That is one of the most garbage halves of football I have ever seen.
Players just doing lower league clearances most of the time, with no attempt to get the ball down and just smashing it vaguely forward. It took half hour before I counted us completing 5 passes. The formation isn't working, we look confused, defensively we're all over the place, and Southampton are just running rings around us. We've done less than zero with the ball, so zero chances, until a couple of counter opportunities at the end that were horrifically barbecued.
Somehow as this all happened we went 1-0 up. It unsurprisingly and quite justly didn't stay that way.
I don't know why we didn't switch to a back four after about 5 mins, there'd been enough warning signs by that point.
It just simply must be better than this.
