Saints 0-3 Chelsea - Match + Reaction

[Saints foreva]

Hoedt horribly out of position for that goal.

[Mr X]

game over even at one nil we are that bad

[Viking Saint]

And there you go....game over

[Jonnyboy]

Hoedt should've cleared that properly instead of the silly short pass with himself out of position.

[Saint Albert]

Hoedt did well to snuff out Hazard at the top of the penalty area, passed it to Hoj who loses it to Barclay, who plays in Hazard unmarked down the middle of the penalty area for Chelsea’s first goal.

[jamesfp1]

Hoedt should have just smashed it away from danger there

[Pamplemousse]

We can’t surrender a lead if we never have a lead. Superb tactics by Hughes.

[striker]

Lemina just ignored Hazard there

[qwertyell]

Hoedt horribly out of position for that goal.

Inexplicably vacated his position to engage Barkley in midfield.

 

Poor decision.

Have Chelsea actually broken into a sweat yet?

Smashed it in.

Bertrand lucky that Kante didn't go down there.

[Pamplemousse]

We had a nice 5 minute spell where we looked like we wanted to compete, now we’re back to form and just rolling over again.

 

I hate our players so much, no fight in them at all. Cowards.

Attack vs defence. 91% possession for them last 5 mins.

[Cabbage_Face]

I cannot describe how much Hoedt annoys me.

This is toatally embarassing at the moment .No pressure and no plan just hope Chelsea dont run riot ,but it should be 1-1 Ings what a miss.

[Mr X]

what worries me is no one in our team wants to play for the badge no one has any affinity to the club

[Saint Albert]

Since last December, Leicester have won more games at St. Marys than Southampton...another statistical gem from the commentators.

[miserableoldgit]

Is that 11-0 in corners to Chelsea?

Yes. Yes it is.

[HKsaint]

Our passing is very poor, especially Lemina's.

[Cabbage_Face]

Yoshidas face when Hoedt made that challenge on Giroud. [emoji23]

The players don't know what to do - they're looking at Hughes but they obviously can't work out what they've been asked to do. Hughes is quite clearly an awful Manager.

[Viking Saint]

Soares should be playing fullback in rugby. He's found touch perfectly with two attempted balls down the line

[Saints foreva]

HT. Boos ring out.

[Saint Albert]

Free kick to the right of the penalty box for Saints...Bertrand gets a yellow for protesting the referee’s positioning of the free kick.

 

The free kick results in nothing and it’s half time.

[Pamplemousse]

The referee decided he wasn’t getting enough attention.

[BotleySaint]

Hughes will probably bring Austin on at half time as his master stroke..

[verlaine1979]

We just don't have the composure or the class to play against Chelsea's press. They've won more tackles in our defensive third than we have.

[Viking Saint]

At first glance, that foul on Bertrand looked about a yard outside the box. How does it get brought 15 yards further out?

[Bad Wolf]

Hoedt is pretty poor, there's no doubting that but he isn't responsible for half the things that people on here blame him for.

[Cabbage_Face]

Terrible. Frustratingly we have some decent players but Hughes constantly wants to play this **** 5 at the back, when our CB’s are the problem. Hoedt isn’t a footballer, but sadly he holds the power.

 

Hughes shouldn’t have been given a contract, wasn’t hard to keep us up, with the shocking teams below us.

 

Looking forward to championship, might knock some sense into the idiots that run this shower.

We need Long on, put their defence under a bit of pressure. I’d have him on the wing rather than replacing Ings or Gabbiadini

[Greedyfly]

This. He's dreadful, but collectively he's no worse than all our CBs. Calling for calamity Yoshida to start just indicates how far we've gone backwards...Even if he could do no worse. That said his out ball was crap but Hojberg has got it caught under his feet for about the third time already this game.

 

Also where is SKD with his 'Lemina is good enough for top 4' BS.

[ally_uk]

Hughes Out end of discussion players look clueless.....

This.

You boo boys who think you know better than all the coaches, trainers and experts, and have decided to blame Hoedt for everything really are blind.

If you want to blame somebody blame PEH for that goal. He's not having his best game.

[WokingSaint]

Thanks!

1-0 drubbing so far. Chelsea should've had two penalties and look like they've got two or three more gears up their sleeve if required.

 

Ings absolutely Shlonging a sitter from our only attack was a killer.

 

But while it's still only one, there's always a chance we can nick something from this.

 

The gulf in class is pretty grim, though.

We'd be better off playing the long ball out from defence and give up trying to pass through the Chelsea press.

 

Expect Bertrand to pick up another yellow now too. The ref was never going to change his mind on the free kick so why the strop?

[Pamplemousse]

Hoedt did well initially but then didn’t track the man. Hojbjerg mostly to blame IMO.

Hoedt played him a hospital pass. Hoedt constantly makes mistakes, constantly.

So all the slagging of Hoedt YET not 1 mention of PEH losing the ball in the first place?!

Commentators also blamed Hoedt for the goal after he done well to get the ball of Hazard.

 

Hoedt shoulda smacked it up field, they had loads of players around our box and our players aren't good enough to play out from the back under pressure.

[Saint Albert]

Except for a brief spell, that was a thoroughly ****e first half, showing a huge gulf in quality.

 

Hoedt did well to dispossess Hazard right before the Chelsea goal, Hoj had some space when he received Hoedt’s pass, then turned into trouble. If either player chose to clobber the ball, it would probably have been OK. Chelsea’s most dangerous player was left wide open when Hoedt went with others to regain possession after Hoj lost the ball, and Lemina did not pick Hazard up. Bad decision making in a very dangerous location.

 

Ings really should have scored. He had a wide open net and skied it.

Does Hojbjerg ever have a best game ? I still don't see what people see in him, never have, probably never will.

[Pamplemousse]

Ref’s been very poor too. Hasn’t had a lot to do yet has pretty much got all of the big decisions wrong.
