My heart sank when I saw the team sheet yesterday, I’m not gonna lie. But he played pretty well, I thought. Could we see him and Doucoure in the middle? No need to play Schlupp out of position there.

No. It was one game amongst many poor performances. We also got lucky with one of his misplaced passes yet again that could of resorted in a goal.

To be fair, yes he hasn't been great, but he was very good yesterday. Schlupp still isn't a midfielder although was OK in the first half, Hughes was a much better upgrade in the second and surely has to start alongside Dacoure! 3 points Is all that matters at the end of the day.

He did well especially in the first half however he tired and I think that is the reason Soton won the second half. Luka doesn't have the legs for a 90 min performance.
One more point |

He did have this strange habit of passing to a team mate yesterday, but we won’t get carried away, saints were awful first half yesterday and he had a lot of time and space

He was Excellent yesterday and i would like him to start next week with Doucoure in place of Schlupp, as many have mentioned Schlupp is a good impact player

Have our standards slipped to the extent that one reasonable performance from Luka can be acclaimed as a second coming?

I hope not. May have been good for us a couple of seasons back, but not these days. Too many errors in his play. Hughes is a better option.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

In answer to the OP's question: NO, despite Luka's decent performance yesterday.

Thanks for starting this thread, Aray. I do think more balance is needed in the discussion of Luka. I made a particular point of watching him closely yesterday. We were good in the first half and Luka played his full part in a good team effort. No team was going to play as badly in the second half as Southampton played in the first. They had been given a bollocking and also made a substitution. We were on the back foot and struggled to get a foothold. Luka was as much a part of that as others were. For periods we were overwhelmed in midfield and Luka was clearly tiring. I have seen the substitutions criticised but they all bolstered a midfield that clearly needed it. I don’t think ‘the old Luka’ is back but I do think it’s right to praise him when he does well. Overall yesterday he had a good game in my view. Edited by dg1937 (30 Oct 2022 10.31am)

Luka did ok yesterday and surpassed my admittedly low expectations. But he is only a stop gap solution when we are short on numbers. I really don't see yesterday's game as any more than that.
