Edmonton Saint

Austin has to score then.

Agree.

Yep I said the same against Inter. The guy never seems to make anything better then slightly average saves at the moment. Any shot on target seems to go in.

Said it before, but not a fan of Davis. He is so limited and offers little going forward. I'd start Ward-Prowse or Hojbjerg over him personally.

Boufal on for Tadic. After the horse has bolted.

This is ****. Losing a game we should have been out of sight.

FFS. We are so frustrating.

Yep we've been pretty turgid going forward, Can't remember a chance we've created apart from the penalty.

Penalty... Austin Scores

Chelsea 2-0 up, Stekelenburg at fault for both..

When was the last time we had a Saturday game? Feels like its been ages.

Sort of game we should be looking to win comfortably, however we need to make sure we have the right attitude and right frame of mind, as all too often in recent seasons we have lost games we should be winning comfortably.

JWP was my man of the match tonight, Some superb controlled passing and was unlucky not to score. VVD also good alongside Yoshida, and McQueen put in a good shift. One negative is that Tadic should never be allowed anywhere near another penalty for us.

Need a big half here. Our Europa dream is in danger of crumbling down.

Good keepers make saves you don't expect them to, hence them being good keepers. Forster's save to shot ratio must be poor as we only have to give the opposition one chance for it to be a goal. He's a good organizer and communicator, just starting to think I'd like a bit better in the actual goalkeeping department. And like others I had zero faith in Tadic, Ward-Prowse should have taken it.

Why did Tadic take it and not JWP?

For a big keeper Forster doesn't make very many saves.

Same old story.

JWP running the show so far

Terrific atmosphere so far

Rodriguez should have done better

Come on you Reds!!!

Tonight will be the night that James Ward-Prowse finally comes of age in a Southampton shirt. I have a good feeling that he will be our matchwinner.

This is all a bit of worry. We're quite stable and have been growing the club magnificently since the Liebherr takeover. Change can be a negative cataclysm which can undo all that good work rapidly.

Yep in a game where chances are always likely to be at a premium , surely it would be advantageous to start JWP for his deadball ability alone. We have wasted so many corners and free kicks today its almost criminal.
