[Bad Wolf]

I'm sure the goal will be Bazunu's fault.

Hmm. KWP fortunate there. Didn’t look too different from Casmeiro on Sunday 

Apart from being nowhere near his shin, winning the ball and it not being a foul, let alone red. Yeah, not too different at all. 

[Convict Colony]

Way way too chaotic

[hackedoff]

Far too many of these performances this season yet bugger all gets done about it.

[OttawaSaint]

Fuck our players are as thick as mince!

We get into a good position and some dullard tries a backheal or something. Keep it fucking simple!

Not at all. 

 

Diallo is actually playing well from what I've seen as well for those slating him so far.

In the '90s some of our posters may have been young enough to be in nappies, so that might be true. 🙂

[Saint NL]

Adams is so isolated, he has to pass backwards to find someone 

[sfc4prem]

We're not out of this game.

Sure, some will say that. But the replay clearly shows McCarthy holding him back from making a superhuman dive and save. 🙂

Why play Diallo over Lavia? I've no idea why he does this. It's stupid. 

He hardly does it for the sake of it. There has been a problem with Lavia's fitness all season - relying on a kid who's previous experience was under 23 football was always a risk

Better start creating chances then. We've had nothing this half. 

[OttawaSaint]

Could we just fucking find something, anything to get a goal or three? 

[Mr X]

Get Lavia on even if he needs a splint in his leg 😂

[allsa001]

Think we need to bring on tall Paul. Would also keep on Adams.

[Saint_clark]

Lavia on for Elyounoussi at half time please.

[Monk]

We are so poor at transitioning, we always allow for the opposition to recover the depth of the ball and reorganise even on dead balls. 

Selles has got the team selection wrong this evening. 

[harvey]

If you've got Diallo and Ely in your starting 11 you may as well give up.

[Saint NL]

For the second half, I'd like to see a shot on target.

 

[vectraman]

Please someone - how do I listen to this on the radio on Alexa? 
radio Solent plays bloody music 🙁

[Archers Road Stand]

HT. Piss poor. No urgency. 

[adrian lord]

God, there’s been some literally laughable Southampton play the last few minutes

Yep, offered absolutely nothing as per. 
 

Our final ball has been woeful, so easy to defend against 

[OttawaSaint]

Moi's now blocking Saints passes. Get him off, he cock blocks the whole team. 

[Baird of the land]

I think we need to get Mara or Onachu on alongside adams, we just look neat and tidy buit completely devoid of any threat

[OttawaSaint]

That's piss poor from Perraud!

What are you on about, fishing for an argument 😂

[Galway saint]

You can’t play both diallo and moi and be creative - again we look stodgy

No idea why you would think a 20 year old would be  more injury prone than a 30 year old.

[Saint86]

This game would suit tall Paul, wer'e playing with quite a slow tempo and a lot of hopeful balls into the box.

That was so frustrating.

You can't play either of them and be creative it's like having ten men 

[verlaine1979]

That last Perraud cross is a great illustration of Adams' poor positioning and movement in the box. Both the keeper and a CB were between him and the ball, but he made no move to try and get ahead of either of them. He just stuck with his position in the hope that somehow they'd both miss the ball and it would reach him, rather than moving towards the near post and finding space himself.

Thank you 🙏 

[FarehamSaintJames]

Not there tonight, but listening to commentary it sounds like I’m not missing much.

Very dull and un-attacking from what I’ve heard.

[OttawaSaint]

Was excited for this game but we've been so tepid. Don't look life threatening at all. 

Big HT talk now. 

Expecting more of the same though.

2-0 to us

i revise this prediction to 2-1

[hackedoff]

Southampton football club look like they are fulfilling their obligation in laying on a football match. And nothing else seems to matter.

[Brissysaint]

Not all over yet, a few of those through balls get through we’re right in there, also gotta figure out how to exploit the left side more, perrued has got into good crossing positions but no one to aim at.

And some of them are old enough to be in nappies again now!

[harvey]

Nothing going forward, just hopeful balls in to the box....we're down.

[Chez]

Our crossing is fucking terrible. 

[bangkoksaint]

Wrong team selection

Players can’t string passes together

No shots on target

……………much of the same then? 
 

People were saying this wasn’t necessarily a must win game. I don’t buy that and I think tonight followed by Saturday will see us cut adrift.

[Farmer Saint]

As has been said many times, we just don't create enough, and haven't for years. Most of our goals come from "worldies" or mistakes.
