Hodgson doesn't have a clue. Looks over to Ray for instruction all the time.

We're under pressure here again, I know what'll work: Schlupp. The inner workings of Hodgson's mind. *Johan Cruyff rolls in his grave. Edited by Midlands Eagle (02 Feb 2019 9.00am)

We were playing well, and then there came a point in the game when the ball was more lumped up towards Ayew rather than played up and through. All we did was hand possession back to S'Hampton what with him not being a tall chap etc. That was point I thought Roy should bring on Benteke.
When the time comes, I want die just like my Dad - at peace and asleep. |

We played really well for the first hour, which was down to Roy and his tactics and team selection. You can't just ignore that. However, I agree that he just doesn't seem to know how to effectively use his bench. Maybe Ayew didn't look so knackered from pitch side? Schlupp had an impact at Spurs, so I suppose that's why Roy picked him again. Lewington is a fan too, according to the commentator last night. Me, I just don't get it.

We can't start Ayew against Fulham, he may have worked hard last night but he was so wasteful in possession twice he lead a breakaway but couldn't find at team mate when he had 2 or 3 up with him in support. Benteke or Wickham to start against Fulham at least they will offer some attempts at goal.

Do people think Hodgson will play a front three of Schlupp, Ayew and Townsend against Fulham?

One more point |

What I don't get is why Roy hates making subs so much, why he didn't bring Meyer, Benteke or Wickham on last night is a mystery

Just go to Saints forum and read what they thought... every other post there's someone saying that Roy masterminded their manager, nullifying them and deserving to win...

I agree and the Southampton manager's comments about us not playing football was odd, but I also agree about the subs - Benteke or Connor to hold up play later in the game would have given us an option we did not have.

Ayew should have been off with 30 mins to go as it was clear the game was turning - I was yelling at my PC to get him off and Wickham on.
