Ole needs to get into a leadership training course

People often talk about AWB not being good enough in attack, and I maintain that’s not the primary issue with him. It’s his work between the boxes: his passing is very poor.

The ball was breaking down with too many players today: AWB, Matic, Fred, Shaw, Maguire. Very hard to get your attacking players into the game when the build up play only lasts for 3 or 4 passes.

What the hell was that in the last 20?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Utter crap is what it was. Most of our players were below par today. Only DDG and Greenwood played well.

Sancho came on 2 games in a row with us completely on top and messed up every attack after he came on. I watched him at Dortmund a few times and he consistently was near the worst player when I watched him. Basically a poor mans Depay and he was bad when he was at Man Utd.

Expected goals probably 1.00 vs 3.60.

I almost miss the days under lvg when we could actually keep possession. That ability to keep the ball with these attacking players and we’d be running riot every week

Arab, yeah we still could have won the game. But the performance was very flat.

It was actually what I was expecting against Leeds due to the lack of preseason, but we looked much sharper that game. Possibly due to the occasion with the home fans.

Will be interesting to see if we have a few more games like this before we get sharper and start playing better.

Though much of the issues in our performance today are due to the coaching and personnel.

Tbh, Structure and workrate from the opposing team is our kryptonite. Southampton had strikers tracking back like full backs.

If we could mix LVGs possession with Oles (sometimes) goal laden games and Jose’s trophy winning nous we’d be quite good

And another 150mill pounds worth of players to sit on the bench

Think the team was simply expecting a straightforward win today. Even when we levelled. Just not put enough effort in. But having unreliable players like Fred, doesn't help the cause.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agree, it looked like an attitude problem today.

Shaw and Maguire looked way off fitness, the only players who I thought did well were Pogba and greenwood, and Pogba I say with a pinch of salt because he should really have scored.

VAR cost us so many wins in last 2 seasons and already started again this season. It seems to disallow goals for us for nothing and allow goals against us that are clear fouls. Southampton were shocking, even when they were on top in lat 20 minutes they barely had a shot in that period.

Yep this is why Trippier makes sense as a signing. His ability to build up play is pretty good, even if he’s not got the pace to go box to box all game like other full backs.

The best I can say is, at least we didn't lose. Hardly anyone had a good game

Apart from having the best chance of the game

1 point from 9 in our first 3 last season. Got to win at Wolves now to make it a decent start.

Point not what we wanted but it's all we deserved

Bruno is such a strange player. When he’s on song he’s amazing but when he’s not he’s just a moaning, diving waster.

Doesn’t help when you match an Arsenal invisible team record in their kit playing like the present Lego pep one

The clownbase will blame Martial as they blamed Lukaku before for not scoring. They never ask themselves whether our strikers miss chances or never get them.
