Southampton (A) - Carabao Cup | Post Match Thread

I agree totally £250 with trains hotels etc to watch that shite we are not entitled to win any game but we were really fucking shite anyway in my room now 4 hours home tomorrow dog shit

I don't think players have any idea how hard a fan has to work to go to a game like that. That £250 has to be on top of all the expenses of your home rent, transport, food, heating, clothes etc. I bet it would take at least 2 weeks graft to save that up on top of a fans other costs. How any player can stroll around not caring is just barmy.

Southampton drew with Arsenal at St Mary's not so long ago in the League. We didn't respect them enough with that team . The Derby was more important for Pep. I can understand that but we must go back to a back four .

Walker right back- no inversion ( Lewis as back up. Can't start Derby but could come on later)
Pick from Stones Ake Akanji as centre backs . I'd even give Laporte the left back position over Cancelo. A good foundation. The rest of the team will follow .

Let’s hope we can do what The Scum used to do sometimes in the noughties. Win the Premier League off memory even though they were shit.

No urgency even when we were chasing the game

This drives me crackers. We exchange drive and determination for passes across the back line. What has happened to us? There are only a few occasions this season whereby we have played well.

 

[Goater=Legend]

We miss David Silva, someone comfortable on the ball that can pass forward in midfield. We spend about 5 minutes passing it at the back then to the full backs who just pass it back or gives it away.

 

[Blue and still suffering]

We did?

One in January and one in April

Haaland hasn’t dipped in form, he’s just not being supplied by the players behind him. Our creative outlet is a mess.

Yep. Buy the worlds best striker and neglect to feed him

Pep.s cunning plan ! We dont need another 3 games ! Ha ha

Im getting tired of Pep playing russian roulette with the line-ups. We havent been played off the park in any game this season, we've lost games because of the way we set up and over-complicated tactics. This defeat is on Pep

gomez was superb v chelsea, philips had to start sometime but surely pep couldn't in his wildest dreams think he was that shit, granted walker was out of position but for the rest of the team, no excuses it's on them!

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Ah so that's why they are propping up the league. No night matches

No. I said it affected US.
