Comment | Southampton At Leicester The Debacle
at 10:41:58
Leicester showed us how to play exciting football with a purpose. Always looking to get the ball forward as quickly as possible, whilst we just plod up the field like a clapped-out donkey! Leicester showed what is expected of teams in the Prem, and we are a long way from that. |

Time and Time again we rest on our lead and fail to push for a 3rd to put these games to bed. RM seems to be inexperienced with in-game analysis, to see where the opponent's threats are coming from and makes substitutions for the sake of it, rather than with a clear strategy. Like you said Nick, we also take goal kicks far too fast, given that we never get the ball upfield very quickly. If we are not using it to our advantage, then we should slow it down for the opposition to trek back to their half, thus reducing any pressure on our backline tippy-tappy game. Our goals also seem to be very scrappy lately, and we appear to have lost our style and swagger. Still, a lucky win and hopefully have got their mojo back for the Final Push. |

Not sure what the complaints are about. I saw a Team giving their all right up to the final whistle, in what was a tough away game, against a forceful and successful counter-attacking team. I cannot remember the last time we played with that much passion, and the improvements are there for all to see. COYR. |

We haven't been able to break down teams for the last 4 years, and I can't see that changing. The game turned when Alcaraz came on. 1st touch lost the ball and was forced to chase back. These mistakes then continued til the end. I think his over-enthusiasm after signing a new contract made his head wobble. Having said that, we know that this was RM fault for so many unnecessary subs. |

"it is harsh to blame either KWP or Manning" Are you insane? Most of the goals against come from Manning & KWP going on a holiday all over the pitch, except where they should be, back defending their area...and let us not forget that nobody appears to be man-marking. |

Comment | West Ham United Agree Deal With Southampton

I'm sure he will be gutted to leave Saints. He would have be an embassador for many years. Still, hope he goes on to get the free kick record now, and wish him all the best. |

Alcaraz was on yellow, but it was a clever move to go to a back 5. Arsenal would have not anticipated or planned for this at halftime. If we had won, then this would have been classed as a Selle's Masterstroke. |

Cannot agree with your James Bree assessment. He is quick and decisive and has great ball control, and whips in some lovely crosses. We obviously need goals, and at present, we are not going to get any with our style of play. How about in training you get Bree and Tall Paul practicing together, to form a solid partnership, because at present no one else appears to be able to deliver in any good crosses. |

We have no identity anymore. We had 22 shots over 500 passes and 75% poss, yet we have no composure on the ball. How is this even possible, other than massive confidence issues. All we keep hearing is "we are all working extremely hard". Well, clearly not hard enough! We appear to have a ragbag bunch of misfits, some with great skills, but I think we are at the stage where the manager needs to throw a few Fooks into them, rather than the soft centeredSouthampton approach.
We also now see why Orsic, CCA, Lyanco are not in the first choice 11. |

Does this team actually do any practice at shooting on goal, Beggers belief that we still can't pass anything into the final third to our would-be strikers, and that they cannot hit the target....and stop putting Frank Spencer in defense! |
