I like this trophy but going out wasn't the problem. If we won it , we would be trophy padding anyway. But that Performance, geez, so many things to worry about:
1) Kalvin Phillips, for a 42 million doesnt look decent at all.
2) Goalkeeper doesnt give me confidence. He takes some weird positions on the pitch and if the goal keeper coach doesnt sort it out then its all smelly.
3) Alvarez was poor today, cant trap a ball, cant pass, runs nowhere.
4) Foden is just all over the place. Awful
5) Cancelo is a waste of space. Get rid
6) Gomez has a long way to go. Was the worst player in that half. Now we know why Ake is first choice left back.
7) Cole Palmer was so poor aswell.
I actually thought Jack had a decent game strangely enough. A number of the players have come in horrible shape after the world cup so I have sympathy for Pep but he needs to settle on one team and run with it. I have no problem with the fullbacks coming in as it makes us more solid defensively but we need width and that must be sorted out ASAP.
If for any reason Rodri, Haaland and KDB were to miss games for a sustained period, we are in a Top 4 race. Forget about the league.
No Rodri, No Team

The first 45 minutes were as bad as a performance as I can remember and Southampton deserved to win.
Phillips was bought as a back up to Rodri but he has a long way to go to reach the standard needed. It is a big step up from Leeds but he isn't convincing me at the moment,
Foden and KDB are very out of touch but leaving Cancelo on when he couldn't even take a throw in properly was bewildering. He is so out of form he looks like a Sunday League player.
Pep needs a better plan than using Walker at CB to give Cancelo more game time if we are to deal with United at the weekend. Nobody played well but Cancelo was shockingly bad.

Foden was the best player on the pitch, which game was the OP watching?

You need to invest some of your huge operating profits in the first team. It's been neglected for 18 months now.

Credit to Southampton, they played well and that 2nd goal was mint. Wasnt helped by Cancelo. As for Foden, just out of form for me. Even Bernardo hasnt been great.
KDB should consider himself lucky to be playing first team football but We have to ride out this period.

Really disappointed in the lack of effort
Don’t think they’ve any idea of the sacrifices made to support the side

In both the Chelsea prem game, and the Southampton game Pep has tinkered with the defensive line. In both games he’s had to change formations mid way through. Unfortunately too late at Southampton. What is he worried about? Over reliance on Rodri? Getting Phillips going? I think it may date back to the mugging we got off Brentford.
