I genuinely don't see anything wrong with the line up other than James not being at RB and KK shouldn't be playing.

Agreed - but they seem woefully un-motivated and un-prepared wouldn't you say ?

So Fofana our instead of madueke/ mount or Felix

Nah, some fans want us to ignore those little stats. f**k that, they can bury their heads in the sand all they like, I won't. 

after this, only the craziest will be supporting Potter.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if the Soton fans started singing..."we want you to stay we want you to stay Graham Potter we want you to stay!"...😅

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are we only allowed to use one Fofana at a time?

He's taken our first half best player off ??

Holy Mother of God LOL

We all can all call for his head as long as we like, he's not going anywhere, there's a much bigger problem at the club - the new owners

We don't really have a clue what the new owners will do. Of course they are going to say they are backing their guy long term but I suspect that will be put to the test very quickly the way things are going.

Potter has 45 minutes to salvage his Chelsea career, or sh*t's going to hit the fan real fast.

WHY DOES HE TAKE DD FOFANA OFF? WTF??

What a joke, Fofana with Chilwell were the only tiny bright moments of that half.

Well that was... not good.

You could vaguely see what the idea was (put the ball in front of the forward players and let them run at Southampton's defence) and the team selection reflected that. That said, there was no plan or pattern in the build-up, inconsistent pressing, and from what I could tell, no instruction for the players once they got into the final third. Directness is fine (particularly given the enormous volume of complaints about sideways passing on here under Tuchel), but it is a huge risk to sacrifice control when you have no consistent idea of how you're going to actually use the space this then creates for you. Plus, I understand that injuries are a mitigating factor, but is Fernández and Kovačić  really the midfield for this particular strategy? You have to have a ball winner in there surely? Or at least start with a back three?

Another problem - now they're ahead they will have to less incentive to progress up the pitch or commit any players forward. Our gameplan (such as it is) will need a tweak.

Has anyone checked on @Munkworth?

I thought D.Fofana was our best player. Shame for him. He actually tried.

Fofana off and Mount still on. 
 

Tragic. Truly. 

Agreed. Ridiculous. One of the only bright sparks in the first half

Almost fell out of my seat when I saw that. DD Fofana was one of the better performers in the first half. I am speechless.

Why is Mason Mount still on the pitch?

Agreed. Mount was dreadful, he never contributed a single bit of positive play in that half. He was too busy fouling players.

I don't understand Fofana's substitution.

Strange to single Mount out when Felix has been worse.

Can hear the Fans chanting you don’t know what you’re doing, and right after he takes off the striker who’s actually looked good for Sterling 😂

I haven't got a stream working unfortunately but has he been or is it "new toy syndrome"?

I ask because so many times we've been poor I've heard how a new player or youth player has been the "shining light" when I thought they were as bad as the rest.

Potter your f*cking clueless mate. Taking off Fofana???

D Fofana off and putting Mount up top?! This guy is f**king clueless he has to be TRYING to get sacked at this point

I think the best plan for Saints would be to keep going for a second. They haven't got much to worry about in defense anyway.

Plaudits to the bloke I could hear chanting "you don't know what you're doing" at Potter as he came back to the dugout

Can our defence not organise themselves just one game without Silva?
