I'm sure his selections and subs are just based on sticking pins in a team photo

[goose]

We’re fucking hopeless with the ball.

[Mad Dog]

Still we've got another defensive midfielder on now.  That'll fucking sort it

[Keep dreaming]

Hahaha, out of Soucek, Rodriguez and Silver, JLo subs Soler. What a clown.

[twoleftfeet]

Take off our creative midfielder and replace him with a defensive win.

I miss Moyes, at least we knew he was going to respect the point.

I bet Potter is sitting next to his phone.

 

[Jasnik]

Alverez on !!!!! For soler. No legs .. respect the point.

[threesixty]

Geezers having a laugh, 3 Defensive Mids on!!!
Against the worst team in the league.
wow
 

[BillyJenningsBoots]

Alvarez, Summerville and Scarles on

Rodriguez, Fullkrug and Emerson off.

Won’t happen though.

The clock is ticking on Loppys job.

 

 

Wont happen cos Scarles isnt on the bench nor is Casey last week mustve been a one off....

[Jasnik]

Yes won't happen as Scarles isn't on the bench...

[DiCaniosLeftNut]

We’re a diabolical shambolic mess.

We’re now half way through the season and Lop has no idea what his preferred team and formation is.

We can’t defend, our players are completely at sea.

There’s no defending nor forward movement from our midfielders. They get the ball and immediately look to play it backwards.

We’re not creating and our forward players look like they’ve never met each other.

We’re fucked.
 

[Iron Duke]

Scarles isn’t on the bench. But don’t worry, we’ve got Cresswell

[threesixty]

Kudus playing like a 10 year old who thinks he can take on the rest of the team but he is playing against adults who just pick his pocket.

 

 

he doesnt really know how to play on the left. He crossed it once and AWB nearly scored. Thats what you do on the left, but he's so used to cutting in and going for goal. Doesnt look like his role has any planning or coaching. 

[Sir Alf]

Is anybody seeing anything other than a defeat? 

[twoleftfeet]

Alvarez, Summerville and Scarles on

Rodriguez, Fullkrug and Emerson off.

Won’t happen though.

The clock is ticking on Loppys job.

Agree with Mad Dog. Take off Rodriguez because he offers nothing at either end. Summerville on Kudus to number ten.

 

 

Not sure I even heard Rodriguez’s name mentioned once. Utter waste of space. Terrible signing. No idea how he’s starting this game. 

 

 

pretty much what I feared. He does nothing notable.

[THUNDERCLINT]

If Onuachu wasn't fucking useless we'd be 4 down, against Southampton, on course to be the worst Premier League team ever.

And still people will defend the clown of a manager. Get him fucking sacked already.

[Sir Alf]

We’re not very good are we?

Lower division teams. Could be a championship game in terms of quality and aside from the first 10 mins Southampton have created 3 or 4 good chances and should be ahead.

Our centre backs look dodgy and we are so slow in midfield as usual. Kudus giving it away too cheaply but as normal we have to rely on them to come up with something.  

 Got 0-1 defeat written all over it.

[kylay]

It's a really good thing they are so shit at finishing because we could easily be 3 or 4 down. It's really troubling how easily they are playing through the middle third and how much difficulty we have going forward. Looking like this will be another nil-nil draw due to a dearth of quality on the final ball. Also, that non-contact shoulder injury is something that could only happen at West Ham.

[only1billybonds]

Fuck me, that was grim. We are so wasteful and clumsy in possession, can hardly string 2 passes together. They should be passing this and God only knows what Liverpool will do to us on Sunday.

[Keep dreaming]

And why the fuck did we sell Downes?

 

For fuck's sake stop moaning you fucking miserable, negative cսnt.

If it's getting you down go and watch Gavin and Stacey on the iPlayer.

Personally I’d rather be forced to watch 24 hours non stop of Moyes’ greatest moments clockwork orange style than that fucking load of old shit. Or this- which is frankly an awful display. 

 

 

Hah, I have you as a foe so I don't see your posts Leonard. But nothing new coming from that keyboard I can see.

Why don't you post some positives from the game, you seem to enjoy it..

[Hammer and Pickle]

This is absolutely fucking tragic

[RBshorty]

It’s a slog. No cսnt wants to be out there.!

[nychammer]

This is fucking dogshit. We've spent the GDP of a small country and we're being put on the ropes by soton. Defence under constant pressure with Fab and Areola sparing our blushes. We missed the one sitter of a chance we have and all our attacks peter out because we literally have no cutting edge. How have we arrived at this place? 

[El Scorchio]

Agree with Mad Dog. Take off Rodriguez because he offers nothing at either end. Summerville on Kudus to number ten.
