Think for themselves. That's it in a nutshell. Ralph may have told them to play like this, who knows, because he doesn't seem to be owning up to it. Son & Kane sussed out our tactics very early on and took full advantage of it. There was no time in those 90+ minutes when our players thought for themselves and changed things to try to stop the rot. Why is that? Is Ralph's law sacred? Are they scared of his reaction if they don't play his way? Think they will be dropped if they disagree with him? Because if that's the case and Ralph sticks to this suicidal method of play we are in deep, deep trouble.

5 minutes was all Long needed to waste a good cross from Obafemi. Long was right in front of the Brentford goal and according to the commentator 'got his feet muddled up'. Summed the game up really.

Let's hope Mr. Bale hasn't signed before Sunday.

I know. Every season I am filled with optimism for better things. I thought if the team came back with the same mindset and enthusiasm they showed playing their last few games just a few weeks ago we would be in for a decent season. I ought to know better by now.

Although we live in a democracy with free speech, some opinions are better left unsaid. Le Tissier will always be one of the greats for Southampton fans but his tweets are weird to say the least and will be offensive to many people, so I suppose he isn't worth the trouble as far as Sky is concerned. If he doesn't keep his opinions to himself he may well find himself down the Job Centre. I would think Alex Scott has as good a chance as any of filling one of the three empty seats.

United are well known for paying stupid money. Sanchez must have been one of the worst and most expensive signings they made and all to spite City who were showing interest in him at the time.

I could happily vote for most of them as MOM. Still not convinced about Vestegaard or Long. Walker-Peters is learning and improving and despite me thinking Adams was not Premiership quality he showed that he may be capable of good things next season. I so wished Ings had scored that penalty last week but he can still pat himself on the back for a great season. I would like to see us sign a solid goal scorer to partner Ings and a robust defender. Credit to all at the Saints.

The Champions League teams he was hoping to join have obviously seen him play. Nice to finish higher than Everton too.

Amen to that. Anyone but Vardy to win it. I still haven't got over him crocking up Van Dijk!

All credit to Ings this season but why on earth do penalty takers have to faff about mid-run before kicking the ball? I don't think that puts the goalie off at all but I feel that the penalty taker loses some momentum and often makes a muck up as Ings did yesterday. If he had scored he would be 1 goal behind that little twit Vardy. I do hope Ings hasn't shot himself in the foot.

A very good post and spot on for our current situation. PEH says he wants to play for a Champions League team. We will have to hope they haven't seem him play because if they have they won't want him. A player full of his own self-importance. Adams seemed a good buy but he hasn't adapted well to Premier League football and looks out of his depth to me. I have no idea how much Ralph will have at his disposal for buys in the transfer window but I would like to see him sign a couple of good, solid goal scorers. Saints have been fortunate that Ings has kept injury free because where else would 15-20 goals a season come from? Not Long that's for sure. Out with the old and in with the new and from the way Saints have played since lockdown dare we hope for a decent season?

We need to regret the start of the season, not just the Everton game.

Saints really deserved their point. I hope Obafemi gets more play time. I would prefer to see him in the starting line-up instead of Che Adams, who was a weak link tonight.

Edge of the seat game despite not really having anything to play for, which showed real professionalism on their part. A true team performance and difficult to choose just one of them as Man of the Match. Pleased for Che with his 1st Saints goal and what a goal. Pleased for Ralph who has had his ups and downs and pleased for us supporters who have certainly had our ups and downs. Well done Saints!
