Have to sort out our defence at crosses Full backs standing off and not picking up the targets in the box. So many free headers, lucky not to have conceded.

[Far Cough UKunt]

When's the ref going to start booking some of those Southampton players?

[Alfs]

God, that was boring.

[El Scorchio]

And why the fuck did we sell Downes?

 

For fuck's sake stop moaning you fucking miserable, negative cսnt.

If it's getting you down go and watch Gavin and Stacey on the iPlayer.

Personally I’d rather be forced to watch 24 hours non stop of Moyes’ greatest moments clockwork orange style than that fucking load of old shit. Or this- which is frankly an awful display. 

[zico]

Agree with Mad Dog. Take off Rodriguez because he offers nothing at either end. Summerville on Kudus to number ten.

[onsideman]

Our players look like complete strangers

Wtf do they do all week?

[Keep dreaming]

Awful, awful and awful.
Defence, midfield, forward.

Doesn't look like a team whatsoever

[nychammer]

breaking news:  we just had a shot on target!

[claret on my shirt]

Getting bossed by southampton, shocking. 

[Keep dreaming]

I can't believe that we are forced to play Rodriguez AND Soucek in midfield.
It's torture 

[goose]

Being kept in the game against the shittest team in the league by our 40 year old keeper who’s now fucked.

lolz

[Keep dreaming]

And why the fuck did we sell Downes?

[ironsofcanada]

Was he "fencing" like you see so often in the NFL?

Worrying for sure.

[Keep dreaming]

Our biggest flaw so far is the midfielders being out of position far to many times, and that Kudus and Bowen runs with the ball for to long.
We are not playing as a team, and not once have we played through their lines.

[El Scorchio]

What on earth is the injury? They aren’t even showing it! Has he had his face caved in or something? 

 

[Nutsin]

Looks like our best player, Fabianski is about to go off. 

dear oh dear, what has happened to our club.


 

[nychammer]

Kilman off injured
Fabianski possibly off injured (and he's kept us in this)
Being comprehensively outplayed

Not looking too great, but we dont often do Boxing Day away to well.

[onsideman]

Mavropanos

[Any Old Iron]

We’re being outplayed by fucking Southampton!! Lopetegui is taking us in only one direction and it’s not a good one. 

[zico]

They could have had four. Extremely poor at the back. Fabianski man of match so far.

[Mad Dog]

Take off Rodriguez, put on summerville,  move kudus to 10.

It's not that fucking difficult

We should he about 3 down here to southampton and their 5 points or whatever they have

[stubbo-admin]

I didn’t think Fulkreg was ok out of possession, thought he was slow and lumbering when closing those passing lanes. Maybe it’s fitness but it was like night n day when Bowen did the same job out of possession.. 

I’m genuinely hoping he’s the answer to our number 9 problem tho so let’s hope that starts today as he’s fitness levels get higher 

 

 

I get that, but the Hammer Analytics guys had a conversation with some of the players at the back for Brighton, and they specifically highlighted he'd been difficult to follow their usual patterns against. Apparently all changed on 20 mins when the Brighton manager tweaked things and JLo didn't react to it.  But they highlighted Fullkrug had been good against them out of possession.

[Keep dreaming]

Fucking hell we are so shit.

Get that braut off together with the potato salad.

Add Summerville, who is a natural winger, and put Kudus up front

[Chip Shop Charlie]

Liverpool are going to slaughter us if we play like this at the back.
Totally unmarked.
