Yeah, him and Vale were poor. Poku was not much better.
Varane looks so tired in that match and you can see he's struggling.
JS will make changes, he always does when this happens. Cirkin maybe back in, along with Edwards in the middle and JCS at the back again. Kamara looked tired as well.
Really it should not be this way as they have had a week off.

Today was the day where I realised Varane will never be good enough. He’s so ponderous on the ball. Needs far far too many touches.
And Vale. Just cannot workout what his position is or what he’s meant to do.
The thing that annoys me most is we do all the hard approach play nicely and are then just so casual about throwing away chance after chance in the final third.

Didn't see the whole game so can't comment fully but in those highlights Varane did look pretty leggy. Don't know if he's not fully fit or if his heart's just not in it. You've got to be 100% committed. Even a touch of that and you'll get found out. Jimmy looked furious with a couple of those goals where people didn't track runners adequately. You've got to do the basics properly or you'll get beat.

Varane very good defensively but nowhere near good enough on the ball in this new look side who are all comfortable on the ball. And it showed today massively. Far too many safe sideqyaa and mostly backwards passes, even under no presssure. Just slows things down. Look and play forward. But he can’t do it.

Not convinced he's very good defensively. Gets caught in possession a little too easily and not always aware of runners around him Starting to think he's maybe not suited to the English game. Hopefully a European team will see enough promise for us a make a small profit and find someone with the right skillset for the championship.

One of varanne biggest weaknesses is his defensive work , switch’s off way to easily Southampton ha s it easy today play the ball the the number 10 who p,aged just in front of the back four he dropped five yards in across of space and we didn’t once do anything. About it , shame Edwards wasn’t in the middle today as I don’t thin, he would have been given the space he was allowed , vale was vale poku is easy to read gets the the ball can’t cross the ball so has to cut inside by that time manning had got back and made an easy challenge and repeat , the fashion of wingers playing on the wrong side to allow them to come is due boils my pi%% if you have aright footed winger playing on the him on the right leg him get to the touch line and cross the fecking ball , or. At least try swapping them around a bit during the game , midfield killed us today , varanne vale kamarea got schooled in the middle with easy ba§lls past them for 90 mins
One issue I did notice we wasn’t allowing charles to get pretty easy balls in the box , not sure if he’s not that vocal but few times easy collection for charles we’re half cleared etc by Edwards mainly and dunne a few times , didn’t help things at the ba§ckthats for sure
Whilst I agree that he does switch off occasionally and he perhaps has too many touches I dont think varane was bad today and made a number of vital interceptions.
As great as he has been I think Kamara is getting a free pass here and had a poor game by his standards but ultimately neither was helped by the set up, Smyth had little impact going forward and second half was a passenger we desperately needed yo be 3 in midfield and we got done time and time again over committing in midfield. For me that one is on the manager, I think when he watches that back he will see he got it wrong in the set up, and against a team as good as Southampton on a larger pitch that left us very exposed
