I don’t see us beating either of them. For me, although the points tally does not reflect it, we are comfortably the worst team in the Prem sadly.

All strikers miss the odd chance (& yes he’s missed a few good chances this season) but even the best strikers in the league would struggle to create goal scoring chances with the dreadful service that he has to endure.

Even prime Vardy would struggle to score with the absolute dearth of creativity that we possess in midfield. Crikey, trying to get Ndidi or Soumare to pick out a slide pass inside the defender that he requires is just too much. He’s never been a player to individually beat 2-3 defenders or more with high levels of individual skill before scoring but we’ve currently got nobody capable of finding him with a half decent pass or cross (usually a cut back required). With the right service he’d still be capable of double figures in the Prem & significantly more in the Championship. He’s not the problem!

We’ve even reached the depths of rewording the chant to: ’Come back Maguire, come back Maguire W—e need you We’ve now got these two The mess is fu****king massive!’

Shame that this squad don’t possess this guy’s level of desire. Get well soon Nigel

Careful what you say, they visit the KP soon - we’re no better sadly.

He got a tune playing us twice so not much of a bloody tune to be fair.

On this weekend’s evidence, how do some people still believe that Saints & Ipswich are somehow worse than Cooper’s ‘team’? United beat us without a whimper and Liverpool would destroy us. We asked no questions of Chelsea. Thank Christ he’s gone - the squad is weak, signings have been poor (BEK looks potentially useful) but there’s no way he was keeping us up. It must have been horrendous for the players to go from Maresca’s attention to detail - I didn’t always appreciate his football but I appreciated the way he instilled his blueprint right from Week 1 - to Cooper’s seemingly laissez-faire approach. Praying for a progressive appointment (but fear that it won’t be!)

Fingers crossed that they have a young, progressive replacement lined up already - if they spend the next few weeks looking it will only underline the incompetence of the board. Anyway, great news at least - Cooper was awful.

Don’t delude yourself that we’re finishing where we currently are if Cooper remains in charge! You seem to be accepting of the club’s situation - as fans & ST holders, we shouldn’t be!

They gifted us 3 having been 2-0 up

If we keep Cooper for the whole of the season, I fancy even Saints will run us close as we are truly awful currently too. What was our actual game plan yesterday? Don’t press and defend deep? Bar a 5 minute spell late in the first half, we never required Chelsea to get out of 1st gear. It was utterly depressing to watch.

Southampton showing more intent in the first 5 minutes than we showed in 90 minutes yesterday. We never even tried to take 3 points yesterday - it was embarrassing! The table may not show it but our actual quality of play is the weakest in the league! Cooper needs to go (and quickly - wrong thread 🤣)

I think we’ll lose this match, which is going to confirm my suspicion that we’ll end up in the bottom 3 sadly. I’m firmly Cooper out irrespective of the result. Our 2 victories thus far have been somewhat fortunate IMO.

Which candidate could be considered to be the Beluga caviar option? All a bit pie n mash for me
