Still fuming. Usually after a rant and an hour or two I'm at peace after a loss.
Don’t be mate. We weren’t at the races and on paper I still think that Southampton have the best squad in the league.
I think Farke was wrong in retaining Cooper. He now has a choice; start Rodon and drop 1 of Cooper & Struijk. Which to me, would be massively unfair on Struijk.
Shackleton wasn’t great but would Ayling have faired any better? Probably not.

Aye Ayling would've been ripped numerous new arseholes.
I think it's just the manner of it. Thought the days of been blown away in half hour were over. Though I can't see it happening again any time soon. Farke will have gained a lot of knowledge from today moving forward.

Very very bad, if not unexpected, day at the office. Hopefully Farke has learned some lessons
because we do this every time against shit teams on poor runs. See if he gets it right v QPR.
And we're spared Cooper being dog shit again
Rodon in. Cooper out imo. Pushing Struijk to RCB asks too many question imo with a MF at RB and RB at LB
Nail on the head Struijk has been OK at LCB Cooper changes every thing for the worst. Not the first time the back line has be fucked up by accommodating Cooper.
Kamara at the moment looks out of his depth.
This isn't Scotland!!
