Well in wee man, another tireless performance

"Adam Armstong, lovely drop of the shoulder" he's got no shoulders mate

Murphy again wasting an opportunity

Fraser is like the fecking energizer bunny

Never their FK

Ugh

That Bruno goal was ridiculous! Who turned us off and on again??

Right, who was slagging Bruno off??

Willock should have done better there

Really struggling to get out without ASM as an outlet

Tbf Southampton have pressed really well, forcing mistakes

Pegging us back here

We need half time to regroup

Hopefully Manq gets on in the 2nd half because that right hand side is powder puff

All Southampton this now

Started well but we're fading out of this, need to take control of possession here

Looked a fraction offside there

Schar down

Stupid tackle

Thing with Krafth is, although he has a clanger in him Howe has them all better focused than under bacon boy. Plus the fact the players have been talking about how they cover for each other. He's a weak spot but it's not the end of the world.

Just a question on the Chelsea situation again, what does that mean for their Premier league money at the end of the season, does the club still earn that?

Of course it does, at the very least an empty stadium every week would have damaged the PL brand and seen us on TV less which in turn impacts the money received.

Can't blame the beaten dog for flinching. There's always that thought in the back of your head, it's great that we didn't play well against Brighton and still won but you can't help but wonder if we were in a purple patch up until then. I trust Howe and he's earned that trust 10 times over but it's going to take time for the belief to be back full time.

Tbh to Ralph I think the interviewer was leading him on a merry dance and winding him up a bit with the line of questioning. But he fell for it and whittled on like a playground fall out.

I just hope we win to push Ralph over the edge. ASM to start, I'd like to see Bruno in for Shelvey as he was a yard off pace against Brighton and needs a rest, same could be said for Fraser but he's been instrumental in ASM absence.
