Southampton (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Confused.

Play Haaland but no wingers.
Play wingers without Haaland.
Haaland is very static.
Teams play the low block so easy to mark Haaland.

I didn't watch the game and it's seems bonkers with Haaland scoring records, but Aguero wouldn't get away with not defending from the front.

It's confusing we don't play to Haalands strength. It's confusing Haaland signed for another 10 years.

I won't turn on the team but there seems to be a problem, is it Haaland or is it Pep.
 
For all the stick Nunes has taken he'd have been better than Lewis today.

Akanji coming into the team and breaking up the Dias and Gvardiol partnership and meaning O'Rielly is dropped is baffling.

McAtee playing ahead of either Doku or Marmoush makes no sense.

Nunes, O'Rielly and Marmoush should've all started today
McAtee playing when he is leaving this summer is just so wrong, Marmoush must be thinking WTF
 
We just aint elite any more in any metric.

Shambolic recruitment for the past 3 seasons has seen out squad is a complete fuck up. I won’t even mention the £200m spent in January.

The manager is a shadow of what made him the best coach in the world.

And the board have managed to lose the goodwill of all our legacy supporters and are facing the possibility that bad news in the 115 case that would fuck the club for generations.
 
Come on, this season and a lot of last season was a very tough watch, this has been coming. It's garbage to watch and a few new players this summer isn't going to change anything. We need a new style of play which Pep can't or won't implement
"Last season was a touch watch"

We were a missed Bernardo penalty and a hangover away from consecutive trebles.

Leave it out, you WUM.

Which is why we bought 4 players in January. Where the fuck are they ??
£60m worth of January signings not even making the bench, £60m stayed on the bench and the other got 6 minutes and did more in that time than any other player would have done in a game that lasted 6 days.
 
The reason we are poor is the endless rotation.
The back four we've had success with the last 6 games. Nunes Dias Gvardiol and O'Reilly.
Today only one played in the same position. 2 didn't start
Marmoush has been our best attacker during this period. Doesn't start. Foden has been out of form but today gets to start.

Haaland not played for a while shouldn't automatically get straight back in.

For me today was on the manager.
Fully agree and we know that when we are in the mix at the business end of the season Pep usually sticks with the h s settled side so why make those changes now? Shite performance and leaves little room for error

Bang on
 
Not getting CL football next season will set us back several years, FFP will become a serious issue.
 
Exactly, you cannot expect us to beat this historic Southampton team without Rodri. Near fucking impossible. The manager did all he could.
Sarcasm - lowest form of wit.
Short memory fans are coming out of the woodwork
 
We've got a cup final next week and it was obvious against Wolves that some of the lads are knackered. If Pep had played O'Reilly, Nunes, Marmoush, etc. from the start today and knackered them out for the cup final next week we'd have people saying he should have rested them in "such an easy game". In this kind of scenario he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
Something seriously wrong if they were still knackered this time next week!..excuses are tedious.
 
we could al

Maybe we should happily clap along to another riveting performance, full of attacking spirit and will to win
Must admit to being at a loss as to why the city fans who travelled 250 miles to watch that performance would applaud the players who strolled around the pitch seemingly doing as little as possible.
