I actually think it is his fault though.

There were a few moments in the first half where Taylor by some fluke, managed to put in a semi decent cross and Ayew had bunched up with Paloschi instead of staying at the back post. If he was where he should have been he'd have possibly got on the end of it.


I noticed that last week too. Nobody gambles on the back post 😷😷😷😷😷😷

the two late goals at Norwich were massive for us today


Yes I stabbed my eyes out for nothing.

Very true Taylor put some good balls in we just don't seem to "do" people coming in late at the back post like every other side.

The orthodox are always orthodox, regardless of the orthodoxy.

Sinclair was fantastic at it, which is why he scored so many goals for us. At the moment - nothing.

Another game, just two shots on target and none for Paloschi.

Feel sorry for the poor bastard having to live off the scraps Ayew and Gomis have had all season.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Southampton are a good side so the result was not out of kilter with past years, but it was still a very disappointing display. What depressed me was how little we offered going forward. Especially in the first half without wingers, I thought we looked like a Championship team. It seemed to me that the Saints left Taylor as our out ball knowing there would be no end product. The other results went against us as well today. I'm hoping Chelsea get a a result (2-0 already) because I don't buy the line that Newcastle are not a direct rival. Lots of despondent Jacks were saying negative things as they left the stadium today.

We don't deserve any favours playing like that anyway, but that nagging feeling that the bullet has our name on it persists. Everton 34 shots today, WBA one on target and they win 1-0. Sometimes it's just your time, and watching us today, I'm not sure I've seen a much more timid, pathetic home performance from anyone all season in the games I've seen. And that's without seeing the first 40 mins. Maybe playing away will suit them better, although I can't see Totty and Arse not exploiting our central defence 'wave em through' policy.

not looking good when I most threatening source is a young inexperienced barrow, who should totally be starting the next home game by the way. I'd even see Ayew drop into centre mid and barrow n routs on the wings hugging the touch line than Ayew on the wing. He's just totally non excistent in our home games at the moment. We need a bit of width at home, someone on the left that Taylor can offload the ball quickly too and stay away from the attack. Montero should be on the bench. I'd like to see bafe and paloschi play together in the diamond also. Bafe is lazy but hate to say it he is our best striker in terms of talent, for me anyway.

I honestly thought Barrow was dreadful when he came on. Absolutely no end product at all (same as Montero really).

Oh don't get me wrong, no one turned in any sort of decent performance and it was a tough game to come into off the bench from our side playing the way we were. But, in fairness to the lad, he was the only one looking to run at defenders and open up some opportunities from our end. I like his direct nature and yes he certainly needs to work on his end product but I think he could be some player if he applies himself hard enough.

Has anyone else noticed our [newish] system of hoofing the ball speculatively forward from around the half way line? It doesn't seem to have any end product and I find it irritating. It was a flash-back Sousa day for me today. Awful.

No Sousa team would have allowed that many free headers.

Southampton are a good side blah, blah, boIIocks. They were awful when they got to the PL and nearly went down. They are now where we have been for the last few years and we should be competing with them at least. They might be alright but we've gone backwards and shouldn't be making excuses for losing to them at home.

Agreed. An awful game to come on to. Barrow has promise and we should play to his strengths.

I mean that side hasnt conceded a goal in 12 hours of football. If we can sneak a point in London..... no no no, Im giving myself hope again. Im supposed to be uncaring and resigned to relegation but I just cant help it......

Marking was abysmal but Taylor should have closed his man down it was far too easy to get the cross in.

There aren't many good teams in the Premier. If you get organizes and work for each other then mid table safety is a given.

We have lacked teamwork for most of the season, although we have seen a glimmer, but overall we don't have the luck because we don't make our luck

Ash unfortunately cost us game - should have buried Siggy's freekick and switched off for their goal.

They probably deserved to win the game though. Has many more clear cut chances than us.

We still have averaging more than a point a game. Have beaten Man U at home, Everton away, drawn at Chelsea away - so are still competitive - but teams like Stoke, Soton, West Ham and Leicester have got a lot better than us. Add those to traditional top seven and that leaves us in a fight with 8 other teams. Even if we do stay up have become a bottom half team.

Hopefully Guidolin can make us more competitive the longer time he has to work with us.

Guidolin does not seem to offer anything more than Curt did, in fact his results are worse.
