Wasn’t the pass to Chiesa offside? Couldn’t see anyone playing him on in the Quick Look I had on the replay?

First half tactics were ridiculous. Constant long balls to a 5’9 forward against two complete lumps at centre half without a fellow team mate within 30 yards of him. Finally started getting a foothold on the game midway through the 2nd half and he changes half the team. His go-to strategy when we go behind of just slinging on as many forwards as possible leaves a lot to be desired too.

Damp squib that. Ive got some serious concerns about Still.

Bazunu beaten all ends up by a shot at the middle of his goal 🙄

If ever there was a player destined for a move to Turkey, it’s Aribo.

Correct. May as well have a ghost in goal.

Proper scummy club. Love playing the victim card whenever it suits them but can’t resist constantly indulging in underhanded tactics themselves.

They all count…

I wouldn’t say no to an oral offer right now…

Interesting couple of days. Nice to see some decent incomings although shame about Fetnandes. Anyone else’s excitement tempered somewhat by this perseverance with the Bazunu in goal experiment? He’s going to cost us points. Arguably already has. 2nd versus Stoke was easily saveable.

Perhaps returning to our ‘use us as a stepping stone’ transfer approach. It’s obvious that our decline the past few years started when we started making life difficult for players when looking to leave. As annoying as it always was seeing players like Mane and van Dijk play for us for 1-2 seasons before earning their moves, if the alternative is 5 years of Nathan Redmond or Jan Bednarek, I know which approach I’d prefer.

How underwhelming did that transfer end up being as well?

He’s a fantastic keeper. Providing he doesn’t have to do much goalkeeping….

The lack of presence up front is shocking.

Just read this after echoing the exact same sentiment myself.

Decent servant but his involvement in and around the first team has coincided with a complete decline in fortunes for the club. Can't all be blamed on him of course but its also no coincidence. Always good to have an experienced head at centre back to mentor the younger ones but when he's the experienced head and the baulk of his career experience is at Saints playing in a constantly worsening side I can't imagine the youngsters he's meant to be mentoring are thinking 'christ, I better listen to this guy - what a career he's had, he can teach me a thing or two..' Good luck to him though. Porto's a great club and a lovely city. My current employers head office is in Porto so I've spent a fair bit of time there. Very well supported, big club and a lovely city. Its a really good move for him.

I once got promoted from concourse catering to waiting in the Mick Channon suite and then promoted again a few weeks later to an executive box host, once looking after Posh Spice and a baby Brooklyn Beckham. That’s got to be up there with the best, surely?

As was getting relegated with them, no?

We'll be lucky to get £20m for him. He's not as good as people seem to think. Admittedly been far too overplayed this season but he's got a long, long way to go.

But enough about Harwood-Bellis...

.

Worst keeper I've ever seen for Saints. Bar none. I'd genuinely have Angus Gunn ahead of Bazunu. "Oh but he's great with the ball at his feet..." Put him in midfield then because he can't shot-stop to save his life.

The team needs experience, character and leadership.
