Southampton 1 v 4 Leicester City FA Premier League Friday, 15th September 2023 Kick-off 20:00 |
Avior added 15:34 - Sep 16 Woeful. There is not enough space to go through the problems. I can only assume RM failed GCSE math’s because he clearly isn’t familiar with percentages. No man back at corners, tippy tappy by your own box when being pressed and resorting to goal rush is just asking for trouble. Small one was one of the worst performances I have ever seen SaintPaulVW added 15:47 - Sep 16 With a young side and a makeshift Center back partnership, the worst thing that could happen was an early goal. Nuff said. We then became headless chickens for most of the first half. The second worst thing that could happen was a goal right before half time. Defence went missing and so it goes. I thought KWP and Smallbone were spectacularly off the pace last night. Manning, this season's new scapegoat, was duff in the first 20 minutes but got better after that. Bazunu played well but with little help was always going to let a few in. For some reason our best player was taken off and Sulemana then came on to play as a quicker Djenepo, runs past people but no end product. I look forward to the earnest interviews with players explaining they are sorry and will put this right. Do they care, really? Last night, familiar stuff from the last 2 years - we can't defend or attack - certainly can't finish fairly straightforward chances - Edozie excepted. We very quickly, need to learn to do at least one of these. I accept RM has been appointed to play a particular style of football but so far teams seem to know how to counter this style and our players don't seem able to execute it. Anyway, on to Ipswich - COYR! RedandWight added 19:26 - Sep 16 YosemiteSaint added 21:09 - Sep 16 I think we've made some progress. Instead of losing 9-0 all at once, we've spread it over two matches and thrown in a goal scored as a bonus! allsaint54 added 21:40 - Sep 16 SanMarco added 22:18 - Sep 16 RM will not survive long. 7 competitive matches, 19 goals conceded and only two decent sides played. We were warned we would get plenty of ineffectual tippy-tappy and be sh1te in defence and lo and behold.... We will of course be told that things will get better but how will that happen with a manager who doesn't seem to think that defending matters. If you watch those four goals they weren't individual errors it was the whole bloody team. Bowlercow added 22:32 - Sep 16 Downes and Smallbone did very little wrong but the totally failed to stamp their authority on the game In any way The chances we did get we're almost accidental and no one was prepared to put their body on the line or take responsibility Martin is on the verge of losing the crowd and another home defeat on Tuesday will just about do it sandywelsh added 22:15 - Sep 17 Looks like we got the wrong player from Swansea. We got the Duff Manning while Leeds got the top Striker Piroe who scored 2 goals to help Leeds win today. You need to log in to participate in Your Report | Your Report
