Yep, Ultimately the buck stops at the manager but the odds are stacked against the bloke at the min.

Moyes clearly doesn’t rate him.
I’d have him in ahead of Masuaku at LB even though he’s not a LB. By far away a better player than Masuaku.
He’s only just back from injury.

Salisu bossed us last time we played them. We need Antonio to at least give him some more to think about.

Vlasic our best attacking midfielder so far. Benrahma is working hard I think but it's just not happening for him. Our defence is looking weak... as you'd expect with our 3rd and 4th choice defenders playing. Both are guilt of wasteful numerous long balls forward. Soucek is a weak link with regards to our passing game. He's looking so tired at the moment and has for a while.

Aside from the conceded goal we haven't played too badly, just getting outmuscled in midfield and lacking the usual energy and guile. Not sure what people are digging out Coufal for, at least he shows for everything and keeps making the runs and crosses, not his fault we don't have someone like Antonio in there to aim for.

Iron Mike needs to be on for the second half, 100%

We finished 6th and we should have moved on in the summer transfer window a lot better instead of a goalie who doesn't play..a 30 million clone of Fornals and a defensive midfielder who doesn't get a game...Zuma bring the exception what a waste of a window.This is the reason why Dec wouldn't and will not sign a new contract and will be gone in the summer.This first half was putrid and to see Fornals trying to run down this left wing is comical.Worst half of football for quite a while but we are only one down so if Moysie can sort it out who knows.Talking of Moysie how about letting the supporters know what is happening with Cresswell instead of bulls...t

Ironically, despite our defensive injuries, our defence isn't the problem.
Our forward players are desperately out of form.
Benrahma and Fornals have been awful, and playing Bowen as a striker is just not his natural game.
We need to bring on Antonio for Benrahma at half time, let Bowen play his natural position and play Vlasic as a number 10.
I don't think this Southampton team have a clean sheet in them. We can still win this if we get a goal before the 60 min mark.

Perhaps a tad harsh on Coufal but otherwise the situation in a nutshell there

bubbles1966 wrote: Sun Dec 26, 2021 3:54 pm The positive is the way Vlasic is playing and it's also fairly reasonable to expect the opposition press to fade over time. It's not the first time we've started slowly though.

Moyes needs to go bold though with his subs.

Coufal is doing an Ilunga/Schemmel.

Simple changes needed... Antonio for our weakest attacking midfielder and Bowen back out to his usual position.

Hope it’s Benny and not Vlasic!

Vlasic the best of the three at the moment and is equally comfortable playing anywhere in that front line. Would be a weird substitution if he comes off first
