"Look see we are attacking, everyone ran forwards at kick off!"

There or Norwich are his ideal jobs.

Martin wants a Christmas pay off?

We got mugged off spending such a large chunk of our transfer budget on Downes, I'm sorry to say it.

[obelisk]

Good start from Saints. Got them on the ropes. 😋

Got it in the bag.

Lovely one touch break up field by Brighton there. 

 

Ominous start.

Possession watch 👀

There’s the first fuck up.

Russ will have a stiffy at that.

Normal defensive service resumed but not punished this time.

[Saint Fan CaM]

There’s the second fuck up trying to play footsie.

[Saint86]

Should be 1-0

[obelisk]

Total f up from Saints corner. Hopefully Brighton keep missing.

[whelk]

Looking good

BBC Sport ‘Do Southampton ever learn? Almost make a huge mistake passing it around at the back’

[SouSaint]

Sugawara nearly adding to his collection of errors. Pathetic signing. 

[Saint_clark]

Sugawara has so little awareness of who is around him when he's defending.

Needs to be fitted with mirrors.

7min in and I would say it's fucking blindingly obvious that the back 5 do not know what they're meant to be doing, who they're covering, who to mark, when to step up etc. Where each other are... Just appalling.

[Saint_clark]

Pathetic from downes, player free on the right in acres but he tries the cute pass between two defenders in the middle and gives it away. 

[obelisk]

Saints robbed in their own defensive 3rd again. Brighton miss again.

[captainchris]

What is our recruitment like - really lol

[Wade Garrett]

Same as every other game this season.  Fucking ridiculous!

 

[Saint_clark]

Passing fuck up between KWP and Manning now leads to another chance. It really is just a matter of time playing this way.

[Saint86]

The only question tonight is what kind of mood are Brighton in. Do they want a comfortable 3-0 win with their slippers on in front of the fire, or do they want to murder us.

Pretty in pink, defense pretty awful.

It is dreadful. Rasmus must have serious issues with alcohol or some other substance to think this is professional standard or vaguely acceptable.

Good cross from Manning. Nobody there to tap it home.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Downes showing his sluggishness off. Yellow.

[obelisk]

Downes with a yellow already. 🤨

[Lee On Solent Saint]

That's Downes out next game

If I was their PA, I’d be playing that at HT to troll Saints.

Look like tarts and playing like them.

[Saint NL]

Downes hasn't really been able to step up to the PL has he? Another soft booking

It was an excellent cross, more of that please.

What a pointless yellow in the 11th minute, Welbeck was in his own half for crying out loud.

Fucking Downes nobbling one of my fantasy players you bastard

I wish he had Luke’s aim in front of goal that he has on the dartboard.

True, but the alternatives are even less appealing

Brighton hit the post. No closing down. Can't be long now.

Was mental spending so much of our budget on a player that wasn't proven at this level who performs a role that could be done by so many others.

It's really unfortunate we know absolutely nothing about rutter isn't it?

I’m finding it funny in a gallows humour way but appreciate not everyone will. This is worse than Jones, Branfoot, Pellegrino, the lot.
