    That was pretty awful. As Schad says, you could pick anyone to replace after that half. Struggling terribly with five yard passes, and there seems to be an extra Leeds player. No zip to us at all. Feel a bit for Tall Paul as he's had bugger all service. Not Sulemana's best game so far.

    Would definitely bring on KWP (though I would have started him) and take off either Stu or Lucy as well. At half time. Big team talk this one for Ruben.

    That wasn't great. Selles out.

    It was obviously going to happen. Anyone who watched the Chelsea game knows we are vulnerable with AMN there. He hasn't done badly today, but offers nothing going forward.

    KWP for AMN, and Alcatraz for Moi would be a good starting point. I'd also be open to Mara for Moi, move Sulemana wide and try to punish them on the counter if they're going to push so many forward.

    Well, we are still in this! Let's have a completely different second half please. Any kind of Southampton goal would be well received...

    Couldn't agree more CGT.
    I'm watching this on Kodi, bloody good picture but poor quality match to watch.

    Mo El is the least effective and productive AM I can ever remember playing for Saints, he's a waste of a player IMO.

    Would quite like to see that.

    I'd even think about Theo, that's how pants it's been.

    Yeah I was surprised at the positivity last week. I know we won and Yay! But literally any other team but a cursed Chelsea would have won comfortably last week.

    We were ****e last week and we are ****e this week.

    I don’t see us scoring many open play goals between now and the end of the season.

    The amount of time Leeds get countered from their own set piece defies belief

    Well, the positives are that it’s still 0-0 and we have subs to bring in who are better than those who started.

    One positive. It's not now an issue of organisation. It's an issue of quality. So it's only one out of two worrying aspects.

    Not sh*te. Not outstanding either. Pretty good for parts. Holding on for most others.

    Was a competent performance that showed a lot of heart and fight, which has been in short supply.

    Compared to how we had been playing before, we were definitely outstanding against Chelsea!

    Yep, agree. But if we'd lost 3-1 I wouldn't have felt that was an unfair scoreline.

    We were outstanding first half. 2nd half was backs to the wall but we were outstanding defensively.

    Maybe we just shouldn't have a manager.
