Great goal! !

JWP off? Odd.

30 mins left to make sure those chances don't define the match.

Only for long.. As Davis is running well and we'd miss that. Oh dear another terrible miss!

Should be 2-1 basically

Typical that we'd concede a goal like that!

No we need to finish 5th

PELLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

agree. Oh the joys of being a saints fan this season.

I can't agree with that. We already give the ball away too much.

Lots of things almost falling nicely for us.

Long seems to be pushing up a bit more today than I recall from recent games.

What I mean is, 1 goal is enough. We've lost by one goal far too many times.

Pelle is far from being rubbish. But he needs a break from Saints or needs to play up alongside someone. Playing him as the lone striker with attacking midfielders in behind doesn't suit him. Currently I think he just needs dropping so we can try something new with Long up there. Bring him back in as a sub a few times and take the pressure off him.

I wouldn't go as far as saying I prefer Pochettino. But Koeman does not appear very tactically savvy .. we had a good system at the start of the season but he has shown a dramatic lack of flexibility this second half. Hopefully he can learn from that. People have found out how to play us - get the goal and defend. Let us have the ball no problem, we don't shoot much. We don't mix it up much coming forwards. We need another system for times like today.

Same system every week fails to deliver (except on the very very odd occasion). Tactically need to rethink. Starting with dropping Pelle.

Tactically we play the same every week. I don't understand why Koeman can't see it isn't working and hasn't been working for some time...

We look worse with Pelle on the pitch basically. He needs to be dropped for a few games so we can open things up more up front.

This has been the problem for a while. Once we go behind we can pass it around as much as you like but rarely test the keeper.

I reckon he would have kept it in if he hadn't been taken out.

Starting to feel like recent games - dominate but unable to put it away. Then Everton get a break-away second and we wonder what happened.

If we can keep this pressure up I think we'll be okay. Frustrating so far.

We're domed!

PELLE!!

Great goal from Captain Ward-Prowse!
