Ok, my opinion and I'll say we won't score against Chelsea next week, you will obviously think different. My opinion, I'm allowed one right?

Not great start of the season, but hopefully he will fix it.

I love the post match thread. The greatest gathering of hindsight prophets the world has known, gladly suggesting a million different ways we could win a game that is now finished. Priceless

This forum is for opinions , and the post match thread will undoubtedly contain opinions from posters who believe we could have done better and why , or should we stop having a post match thread ?

For Ake to even play today took courage. He wasn’t the reason we only drew.

He and Dias performed well today… and it’s a good job they did.

Things continued going downhill once I'd paid £8 for a wrap with two chicken strips in and cup of chips.

First home game this season I haven't had a pre match pint, first time we've scored less than 5 goals.

We dropped points against a team that all the title contenders will not.
Poor everywhere.
No one can defend that display by Sterling. He was absolutely shocking. Move on please, you’re ruining this side. You’ve had more than enough chances to get your shit together again, yet continually fcuk it up time after time.
I’m going to say it now, if we continue to persist with Sterling, we will be lucky to finish top 4.

Way back in the day we would be cheering the result today
Another point closer to 40 points never ever forget we’re we have come from !

Nothing to say Rodri wouldn’t also have also struggled against that press tbf, the likes of Leicester and Chelsea have targeted and terrorised him before.
I thought Gundo and Bernie were positioned way too high today, they were almost inside forwards at times, 15-20 yards in advance of Ferna. It needed one of them to drop 10 yards for a spell and give Dinho better options and support. The inverted full backs thing really didn’t work today

The thing with Rodri is his undoubted strength on the ball, players bounce off him when shielding which in turn creates time and movement... too many times today we were caught lingering on the ball and outmuscled, there speed of press would of been slowed down considerably imo, and created gaps. Our biggest asset and the foundation of the team is dictating tempo, that didn’t happen once today, would one player of spun it in our favour? Maybe not but I know Rodri is a fundamental to our style of play!

Football equivalent to a bad day at office. Never seen Gundogan and Fernandinho play so bad. Ake defensively good but a bit Slow in possession. Sterling is living off past glories.
We can’t win them all and Southampton played well. What was irritating was the lack of urgency apart from the last 10 mins. We looked tired today.
What was also irritating was a referee not doing anything to stop blatant time wasting. But that’s a given.
