How did that not go in?

Nobody's dumping on him after 1 error. We're highlighting the fact McCarthy has made that exact mistake in EVERY pre-season game and yet we continue to try it expecting different results. We know he can't do it. We shouldn't be expecting him to do it.

I got a bad feeling when they went down to 10. Our recent record against 10 men is really poor.

Management had plenty of warning in pre-season about McCarthy. We all said if those mistakes happened in the Premier League we'd get punished. He can't play that role Russell FFS!

Still scarred from the last time we played 10 and then 9 men Newcastle.

He's proven he's shit at it so why is he still being instructed to do it?

All that good work undone there by stupid tika taka in our box.

Fuck off McCarthy!

Nobody willing to shoot.

Should have left it!

Martín Cáceres. He looked decent in his 1 appearance 😅

Tadanari Lee did it better.

He does get his back up at the most trivial things. He's got a touch of Strachan about him but without the wit. Anyway, left back really did go badly last season. Manning was awful. Luckily we had KWP down the right side.

I also know for a fact he had a bet placed on Adkins dismissal before it was announced. Not the softly spoken, nice lad persona he's portrayed as.

Did anybody ask what the hell is going on with Lallana? Long term injury or what? All that I've heard was he had "feelings" before the Eastleigh match.

He's two weeks away 😁

Anyone know of any other clubs experiencing a GLS (Gray Leaf Spot) outbreak? I've done some reading about it. August 2020 was the first time it was recorded on a stadium pitch in the UK. Seems it has plagued stadiums in Germany since 2017 and they've switched to more GLS resistant grass varieties. Sounds like every Groundmans worst nightmare. It's not necessarily a forever problem but it is a very expensive problem that we won't have time to fix this season. Apparently, spores can come in from contaminated fertilizer, equipment or even on the bottom of footwear. Groundmen disinfect equipment and some stadiums even use disinfection mats for footwear before going onto the turf which perhaps explains why they lose their shit when randoms wonder onto the pitch. Once the spores are on the grass, GLS can completely destroy a stadium pitch in 2-3 days.

Interesting to see Moussa Djenepo playing for Antalyaspor.

It seemed, based on today, that BBD and Armstrong were almost playing as wingers and we had nobody in the middle as a focal point. Occassionally, Stephens would leave defense and be the player furthest forward for us. Strange role for him. Whatever we were doing, it wasn't working.

My favourite moment was the bewilderment of the fourth official when Taylor gave him a high five 😆 Southampton FC vs Getafe CF.mp4

You're expecting us to keep clean sheets this season? 😂

Edozie was flagged offside not Sugawara

Charlie Taylor giving the fourth official a high five 😂

Interesting what this ref is deeming a yellow card offense and what he isn't. I don't recognise him. Does he ref in the EFL?

That can't be right. He grew up in the barrios of Santiago.
