We asked for your thoughts after Wednesday’s Premier League game between Southampton and Chelsea.
Here are some of your comments:
Southampton fans
Niko: Even After the Brighton game, I was still “Russell in” and was encouraged by the performance, but we have just been humiliated in every aspect of the pitch. The only positive was that Stephens got sent off which means he can’t play next game! If we are to stay in the Premier League this season, then we have to let Martin go and soon!
Eddie: Absolutely awful display. Stephens should be stripped of the captaincy. Goalkeeper would struggle to get into a Conference team. Trust the process? I give up. Why should I waste my money watching that?
Mike: Is Russell Martin the only person not to see the problem? The way Saints are gifting goals left, right and centre as a consequence of this daft tactic of passing out from the back is nothing less than ridiculous. The players simply aren’t good enough for it. It’s actually becoming embarrassing.
Roland: Didn’t do Russball very well in Championship, against the best sides. Obvious that we would struggle in the Premier League with players under pressure from the kick off. We will go down even more pathetically than last time. Any good players will jump ship in May, again!
Chelsea fans
David: The Blues have their mojo back… serious contenders.
Chris: Another competent performance, but the defence still needs sorting. Disasi still gives the ball away too much and they were caught out by Southampton too many times early doors! We need a settled side with our best players if we are going to go on and “dominate” this division!
Matthew: Really good performance from us, also really good to score five goals away from home. It’s also great to hear the supporters getting behind Enzo Maresca now and it’s really good to see us playing like this. Huge away game for us on Sunday now.
Fossie: Really good display. Largely in control of the game and really should have doubled our score, especially after the needless sending-off. Good to see the fans supporting Maresca, he has got the team and the balance well sorted. Still a long way to go in the season, but there is every chance that we are in with a chance of silverware.
