we need some transfer day magic to save us from this horrendous shower. Cant see it though.
Kaboul ade and townsend should never be in the team. Need a leader in the team. We have none.

OK. I dont see that. I think we just got battered by a far superior side with an ingrained philosophy and better players. Losing to a better team at the beginning of a new managers reign wouldn't lead me to question the chariman, for example. we just need more time and better players in crucial areas.
I don't think Liverpool have better players. I think Liverpool have players who believe 100 percent in their manager and their philosophy. We have good players, but once the third goal went in you can see how they almost all switched off and thought '**** it, let Poch deal with the post-match inquisition'.
Poch needs players who know him, who know what he can do, who believe in him 100 percent. What was depressing today is that clearly, some of our players don't: they don't want to run themselves into the ground playing for him, and would prefer to switch off when faced with adversity. That will never, ever work in a team-based high-pressing system like Poch's, which makes getting his key targets all the more important. I haven't seen much evidence of that happening so far, is all.

Personally, I'm just happy we have got this result out the way, come at the perfect time imo - Better than doing well against 10 teams and faltering in our first test, our first test come three games in, time to pull the trigger on those targets tomorrow and get in those Poch believes will be crucial to this team going forward and who will prevent games like this happening.
Poch would have learnt alot about where we are at today. Like I said, if youre not in it, you should be sold. Southampton NEVER got embarrassed at home by anyone because the players fought as a team for Poch and believed in what he wanted. Some players out there don't. Move them on.

were you expecting an instantaneous revolution to rip through the whole squad, and suddenly players who weren't good enough last year to be world beaters this, in the space of one summer?
What should Poch have achieved by now? That we rock up and turn over a team that smashed us to pieces last season- and to do it with virtually the same set of players?
Heart comes from inside.The worst thing is that even with half an hour to play, we simply gave up. No heart, no desire, no passion, no one giving a toss. This is exactly the same as under AVB and Sherwood. Thats whats most worrying.
Dier completely lost Sterling for the first goal, then conceded a soft penalty, I wasn't impressed with his performance.

Agreed. I hope we haven't missed the boat for moving on some of the chaff clogging up the squad and getting in the way.
Heart comes from inside.
Sandro has heart, he would have chased and broken play, as would Lennon, would Moreno run away from him?
Capoue may have heart but he doesn't have pace. Bentaleb has no heart, he just jogs when we needed someone to track on his side Henderson or Allen.
But POCH doesn't rate Sandro and Lennon, it seems, so we will struggle. More importantly we don't have the cool finisher we needed, Ade and Chadli are not calm enough.
Chicharito might be worth a shout.
Same as last season, reasonable start, same 4-2-3-1 systems, first difficult oppo and we collapse, lose to Pool, next day Levy gets itchy fingers, lets hope this time he signs the clinical striker we have been crying out for, this time.
