Southampton 0-1 Leicester - Match Thread

[whelk]

At least we have the handsome Nick Berry to look forward to in Heartbeat afterwards

[OttawaSaint]

The attitude should have been “get out there, press the shit out of them, get stuck in and win, screw the next few league games, go for broke!”.

instead it’s “just don’t lose 9-0”.

Casual racism from commentator - Nludulu on Oh no it's Salisu fuck off then.

I feel sorry for those 4,000 poor sods watching it.

[Mr X]

Sorry ralph time up! No one cares if we had lost to the better side having given everything but this is pathetically poor we don't look like we ever had the fight for this 

[DT]

Where is ward Prowse firing up his teammates? Where’s anyone doing that? What a soft goal to beat us. 

[Saint_clark]

Fuck me seeing the goal again, if Vestergaard had been stood anywhere else that first shot just goes out for a goal kick.

[LGTL]

What’s the point of this honestly. Semi final and not one shot on target. We’re just pretty shit, not sure it’s anything to do with effort.

I think I preferred that Saints team that pressed hard, swarmed teams and scored goals...

We're not fast or physical enough to be a top pressing side - we did well at the start of the season when teams weren't expecting that from us. As it is, we're a slow, small side, so teams with decent technique or physicality find it pretty easy to play around our press.

[Saint_lambden]

This is the great 'playing for their future' performance is it? 🥱

[killer fan]

So boring

If there’s one team you want to play when you are 1-0 up with 5 mins to go it’s us. Where is the urgency?!

BT Sport struggling for subscribers?

[Chris cooper]

We are dogshit !

[Ed Rooney]

Ward prowse driving his team on and getting them to up the tempo. Real leader 

[obelisk]

We're not applying any pressure on them at all. Hopeless.

[Chez]

not enough movement from the forwards. 

[whelk]

Odds when final whistle goes we are passing ball backwards?

[washsaint]

How is this any different from the Pellegrino/Hughes era?  I actually think they had more fight then than they do now.

Abject, pathetic performance and if Bertrand, Redmond and Walcott never pulled on a Saints shirt again I'd be happy.  Also be quite happy if Ralph leaves in the summer - he really doesn't seem to have a clue

[CB Fry]

The only consolation is at least we'll be among the top seeds for next season's FA Cup.

[Saint_clark]

Only 4 minutes added time and most of it will be wasted from this freekick.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

If you are going to lose fine, but at least lose with a bit of fight, aggression and commitment. We have displayed nothing, nothing at all. 

[northam soul]

Not a single shot on target in an FA cup semi final ffs

[Scully]

This has been so so easy for Leicester, our attack is blunt

[OttawaSaint]

So I sucked off that Mountie, now what?

[Chez]

Get Vestagaard up front...

Hoddle saying what everyone apart from Ralph is thinking.

[Mr X]

Simple question is RH worthy of another season? he's had so much goodwill with sticking by him after record defeats but I think a change is needed! 

[danjosaint]

Bednerek diving in again f****** clueless cvnt

[obelisk]

Saints are actually getting worse.

[Saint_clark]

So disappointing.

[hackedoff]

Was hoping for something different,but we just got  more of the same.

Can't wait for next season.

[Heisenberg]

Does that count as a shot on target?

[Saint Billy]

Frustrating game, only 1 nil down but we just don't remotely look like scoring.

Leicester have only had 1 on target themselves. Key thing is they scored it!

Maybe read up on who Fulham's traditional rivals are. Clue: its not Arsenal you thick cunt.

I think I'm joining the Ralph Out camp.

Dismal performance.

our problem is we don't have forward players that can create enough on their own. We have to chuck fullbacks forward and that leaves us exposed and we lose. Ply more solid and we create nothing

 

[DT]

So. Little. Heart. 
it’s embarrassing. Do we really want this next season? Or should we stick with Ralph on the Alex Ferguson principle? This is dire. 

[Saint86]

Absolutely shocking performance. No ideas, hardly any impetus or attacking play in an FA Cup semi final. Manager makes one change from a dire performance against WBA and then waits until the 83rd minute to change formation. 

Disgrace.

It isn’t that, you are a self confessed Arsenal fan...

Limp.

typical way to go out given our season so far.

exposed down our right again despite looking decent enough. No response.

[madge]

Been a Ralph supporter but he’s not been able to raise the players and tactically dreadful
