So much over-reaction on this site. Today we fell short in only two areas: scoring goals and preventing goals. Edited by CT Charlie (12 May 2021 3.44am)

You do realise, we are above Southampton, who were in the top 4 before Xmas, but self imploded. Without Ings they are very ordinary. Edited by Painter (11 May 2021 10.42pm) You have to look at the manner we lost pal. Thats the part we can control. We cant decide who other teams are going to field and use that as a survival strategy

We lost that game because we were bullied in midfield. We needed a hard man in there to compete. The ref let them away with it and gave them license to get stuck in. Ward-Prowse is a niggly little sh*t who kicks and pushes and winds players up. He gets away with it because the big boys in the team protect him when players react like Kouyate did. He needed put in his place first 5 minutes. Failing that I think Kouyate should have flattened him in the last five minutes. It would have been worth a red card. So Clinton knows Roy is leaving and we’re bringing in kids. I guess that means Frankie boy is the next manager. Ward-Prouse is 3 times the player of Jairo. Losing James McCarthur this season was a major blow for us.

I thought we were okay in parts last night. We looked okay going forward but we are so shaky defensively. The back 4 were so narrow at times especially on Joel’s side. Blaming Wardy is a bit ridiculous tho he did stop it being 4. We were probably aware that he would be done for pace but we could deal with crosses due to our height in the middle.

I have long held the view that Ward might actually be a useful central defender in lower divisions.

Southampton were more aggressive and seemed more desperate for a win. How Ward-Prowse didn't get booked is beyond me as he kicked Zaha early doors and then made the mistake of doing the same to Kouyate - and then pi$$ed his pants when Cheikh reacted. The game means nothing and yet he still acted like a little pr!ck. Ayew and Wilf offered little defensive support and so our defence looked exposed and they could have scored more. Having said that, going forward we looked ok and could also easily have had one or two more on another day. When Luka stepped up to take the penalty he looked like he was ill and I knew he'd miss. By the time Bats and Mateta came on the players were flagging and we looked disjointed. I'm not really going to look too much into the this defeat any more than I would if we'd won. I'm glad Roy has decided to take the shackles off, even if we do end up losing all of our final games, but clearly his tactics are down to the fact this games now mean very little. Also, I actually thought the players looked enthused for most of the game even if it wasn't the best performance.

Clearly not a skill they teach in Dutch football. We’ve no replacement for Jimmy Mac unfortunately but we need to find one for next season.
