Southampton 2-2 Leeds Match Thread - EXCLUSIVE PITCHSIDE FOOTAGE

[Byebyegeegee]

I said before the game started that correct substitutions at the correct time would the key to this game and to be fair Hassenhutl got it right and Marsch got it very wrong. Harrison was out on his feet 15 minutes before he was taken off and kept losing Walker-Peters continually. I thought we were the better team for 60 minutes but, unfortunately, just totally lost our way for the last 30 minutes of the game.

Whilst a draw away from home is not a bad result, under the circumstances it feels like a bad result.

Early days but Kristensen defensively doesn't look good, very weak for the second Southampton goal.

Looks like he could become a cult hero but appearances have proved very deceptive at the moment. Not a patch on Ayling in any facet at the moment.

Radz and Orta need to get off there arse and stop monitoring all these attacking players and be on the phone tonight offering money for someone.

No more that'll do attitude because it wont.

Time to make a serious effort signing players we require over the next two weeks or so, none of this p*ssing in the wind stuff.

I can't cope with another season of watching Dan James playing up top & a stand-in LB getting skinned down the left.

Ridiculous action, it didn't work did it?

I don't understand that - how can players focus on the game when they have to read a note. Just yell the tactics from the sideline. Not like the tactics were a secret as he openly gestured 4-2-2-2 with his fingers later

Ayling was no defensive master either tbf

But Kristensen is definitely really struggling.

Agreed

Ideally this week.

We should have been far more positive rather than reactive.

It's pure cheapness imo.

They are desperate not to have to spend anymore than we have brought in.

[1964white]

Feels like a loss to me. One point when we couid and should have had three

Should have been joint-top of the table on six points this evening with scum on no points.

I actually thought Strujik had a decent game today. But, yes, we do need a proper left back in the squad. Even of its just a youngster as back up to Fripo.

On paper I'd say we're fine without another striker. But Bamford and Gelhardt's injury record say we absolutely do.

Scum losing 3-0,

At least we are not in Manure's boots

[WhiteRose]

Ha ha 4 now, could be worse, could be man united fans, imagine if they went down!

Shame we didn’t put a nail in Southampton’s season today but last season we looked appalling down there so progress even though it’s very frustrating

Ward-Peters ran rings round Pascal

We need a LB & a No.9

Is it only the fans who can see what is required?

Someone send a note to the board

Yeah, nothing changed a good performance undermined because we still haven't recruited a striker and LB.

Is any fooker listening in that boardroom?

They're trying to do it on the cheap AGAIN. Where has the TV money gone?

[andrewjohnsmith]

Marsch at press conference:

Gelhardt? Cooper?
Joffy dead leg. Did not want to push him. Training this week, Patrick too. Liam we decided picked up something yesterday. Hopeful back soon.

Striker issue?
Bamford is not bad. Felt tightness in adductor. Challenged him to be honest with us and he felt not 100 per cent, so he did not want to stress it. Joffy injured this week and wanted to manage him with more games to come. Rodri playing so well as nine, 10 or 9.5.

Wages . . . .

We also owed about £100m due within 12 months on last accounts.

We also have 2 owners at an impasse with neither likely wanting to commit funding.

They learned nothing from last season.

Nothing has changed.

Ayling's defending wasn't great - better than RK though. I felt a lot of times Ayling's defending got slammed unfairly but it is far easier to be a good defensive right back if you are able to be in position early rather than trying to get back in position having bombed forward at every opportunity.

Surely we can't be spending £170m odd on wages of players who finished 17th?!

It's actually good news that Paddy got injured and Gelhardt was unavailable as you can see the plan is to limp along like we did last season
