dive to his left and somehow get it round the post.
After Targett went off injured on 14 minutes – leaving Puel with a left back dilemma for the upcoming run of games – and with Burnley trying to disrupt the rhythm of the match, Saints found their forward momentum coming in bursts.
Dusan Tadic got in behind via a long punt upfield just after the half hour but Heaton stood tall to stop his finish.
Tadic turned provider as Saints launched a quick counter attack - having surviving a penalty shout when Virgil van Dijk clearly fouled Johann Gudmundsson in the area with Mike Dean unmoved - and released Charlie Austin.
Heaton started to come and retreated, and it seemed to rush Austin into hitting a shot which went well wide.
The Burnley keeper had two more saves to make before the break, both from the lively Nathan Redmond.
He turned wide at the near post after a fierce drive and then pushed the ball towards Austin in stoppage time. It arrived quickly at the Saints striker who slipped as he tried to turn it home.
Saints got the goal they needed seven minutes after the restart and never looked back.
A deep right wing corner found van Dijk in space and the Dutch centre half headed back across goal. Sam Vokes managed to block Austin’s first shot from close range but was helpless to stop the striker forcing home at the second attempt.
It was 2-0 on 61 minutes as Redmond hit a superb first time half volley that appeared to take the slightest deflection and left Heaton no chance low at his near post.
The game was over as a contest six minutes later as rampant Saints added another.
Sam McQueen burst into the area and went down under a clumsy clash with Gudmundsson as he cut across the front of the Burnley man.
Dean pointed to the spot this time, even though it looked soft, and Austin rolled home the spot kick.
Things were maybe evened up a little on 72 minutes as Dean gave another penalty, this time to Burnley, as Ben Mee was felled tussling for an incoming corner with Tadic. Again, there wasn’t a lot in it, but Sam Vokes made no mistake to end the possibility of a clean sheet record for Saints.
Far from making it a nervy ending though, Saints might have won by an even bigger margin.
Steven Davis fired just wide, Jose Fonte headed off target from six yards out, while Heaton saved from James Ward-Prowse, Jay Rodriguez and Tadic, all in the closing minutes.
This was a day to celebrate as Saints showed some of that Franny spirit as the legend finished up his own challenge as his beloved club produced an emphatic win of their own.

Sam McQueen wants so much more after “movie moment” debut
Show/hide article…
ACADEMY graduate Sam McQueen admitted he was left buzzing after his “movie moment” home debut at St Mary’s in the 3-1 win against Burnley in the Premier League.
For McQueen, born and bred in Southampton as a Saints fan, it was an almost overwhelmingly emotional moment to play at St Mary’s, but he’s now hungry for more after revealing playing in the Premier League for the first time “felt natural”.
The left-back now has one eye on playing in the massive Europa League match at Inter Milan on Thursday night.
With fellow Southampton-born academy graduate Matt Targett limping off injured against the Clarets, McQueen, who attended Mountbatten School in Romsey, got the nod from Claude Puel to make his dream home debut.
It’s been two-and-a-half years since he made his first Saints appearance in an FA Cup tie at Sunderland in February 2014.
“It’s been years and years of hard work,” he said. “It’s my movie moment to come on at St Mary’s and make my debut.
“The thing is, it’s over so quickly and by tomorrow I’ll want to play again.
“I just want to get onto the next game and before I know it hopefully I’ll be playing regularly or far into my career.”
He added: “I’m still buzzing. It felt natural to be fair. The reception I got from the crowd when I came on was amazing. I’ve waited a long time for it, so I was more than ready.”
The 21-year-old, who was on loan at Southend United last term, was given a place on the bench with Targett deputising for first choice Ryan Bertrand out injured with a hamstring problem.
But when Targett was injured early on he got his chance.
“It’s not nice to see team-mates get injured,” he said. “Everyone knows the struggles that you go through. It’s not easy when you’re injured.
“I do feel for Matty, but he was really good with me. He came off encouraging me and saying all the best.
“There are no feelings of hoping that someone gets injured to get an opportunity. I’m not happy that he’s injured, but he’s going to be happy that I’m playing.”
With his parents and girlfriend watching from the stands and the St Mary’s faithful getting behind him from the off, McQueen settled quickly and was soon bombing forward.
He even won the penalty that Charlie Austin converted to make it 3-0 on 66 minutes.
“First and foremost I was thinking my parents are in the crowd,” he smiled when asked what his thoughts were when he was about to come on. “I was just wondering what they were thinking.
“You just want to get your first touch of the ball and the thing I’ve always been told in pressured moments is just to keep it simple and get yourself into the rhythm of the game, get your confidence up a bit and then express yourself, which I managed to do.”
For McQueen, who has been converted from an attacking player to a defender by Puel, taking to the pitch at St Mary’s with the crowd chanting his name was a moment he won’t forget.
“The reception from the fans when I first came on was amazing,” he said. “I could hear them singing. I’m a Southampton lad so it’s something special for me to get on and play here.
“It’s something I’ve been waiting for years after making my debut. It’s a long time coming so it’s something special.”
There were chants from Saints’ supporters of “he’s one of our own”, which meant a lot to the youngster.
“It’s a very special song to have,” he said. “It’s good because it means something to me.
“It’s special and I appreciate that and I just hope to play in front of them more and more.”
McQueen has always been a Saints supporter, although his father is from Newcastle and was keen for his son to be a Magpies fan.
“My dad’s a Geordie so he tried to bring me up as a Newcastle fan, but I’m Saints-born. I’ve played here all my life,” he said.
“We’ll have a bit of a laugh about things if we come up against Newcastle, but I’m a Saints fan.”
The Staplewood produced youngster hailed his team-mates as “amazing” for ushering him through his Premier League bow.
“They were amazing when I came on," he said. "The encouragement you get, they shout across to you and they will talk to you constantly and give you encouragement.
“When you do something right you will know, but it’s fantastic when you’re not doing something right or when you make a mistake, they’re not afraid to let you know and that’s good.”

Puel: Austin can’t start every game
Show/hide article…
Claude Puel insists he will still be rotating Charlie Austin in and out of his team despite the striker’s brilliant goalscoring form.
Austin netted twice against Burnley to make it seven goals in his last six games for the club to help Saints to a 3-1 victory at St Mary’s.
There is an understandable clamour for Austin to start every game, but Puel, who has previously resisted that temptation, not even taking him to Israel for the Europa League tie against Hapeol Be’er Sheva, is not about to change now.
“No,” said Puel when asked if he needed to keep Austin in for every game. “It’s important he don’t play all the games with the team because after it is an injury and it’s important we don’t lose Charlie. It’s important we develop every time and we keep a good physical level for every player.
“Charlie is not an endurance player, it’s important to keep him and his qualities and we can change every time the team since many games.
“For example, in September we got good results with this, and it’s important we can see not just some players but all the squad have a good answer.
“It’s important to respect all the squad because it’s not possible for me for the players to start every three games.”
Austin’s form, which has seen him net four times in the top flight, makes him the highest scoring English centre forward in the Premier League this season.
That is leading to inevitable calls for him to be in the next England squad, with Nathan Redmond also knocking on the door.
“I would like of course the selection for all my players,” insisted Puel. “They have very good qualities.
“I am not the trainer of international but the players play a very good game and Nathan have reward with a very good game.
“He tried to shoot more today and for me it’s important.
“This is the first time he plays a striker, because at Norwich he played as a winger, but for me he has all the qualities to play at the front of the attack and as a striker.
“He has a good shot, a very good right foot and he can every time the difference in the game with the confidence he can show for the team.”
Of Austin, who could be rested for the trip to Inter Milan, Puel added: “It’s important for the team and I am happy for him and for us.
“Like to score, like the good area in finding a solution.
“It’s important for the team and also the team play good football and get confidence.
“I think many players can score in every game and not just Charlie, but Charlie at this moment is very interesting and important for us.”

Charlie Austin has told talkSPORT his focus is on firing in more goals for Southampton, not winning an England cap.
The Saints striker has been in great form in recent months and took his tally to seven for the season with a double in Sunday’s 3-1 win over Burnley.
The 27-year-old is being tipped to force his way into the Three Lions set-up, but Austin insists he has been given no indication he is in Gareth Southgate’s thoughts and is only thinking about his club career.
“At the moment, my plans are at Southampton,” he said on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, when quizzed about a potential England call-up.
"I just want to keep scoring goals and playing at the top of my game and as well as I can.
“If that happens [an England call-up], then great, But, at the moment, I have heard nothing.”
