Saint Albert

Our defending has been embarrassing in this game. I’m embarrassed.

It’s a spoof twitter account for Serge Aurier. Probably just some Spurs supporters.

JWP off for Obafemi...Moi on for Redmond.

Pep shows some mercy by taking Silva off...Ings misses a decent chance with a header from a JWP free kick... Obafemi about to come on according to the commentators.

Poor first touch from Sane or he’s in alone on McCarthy following a JWP giveaway.

Tired and demoralized.

5-1

Sane makes space for himself and hits the post from just outside the penalty area.

Allardyce is at least better than Hughes.

Ings’ header from a JWP near post corner forces a good save.

Decent attacking by Saints again leads to a corner... Bertrand takes it but it is poor and Emerson takes it easily.

Decent chance for JWP and Ings. Good buildup.

“If Southampton fans are still watching, we commend you”... Sigh. First half about to start.

Half time analysts from NBC comparing this game to an FA Cup game featuring a PL side against non league opposition.

I’m not holding my breath. Pellegrino lasted until well into the new year last season. Change is required at the top.

Disgraceful first half defensively. We at least kept it close in the same fixture last season under Mauricio ****ing Pellegrino. To go backwards from last season is quite an achievement.

If that was the case all the trolls would be quiet and forgotten on the bench, away from the squad or on loan on some other team’s footy forums.

Aguero mugs Cedric to get the ball. Sterling mugs Bertrand to score for the 4-1 goal.

Pathetic defending again. 4-1.

Lemina defended well against Sterling there. The other Saints defenders should take note.

Penalty to Saints...great ball from Bertrand and the keeper takes Ings down... Ings to take it...1-3.

This level of defensive capitulation so early in the game is very worrying. “It’s going to be a tough season for them” says Lee Dixon.

Feel sorry for the away supporters who turned up to watch this nonsense.

Romeu should have been picked for a game like this. Odd that he didn’t even make the bench. Perhaps he’s unavailable through injury/illness?

3-0. “Southampton fans cover your eyes, hide behind the sofa” says the commentator.
