    You’re talking about LB, I was talking about RB - the “no defender” being Aurier. Farcical he still gets picked.

    There’s better defenders in Sunday league than ours!

    Lo Celso looks bothered. Everyone else looks sluggish and disinterested.

    Helped that they had an effective midfield in front of them, but there’s no doubt they’ve both declined.

    Foyth? What’s he done? Apart from imitate Bambi?

    and KWP? That one goes back to Poch...there’s a reason he doesn’t start

    Fact is if he had done what you want you would have blamed him for not starting Sessegnon because Toby will still have got slam dunked by Ings

    Long replaces Djenepo, removing their only caution from the pitch. Two up front, so more for our defence to deal with.

    We’re so bad. If there was a Mourinho honeymoon period, it’s definitely over. With the exception of 1 or 2 players per game, no one looks arsed.

    One obvious point that needs addressing: against West Scam, Bournemouth and Burnley we were playing short, quick passes to get the ball moving at pace and put us on the front foot, which is a large part of us getting the results we needed

    We haven't done that in any other game, and that includes the ones where Ndombele and Lo Celso have been on the pitch

    Is this Levy's fault too?

    Just in case we fluke something out of this **** show, it doesn't mean that there's been any improvement in our game.

    We are as bad now as under Poch 2019.

    He’s the only one who has any kind of attack in him as **** as it might be. Foyth can’t play wingback and well if you ask me KWP doesn’t have it in him to make it at us...doesn’t bring anything to the table

    We all decided our strength is attacking so anyone capable of feeding that will start over anyone who isn’t because I truly believe any combo of our defenders is crap and I think the manager knows it

    Eriksen receives it from a short corner. Still doesn't beat the first man. <doh>

    What's Aurier done other than leave gaping holes down our right flank or gaping holes in midfield because Sissoko is having to fill the gaping hole on the right flank?

    Sissoko in the book. Four fouls, two bookings. 12 fouls for Southampton, one booking.

    Our passing has been awful, we just can’t keep hold of the ball. When we get GLC on the ball in the middle of the park though we might make things happen. Him and Sess have been the only flickering sparks of hope in this game. Nobody else seems to be able to do anything this game. It even Kane has been able to hold onto the ball.

    He has been back to his half-assed, whingeing worst... The Mourinho-effect improvement didn't last long, did it?
