Me too, but he usually takes a few games to get up to speed. Hopefully Hughes will give him more of a chance.

Still think we've got a problem with Lemina and Hojbjerg are paired in the middle. Needs someone less accident prone alongside one of them.

Still amazes me how we stayed up last year. Long season ahead, there is still some hope if Hughes is able to spot the obvious problems and make changes.

You'd think that surely NOW he will see we need a change at the back. If we roll out the same team next game then we have serious problems.

Too early to make that call. Hughes now (after 3 awful defensive showings) has the opportunity to see the current setup isn't working and make changes. If he does that, he's already an improvement on Pellegrino.

No chance he'll be going soon. My only complaint with him is persisting with the same failing defence week in week out when we have other options. And persisting with Austin who looks way way off the pace.

Arguably yes, we do. Defensively we are worse than last year by a long way.

I don't blame them entirely. We lack any decent defensive midfield cover. Hoj and Lemina are not the answer in that position. Romeu has lost his way. We have no-one decent enough to fill in - maybe Jack Stephens ?

Teams know that if you wait long enough we'll never score anyway and the players switch off after 60-70 mins.

Again you mean?

We have drifted through the game without any real conviction. We are short of quality, energy and real desire to win. Not even sure what's required to turn it around now. I don't blame the manager - the squad isn't good enough.

There we have it. Zero points again.

Been waiting for it for the last 20 minutes at least. It's inevitable that with all these wasted opportunities we'll find a way to lose all the points.

Potential stamp but I think it was harsh.

What does Austin have to do for Gabbiadini to get a decent run..

I've come to that conclusion too recently. For whatever reason he looks off the pace, despite game time. No real threat to anyone. Trying insanely difficult efforts on goal. He isn't as good as he thinks he is. Hopefully get the winner now

We've looked dangerous but without any serious threat to the goal. Wolves will get a break away goal in a minute. It's the Saints way.

We've replaced all our game changers with average. No-one out there is willing or can be bothered to step up.

Austin playing?

Fair point. At 3 nil there is no way back with the players we have showing the level of "commitment" they do.

Looks like Hughes told them at half time to just try and keep it at 3 nil, don't get injured and move on to next game.

Sleepy game. They will probably still end up winning 5 or 6 nil.

We seem to be outnumbered all over the pitch..

Well yes at this stage it just reveals how pointless trying to stay defensive is against Liverpool. Might as well have put 2 up front.

Got the ball I think
