Southampton (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Wayneclarkemunchescarrots]

Baffling selection where Lewis and gvardiol see more of the ball in creative areas than any attacking players .

 

[Pedestrian]

We need a new manager it’s been obvious for a while. Accept it and get one. Those January signings were definitely not endorsed by pep. We’ve scraped through the season and are now an absolute shell of a team.

 

[Double R]

Absolute garbage display of attacking football against one of the worst teams in premier league history.
The lack of ideas and creativity this season has been truly staggering.
All of a sudden we are back in a top 5 battle.
Feel sorry for our travelling fans, been served up some shite this season.

 

[youngbob]

Which bit of that system worked? It was slow, ponderous, dog shit walking football that we have played whenever the combination of Peps brain and Haalands workrate meet

We had 72% of the ball, 26 shots, and about 80-100 touches in the Southampton area. If the lads can't score with those stats then that's not on Pep.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Marmoush did more in 6 minutes than haaland did in 90

I will no doubt be piled on and pilloried but I don't rate Haaland that much.

I miss Sergio.

 

[Beanhead]

We have now made life incredibly hard for ourselves. If Bournemouth beat us which is more than feasible after the final.. I don’t think we’ll make top 5. This result Was not acceptable. Embarrassing.

 

[Stelea]

Start a game with a line up like that, you get what’s coming.
No surprise McAtee, Foden and Lewis all got fucked off.
I don’t want to see them fuckers again this season!
We will get battered next week whatever side we pick. We are wank

 

[I'm Blue]

That's not on Pep today. Not for me. The system worked perfectly, the lads just couldn't get it done.

He should maybe have put Marmoush on earlier, but otherwise the usually reliable old guard let him down.

I agree.
Some of our play today was like Sunday league.
Crap, crosses, shit corners and piss poor effort all round.

 

[Gabriel]

Probably a timely reminder of just how poor this season has been and why there should be no sentimentality when it comes to the overhaul.

 

[p.taker]

What are the good hotels in Kazakhstan?

 

[Phoenix900000]

What is the flying feck was that trash?

 

[YaYa's Left Peg]

Made no sense dropping Marmoush. In fact starting line up made no sense at all.

 

[akrh215]

Dogshit performance... Disgrace.

 

[pride in battle]

Fucking shite pathetic team choice too Mcatee should be no where near starting same with whoevers wearing that foden shirt.

He's been absolutely shit, yet Pep keeps picking him!! Absolute madness!

 

[eyalluvitt]

And that's why Pep's time should be up.

You need to win the game and there was nothing offered in that first half.


See the difference Doku made and then O'Reilly, Marmoush and, to a lesser extent, Savinho.


Why on earth didn't they start?

Arrogance

 

[wolviedinho]

This game is a perfect example as to why 5 players min need to go.

Awful from min 1. Walking round the place. No shits given and then scramble about last min.

It’s dirt like this focuses the mind to how far we have fallen.

Pep picking the same players all season.

I voted no to getting top 4. Still think we could miss out and maybe that’s what is needed to stop the rot and focus minds as to the task ahead.

 

[homerdog]

Southampton have conceded an average of 4 goals a game this season - we scored once in 2 games. Not fucking good enough and if the players had a conscience, they would donate their wages for both games to charity!

 

[Keeper!]

KDB would struggle for a game at Maine Rd FC, 499k a week extension? FFS laughable

 

[Fordyboy46]

Cos he regularly struggles to make top teams, doesn't he.

OK one which is exciting to watch like we used to be

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

I can usually find something positive to say but not after that. A shit-show from beginning to end.
