Yeah, I do know they never beat us. However, you said the front 3 players don't know whether to stick twist or turn. Yet they did at SFC. They looked very interchangeable and had plenty of movement and, as you have pointed out, they had inferior players.Southampton never beat us with Poch or MS in the prem. Koeman had a weaker team in the season after Poch left and he did better than Poch in the prem.
Saints did OK under Poch. Just like Spurs did OK under Poch. IMO the weak link is not our players. Our team shape and slow starting lineups point to coaching/management.
All I was saying is SFC played decent looking football. Logic says that with our vastly superior players we should then perform better? Lallana hasn't shone at Liverpool has he?
How comes our players also struggled under Sherwood, who ripped up the coaching book, if it's the coaching? I seem to remember them dishing out some serious crap then too.
Basically coaches do not tell players not to pass and not to move into space. Neither do they tell them not to run into space that is there.
