Match Ratings Ratings vs Southampton

[whitesocks]

Lamela showed urgency 4/10 - motm.
Gazzaniga couldn't have done much about the goal.
Both Eriksen and ndombele could pass to players on our side. A rare talent.
'I was rude, but I was rude to an idiot.' That is pretty funny.

 

[THOWIG]

No movement, no pace, awful passing. Just dreadful all round.

I can’t see any changes from this coaching staff and it’s worrying me.

That was one of the worst performances I can remember.

Alli was unbelievably shit - his flicks were not coming off and constantly gave away possession.

Aurier is just not good enough defensively or offensively.

Eriksen was so wasteful with the ball but then so was every fucker on our team.

Moura has the ball connected to his foot with a 3 metre piece of string. His first touch is always awful resulting in possession turnover.

I like the formation but the midfield 3 were not able to execute as we still did not have a number 6 who can shield the back 4. Eriksen and N'Dombele should dominate but who was meant to be the anchor?

Sissoko did some more fucking pointing and some running but with a contribution of naff all. He has some serious evidence on Levy to keep playing every game. My view is that he is a squad player at best but his lack of composure in the middle is exposed consistently and he cannot manage a game from central midfield.

As a fan I ask for some accurate and forward passing coupled with effort to press the opponent and to make options for the player on the ball when we are in possession. We just look devoid of any ability on delivering against that and for me there are some serious areas for improvement that we need to use this transfer window to start addressing.

We know this is not on Mourinho but for me it is clear that the players have got stale and have all become too settled. A more competitive squad is required.

So disappointing.

 

[JackTheYid]

We're embarrassing at the minute. Zero passion, zero fight, zero ideas.

I can just about accept losing games but not in that manner. It's a disgrace.

Not one player can hold their head up there. Or Jose being an arrogant embarrassment on the sideline.

We MUST sign some players and very very soon in January. Levy needs to stop playing hardball, pay the cash and get the right quality players in.

lamela my MOTM

Blimey that was another poor performance to add to the growing list. Not seen us misplace so many passes for a long time

It’s funny as I see people saying “The coaching staff didn’t do anything” but I don’t know what else they could do. On here a lot of people always say the guy on the bench is the answer ”surely we need Dier, or Winks would be good etc”. However it has been proven that none of these players are actually very good or have suffered with too many injuries or are simply at the end of their careers.

Gazza 5 - doesn’t give our team any confidence and his kicking is terrible. Not good enough. Upgrade needed.
Aurier 4 - again a player who isn’t good enough. Upgrade needed.
Verts 3 - unfortunately way past his best. Upgrade needed.
Toby 4 - backs off constantly which allows the player to shoot, frustrating.
Sessegnon 3 - not a very good performance but he is a young kid learning.
Sissoko 3 - bang average. Upgrade needed.
Ndombele NA - quality player learning the game.
Lucas 1 - terrible performance from him. Upgrade needed.
Alli 1 - living off an old reputation and needs to step up or we get rid.
Eriksen 3 - the guy wants to leave so don’t play him.
Kane 3 - looked like getting an injury all game.

I voted for Dele can't believe the amount of stick he gets on this board from other posters.

Works really hard and scored more premiership goals at the age of 12 then Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets put together.

Also I don't think there is a player I would rather the last ball of the match to fall to then Serge Aurier. His consistent delivery is a ball boys dream.

I just hope young full backs watch him to realise what it takes to become a premiership footballer for a top six club......sod all talent!

You fucking mad bro.

Bet the happy clappers find excuses. ?

Excuse my ignorance but what is a Happy Clapper? Serious question

Excuse my ignorance but what is a Happy Clapper? Serious question

A happy clapper is someone that Is more likely to cheer the team than boo them. Stay away from them and look out for people who don't smile much. You will be safe around them.
A happy clapper might refrain from making nasty and cutting comments about the management and the players both on this forum and at the match. Idiots that they are!
A happy clapper may sometimes be guilty over being 'over optimistic' and has an expectation that things will work out for us. Simply naive eh?
A happy clapper might be constructively critical when the team has not played well. Sod the diplomacy, let em have both barrels.
A happy clapper has a tendency to be more patient with the team - the players and the management. Tut tut and shame on them.

Dog tits, all of them

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Everyone awful, just awful.

Somehow, as bad as the players were, the members of this fine site outdo them for shitness. Thread after thread after thread awash with rage and vitriol and ‘I told you so’ merchants putting the boot into whoever that poster’s scapegoat of choice is. I’m surprised we’ve not seen the evil chirpy thread bumped for someone to have a go at him.

Grow up the lot of you, it’s embarrassing, you’re (on the whole) adults with real life responsibilities. Say something is shit, suggest a way you’d like to see said shit thing change, move on. This is our lot right now, wetting yourself with antipathy isn’t going to improve anything. Support your team when it’s at its worst or you don’t deserve it at its best.

Excuse my ignorance but what is a Happy Clapper? Serious question

The term was used to describe religious people, especially born again Christians, it also means people that are easily pleased or naive, I first heard it back in the '60s.
A church full of happy clappers, meaning the congregation smiling and clapping along to the music and songs.

Thanks for the response and for enlightening me
