when i first saw the line up, already knew we are gonna have problems, expected agger on the left and sakho in the centre but it was vice versa. mind you, sakho can be a good cb with exp imo but he is no left back, he is a lil awkward with the ball at his feet. the problem with us today was our full backs, enough said. too many times moses, sturridge, hendo and iago lack support at the wide areas. BR has disappointed me, i thought his footballing philosophy prides on passing game with incoming wideman paving way for fullbacks to go forward.

u cn c that the lack of movement forward from kolo n sakho invited more pressure from soton instead of providing pressure on their fullbacks. dont get me wrong, i dont expect us to win every game. but i wanted more from a team with confidence pretty high. i dont wanna talk so much on the penalty not given. things like this happens to all teams.

i am still a lil puzzled. i wish i have insights in the dressing room. so, sturridge miss all of pre season and yet he plays 90 mins in 5 of our games while kelly doesnt even get 30mins. yes he has been out for a year, but i think games like this, at home, n when we're missing glen, provides a good chance to ease him back a little. prolly give him a go of 60 mins then take him off. he played 90mins for the U-21 last week if i am not wrong.. if sturridge can play with 70% fitness, i dont c y kelly cant. i think even 50mins will do him good. n still, puzzled with jose on the bench. unless he picked up a knock, this is unacceptable.
