Agree, although in my opinion, Diallo and Broja were the difference between that Wolves performance and today. Both an improvement in those positions.
-
Yeah. He was superb for most of the game, real quality, then one error, a misplaced pass from him put him under pressure. After that the Leeds player seemed to go straight past him and was on goal. Uncharacteristic. I wondered if there was some miscommunication between him and McCarthy.
-
Only one game to judge but I think Diallo was an improvement on JWP today.
-
Phew! Diallo, Tino, Broja all excellent. Redmond improved, Ely improved, Armstrong back on the pitch. Good stuff. Salisu very good but let a few errors creep in second half, one almost leading to a Leeds goal. Hopefully this is a turning point.

Amen. If only to lose that "still without a win" tag that I can't stop hearing.

I prefer the anonymity to be honest. Anonymous names and anonymous likes and dislikes. It's all a mystery

Quite. I think our generation have timed the global catastrophe just about right.

I don't want anything when I enter a football ground except football and the crowd. No music, no fire show, no brass band, no commentator, and no kneeling. Would save a few quid too.
-
Don't forget the emasculated, simpering police force, who seemed to swiftly retreat from a bunch of unarmed men. Apparently they wanted the no-kneeling banner.

Doesn't sound very inclusive. Who do I complain to?

Surely, eventually youtube will post a video of one of these idiots getting themselves run over. When it happens, it will get a like.

I would like to be owned by someone with an interest in the welfare of Southampton and Southampton FC and not just someone who wants to make money from it. I know that's a big ask when we're talking about a multi-million pound, high profile organisation but I was disappointed when we ended up with a Chinese owner who had probably never been to the city. If they happen to be honest and not linked to murders etc, even better.

Don't get his point at all. If we weren't around, where would Liverpool go to find players? Also if we're incapable of competing, why couldn't City or United manage 3 points against us?
-
I don't remember the last time we got a win up there so I checked. It was 2015 when we had Tadic and Pelle up front with Eljero Elia who I had completely forgotten about. Put it this way, I know we could do with more points at the moment but I'd be happy with a draw.
-
To be honest, I thought he wasn't at his best against Wolves, has gone back to being negative and lacking any creativity. Would like to see how a few games with Diallo turns out.

The amount of people I still see fiddling with their phone is surprising. I noticed one in my rear view mirror this afternoon, ok we were stopped at the lights. They turned green, she hadn't noticed and I left her standing....well, as much as you can in a 23 year old, automatic, Toyota Yaris. 😎

Poor chap. If he needs any help, I can lend him a hand.

I did some internet checking to see if there was an all-women shortlist policy regarding promotions within the police force. If there is I can't find any evidence of it. Seems she got the job on merit.

They did an experiment with rats. They put two in a cage together, one rat was larger than the other. The rats used to wrestle with each other, playing, like a lot of mammals do. The scientists recorded that if the bigger rat didn't let the smaller one win 30% of the time, the smaller one wouldn't play anymore. This is kind of how I feel about Saints. I'm not expecting to win every game but there has to be some hope. Long losing streaks are tough to deal with.

Just back. First of all Jimenez. Got little service but still looked dangerous. I thought we might have had someone dedicated to keep on top of him but he seemed to be waltzing around unmarked in our box too often. As for the goal, I was far away but could clearly see a handful of Jan's shirt in Himenez hand and possibly a kick too. Was still disappointed that Jan got done. I feel if Salisu had been in front of Himenez he wouldn't have got to our goal, no matter how much of his shirt he pulled. Mc Carthy 6/10 - Saved our embarrassment by saving a shot within the first minute or so. Dodgy distribution. Salisu 8/10 (MOTM) - Takes a lot of the player when dispossessing but his timing was good today and I'm not sure he committed a single foul. Defensively solid. Generally knocked it forward well and created a few opportunities from our half. Also looked like the only one with a half chance of getting his head to anything in Wolves box in the second half when pushing forward. Bednarek 6/10 - Will need to see the goal again to see if there was a mistake there. Otherwise reasonable overall. Stephens alongside Salisu edges it for me ATM. Tino - 8/10 - One of the few on the park that wants to get past whoever's in front of him. Would have got MOTM but felt he was lagging in the second half. KWP - 7/10 - Decent but not as creative going forward as we're used to, perhaps the left doesn't suit him. Didn't link up well with Redmond but doubt that's entirely due to KWP. Redmond - 5/10 - Not the player he used to be. When he did get the ball he rarely used it well. Lacks confidence and ability at the mo. Elyounoussi 6/10 - Marginally better than Redmond. Nearly a good player at this level. Has strength and some creative ability and doesn't mind a shot. Needs to pass better and want the ball more. Romeu/JWP - 6/10 - When going forward Romeu sits deep in the CB position far too much for me. Where's the outlet from there? Infront of Romeu, Prowse isn't strong or creative enough to make much happen at the best of times and left isolated in the middle is an obvious weakness going forward. Salisu needs to be the man stepping out of defence, not Romeu. So much for the "No more Mr Nice Guy" JWP...he was soft today. Too safe and pedestrian (for a player that apparently runs more than the rest of them). Needs a kick up the arse. Diallo alongside Romeu for Chelsea please. Adams - 7/10 - If only he could shoot. Pressed better than anyone else, holds it up, passes well, gets into the best positions. Two great chances not taken. Armstrong - 7/10 - Another 'nearly man' today. Did well. Subs - Djenepo frustrating to watch. All that energy and all those stepovers for nothing. Broja - Liked his aggression but felt he was a downgrade on Adams today. Long - Rubbish - absurd substitution. Was something wrong with Tella today?

^ Good challenge on Broja by Broja towards the end.
