I know mate, I said the scoreline flattered Spurs big-time, and MK said it didn`t. Not sure what game he was watching. Spurs were pretty atrocious all over the pitch. Southampton are one of the worse sides in the division and they completely overrun Spurs, especially that last 30 minutes, they could have had half a dozen minimum.
Got to agree Sandy, 3-1 was flattering in the end. If they’d pulled it back to 3-3, it would’ve been deserved in the end.
I think in fairness we chilled out at 3-0 up and let them have it and played like it was a friendly cos the game was won.
But I do agree we can look very open at times and that's got to be due to so much rotation in the back 4. I sort of understand the rotation of the full backs as they're up and down the pitch all day so will be exhausted, not the CBs though. With the amount of possession we tend to have they don't exactly have to work their socks off.

It is very, very worrying how poor Spurs looked tonight. Alarm bells are starting to ring with me about Poch and his rotation.
On another note, Arsenal have just beaten us, are twenty unbeaten and are still below us.

We looked so poor in CM tonight, there was too much space around and Saints had too much time to play.
I hope our illustrious leader has something up his sleeve for January, because we badly miss Dembele and Wanyama. And Dembele likely won`t be here next season and Wanyama it appears is now a crock.
I like how you keep saying how the hit the woodwork yet don’t mention we done the same.
We strolled to 3-0 and then sat back as you could see physically the players were shattered after the huge games we’ve just played.
We are working with a squad of about 15 decent players this season due to the continuous injuries we are having.
Yet we sit 3rd
We hit the post once, granted. That second half performance still worries me though.

We scored twice in the second half. It was literally the last 15/20 mins but that’s fatigue hitting the players.
We desperately need a few back from injury especially in CM ( we actually need to go buy one in January )

That second half was shocking, however you care to dress it up. Yes Spurs won, but they were completely overrun after the went 3-0 up against a team that everybody has been beating this season. We made them look like Barcelona that last half an hour. Totally unacceptable.

Against Arsenal at the weekend, Spurs also collapsed in the last 30 minutes, difference between them and Southampton is they did punish us with three goals. Spurs are conceding a lot of goals in the last 25 minutes of matches this season, so something not right.

Our centre midfield and full back options are the worst in the top 6. If we can get through to January inside the top 4 then Poch has worked wonders.

Tonight's performance was no different to against Arsenal, other than we scored one more and Southampton did not take their chances like Arsenal did.

Who can we get realistically? Rabiot will be on the cheap with his contract expiring. Only player of sufficient quality I can see us going for.

Rabiot would be the dream but I see him seeing out his contract and moving to Barca.
We conceded one offside goal in the final minute of the game when half our team was already rolling down their socks to remove their shin pads.
Stop bleating. Yes we shouldn’t have switched off so much but the game was won. Hitting the woodwork is called a ‘miss’.
Comfortable win without having to exert ourselves. Job done.
