Match Thread Southampton v Leicester

[Brown Nose]

Southampton look rotten defensively.

However.

Buonanotte has spent most of the first half on his arse.

El Khannouss appears to be actively running away from the ball.

Mavididi doesn't fancy it.

We’ll get something from this game…

Hopefully nothing too serious

Nobody likes to be wrong. Ask Trump supporters.

My mate wasn’t doing it to be stubborn though, or even claiming he was any good. He just wanted it to work. Sometimes you just have to accept the reality though.

Cracked the inside of the post. Unlucky.

I think you could justify 5 changes at half - but Stephy has been particularly poor.

Cruel

Southampton are ****ing rubbish across the back

Get Mavididi off

JJ, okay going forward , but your job is defending

But his job is also to play as a winger. That's what the manager wants.
Normally when you do that, you play with three central defenders, so there's a spare one to move across and cover for the wing back. It's madness to expect him to be in two places at once.

Years ago, during the Akinbiyi era, we had season tickets and my best mate desperately wanted him to come good. After each game he’d look for small signs of improvement, or we’d talk about the odd thing he’d done well. He stuck by him for longer than most did, but, eventually, even he had to give in. It just wasn’t working and he wasn’t up to the task.

And he never got the hatred, and almost perverse joy, that some people get, I swear almost wanting Daka to fail.

They really are. And they look scared shitless.

We know how to beat this Saints team. Just decided to do none of that this half.

Ze system is all that matters

I don’t think PPF was referencing Daka…

Saints fans and commentators don’t know the rule .
You get fouled, need treatment, and the person that fouls you, gets booked for it , you don’t have to go off the pitch

Shame most of the other refs don't know it.

I hate to say it, but these are the shittest team we've played so far. It just goes to show how much we were riding our luck in previous games.

Can one of them be our manager please.

Swap him for a water bottle or a duffle bag.

Ayew and Fatawu on please

Yep. The hope is we nick a goal early in the second half and send them spiraling.

Booooooo

45 minutes of absolute dog filth
