Match Day Thread Southampton v Leicester, Sat Oct 19th, 3pm

He pulled his shirt for a good 5 seconds with 2 hands as well.

 

Fernandes just shouldn’t come off basically.

 

Only viable sub for Fernandes is Lallana imo.

What the **** bringing Smallbone back on is meant to do is beyond me.

 

Pretty obvious to everyone. He’s a class above.

Problem is, he’s young. So we do need to protect him..

 

If we want to stay in the Prem, play your best players.

 

Can we sub on Stephens to have words with the ref?

 

He got the starting line up right, but these subs have been something else.

 

If you want to stay in the Prem, play Premier league level players.

He’s giving more minutes, starts and chances to players he didn’t deem good enough to play in the Championship last season

 

And get him banned for another 5 games? Sounds like an excellent idea to me tbh.

 

Onuachu was having his shirt pulled for about half an hour longer than Vardy was too.

 

Reminds me of way back when Jenas was in the England squad as a reserve but it was pointless. As a (late) sub he offers nothing as he isn’t going to be likely to get a goal and neither is he going to shore up the midfield to help see the game out.

 

Very true. Not ruthless enough

 

Surely we should remember from the peter crouch days that tall players can have that done to them and the refs just don’t care at all. Happened for both England and Southampton

 

Just checked the score. We really ****ed this up didn’t we?

 

What flashed up on the screen there about a VAR overturn?

 

No

 

Just mad subs!

It's pretty poor that someone like Sulemana is on the pitch today. Last season, he could barely get off the bench.

We signed Diaz & Cornet in the summer, presumably as an upgrade, and neither can get in the squad.
