Popular Post Nod.E Posted 13 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 13 May 2023 The fact that Southampton, relegated with two games still to play, did the double over us this season, sums our season up quite nicely. 20 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hejammy Posted 13 May 2023 Share Posted 13 May 2023 What's more of a gut than anything else is the fight that Forest, Leeds and Everton are showing. Working their arses off to get that point, it's something we just don't seem to do. We show no fight. Even when we are losing there's no sense of urgency all season. When it's our corner when was the last time Maddison ran over to the corner to take it? Or any player for that matter. We have no desire to win. It's all been too passive all season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not disagreeing with your initial point. The issue is, we haven’t even been asset stripped yet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bound to bite them back at some point. Who'd they sell last season? Can't remember many players being sold at Southampton recently to so called bigger clubs? It's been years since they've had players of the calibre of Mane, Alderweireld and Lovren. Edited 13 May 2023 by Tuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo Posted 13 May 2023 Share Posted 13 May 2023 Not great results for us today but could have been worse. Doesn’t really alter the fact that we have to beat Liverpool on Monday. Win that - unlikely but not impossible with some proper fight, hunger and aggression (remember last season) - and everything changes, especially if Man City, as expected, deny Everton victory tomorrow. Given the way our rivals have suddenly been jolted into life, I see it as our last roll of the dice. If we don’t win, we are as good as down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 13 May 2023 Share Posted 13 May 2023 Getting rid of Puel didn't help. He reached a cup final and they still had an ok squad. He left, they appointed some nonentity and ended up with Mark Hughes. Puel could've kept them safe for a bit longer and helped put a decent squad together.

No one worthy of note last summer, as far as I remember, but I might be wrong. They also stuck too long with Hasenhüttl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudger63 Posted 13 May 2023 Share Posted 13 May 2023 So the task ahead is simple. Blow Liverpools Champions league hopes out of the water on Monday, piss on Newcatles last home game parade, and beat a most likely buoyant West Ham, while they await their Europeon Final. No Sweat! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was something off in the performance of Newcastle and Chelsea and you could figure it from the first minute. Call me a conspiracy theorist or whatever. This is a disgrace and our board is there liable for letting this happen just to be happy to take the TV money. Watching Leicester for so long has made you think other teams fighting for points is "off" 🤣🤣🤣🤣. The state of this club. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 13 May 2023 Share Posted 13 May 2023 I think we all know what’s coming. We need some kind of miracle. We’ve had a few. Maybe we’ve used them all up with the league and FA Cup. Looks like other teams want it far more. That means one thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking forward to it, imagining a lively port city. I've spent time in uglier cities (Stoke, Cov, most of Plymouth), but have rarely spent time anywhere so deadly dull - only Reading comes to mind. "MK by the sea" is spot on. Good riddance to bad rubbish! Shame we look likely to see them again next season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
