we are not competing anywhere around the park

Yep, but midfield is where they're winning it. Nobody tracking runners who are joining the forwards. Not sure how you blame Ralph for only having Diallo and JwP to play in there.

I blame ralph for the entire lethargy in the team. press has gone, no patterns of play.  There is much more wrong (and has been for ages) than having JwP and Diallo in the middle.

 

This is not much different to the other night, just the opposition is much better.

I think we should have played Larios over Elyounoussi

There is no pace in this team.

Aribo looks like he is jogging up top

There is a huge difference in the way we press and Saka/Martinelli is pressing, coaching and automatisms all gone wrong today.

What on earth has happened to our hard press? Completely gone. Now we just stand off and let the passes and crosses just come in. Weak all over.

cant really press with a five man defence, not that we do it when we play four.

Saints, "err, sorry to bother but..."

PSV, "have you seen the fucking time, hurry up, what do you want?"

Saints, "apologies...well anyway, we are in need of..."

PSV, "spit it out!"

Saints, "Cody Gapk.."

PSV, "no, fuck off"

Saints, "sorry to bother yo..."

PSV, .....

My last season with a season ticket was the Pellegrino one, and even I struggled to get motivated for that. I can't even imagine how mind numbing it must be for those who have kept going every home game and seen such absolutely atrocious football since Koeman left. No wonder our atmosphere is terrible.

@trousers would you like to post your league table?

With Villa, Leicester and Leeds now winning we have dropped into 18th :( 

Obviously the only way it was going to go, those three get three points and we get nothing.

Even Nottm Forest showed a little backbone yesterday, what happened to us giving the big guns a hard time at home?

I don’t usually worry about us dropping away, but this season is starting to look it, we don’t have any attacking integrity about us.

Ward-Prowse is not a captain. 
Head down after that goal, no rallying of the troops etc

Honestly I hope he goes now, not because I don't think he's talented but because I think his career is being wasted with us. Imagine him putting freekicks and corners onto the head of Kane every week.
