Fred has played in most if not all those games, how can he have no redeeming qualities then?

Ole trusts him it seems.

Whos talking about the away run, completely irrelevant. You dont get trophies for away runs.

Sancho for Martial I hope

early sub. crikey.

Martial has zero confidence

Martial most of the time is a complete waste of space

Gets the ball robbed off him so easily
No heart

He is absolute garbage.

Thank £#%&! for that.

Two amazing balls from Fred and Shaw and completely killed by Martial.

This is better.

Come on…

Their keeper is poor, we’ve got to put him under pressure

Can’t justify that from Ole. Just plain bad management. Martial has come back from a really hard period in his life and you can see that in his demeanour. To sub him off when he needed a bit of faith shown in him? Bang out of order. I’m still behind Ole but this is a dark day for him indeed.

Oh, should score.

how does shaw not have a couple of assists today?

That last pass was outrageous.

Southampn are getting so lucky with these little bobbles and deflection

We know Fred is shit, so I really don’t see the gamble in playing him there. Fred’s passing kills us. Absolutely kills us.

It's time for, Ole too get brave & just have 1 defensive midfieler & then he could start, Van Der Beek & give the team a bit more creativity & if he was too drop , Lindeloff, then he would surely find the confidence too be a lot more adventurous in-terms of his team's attacking ambitions!

dirty southampton deserve nothing from this. I wish we had a centre forward.

so much time and space and we keep giving it to wan-b.

Eased off in the last five minutes and Southampton coming again now
