Strange subs today. Really don't get what he's trying to do with this team.

The Southampton Way it seems, on evidence.

Why are we standing off so much? It's ****ing Brighton! Where's the pressure? The urgency?

We. Are. So. Slow. And. Dull.

Boom!

Hadn't considered this. Perhaps some considered planning here afterall.

Feel for Yoshi! Interested to see VVD and Hoot together though. JWP needs to step up with something creative today.

This. Our poor club didn't even exist before Lemina signed. We have zero chance of doing anything until he returns. Might as well forfeit the games while he is out. #leminashapedholeisunfillable

Is there a Chinese translation?

Interesting that we are pressing then...certainly more than I thought we do. I think part of the 'no-longer pressing' view many of us have is that in the old days of Poch we'd press, force an error and immediately spring into a fast attack. So the press would immediately lead to action/opportunities/goals (unless of course I'm creating my own fond memories!) We certainly don't seem to spring forward after a successful press like we use to.

Good fun. Our media team does do a good job. Though I can't help feeling that the quality of the 'product' we're experiencing on match days, and this type of trumpet-blowing don't really live together too well. Perhap's I'm drifting towards the Saints-cynic side of the force?

Missed it, sadly. Read about Lolvrens 'performance': is it cruel to laugh?

Thought he only wanted a CL club? If he is considering China, surely it's worth us trying again?

This is one of the big problems we have. He is notably less attacking then in past seasons. I wonder if this is down to the manager, or whether he simply can't be bothered?

A bit late that change. About 5 games late.

Okay. My stream is still behind. What have I not seen? Oh. ****ing hell.

What a goal.

Yep. Let's get Boufal on for the second half.

Seem to be trying to force it more....... Cedric with a couple of first time balls into space around the box. Looking better.

We've got pace in the form of Long, and an excellent 'play on the shoulder of the last man' merchant in Gabbi. Yet we don't even try to use their attributes. We have to move it quicker, and with an attacking mindset.

Yep. Newcastle are moving the ball far quicker and with much more attacking intent than us.

Ahh. I think my stream is behind. Yep. There it is.

Hmmmm. Depends on how we REALLY line up. Could switch to 2 pushed up with that.....Tadic and the useless Redmond out wide. Still no PEH. still no start for Boufal.

Just read that. Solid assessment. We are going backwards, yet there are some very poor teams this year. We'll be alright. Not sure that's really The Southampton Way though.

Must win?
