Great goal tbf

In and out in hours. Makes Putin look like even more of a mug.

Unbelievable set of darts, Anderson lost it with a 117 average.

Everyone knows the problems run way deeper, but think we now have to pull the trigger.

"Luke Thomas is not the problem"

Mavididi has been a disgrace

This defending is an absolute disgrace.

Officials stuffing us again

I'm here for the Skipp redemption arc

Cifuentes may not be the guy, but ultimately we're now reaping what we've sown for several years of abject misdirection off the pitch. At some point we have to stick with a manager as this is going to be a long term rebuild.

Luke Thomas is so so bad

Think that was a foul on Bamford tbh

He's such a confidence player. Just 30 seconds prior he took his man on for the first time in about 4 games, beat him, then puts in that peach.

Declan Rice has become a great player. So much better when he has licence to carry the ball. He was never a sitting number 6.

I don't think that is a foul on Fatawu but the ref has given those in Soton's favour all night so far

Looks offside

Plus you have to take into account the other signings. They've bought a lot of younger up and coming players. Bringing in a genuine quality, experienced player, even for that money is proving sensible. Despite being derided at Arsenal, Xhaka is a European level player.

Absolute nonsense. Nelson was an awkward fall landing after a jump and Okoli's was a head/neck injury. Not like they've pulled up with hamstrings after a sprint.

The bar is incredibly low, but i think it's pretty obvious Daka is our most effective striker. None of them can hit a barn door, but he offers more than the rest in terms of work rate and keeping defenders occupied.

BDCR sub changed the game. Would like to see him starting at 10 for a bit. Jordan James excellent also, and thought Daka, for all of his many many faults proved again why he is the most effective striker we have, albeit it's a low bar. I don't ever want to see Oliver Skipp again.

James next to Winks was good for 45 minutes granted, then got absolutely torn apart in transition 2nd half against Portsmouth. Who then plays the 10 with any dynamism? Nothing is a magic bullet with this blend of players.

Replace an absolute non factor in Skipp. Replacing abysmal with poor is still an improvement.

I'd give Hamza a run in central midfield.
