I'd get iwobi off. Decision making has been dreadful he refuses to play digne through and wants to go it alone everytime he over laps. 

Other than that Southampton have played really well and if they defend as well as they habe second half we wont score a goal. 

James has needed to come deeper and deeper because we cant find him and Calvert Lewin is non existent as we have got nothing into the box for him to attack. 

Wouldnt know where to begin with changes, maybe Gordon is the only player that can offer us more in this game with his direct runs.

Iwobi has had a few bad touches, but generally he’s been one of the brightest on the pitch. Not sure why he’s getting all the stick when some haven’t even been noticed.

At least he is always looking to get on the ball. Had a shot and created a couple of chances.

He gave the ball away 3 times in 2 minutes- then failed to control a simple pass from James

Iwobi off, Gordon on. Push Digne to left wing and go three at the back (allowing Godfrey to play in his actual position). Extra man up top to hopefully allow us to bring James and DCL (who has had fuck all to feed off) into the game. 

Will leave us open on the counter, but we're 2-0 down at half-time so...

The problem isn't personnel as such. The problem is Soton play a good system which gets players between the lines and it catches out on the transition time and time again. Allan needs to hold his position more and I think Doucoure needs to sit alongside him with Siggy moving more as a 10. We are far too open.

The one player change would be Godfrey. Its not working for the lad. We either have to move him into a back 5 or just sub him out. The problem is all these changes are very defensive when we need to score goals. 

He may have been our catalyst this season but James has been crap. Giving the ball away a lot and not offering a struggling Godfrey a lot of help either. Siggy and Iwobi need to pull their finger out and DCL needs to get himself involved too.

Because Godfrey is having trouble, the whole defense tends to shift over toward his side, leaving gaps toward Digne.  Doucouré rather than James on right.  Get James in middle with Sigurddson.  

Thats not so much because Godfrey is having trouble, but he's left 2 on 1 over and over if Doucoure isn't there to cover him.

Think it also has to be said that we’re missing Coleman too. 

Missing a leader. Wheres Keane/Mina. I want them screaming and controlling everyone around them. Midfield 3 are not cohesive. James did fuck all, didn’t look interested. Digne has made plenty of runs forward but is ignored each time

The next 45 mins are going to show if we have the necessary to make a proper challenge this season. Carlo needs to adjust the balance of the side to get us into their box more, or for shooting openings. Siggy unlucky with his shot hitting the bar, if you don’t shoot you don’t score. Looks like Bernards on for Iwobi which seems right given Iwobis poor touches.
