Oh. And NOT Koeman. Let's not forget he was ****ing dismal for a chunk of his time here and got lucky with Long hitting the form of his life.

Need to stop trying to be clever (i.e. cheap) and go for someone we really want, even if they are in a job...rather than someone available (unless it's Tuchel! - no chance though). And get him now, so he has time to take a proper look before January. Don't see the point of an interim.

Wonder if we could tempt Hoddle to come in and replace Les?

Thought we looked a little better early on...... moving the ball quicker. But that didn't last much past 20 minutes before we reverted. We're not a team. We're not well-drilled and working together. We're no longer remotely entertaining. I'm usually pretty positive and supportive, but MoPe is not good enough. Simple as that. Time for him to go, sadly.

Lots of booing at the whistle. Freddie: what do you think of The Product now? Chairman Gap: you going to do anything? Nelly: helping anyone to pack their trunk? Going to put a Stranglers track on: Something Better Change.

Yep. Players look slow, passionless and without real direction. Hate to jump on the bandwagon, but for me MoPe's time is up.

So that old question...... manager ****, or players not good enough? Ultimately it's up to the manager to get a tune out of the team.... sadly MP is miles off.

A bit better....at least we have forced a couple of saves.

Great piece of skill.

Fabulous piece of skill from Boufal, spinning away from a couple of players...and Redmond slows it down and doesn't use the overlap.

Cedric seems to be going for the ball over the top - a lot.

So no Hoot - perhaps the 'Yoshida for when we face quick strikers' approach? Redmond, Tadic and Boufal together - which Saintsweb wisdom (and a bit of history too) suggests can't work. Davis in may mitigate this I guess..helping knit things together. Definitely attacking intent here. Let's hope they can deliver for once.

Just tuned in.....how are we?

Decent line up - might watch it...is it on anywhere?

Will he be backed in January? Do you have any interesting snippets?

It's gone past any type of knee-jerk reaction...... we're going nowhere at the moment. I remember comments last season about how players were concerned how standards were slipping. So..... what are they doing now? No apparent shape or style beyond slow, possession dullness. Can't see it improving sadly.

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
