We need to always have two useless players in midfield.

Faes again causing problems by passing slowly after inviting the press. Piss around and boot the ball up the pitch. Skipp doing his best Soumare impression and JJ being JJ.

Useless midfield and defence, one winger that can’t beat a man and the other who actively avoids progressing. That’s not even including JJ whatever he is now. No spine, no leaders and only one player (Bilal as Fats is injured) who has any ability.

Kill any attack by ignoring the simple pass, turning around and falling over.

But we also have Ayew attacking so it evens it out.

And falls over looking for the foul rather than pass the ball.

And we are stuck with Ndidi who can’t pass, shoot or tackle and Skipp who runs around like a Spaniel puppy.

What this team needs is Faes to walk the ball out even slower and Ndidi to keep sending it backwards.

He’s just a crap footballer. Running in behind might be his strength, but he doesn’t even produce a shot off target, the predictable outcome is he trips himself up.

You just have to remember that he willingly played Soumare every game.

I love Bilal but he did play like he got tips from Mavadidi on how to make a YouTube compilation. Daka played exactly like he always does, trips himself up with simple balls and gives away stupid fouls when he drops deep for some reason. Skipp is shit, but not as bad as Soumare. Ndidi slotted into the useless donkey role with ease. Faes puts everyone else under pressure by slowing the game down and inviting a press then passes back. He nearly caught Jacob out in the first few minutes. Ayew had one great strike to score, the rest he fell over, gave the ball away or fouled the ref.

He either gives away a foul or trips himself up.

Daka and Soumare on so that's 2-2.

Just after I posted that he does it again, walks with the ball and can pass it but back heels to Faes to piss about with and slow it down. It's like they all share the same brain cell.

Ndidi at the half way line, a counter opportunity and he stinks it out by standing still and turns back so Faes and the donkeys can recycle it. Useless.

Apart from the one quality strike, after a poor freekick he has done what he usually does. Hobbles around, tries to look for a foul at the line and loses it. I can't wait to never see him play for us again.

But we do have JJ, Faes and Coady defending so it is a valid tactic.

Soton are so bad the commentators aren't saying anything negative about our dross.

I think it's more that he is crap and it's probably sentiment being kind. When he plays with Soumare he has to do all the running but now he's in that position he's just as bad. Enzo made him look good and useful last season by drilling in that goal face cross and link with Fatawu.

Ndidi killing everything when he touches the ball. Passes backwards at every opportunity no matter what. A few times JJ has started to bomb forward and he passes behind so he has to stop. Useless player.

Ndidi, Skipp and Ayew still can't pass or look to do anything progressive against a team just as bad as us.

Ref pulling a Bank Holiday sickie by turning up for work then going home so the manager doesn't suspect anything.

Ayew fouls the ref but cant close down the opposition.

Skipp doing his best Soumare impression of smashing the ball backwards when he can just turn. He can go in the bin with everyone bar Jacob and Bilal.
