Ampadu and Egan apologies for challenges on the goal, where is the midfield? Ampadu and Fleck anonymous only Berge has touched the ball. Fucking rubbish.

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Really? Watch it back. He’s come off his line and the ball is his if he wants it. All he has to do is open his mouth. Then he gets beat by a poor effort inside his near post.

“Lol.”

I agree with not commanding his box but Ampadu was half hearted in his challenge and Egan is in his way if owt. I feel like gauging my eyes out with a rusty spoon watching this

 

[HeySethUTB]

Sit back, to try and counter with no pace to actually counter. It’s like watching England vs Macedonia every week. Gues which one we are

 

[Rochdaleblade]

If McBurnie and Sherp is the partnership at the start of the second half I think I may switch off. Far too easy for them to push up when we have the ball. I don't think these two have ever workedm as a partnership.

 

[Houston_Blade]

We may as well play a 3-7 formation because we are wasting our time just banging it long every time.

Macedonia U10s?

 

[essyoueffsee]

Wilder refusing to change the shape is getting embarrassing now.

I'd you can't muster a shot on goal why not gamble and try something different,bits almost like he's too stubborn to be proved wrong about his precious "system"

 

[haich1889]

Up until the goal I dont think we've been that bad so far, but that defending by Egan was utter trash.

You must have Smarties for eyes

 

[Lawrence]

We have no runners from midfield except for Burge, who is having to do more defending than attacking? Ampadu is a wast of space.

 

[blademark]

I've watched some shit in my time, and I'm ever the optimist, but I can't remember a worse 45 minutes than that. It's like our players have been hypnotised to be sleepy.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

How do you know he didn't? How do know he didnt tell Jags to head it clear ?The half hearted challenges from Ampadu and Egan were more culpable

Have you listened to Redknapp at HT? Suggest you do. Masterclass in punditry there, he's summed our season up. He was very critical of the GK too.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I must say Southampton look really tidy and the way they play is really slick, aspirational!

Our style of play needs to change!

They also press like we used to and give you no respect or time on the ball. They’re a good team to watch.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

To put 20% possession into context

we are giving Southampton 72 minutes to score and allowing ourselves 18 minutes to do the same.

Fucking atrocious in every conceivable way. No one can tell me the right team has been picked today irregardless of the second half.

this is as bad as it’s been

 

[HeySethUTB]

Macedonia U10s?

Yeah because like us they’re non existent.

 

[Suomi_Blade]

I want what you’re on

Trying to be a little positive, lots of negative nonsense in the world plus its dull and cold... need some kind of positivity from somewhere

 

[HeySethUTB]

FFS Even opta are mocking us, we are breaking all the wrong records this season. Come on blades!!!! Your killing us.

 

[SUFCinks]

Your positivity is admirable mate, wish i could have the same outlook.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

How’s he not made any subs!! Just f*ck off Wilder, thanks for the memories

 

[Suomi_Blade]

You must have Smarties for eyes

Skittles actually

 

[BangorBlade]

Wtf no changes

 

[metalblade]

Egan, Amadu and Ramsdale all poor on the goal which was believe it or not was Soton's only chance, all they have done is try to hit long balls over our defence. McB injured has to come off, Ampadu and Fleck need a kick up the arse. A really poor 1st half.

 

[RecordBreakers]

Get that streak off piss berger off

 

[Lawrence]

Sky sports say you have 3 choices, you can chose crowd noise, normal sound or you could just turn off!

 

[YES Blade]

How much have we spent on strikers and we’re back to Sharp and McGoldrick.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

CROSS THE FUCKING BALL STOP FUCKING ABOUT WITH IT!!!!

 

[essexblade73]

Get that streak off piss berger off

Id rather fleck went off, like having a dead body in midfield

 

[shrubbery]

That corner was one of the most shocking pieces of football that I've seen in a while. What the fuck was Fleck thinking?

 

[Blackestnite]

FFS that corner

 

[SUFCinks]

what the fuck are those corners about!
