Agree re CB’s but having rewatched it he was even worse than I thought in real time last night. Regardless of any poor starting position considerations, he makes his mind up to come for the ball then just stands there when he ‘gets there’ expecting it to plop into his open palms when there is an attacker right on top of him. He either wasn’t aware that there was an attacker right on top of him, which means he was shit, or he was too scared to smash straight through him making sure he cleared ball and man. Which, again, means he was shit. I don’t care what anyone says, he is the WORST gk I have ever seen represent us. Just fucking awful.

I wouldn’t allow him anywhere near a Saints sock. Again. Ever.

Please don’t give him the job. Please don’t give RM the job back. Please don’t ask me ‘who then do we give the job to’ because I DON’T FUCKING KNOW.

Yeah I don’t think tonight is any proof of that at all. We scraped a couple of lucky wins under Still. We scraped a lucky win under Still’s replacement. The fundamentals of us being utter shit are still there.

Agreed but you just know who’s gonna be between the sticks on Saturday………. ‘We won ergo Baz must be good GK. We WILL make a profit on our investment!!!!’ Just for the avoidance of doubt I think he is BY MILES the worst GK I have ever seen represent us. The stats prove it, my own eyes prove it. Yet here he is still lurking around and threatening to be between dem ol’ sticks come the next match. Jesus fucking Christ what the fuck is going on.

That sums it right up. Hopefully to fuck we can start to get some confidence from here but fuck me the way we struggled to hold on against such a routine ordinary opponent. Something radical has to change.

What a wanker

This is like a league 2 team trying to hold out against Man City in an FA Cup tie. Jesus Christ.

Manning just LUUUURRRVES getting a tackle in doesn’t he!?

Not as weird as defending Bazunu, which you consistently do. 👍

Yeah mate, Bazunu DEFINITELY better.

Anyone seen Downs touch the ball yet?

Cheers Bazunu you consistently useless cunt.

OK that’ll do. Fucking well played LEO.

Come on pineapple head, tonight is the NIGHT

HMMMMM battling backs to wall win in West London in new manager’s first game………

We’re losing this

Can’t agree with you there Benjii, this has been fucking awful. So has the rest of the season but this is every bit as bad.

I cannot believe how bad we are. Just comically hopelessly bad. We create NOTHING.

Expensively assembled shower of shit.

Flynn Downes is fucking shit. EVERY time a backwards or at best sideways pass.

I simply cannot understand it. Demonstrably AWFUL goalkeeper. Proven over seasons. Replaces not very good but okish keeper. Makes zero sense but then fuck all about this team and club does.

Let’s face it we are always going to be fucked when our striker options are Armstrong (decent enough player cannot operate as lone striker), Archer (same, although I see not even on bench today) and Damion fucking Downs (just NO). The first 2 would never work with each other, or as the only focal point of attack, Downs just isn’t an option. It’s fucking hopeless. We need a hold up man, only option I can think of is Aribo but we don’t appear to want to try it.

Bazunu. MASSIVE PERMANENT FACEPALM. That is all.

‘We feel after such a successful start Ruben Selles we mean Tonga Eckert is the perfectly skilled and placed individual to take Southampton Football Club forward into a new era blah cunting blah’
