    We don't consider that a bright side.

    If we don't vastly improve in the 2nd half I think it will be fair to say Adkins will be hanging on to his job by a thread.

    Haha, ok then. I suppose Arsene Wenger lost the dressing room too when Arsenal lost to Norwich last week? Give me a break.

    Crap performance but how can you make statements like that?

    It truly is confidence. Spurs are in rich vain of form, and are a great side, we are in short supply of confidence, so we just panic completely at the back. I think the West Brom game next week will be much more important.

    To be fair to Boruc, how is the goal his fault? It's just **** defending followed by more **** defending.

    Boruc - poor but not to blame
    Clyne - doing ok against one of the world's best
    Centre backs - abysmal
    Fox - average to poor
    Schneiderlin - ok
    Davis - ok to poor
    Lallana - not too bad
    Puncheon - ok
    Both centre forwards - poor to awful

    Where is the fight? The touch? The ideas? The tactical knowledge? The ball retention? The anything worth watching the rest of the game for?

    ****ing hell we are ****, we can't even keep the ball. The players can't even control the ball, Lambert looks out of it and Clyne can't even see Bale it seems.

    I would take off one of the strikers and see if we can at-least attempt to be stronger in midfield and have better build up play. Spurs at playing great to day we just need a better performance in second half to give us some confidence.

    Because we're not even fighting for eachother. There's no leadership, no fight and no heart. Awful.

    There's a complete lack of confidence in the Saints camp. My conclusion is that Adkins can't motivate the players.

    Their heads have dropped, which is understandable after the amount of goals conceded recently.
    I honestly think that we need to forget this game. Our next 5 fixtures are all winnable.

    Hooorrraaaayy!


    Just got back from Skyfall to see we are being completely battered.

    Standard Saints weekend.

    It's almost like since the Arsenal game we have just lost confidence and it has got lower and lower...

    Even more depressing than the probable result and the disappointing performance is the inevitability of gomarchingin being on here later.

    If Defoe had brought his shooting boots it would be at least 4.

    dont think it is a lack of fight. The far superior side is winning as you would expect.

    I agree. As I said, the next 5 fixtures are winnable games. (Newcastle aside)
