Southampton Away Match Thread

Needs to change the shape. Bring either Barnes or Lookman off, move Maddison out wide and get Kiernan on. 

[sishades]

Appalling. WTF is Toure being paid to do? He needs to go!

[Guest kristianity77]

That half was absolutely disgusting. Absolute garbage! Sick of this team and the way we play football, it's so so poor.  Do we work on defence at all in the week?

 I’m not at all convinced with Lookman. 

Or Soumare. When you add the two ex Southampton lads, it really shouldn't be surprising we're struggling I suppose. Bit of a shit transfer window as things stand.

[Lee Monty]

This is garbage, lookman showing why nobody wants him, Soumare is the 2021 junior Lewis, only bright spark is Maddison and I think it’s him putting himself in the window for January

This is like the Puel era but back then we got results relatively often.

Stupid comment we have won last 2 games. As shit as we are this isn't worse than Puel era.

[PhillippaT]

We normally play better in the 2nd half, right?  

[foxes_rule1978]

Lookman is total pants, does nothing… runs into players or gives it away. We aren’t winning this, you can’t go into every game needing 3 or 4 for a win  

[yorkie1999]

Ain’t being funny but Lloyd dyer was better than this Lookman fella.

Lookman is weak in the tackle, poor in the pass and seems to be lacking any kind of a football brain.

there’s much worse on the pitch than him

 

You're both correct.

Players don't give a ****

Manager's comments last week have given them a comfortable life.

Even a comeback wouldn't paper over the cracks from that half for me.

Far too many issues that have been a problem for too long that will not get us anywhere long term.

[Sunbury Fox]

Can't believe that I've travelled to watch this utter rubbish. Defending is beyond a joke and the build up is so slow and ponderous. Looks like the Watford win was another false dawn. 

[Fox_in_a_Box]

All kinds of bad that was 

[Bert]

Both of their goals have inadvertently came from set pieces. We get really unlucky with the first. We don’t deal with the second ball or challenge for a header in our own box. We aren’t winning any 50/50’s. Any second balls at either end of the pitch. 

[Jakemoore]

Everyone crying out for Youri just remember that he won’t be playing for us next season. He could even go in January. We aren’t good enough for him so this is the midfield we have now 👍🏻

[st albans fox]

Good that we’ve played a strong line up tonight then ……….

To be honest, it really does look that way

Being beaten far to much this season by teams with players technically worse but their working harder and wanting it more

Got to get KDH or Hamza on to get a grip in midfield

100% agree. 
 

Hopefully Perez on for Lookman too

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

The only consistent thing about us is our inability to defend, it’s a really tough watch this season 

[wardyfox86]

Trying to play passing football, when there's only 3 players that want the ball, just isn't working anymore.

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

I defended Lookman early in but he's been poor last 20 minutes of the half. Then again aside from Maddison they've all been shite. 

[TrentFox]

We get out-fought and out-muscled by every team. That really depresses me. Lookman and Barnes might as well not be on the pitch. Man, this is a hard watch. 

[The Quick Brown Fox]

Just now, Whys it always me said:

What has he actually don’t wrong to justify this statement? 

If it's based on this performance you can say none of them should play for the first team again. Nobody has played well.

We’d be better off with a back four of the Chuckle Brothers, Frank Spencer and Super Gran 😂 Shambles all over the place 

'To me, to you' - They'd fit our defence perfect to be fair!
