that illustrates how our wingers don’t get behind defences so our attackers can run onto the ball and attack it. Force the defenders into a position where they are facing their own goal.

Saka and EMC cut inside to much. Don’t get a cross in. Don’t get a shot away. Dasilva despite his high positions rarely puts crosses in. Even if our wingers do put crosses in they are often delayed and the best angle missed.

At least Esse took risks in and around the box and tried to force issues.

That illustrates you’re talking bollocks about them not playing a low block is what it illustrates.

Watching these games over the last couple of nights highlights that;
We are too soft.
We lack desire.
Our energy levels in relation to the above are below that of other sides.

We may have better natural footballers in some areas of the pitch than other sides, but to coin a bit of an old footballing phrase,
Other teams seem to just "want it" more than we seem to.
BUT we were doing just that at the start of the season, so what's happened to change it????

2026 can get in the fucking bin if West Brom finally start being hard to beat before playing us.

Ha.

The BBC Sports app went nuts tonight

View attachment 49123

3-1 at 90 + 8 mins. Even though Southampton scored in the 82nd and 86th min and then 96th min.😂

The app also said that both the Tottenham and Man Utd games had +24 minutes of extra time!

A dramatic return of Fergie time

I really want to enjoy and embrace Fester’s relegation battle and then I realised that we need them to spawn points off Middlesbrough, Ipswich, Hull and Millwall in their run in

WHY are we actually not allowed anything nice
I suppose it all boils down to whether they get a new manager and he can turn things round for them

Totally different game..they didnt stick 11 behind the ball.

Also just gos to show..if we got 1 we would have got plenty.
We wore them out?

All their smugness at us dropping to 2nd has been wiped off after that 🤣 3-1 up with 8 minutes left 🤣🤣

Couldn’t write it!
Some lovely details on the Sky highlights:

Lesta player shushing the home fans after the first goal

Half hearted chants of 'Come on Lesta' seconds before the first Saints goal

A solitary pathetic scream from the crowd as Begovic sets up the 2nd

The reaction of the Leicester fans behind the goal each time they concede is a highlight.
They were already booing at 3-3
