Southampton (A) - Carabao Cup | Post Match Thread

Im trying o put my fury to one side. I'm used to defeat over the last 42 years but I can never accept that. The manager and players handed a poor side that Cup tie on a plate. It's not so long g ago in terms of games that Brentford gave us a lesson. Too many half arsed performances after a half arsed team selection. They should pay the fans travel and ticket money back.
 
Now I have calmed down and can think more clearly, Peps over rotation saw us dumped out of the Carabau last season ditto the dipper FA cup semi, choked big time from relative comfort in the CL, same in the PL bar a season saving 15 minute cameo by Gundo. Now this total bin fire, not consistent enough for the PL. Drawn against the best team in the country in the FA cup and the CL is our kryptonite. A win at Ragworld is a must.
 
Just a side note. We weren't good enough obviously. Does anybody else think the pitch was terrible? Apologies if already mentioned
 
I’m not sure about that. I actually think rhythm is a mystery.

Seriously though generally, I know it hurt whilst it was on, but I’m happy to let it go. They didn’t play like a bottom of the league team, and anyway, we’ve got much bigger fish to fry this season. Now if we get rolled over on Saturday, that will be worth getting concerned and grumpy about.

At least tonight showed up the myth about our squad, and talk on here pre-match of the club being able to field two XI’s capable of competing for all trophies.

It’s one spouted regularly in the wider media too, about our superior “squad depth”
Also this squad myth.. ...we do carry a lot of players really ...

We are a million miles off CL in reality..rested players or not

Couldn't agree more this 2 x team thing is shite. Half of our team in his first half genuinely wouldn't be starters in most teams incl Southampton..you cant beat a prem side with Phillips, Palmer Gomez, and Cancello in his formmm that's a third of the team FFS
