Southampton (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Wtf has happened to Phil, can’t be just because his mams a slag, mines the same but doesn’t affect me doing my job
You have no idea. Phil isn't a robot. I don't know what job you do, but if you were struggling with a condition your performance would be affected. Despicable comment about his mother. Not sure why you feel the need to make such a crass comment.
 
He wasn't sticking up for anything, He was getting wound up by Southampton tactics so much to an extent he spent nearly a full minute moaning at the referee delaying the game playing into Southampton hands breaking up the game.

As for your continuous childish remarks of "Ruben isn't a clown" and "Sticking up for Southampton"...It's called not wearing blue tinted glasses like you and calling it as it is...

They played for a point and got it, Yeah they had shithouse tactics and it was up to us to overcome it, We failed the challenge that was set on front of us, You'll feel better if you come to terms with it...

For what it's worth, Ruben has been absolutely abysmal for 10 months, He's made himself look a **** after the game saying what he said, Instead he should suck it up put his big boy pants on and get his act together.

Saying Ruben isn't a clown.... is childish???

I'm not wearing blue tinted glasses. Today was a bad performance. But I'm not losing my head on here, calling players names or calling for Pep to go because we drew a game.
 
Proper whinge fest on here.
So everyone man and his dog expected us to beat Southampton comfortably and we didn't, so now we're embarrassing/a disgrace/crap/useless etc.
Southampton were desperate not to go down with the record lowest Premier league points, and now they've achieved their aim.
We tried against a determined defence in a one sided game but couldn't break them down, that's football, it happens.
We're still 3rd and in a cup final, the majority of clubs in the Premier league would happily swap places.
Plenty of fans on here, not so sure about supporters.
Yep definitely expected to beat them, did you not? And I am a supporter season ticket in Kippax, then North Stand and so on, we were piss poor today, I don't expect us to win every week, but I am sick of watching sideways backwards,.sideways.backwards, then wide then sideways, then backwards again, With fuck all at the end of it
 
Thankfully, you have no say in team selection or the selection of our coach. One down season and you're throwing a wobbler.

He's been here two years too long. He's stale, his tactics are stale, he picks stale players. He's risk averse, and demonstrates every week that he has little or nothing 'fresh' to offer.

Without 5 or 6 high quality additions in the summer window, we're almost certainly going to see more of the same tactical dross that we've turned out far too often this season.
 
Time to say goodbye to Pep because we drew a game during one off season, coming off four successive title winning seasons.
No because he’s been poor all season & he’s only staying for one more season. It makes no sense to let him spend a fortune this summer then expect a new manager to pick up the team. Biggest reason though he is exhausted. It’s time to go just like 6/7 old players
 
Fair play to the blues who went to day.

In all honesty, I’m glad I swerved it due to work.

Saved £100+ on a ticket, coach, and beer money.

Phew!

I very much disagree and I'm glad those at the club do too.

He is staying 2 more seasons. That said, what will change
 
Bizarre team selection today. Felt we were getting somewhere. Then another pep spaz out and I'm not even sure where we are after that. Why was marmoush on the bench? Didn't he deserve to play? And why were haaland and foden starting? The team sheet did us. We need to evolve away from haaland ball.
 
I watched the second half on a stream and thought we were crap and totally bereft of any ideas or plan of how to create a chance, never mind actually put a foot through the ball and score a goal
As a supposed top side, we are miles away
Our players in training and warm-up practice these fast passing rondos. Why aren't they implementing this around the opposition penalty area when they have a low block?
No, instead we ponderously plod the ball in a fucking horse shoe, gifting our opponents lots and lots of time to reset
That is of course if KDB isn't smashing hugely over hit losses, or as is becoming even more frequent, under hit that don't get past the first man
I love Bernardo, but fuck me, he's been terrible out wide for two years and offers nothing. Why does Pep persist?
However, our utter stupidity was summed up when a cross actually made it into the six yard area where O'Reilly missed the ball and Savinho was in the same line instead of being a yard behind.
Sometimes they are so fucking thick!

I wonder as a 62 year old bloke on a waiting list for a new knee if I could do any better
 
It seems entitled is the new buzz word, you cam say what you like, but today we created nothing we were clueless, slow in build up, allowed the worst team in the league to play how they wanted, rightly so fans are dissapointed by that, but credit to you, you used the entitled word, lots of.respsct coming.yout way from the happy clappers
Every stellar team that has ever existed has a down season - it's normal - incredible that it's taken nine years for us to hit that point. The Blue Moaners love to go on about 'Happy clappers', as though being a Blue Moaner enhances their reputation as no nonsense blues. There are plenty of Blue Moaners who sit near me - one or two moaned all the way through the Treble season. Whatever floats their boat I suppose. We're realists - we want to constantly dominate but it's not physically possible. We all have opinions - some of us have opinions on the Blue Moaners' opinions. Don't worry about it.

Wembley, next Saturday, bring your boots, you're starting.

This is not a down season.

We won’t be challenging for the title next season with this squad, or what remains of it, and new players next season, playing like we have played this season.

It will be a few years until City challenge for the PL titles again, and it might not be with Pep as manager in the future.
 
Whilst no football really expects to win every game it is more than reasonable to expect to win certain games partic with a side like Southampton given it record. What frustrates supporters is when decline is evident and predictable that the Club does not take the necessary action. History has shown in the cases of Liverpool and United that once a decline kicks in it is very difficult to reverse. The sort/type of players we bought at Christmas should in truth have been bought 18 months or so ago. The rebuild is now a much greater task than it might have been

Disagree - we play high risk and reward football - leaving ourselves open at the back in search of goals. You come across as the life and soul of the party. There used to be a sitcom called 'The Desponds'. Could have been written about you.
