LCFC 2-0 Southampton, post-match thread

[Jazzy_Jeff]

Had a bit of a pre-season friendly feel.

 

All I took from it is that I think we’ll be in a better place than them come 1st game of next season.

[Bert]

Give Ayew a lifetime contract for the way he stuck the nut on the ref 

[Fear Of The Fox]

[whetstonefox]

It’s impossible to know how both clubs will get on next season, appoint the right manager and start again for both of us. Now I know what other fans must think of us when we roll into town, they were appalling.

[Filbert Fireworks]

We looked better without 'walk back'. Soumare. Skipp was at least positionally better today. Why has it taken 20 games to work out though. 

Daka is shocking but has the opposite of an ego so not giving him a hard time. 

Just need Faes out for okoli and we're getting somewhere. 

Really don't want ruud for the rebuild 

A decent manager could have kept us at least competitive for 17th longer.

Not really a lot to celebrate we won at home to statistically the joint worst premier side of all time and hardly blew them away.

Glad I got a ticket if only to see Vardy score for the last time live. But jesus wept we have some truly dreadful players

[Grebfromgrebland]

Subbing Vardy off was a crime and therefore Ruud should not be here next season.

Yeah didn't  see the sense in it at all

[Filbert Fireworks]

Vardy blowing the ref's whistle was todays highlight.

Southampton are financial in much better shape than us, but they need to start again.

I'd imagine financially they will be very comfortable next year and likely able to invest well. Parachute payments ontop of the likely sales of Bednarek, Harwood-Bellis, Tyler Dibling, Fernandes and Ramsdale, between them that brings in over 120m imo.

Truth is they're not good but the dreadful management and tactics didn't help at all. I don't think Everton have a much better team than ours. Or West Ham. The whole season we were playing without a football manager/coach.

Who's buying them?

We might do. Some extra dross from Southampton is always on the books. These players have been involved in 0-9, 1-9, 8-1, 1-7 or whatever losses and there are always teams willing to buy these clowns. 

[Fossway Fan]

Thank God for a win at last.

I really hope Vardy gets the 200th goal 

 

Unfortunately too many of our players are so obviously not PL level 

Faes, McAteer etc

Just not good enough.

Faes is a Belgium international... 

I might be wrong but I believe Faes would have been better if our midfield was half decent or if he had a good DMF in front. 

[Tazfox]

Two Championship teams and dealt with them comfortably. If nothing else it bodes well for next season. But I still don't want the coward in charge

Or if he wasn't dog shit.

To be fair on Bednarek I just saw he has a pitiful release clause so largely irrelevant but rumours are multiple clubs looking at him. Ramsdale is linked with Bournemouth and has been a decent player this season. Harwood-Bellis is likely to go to somewhere like West Ham or Palace. 
Ramsdale and THB in perticular will have many teams sniffing around, they were nowhere near the issue this season.

Bednarek is one of the worst CBs in the prem, no one is picking him up.

[Pita]

Nice to get a win. 

[fox_favourite]

He scored but it doesn't hide the fact Ayew is a wonky donkey

For £6m it's a cheap price for a very experienced defender, he's been part of a disastrous campaign, but I don't think he will be short of offers for that price imo.

Surely that goes for every other rubbish centre back in history.

Ffs don't give Rudkin any ideas
