I thought we did okay don't know what people are expecting, Southampton have camped in there own half and offered not much either

When haven't we struggled to break down teams that stack their defence against us?

Evans saved us there with playing their man off. Quick thinking. 

Yes, I noticed that. Stepped up before the pass was pinged. Risky stuff though if the linesman doesn't agree!

Imagine being completely nullified at home against South bloody Hampton. What a state we have become.

Look at the positive side, we had 70% possession.

Ndidi don’t half put us in trouble with his wank passing 

Would you be tempted to sell him is the big question really? 

[Guest Col city fan]

I still think we’ll win this. 
The Saints have nothing up front.

BUT we have to be careful to not give away a dodgy free kick within Ward-Prowse range.

He could smash and grab it

Our style of play and ideas going forward are so tired, at least last season Lookman was something different we don’t even have that now.

Not signing Lookman is the reason I don't buy we need players out before we can sign players and we can raise funds for transfers comfortably when so. Lookman was on less than Praet and we could have sold Praet for £7m and signed Lookman for £12.5m and yet we didn't. We weren't happy Torino didn't want to pay the €15m but we at the same time wanted to do the same on Lookman and not pay the option fee. 

 

We are a mess

More shooting please

To be fair he probably wouldn’t have got back anyway so worth the risk. 

[Ian Nacho]

If Barnes had a final ball in him, he’d be Messi’s and Ronaldo’s love child. 

[Marutimon]

How the hell is Ayoze Perez still starting in 2022?

[Sly]

I wonder if Brendan has got the team in a circle and wiped out a lightbulb?

Saints offer no threat...yet i still see us only managing a draw. 

They look really poor and i can only assume that they will be one of the worst sides to visit this season. 

[taupe]

I reckon we've shown good movement and passing. Barnes is giving Walker-Peters a tough time. Dan's looking ok. Castagne and Perez have had some nice moments. Ndidi is obviously not allowed to pass! It seems odd but I've been thinking we've got some useful subs up our sleeves. I reckon Praet might do well here.

 

Ok, it's only Southampton but we're the better team out there and really ought be ahead on balance.

[hejammy]

I think I had a lovely nap between 25 and 45 mins sat here in the stadium. Pass, pass, pass, lose ball, they give it away. Pass, pass and repeat. 

[Tuna]

Not a lot else to say other than we need a goal, come on Leicester!

He really does struggle with the ball at his feet. That said we were spoilt with kante playing infront ot the back 4 before him, I like mendy, but wouldn't want him playing every game either so no I'd probably keep him around, I'm not sure this manager will be around past the game v the fword, maybe the next manager won't want him to be able to play like Rodri or both feet.

Any one bored, switch to Suzie’s MyFans site. There is an ex- Player (Spanish) guest coming on soon.

Yes, Evans was some distance away. 

[Fox85]

Honestly we did play a good half then the area we are failing is the striker position. Love Vardy trust me bit he doesn't look right after these 3 games so far.

Daka had a brilliant pre season and gets the odd 10 mins here or there and is expected to perform miracles.

 

Give him a full game and he bags goals.

they just showed the win probability chart… ours starts strong and slowly gets worse as the half goes on … sounds about right 

[Hilton Fox]

Southampton are sitting back and there isn't alot of space for maddison and perez and Barnes to get into and link up with vardy.

 

We always struggle like this, hopefully saints open it up and attack more in the second half which we will be more suited to.

 

Castagne had a good first half but I don't think Perez is suited for him unlike the Justin/Barnes relationship.

He played really well you watching the same game his link up play with castagne has been brilliant at times

Hopefully Wanya and Maswanhise get a chance in the cup.

 

In the second half we should go two up top.
