Come on mate. Walker hasn’t been a starter all season. Yes we should have started Bernardo over KDB or Sterling. Foden... I’m not sure today.
Regardless we had a strong enough side to beat that lot and you know it.
Only the manager? Fuck me. You can argue about the team selection in hindsight but it was good enough to win the game. We shat ourselves twice and missed a dozen chances, there was nothing wrong with the way we set up.Only the manager will stop us winning all in front of us.
Foden and Bernardo had to play but Pep will kill us if we persist with the likes of Jesus against the top teams.
Jesus is so out of his depth it’s untrue. People go on about his stats but they’re mainly established against weaker sides because he wasn’t good enough to play in the bigger games.
Sterling is jacking me off now as well. No excuse for some of those misses.
He's been struggling for ages. I'd love to see it but I prefer Foden, Bernardo and Rodri would be my midfield 3. KDB's engine has gone. I'd love to be wrong because he was exceptional but he's been under par for a long time and he was again today.Positives -KDB got another 90 min in his legs to build up his match fitness although he did have a poor game overall.Very flat performance but not that important after the run and lead we have in the league,reminds me of when we beat them 4-1,it’s their cup final and keeps the postman in a job until the end of the season at least.
AgreedWrong, just wrong. You don't have a 130 year rivalry with a team down the road and say it's not a must-win game. Maybe just maybe if like we had the CL final at the weekend or something, but even then. EVERY derby is a must-win game and I am gutted Pep just doesn't seem to get that.
Ruined my weekend and most of the week this has, as it does every time we lose against those twats.
we usually do well against Fulham but soton always give us a tough game. Need to kick in from here nowTo encourage the doom & gloom posters, both Southampton and Fulham are on winning streaks.
No fucking way. Titles or not we cant roll over to them red cuntsDisgusting is a bit strong mate, we're about to win a 3rd league in 4 years. As long as we win titles I couldn't give a fuck.
No coincidence that Bernardo hasn't been playingLast couple of games I’ve noticed Gundogan has either looked well off the pace or knackered, he was running on empty the last 20 minutes today.
Only problem is, she's bang on. Pep never learnsHave a day off Karen ffs, maybe just maybe they aren’t as bad as people would like to think. Their whole set up is exactly what we struggle against pace on the counter and giving away that pen just killed us. Pep is not scared but is human and made a mistake. It happens. Southampton Now fucking huge
