Log off and come back tomorrow. Of course there’s so much corruption towards giants of the game Southampton

Gross had a good game tonight imo. Lots of players I’d single out for criticism before him on that absolute meek and shite second half performance and Potter carries the can for not motivating them at the break.

This squad is not good enough for this level, going to be a long hard season

Poor poor 2nd half, our home form a complete embarrassment

Connolly needs to go out on loan but after being a regular in a PL squad he can't go to the Championship. The Bundesliga maybe, Brexit permitting?
See I don’t believe that at all.
You couldn’t be more wrong factually. How have we survived into our fourth season if we don’t belong here?

And I don't need to watch the Potter interview after as I already know his dour demeanour, tone and what he will say.

If i had something else to fill the time I'd give it up tomorrow. TBH I wanted to when we went up, but got hooked back in. Thing is, everything I feared back then has become a reality PLUS VAR.
Football is in danger of becoming a totally different 'sport'. And it won't suffer from it, it's an international phenomenon. But it will lose older supporters.
I think, according to a mate, it's because he's bang average.
We do better with cheap players. I don't recall an expensive one who's delivered.

The none penalty masked the performance
There is absolutely no reason why we need to play White in CM, the pairing of Biss and Alzate worked.
I’m starting to wonder whether he sees White as someone who can’t be dropped. If Webster, Dunk, White and Veltman were (and that’s a big if) all playing well he needs to make a decision and put one of them on the bench.
We are lacking significant creatively in the middle with White playing there. Maybe there’s a case against Liverpool / City etc but we haven’t won at home since Arsenal. It frustrates me that Potter clearly cannot this as an issue.
We won’t learn anything new from tonight.

I’m sure Bayern Munich are licking their lips.
Footballing-wise, Connolly is strong in every department, except the ones that matter.
He’s an average championship player at best.

Sometimes in the Premier League you will get beaten by a team who plays better than you on account of the quality of teams in the Premier League. When you struggle to find an Albion player who had a good game, that's a bit of a sign that you were outplayed. As long as it doesn't happen regularly.
Frustrating when you know we are capable of far better but a simple fact of life. I'll have a nightcap and find something to lick and then get off to my nice dry bed

Will it actually, though?
I do know what you mean, and I really feel the same - I'm totally sick of VAR ruining nearly every game (although we deserved to lose tonight anyway), I'm bored of all the theatrics from so many players which is forever increasing as they realise VAR gives bloody anything these days, yet here I am still, discussing the game... I've got a wife and young child too so not like I've got nothing else going on... Arghhh...

We are a soft team. We sold / loaned out many of our experienced players and we have a knack of conceding almost every time we face a shot on target. Pretty football is one thing, but GP keeps on about LEARNING.....
Well I’d very much like to see what he has learned from making us a mirror image of Swansea’s shocking defending at set pieces when he was in charge..
Simply not good enough and unless things change both ends of the pitch we are in for a long winter

Been saying this for a year. We can't just experiment with him like this. He is so inconsistent. How is going to improve? Has he improved?
He needs to be playing regularly at a level he can excel at, but now he has a new house and new expectations. I'd say a second tier European league would be ideal.
(TBH, same for Molumby and, shockingly, Alzate- these guys need to play)

And you didn't notice that 5+4+0 doesn't make 10.

Saints tactically astute. Negated strengths and exploited weaknesses. On Webster, ganged up and pressed him on to his weaker left side and would have done that to any of our right footed defenders in that position.
