We are not getting battered and are creating chances. 

But it's not an easy thing to watch. Brighton might as well be in a different league, we are the plucky lower league Cup side. 

Taking 1-0 down at half time is damning in itself. 

 

It may only be 0ne nil but we are getting battered.

I’m going to claim I don’t care anymore (I clearly do otherwise I wouldn’t be on here).

 

but my god do I hate him, the back room staff and this group of players. We go down with less than 10 points if he stays.

I have always wanted to believe that Russ ball would come good in the end. I thought we had a lot of bad breaks, dodgy decisions, unlucky deflections but eventually one has to admit, we are just not good enough. 
We spent the best part of £40 million on two players who were key in a team that o my finished 4th in the championship. No strengthening, just what we had before.

The recruitment has been awful and the system, whatever it is, doesn’t work. Teams cut through us like butter and we work the ball through them like treacle. 
Just a bit bored of it all now. My day out at Wembley was amazing but now it’s just miserable. 
I actually thought we would get a result tonight. We could be four down. The players just aren’t good enough and the manager is sadly lacking in every area.

All together now

'We're so crap it's unbelievable'

Sooner or later one of the other Prem teams will have an off day against Saints ... and somehow allow us to beat them. Their manager will quite rightly be sacked in the tunnel.

Where are the essential eight points coming from 🥹

Oh well one nil down, still in it

But TBF, that is what we are with these players and this manager.

That goal was bloody criminal from start to finish. Why have 2 fullbacks on the left side and there is absolutely no pressure on the player crossing the ball? What on earth is Stephens doing? - he's marking space and doesn't even get close to the flight of the ball. And what was Sugawara doing, taking a nap? - he has to anticipate better. The winger is favourite if the ball gets to bounce like that but he's still got to at least be close enough to challenge.

Honestly, what are ABK, Wood, Edwards and Taylor doing in training that we never see them and why are they even here if they're so crap they offer nothing over this lot? Did they get caught wanking over Lucy Pinder or something?

However shit we are right now, who would still rather be Brighton? 

Yes, who'd rather be second in the Premiership, decent manager, good recruitment, forward thinking owner, no much rather be Southampton......🤔!!!!!!

It's one thing being a loyal Saint's fan but you have to be realistic.

Oh, and why the f*** is Cap'n Jack swanning around in midfield leaving THB and KWP as the centre backs when we have the ball? Just... Completely mystifying. He can't take the ball under pressure so he just stands there waving at people, then when he gets it in space he either plays someone into trouble or gives it away.

Is Alan Smith the worst commentator. 

"What do Southampton need to do to escape relegation?"

No shit sherlock. 

 

 

The last time they had one of those was when Ramsdale wiped his cock on the hotel curtains.

McCarthy would miss the curtains altogether.

No one should be asked to play football in those shirts ffs

This. The team are shit but the kit is worse.

Our club is run by cunts, whoever designed that needs dragging out into the street and shooting.

Small point but sums up the coaching of this club - we win a free kick on the right midway in Brighton's half, Fernandes and Manning stand over it and Fernandes takes it. What the fuck is the point of our right back standing next to him!!!!!!

Depressing but at least I thought we put a few long balls out to the wings without trying to walk it through midfield. Think we're up on the corner count but we're crap at them too. Dibling hacked every time he gets the ball, they've recognised he's our only danger.

TBF as blatantly obvious as that is, someone still needs to tell it to Russ. 😀

I hate this five yard closest shepherding suedo press. I hate the use of arms and holding. What I want to see is physical effort, tackling hard and taking the ball. Not waving a foot and staying out of the firing line.

On the bright side, our 4th choice goal keeper made a beautiful pass in our penalty area between two pressing Brighton forwards to escape.  A glorious miracle!

Yeah, and then we stopped and passed it backwards.

They've given up. Brighton aren't even in 1st gear, they haven't even started the engine and they are still winning.

It’s Brighton they’ve got probably got one of those gay electric motors.
