The team for our next game will be interesting to see.
The manager is far too experienced to react publicly to a performance like that but he will have been furious with the lack of effort from some of those players.
How many times has he played a whole match, any match, or even started in one here?One minor upside is that Kean doesn't look goosed after 90 seconds.
Maybe he understand that players who know they have no future at the club are not trying as hard as we would like.Furious at the effort or baffled that professional players can turn out a performance like that
Southampton should be something like:
PickfordGive DCL a rest, he was chugging last night
Coleman Mina/Holgate Keane Digne
Beni
Gomes Davies
Gordon Bernard
Richie Kean
Maybe playing without a crowd is helpful to players who either do not care or have no bottle or both. Just go through the motions and collect your paycheque. There is no one there to let them know how bad they are.
They certainly couldn’t do any worse than Gomes and Sigurdson, at the very least they’d be trying their best to get stuck in, instead of dodging the ball and opposition players.What do you think happened in the dressing room after the game?
Also do you think if we played 2 of our best midfield tacklers from the 23s and told them to win the ball and play it simple we would have a different result?
