No matter who was in or out of the team tonight their was absolutely no excuse for that performance, The lack of effort was abysmal. Players looked like they couldn't give a fuck. Even at 2-1 down just letting Liverpool pass with zero pressure, All Saints players walking. Shocking.No idea what that team selection was. As soon as I saw the Southampton XI I knew they would get nothing from the game. Be interesting to hear Hasenhuttl’s reasoning for it. That said, their strongest team got battered by Brentford in their last game so not sure it would’ve made much difference.
You could argue the same with us, and West Ham being spurs (note both have something to play for).Spurs are the only team in recent weeks who’ve appeared to have even tried against them. Every team plays us like it’s a cup final.
Why ask when they already know the answersomeone should ask hasenhutl why he had half his first team on the bench.
If they draw, we can even lose less than a 4 goal margin and win on GD...
And that's all we can ask. However you look at it, conspiracy theories or whatever, nobody can say Southampton tried tonight. Even Tyler mentioned towards the end that their fans were disillusioned with their team tonight.I don’t deny they’re playing shit but they will put a lot more effort into their game than Southampton tonight . They will still lose but they’ll give it a go
