Couldn't get his card out quick enough for Ronald, I don't think it was even a yellow. |  | |  |

Lissah and Welsh look a far better cb partnership |  | |  |
| Southampton v Swansea City : Match thread on 21:34 - Sep 8 with 1526 views | union_jack | Matos is right though. There’s a hell of a lot of work still to do. Crossing has been appaling. We are passing for passing sake instead of going forward with the ball. Any chances we get we are not converting. We snatch at them which gives the impression of panic. |  |

3 games in 7 days,hard work with the high intensity Matos wants to employ....and we have another game on Saturday |  |

| Southampton v Swansea City : Match thread on 21:41 - Sep 8 with 1372 views | AnotherJohn | Not the worst performance, but we lacked cutting edge. We've lost momentum in the last two games, so we need to improve in the remaining games before the international break if we want to stay in the hunt. |  | |  |

| Southampton v Swansea City : Match thread on 21:44 - Sep 8 with 1329 views | Fireboy2 | This game shows that we arent play off material yet. Soton showed their class when needed, we showed our inexperience. I for one aren't going to moan. Onwards and upwards, burnley giving it a great go at wrecsam, the are going to take some beating. Im sure if we give everything and matos uses the squad correctly we will have 6 more points by the end of the Lincoln game. |  | |  |
| Southampton v Swansea City : Match thread on 21:46 - Sep 8 with 1298 views | joserobertorene | We knew it was going to be a tough match, but it’s clear we’ve improved. At times it looked like the team would give us even more—just when we were playing our best, their second goal went in, and right when we thought we could grab an equalizer, they scored their third. I reckon it was a great test of the standard we need to reach if we want to compete at the top end of the table, and above all, their wingers are far superior to ours. Those are the exact type of players we need; hopefully, the ones we have now can step up to that level. |  |

Is that maybe the issue. Matos doesn't really have enough players, who have the fitness, pace and physicality to play his high press game, the end result being he has to change half the team every game, cos they are knackered. |  | |  |

You have to remember the ball was given away by Tymon one of our best players trying to force things and getting caught, didn't see the first half but even in attack we have to have a level of caution in our play. The season has a long way to go a bit of composure is need both in attack and defence. Not a time for players to make rash decisions you can add the fans to that as well. I think most would agree that Lissah and Welsh are the pairing that is needed in the middle or maybe a back three. Lots to mull over, a loss away from home not surprising just disappointing.

| Southampton v Swansea City : Match thread on 21:55 - Sep 8 with 1133 views | max936 | We looked a lot better in that 2nd half, we just didn't get the rub of the green, Matos needs to find a way to tighten us up at the back, we got opened up like a can of worms far to often tonight, I know Southampton have quality players, but it looked far to easy for them. |  | |  |

Much of the game we are anything but fast , direct or high We see players walking starting with Vigaroux The ball goes sideways too often It’s fundamentally whete we go wrong We do t convert chances as we are reluctant to shoot O was going to mention our no 4 but I’ ll save the site the aggro but he is as he always has her Mediocre Stamenic has now caught up with him so we see two central midfielders strolling around knocking balls no more than a couple of yards Grimes did exactly this It gets us nowhere VIP with us not arsed or is carrying an injury His body language is all you need to see Our bubble has burst so now we regroup Finally , full backs ! |  |

| Southampton v Swansea City : Match thread on 21:58 - Sep 8 with 1104 views | joserobertorene | After several matches, the most glaring criticism for Matos is our lack of options from set pieces—we create absolutely nothing, not even from corners. What’s going on? None of our set-piece takers have put in a decent ball in any of the games. Against Wrexham we didn't even lay a glove on them, and today Eustáquio lumped a terrible, pointless ball into the box |  |

Its a squad game, the players apart from the centre halves and keeper have to have equal game time to keep up the pace that matos wants us to play, thats why, especially with 3 games in 7 days, the starting 11 has to change. And I suspect for the first time in quite some time we have a decent enough squad to do this, previously we have had a similar starting 11 and possibly 2 or 3 who could keep up the temporary but now we have a full bench plus a couple more to pick from. But I guess some people wont be happy with that, you can please some of the people some of the time but you cant please all the people all of the time. |  | |  |

Our defence was not balanced, the two in the middle were to far apart and the full backs to narrow. In my opinion they could easily have scored 5. Our crossing was abysmal and we didn't control the midfield although we did have flashes there. Strange really that we were in the game until they scored the third. |  | |  |

I think that was the plan before tonight. |  | |  |
| Southampton v Swansea City : Match thread on 22:06 - Sep 8 with 1006 views | onehunglow | We didn’t look the top side We faffed again It seems endemic We still fail to do the basics maybe we were in a false position and our hopes were raised and like most fans got carried away We don’t need happy clapping now We’ve got issues starting with Vipotnik , who’s a pale shadow of what he was Lissah is a talent but was sacrificed to bring Cabsngo back Tymon is still terrible at defending As is obvious We’ve got a huge squad yet several seem much better than what we had otherwise Stam and Fulton wouldn’t be playing together As for our crossing ? o mean really A bad night Sort it out |  |
