Finally home. You'd think I lived on the South Coast, not Zone 3 South London

he played for the winners tonight.
Why were we so shambolic is the question? We just set up to play to let them come at us. Sane as first game and we couldn’t handle them then until sending off. Yet played straight in to their hands again with a passive social distanced performance. Even ralf said that at 2-1 with 20 left he knew what our tactics would be. I thought the sane we would sit back and ensure 20 mins of torture. So it came to pass we just left pass the ball around cross balls into our box unattended and a defence if you can call it that was a shambles. We must be the only that sits deep to defend but actually can’t prevent other teams from getting into our box and having chances. Yet we can hardly muster any attacking play in their half and it’s not like they are parking the bus.
We can, but we must get som ambitious owners in first!
A good nights sleep will sort you out ( on second thoughts , it‘ll feel worse when you wake up) !!
Davies? Why is he always left on and reg makes way. We need pace i the team. One moura comes off we only have son. New guy is too slow.
Well were were never going to upgrade all the shite in two windows but yeah RWB is a real issue.
Conte has no choice but to change approach now.
If he has decided Doherty is shite, which is probably correct, then he needs to put one of the attackers in there.
Think Lucas would be great there.
Davies, Winks, Royale, Hoj were very poor today. Unlucky not to at least get a point though. Defensive howlers, Emerson defensive game poor, out of position, too sloppy. Davies deary me - we miss Dier that really says something. Bad game management all in all and Southampton were up for it and it paid off. As much as I hate this Husenhutl idiot, intensity and comittment was there from them. Not matched by us only in patches in the second half. Not good enough.

Yes can’t remember who was closest but no one made an effort to get close to jwp.
Poor old Gazza

Ot just go to back 4? But his to pig headed even though he must know we don’t have hardly and defenders that are good to play WBs or CBs. So he decides to play then all. Simple back 4 3,3 would surely be better?
Why didn’t winks come off instead ?
For one, I’m more than a little tired of seeing our world class forward line and GK dig us out of a hole only to see our back 5/MF put us straight back into it.
In truth how many of our defenders— I use the term loosely — would get into a top four team? None of them would have made our team of Walker/Jan/Toby/ Rose of a few years back.
Would Winks or Hjøjberg get close to a good CL squad?
Kulu was definitely at fault for not picking up his man for the equalizer but the loss wasn’t on him. January is notoriously hard to pick up quality signings and I’m certainly not going to write off a 21 year old based on thirty minute of cameos.
Hopefully, we’ll have the character to bounce back this weekend but this was a huge opportunity missed after Yawnited got held yesterday.

Agree.
Hog was playing all night like he knew that Conte didn't fancy him.
Worst game I have seen Hog play but I still would have kept him instead of little H.
I am still a bit confused about the the game and subs and am a little inebriated TBH but we were doing OK when he subbed off Hog but after we went in front Benta was on the missing list and the whole team was awful.
Don’t understand why we try to defend crosses instead of trying to stop them coming in.
Fully agree apart the salary for eriksen. He was offered higher wages but he turned them down...
Guessing PEH and bentancur are starting Sunday.
hard to digest. Just terrible
Then thank god he is gone.
We don't need more no talent players out there that "try hard."
