Southampton Away Match Thread

[coolhandfox]

Basically  2 against 1 in wides areas, Barnes and Lookman clueless defensively.

 

Barnes doesn't look interested, beat in every 50-50, Lookman simply can't find a player in blue.

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

Not make a single successful pass. Gives the ball away every time it touches his head or foot. Always wrong sided when Soton are attacking. His decision making and awareness is shocking. He’s thick as pig shit.

All our problems at the moment are linked to coaching. Whether it be organisation. Motivation. Confidence or method. Everything is coaching.

Agreed, subs can make a difference but the underlying issues will remain so we take them into the next game ... and the next .. and ...

Overall dogshit but i am so tired watching Barnes being absolutely clueless in every fuc king game 

He literally runs passed the ball sometimes forgetting the ball

[Trelleh]

Kasper isn’t inexcusable because he’s Kasper. 100% at fault for the second goal, it’s like his boots are nailed down into the goal line. Not singling him out, the whole team would be off at half time if we had enough subs to use

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  

You get what you pay for and he was a cheap option. His career so far suggested that he would be like this. 

[lgfualol]

Honestly what do the players even do in training, there are so many issues that havent been remotely solved. Rodgers and coaches need to sort it out or fack off.

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.

As we have seen whether we win or not, the same issues carry over 

[sdb]

Who's not been utter shit? Evans and Madders in moments? 

 

Gary Megson would get a better tune out of this team right now. Insipid bullshit.

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

Which is my point Luke Thomas is getting hammered by a few again but there are players that are far worse today

Beginning to think Castagne was always this shit and he was bailed out playing in a decent side.

 

Soumare an absolute waste of a shirt. Think he will become a proper player but currently he’s horrendous and has managed to make Ndidi and Mendy look like a desirable central midfield.

 

Lookman making Perez look like he needs to be first name on the team sheet.

 

Castagne has not been good since those first few games when we signed him

after that he got injury and since he is so so poor 

[reynard]

woeful I'm afraid. 2nd to most balls, little going forward and a bomb scare at the back. Simply too many passengers in this side.

 

Castagne hopeless at the moment

Soumare hopeless Will he ever make it in the Premier League, he's just so so slow

Lookman hopeless Send him back in January he's average at best

Barnes can't tackle and totally ineffective going forward.

Move the ball far too slowly. Not good enough in any capacity. Looks like they will score 4 or 5 unless we pull ourselves together.

 

 

[FoxyJim1987]

Every single team we play find it so easy to create chances and score. We either literally gift teams goals or we just don't mark players from corners or crosses. We make shit teams who struggle to score look like world beaters. Even Watford could have had 4 or 5 against us. Burnley scored 2 against us, now these, it's embarrassing shite football. Our only proper footballers are Youri and Madders and they won't be part of this trope for much longer.

So this is what high pressing looks like. Must be nice

We cant press high... ndudi needs to stay back and cover. Madders and lookman too light weight. Vardy isolated. 

Southamoton are giving us a lesson. 

I am fed up with post match radio Leicester interviews not asking Rodgers about his priorities and why we are not fixing reoccurring probs

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. 

That’s bollux Bert 

 

it wasn’t unlucky - it was schoolboy defending for a short corner (and that’s an insult to schoolboy football) 

In addition, everyone in the ground saw JWP wasnt taking the kick - that alone should have rung alarm bells 

[Stevosevic]

As bad as set piece defending is - CM is stinking out the place this season. Regardless of who is playing.

The fact that despite his poor performance he’s been much better than Barnes reflects how poor we’ve been on the wings. 

I’d be abandoning wingers until we improve.

 

We’d be better with Wing Backs providing that attacking width, with two holding players, sitting behind a 10. We need that extra man in the middle, as our midfield gets overrun so easily. 

[HesNotGudjonsonn2]

We are playing bad and more than anyone I keep seeing mistake after mistake by Ndidi but Lookman getting all the criticism like it is all just him. He is as bad as the majority today but no worse. 

[bluefox1]

We need subs on but it will be in the 60th minute as usual,Rodgers needs to earn his money or just f,ck off.

[Clarkey123]

Thomas off 

lookman off 

albrighton on, castagne to lb

Perez on 

[Farrington fox]

I’m trying to work out what Soumare brings to the side other than lethargy. We do miss Tielemans terribly. 

[BoyJones]

Why are we playing with two wingers who can’t defend. Play one of them maybe, but bring in another real midfielder. Gonna be a long night if we bolster the centre.

[Wolfox]

How’s that Lookman fella getting on???

[winteriscoming]

Barnes or Lookman off Daka or Nacho on. 

[Vazman]

The way there playing they must have had their Christmas Party last night, it's like watching a team play with hangovers
