Very disappointing but for me one of the key issues is the formation. Needs to address this to get more offensively. Lakaku lacks support and for the midfield less options hence the ongoing sideays pass. Put Bolassie with Lakaku and there will be a difference.

I don't see how but we've gotta try something. I wonder how many times I've said that over the years.

I said to my Dad yesterday - that there is no pride in this set of players.

He told me not be ridiculous.

This was after 15 minutes. You just knew we weren't getting back into that game.

You just knew we were not getting back into this game after 41 seconds

Getting plenty of fizzers off the 'gloating locals' at work down here today and sadly I cannot disagree.

nobody was offering an outlet when we had the ball, yet when they had it they always had a man (or two) available.

even walking back home after the game with a few hundred over the itchen bridge, I was expecting a bit of spicy banter but all I had heaped on

me was pity..

poor,poor display.

Thought Barkley was Southampton's most effective player, broke the game up well and always found a player in a red and white shirt.

I didn't want to post anything after watching that inept performance yesterday as I thought it would be better to sleep on it . I have woken up this morning with the same anger and disappointment raging inside of me . Far too many average players in the team at the moment and where was the reaction immediately after half time ? I fully expected them to have received a rocket from RK in the changing room but it was much of the same . Lukaku is isolated up front but if you play the lone striker role the absolute minimum is to hold the ball up . No runners from midfield , no general idea on how to get back into the game . Many of that starting line up should be looking at themselves today knowing that they lacked effort and commitment which , in my honest opinion , is inexcusable .

Absolute pure rubbish served up again yesterday and will expect more of the same for the rest of the month. Only this bunch of losers could tip off and be one down in thirty seconds.

A final kick in the nuts was given to me when my mate tried to be a smartarse and return his brother's mini-bus with no fuel in it.
He almost succeeded, but we were on the M62 at the time.

Think these MOTM threads should have a "none of the absolute clowns" option.

Sort it @AndyC

I'll be doing the match report for the Manure game on Sunday... so watch that space

 

[Billefc]

Surely that will just make our players perform even more poorly?

I would seriously suggest this is not actually possible mate !

Stek made one outstanding save and a few other regulation saves so he gets my vote.

I've still not come to terms with the result yet so didn't read the report - soz Blockhead.

The excitement of watching us has completely gone at the moment for the first time in my life. Get the impression a lot of blues feel the same... Be interesting to see what the atmosphere is like against manure on Sunday

4 hours there, 4 hours back for 90 minutes of dross

I am officially a bolasie apologist, I don't understand the hate. Yes he does some things that baffle the mind. He cost what he cost. Doesn't change the fact he's our best creator. I went with him but easily could have been Stek.
