Where are these rumours?

Okay - so maybe not Hoddle. But someone with a bit of intellect, connected in the game...... forward thinking. Give fat Les a bit of a grilling........he's too comfortable and apparently all-powerful.

There is nothing. And that is what is so bloody alarming.

As a consultant, reporting to the owner. Give him free range to review football operations right across the club..... understand and challenge Reed's set up and planning. Give a view on the quality of and approach to coaching, make recommendations to improve. If "The Southampton Way" is all that, and Les is some kind of maestro, then he should welcome the chance to have his vision and planning critiqued.

I thought we looked okay in the first 10-15 minutes. We pressed high and moved the ball better...... albeit without creating. Then we reverted to type. We could still be playing now and we wouldn't have had a meaningful shot. The players we have are individually better than the points we have....... we're basically underperforming, without a clear identity and set up without any cutting edge. Just listened to MoPes interview......he does not sound like a man who has a single clue what to do. I cannot picture him inspiring change in the players.

C'mon Mr Gao.......it's time to show some leadership. I wonder if Don Cortese has been on the phone to him yet?

Wasn't there a "full review of football operations" across the whole club, or something similar over the summer? Anyone know what the outcome or changes were? Genuine question!

Hate to call for someone to be sacked, but he has to go. And soon. Need a fresh start.......get shot of Black and Watson too.

He did kind of admit it with Puel. MoPe surely can't be given any more time now. We're dropping fast.

Petering out. We look clueless.....no organisation or fight.

"We're playing the right way" will almost certainly feature in his post match comments.

Do we think the players are really busting a gut to play for this manager? I'd suggest not.

Decent sub. Austin for Tadic.

Damn. Hadn't realised that.

Score prediction?

My first thought too. How many times have we attempted a ball like that? MoPe is incapable of setting a team up to attack.

Good goal from Salah. This could become a cricket score.

So...... have we got it in us to fight back? Or will the floodgates open?

This. A real case of an individual error. Great finish to be fair.

Great.

Yep. They're getting on top now.

We seem to be pressing high, but only high. Looks like we're intentionally sitting deep when they have the ball nearer half way.

Flappy FF!
