    Archer is absolutely terrible

    One of the worst strikers performances I’ve seen today. And to top it off he was too lazy to close down

    It's not a good sign when both captain and manager lose their heads.

    Very good until the missed penalty. Very poor for the rest of the first half. We've offered nothing second half but at least we haven't collapsed and conceded 6 or 7.

    We have a lot of very good young players supported by a superb Ramsdale and KWP and a bang average captain!

    Not Premier League in attack or defence. Midfield starting to look decent.

    Brilliant for half hour and best we've played all season.

    Terrible second half though. Have we even had a shot?

    Felt almost testimonial pace the second half tbh. Two teams who know the result has already been decided.

    You know what, I'm ****ing disgusted with Stephens. Could have done Garnacho a serious injury and then he has the nerve to argue his red.

    Our last shot was from the rebound of the penalty save.

    If you had to sum Southampton up, that’s not bad.

    Yeah 3 games out and hopefully that means he stays out at that point

    Really poor performance overall. Worsened by the early promise and energy that was surrendered. A game that was there to be contested ended up getting surrendered.
    Echo what everyone else has said - That red could be the best chance we have to start picking up points. Off to bed, not sure why I stayed up this long!

    Spending over 20 million on the strike force which finished 20th? Peak SR. <applause><applause><applause>

    Of course he won’t <laugh>

    If we lose the next three then Martin will say it’s because we haven’t got our perfect leader

    Plenty of positives today still I think to take onto Ipswich which we're much more evenly matched with.

    Massive game that already.

    It's a challenge that every player would make with the opposing player running away from them. If he hadn't done that and let them score, we'd have complained.

    Sorry but disagree. There's no need to fly in the way he did and especially when the game is gone.

    That might be being a bit unfair on Martin. He made changes today when the first three games suggested he might be stubborn since he should have made changes if not for the second game then definitely the third
