After we’ve gifted Brussel a first win and saved his job for a game we might……

Clearly a Coopite sabotaging the servers.

Don’t give Cooper ideas, the lads won’t show up because they will all be searching Southampton players on google.

With Cautious Cooper and Jordan Ayew?

Could be. There’s a chap on Instagram who modifies modern shirts to look retro. Some of his stuff is actually pretty good!

There reemergence of Soumare into the team over the likes of Winks has caused a stir as well. It’s not a happy dressing room by any stretch of the imagination.

Baby steps ****ing backwards.

Apparently he’s doing a great job, we have a rubbish team!

What point did I say I want them to lose?

This is the thing, is his style more akin to Brendan or Tony Pulis? Thinking back to his time at Swansea he was very similar to Brendan. They were a methodically progressive side who played out from the back, had that deep lying ball playing CDM who was the heartbeat of the team. How much of this was following Graham Potter, I don’t know. But there was a definite way Swansea played. Now, last season Enzo managed to achieve this, yes with some question marks, largely we achieved it. We do have the players to achieve this, probably not to the level required in the premier league, but enough for Cooper to come up with a hybrid of what we saw last season….. which I will admit at times in the first half we saw at times. I just feel Cooper is stuck between two ideas, I don’t think he knows what he wants to do with this team, so he has reverted to a more battle like idea, to make us as horrible to play against as he possibly can. There are some murmurings albeit not corroborated about some of the players not being happy with him. He’s got the win, so he now has two weeks to build on this and hopefully trust the players a bit more to play more like he really wants us too.

There’s got to be something about Cooper, he’s had success at academy levels albeit a very different standard, but he’s had some quality players under him when he’s had these stints. I can’t help but think part of the reason he’s stinking the place up, is his reluctance to take the hand break off. He's often spoken about learning from mistakes, and perhaps he’s just being over cautious because of his previous roles. What I can’t stand is the complete erosion of anything good from last season, the team is unrecognisable and that’s concerning.

Okay, whatever keeps you warm at night.

Arsenal found it difficult? They could have won 10-4, Mads single handedly kept the score line to a modest one……..

Good god…… I’m so sorry for them all……

Two weeks to not have to watch Jordan Ayew again? Someone’s knocking at me door!

Or how about we perhaps don’t **** things up again, despite making a near £600m in transfer fees? In some cases negativity is justified, and I think that warrants a negative outlook. And how do you know we’re staying up? We’ve not even played ten games, we could quite easily lose the next two….

Mrs Doubtfire would be an upgrade on Steve Cooper.

We did, ****ing dog shit.

100% losing this. Going away to a team that hasn’t won yet? What could possibly go wrong.

Imagine ordering sticky toffee pudding for a dessert, you’re really looking forward to it, just what you want and need! Will hit the spot and finish the day off nicely……… and a bowl of oil and screws turns up, with a pint of bleach to wash it down…… it was a bit like that.

You need to think, negative and boring? Ain’t that just Cooper….

I don’t even think there’s that much of a plan….. the thing that springs to mind is the scene where Mike Bassett says to a player “I know you do what you want”….. imagine that’s pretty much his brief to the subs.

Need to think about what you’ve said there!

How on earth did Soumare get on the pitch over Winks 😂
