π΅οΈββοΈ Transcript:
you know the drill cheap goals conceded no shots on target it’s the same old routine each week and Saturday was no exception at Villa Park 1 nil to Villa the final score this week Steve it was the turn of Taylor haror Bellis to make the mistake that cost us the game it’s um SC harder to watch isn’t it it’s just utterly frustrating and in in many ways it’s kind of now a little bit mind- numbing um just there’s I while while everyone kind of said at the start of the season oh we’re making the same mistakes and it’s it’s all very predictable I actually thought we were we were making a variety of different mistakes at the start of the Season whereas now we are genuinely making the same mistake over and over again um and it is very much um I mean get get get Bill Murray on the Pod for um for a bit of Groundhog Day I think it’s um yeah it’s infuriating because Villa were there for the taking um once again we start a game quite well we look look half decent we’re on on the front foot we create some half chances don’t quite get the get the rub of the green opposition defends quite well as they’re perfectly entitled to do and then they go down the other end and we do something really bloody stupid um and it was I think kind of um like watching back on the highlights you you can hear that like even like Joe Tess’s even kind of suggesting that the the first mistake where Lumley has bafflingly tried to pass the ball two yards in his own six yard box um that that kind of precedes what happens then two minutes later where where the long ball comes and Har Bellis just just doesn’t just doesn’t get the ball under control in in the right place um in that situation while yeah okay the the sort of calm and collected um ball playing Center half you want to get the ball under and and then layer lay a pass off but when the wind is howling in the way that it was and it was absolutely ridiculous the the the weather conditions up and down the country um all day yesterday every game was like this ball goes in the air and it’s a complete lottery as to where it’s going to fall how how fast whether it’s going to pick up any Pace whether it’s going to going to just come straight back down from where um from where it came um and I think in those situations you’ve you’ve just got to be a little bit more pragmatic and and that’s what we’re that’s what we’re not that’s what we’ve continued to not do um like last season We There were pragmatic changes that we made after that sort of September horror run where we cut out the the vast majority of those really basic mistakes I mean obviously you’re playing against Championship side so the the level and quality is very different but we’ve not had that period Well we we had a little brief period of of a a handful of games where we were say making one mistake per game and and quite often we weren’t actually being punished for them and you’re thinking okay well may maybe we might have got the hang of this um but you come up against a side like like Villa who have been I mean for the first time really under unai Emery getting a getting a little bit of criticism for lack of form lack of um kind of tactical nouse on their part in terms of the way they they’ve been playing the high high defensive line for a while and you think well there’s there’s an opportunity to get at them and and we kind of did it up until the point that which made that first mistake and all of a sudden we’re like um just sort of heads gone for for five or 10 minutes um so yeah it’s again it’s a mental thing and it it then comes back to um other players we’re signing of the right level from a from a um Quality perspective some fit in some you can you can make do with every now and again but some you you wouldn’t want wouldn’t want anywhere near Premier League starting 11 quite frankly um but the mental side of things is the is the biggest issue and I to be honest Saints have had that for years even even when we were genuinely good um that that one that one sort of um Ronald kumman spell that one season yeah I mean that that was that was the time where you had a group of players who um you knew had the had that mentality of knowing exactly when to switch on when you could when you could get away with relax taxing um in certain circumstances and still get through and and get the um get the job done at the end of the day and we haven’t had that either side of that quite frankly and there is there is a me mental issue but a lot of a lot of the sort of the mentality is is learned over over a long period of time it’s not something you can just just pick up and run with and a new manager coming in doesn’t automatically instill a completely different mental mentality into people people um that’s just that’s just not the not the way that um psychology and this sort of stuff works um but I mean it’s clear to see that Russell Martin’s now getting um very agitated um I mean i’ I’ve not listened back I’ve not been able to hear any of the sort of the press conference in terms of whether the line of questioning was antagonistic I mean Al Alfie you’ll be able to answer that in a bit but um he’s biting at people and now throwing out sort of sarcastic comments about um about the fans cheering that we went long um I mean his his comments immediately after that were absolutely spot on in terms of explaining why we don’t go long because we’ve got short attackers who um if you go long the ball’s just coming back at you anyway so you might as well try and keep the ball the way that you feel that you have the best chance of doing so and pumping it up to Adam Armstrong against um ezri Conor and and pal Torres clearly isn’t going to work um but again in the conditions you’ve got a you’ve kind of got to pick your battles um and especially especially in the in the Press I know I know obviously everyone’s emotional like five 10 minutes after a game but it’s you’ve still got to kind of keep a lid on things and and say what needs to be said as opposed to um what you might want to say um sometimes because ultimately those words will have turned a number of people against him now well let’s ask let’s ask Alfie about those those comments because there are other things there are some positives from the game that I’d like to get into um there were some negatives as well that we need to address there were a couple of little bits uh Nathan wood I thought had a good game um but you know we’re all talking Alfie about um I don’t think he was blaming the fans it seems like it was taken slightly out of context to me but without blaming them he he sort of did and it it wasn’t the thanks for traveling all this way during a storm to watch the team it was a bit of negativity and and some words around that no exactly he wasn’t blaming the fans um you know I think anybody who actually listens to it or reads the full quote can see that he’s not saying that the fans cheering is the reason we concede the goal um but what he is doing is you know he’s he’s making a slide dig about the fact that they’ve ironically cheered his team going long and um you know that for me is is not acceptable um really but you say the fans have traveled all that way in a storm they were good good on the day by the way way they they were behind the team throughout um and yeah I mean rightly they’re all going to be um pissed off about it if I’m being honest so I think that was a really stupid thing for him to say and I’m you know I’d like to think he’ll regret it um you know who knows if he actually would but what say the qu the line of questioning he didn’t then repeat that in our press conference so he said that to Adam Blackmore um on the radio and often you get these sort of lines that come out uh in the radio and then we get about five minutes later we hear them as well he didn’t say that again so maybe someone said to him probably shouldn’t say that or or he thought it himself but he wasn’t an antagonistic line of questioning but to be fair to Adam Blackmore he did follow up and say well those fans would argue that having zero shots on target away from home is unacceptable as well and you know he agreed with that he’s right about that but it is unacceptable um yes so I thought that was a disappointing comment from from Russell and at a time when he’s just trying to sort of paper over cracks and Bridge relationships it was a really silly thing to say but um yeah you mentioned a couple positives I mean not many really there aren’t many positives I’ll leave Glenn talk about Nathan wood maybe but you know for 15 minutes they were decent for 50 minutes they were decent they had a couple half chances um and in that first half even after we went behind there was a couple times where they they regained the ball in the the the final third and they should have made something of it I think Flyn DS had one and there’s a couple others and they just don’t shoot they it’s the quality is wrong they they turn they pass it back and you just think you know what are they doing so there’s a there’s a there’s a real deficit there of of confidence of quality um and then that’s second half was Dreadful I mean it was so boring um you know Villa weren’t very good by the way they were fine but they weren’t very good um and yet they could have played all night and Saints would never have scored so you know that’s that’s mentality as Steve said that’s quality and I think that’s confidence as well and is you know of course there’s there’s tactical elements too does he sound to you Glenn like someone who knows that the writing is on the wall because he was I don’t want to blame Taylor Harbor Bellis but he shouldn’t be doing that and then obviously the reference about the fans as well just seems like he’s he’s he’s feeling the pressure um I don’t think he’s the sort of guy to be honest to to think that the writing’s on the wall you know andless someone it just seems to me to be very sort of like arrogant about the way he plays and this is the way we play and and I don’t think he I think it would genuinely be a shock to him if they pulled the trigger I think did he say this week’s he’s not been sacked yet in his career he made reference to that oh I haven’t been sacked yet we’ve playing this way for this many years and we haven’t been sacked yet like well it’s the first time for everything mate um you know um I mean it’s I’m I’m glad you went to the other guys first because I was basically going to say we turned up had possession gave a goal away had more possession did nothing lost that was it that was my match report gonna be a short blog this week yeah yeah could well be um I I basically can’t take being a laughing stock you know the team is a laughing stock the national media are now getting on the bandwagon and we are a laughing stock and that’s my club my city and by extension me as a santum fan um being a laughing stock I mean during the game you had Villa fans getting excited when we got a goal kick because they knew that they were going to be having another shot within about you know within within seconds or there was a very good chance of them having another shot now a goal kick is supposed to be the end of the attack that’s supposed to be okay you’ve had your shot that’s the end of your attack we’re now going to play but they’re cheering goal kick they’re cheering us getting a goal kick like we would cheer getting a corner or putting three passes together you know in the attack and third that that sort of thing so that’s what I mean about we’re becoming a laughing stock both Villa and Chelsea think we’re a laughing stock because they both rested their main n Center forward when they played us because they know that they could probably just pick any forward and we’ll give him a chance and and John Jan and the Chelsea lad both got goals against us from our mistakes so you know it’s it’s just it’s just Grim at the moment um I I thought his his comments would was stupid I mean after the after the Chelsea game and after most of the other games he comes out with all this Brave and proud crap um Brave with the people who traveled up there in that weather 3,000 people traveled up there and you should be proud of them but he decides to have a dig now yeah I agree it wasn’t a dig saying they caused the goal of course they didn’t but um it’s it’s it’s basically saying you know arrogantly the fans don’t know what they’re talking about now we all know some fans know what they’re talking about some don’t I’m sure some have accused us of not knowing what we’re talking about in our time but it’s not the sort of thing you say when you’re under pressure which is which is part of the reason you know I don’t think he thinks he is under pressure he just seems to be sort of like blissfully aware of it and we carry on we make we make stupid mistakes and you know it’s the same thing apparently we’ve given away 10 goals now uh for mistakes in our half I mean we we hear about this risk reward thing and he says oh we do it because of what it creates at the other end well we’ve scored 10 and I think we’ve conceded 10 from just from mistakes so that risk reward thing is is is not really it’s not really happening is it um but you know on the other side of the coin we’ve got terrible players in the front half of the pitch um there was tactical stuff that I didn’t get as well about the game I mean to start with dibling seemed to be as at the center forward and Archer was wide and and the Midfield we had Fernandez playing behind downs and then you wonder why DS gets into a position that he doesn’t really know what to do you know when he gets into an attacking position that’s he’s he’s a defensive midfielder what why are we playing him as like a a number eight and Char I know he he presses more aggressively than Fernand but Fernandez is 100% more creative and more likely to score I’d say but there was just just mad stuff going on and it was just so I mean Alfie got the right word boring yeah the second half was so boring it was just a it was just a case of whether you know I mean whether Nathan wood could stop um Aston Villa scoring again so he was he was the main positive I mean I’m not overstating this I thought he was brilliant just everything he did uh um I mean he actually did the right thing on the goal we conceded as well because he held off the player to allow har Bellis to to get to the ball and then Taylor made a mess of it but but in the in the second half in particular the wood he he basically threw himself at sort of two one-on-one you know one-on-one defending and he managed to um managed to keep the ball out he was excellent I mean we’re going to get onto the Chelsea game but we all know what we’re going to talk about with the Chelsea game um you know we’re not going to miss that idiot and that that that shows to me that you know Nathan wood should be certainly getting the minutes that that idiot would have got and uh you know and he proved me wrong because I’ve never thought much of him when I’ve seen him play in the carabel cup and in the preseason friendlies I thought he was thought he was a bit weak defensively but he he certainly stepped up to the mark and it’s it’s a really good example of um you know players who were not in the squad and not getting minutes this is what you do you get given your chance and you take it I mean we’ve got we’ve got some right idiot players as you know who get given minutes all the time never do anything I mean you know the chuckle brothers that we bring on up front every game at the moment we bring them on and suan and BR Diaz and everyone says oh well they they haven’t had much they haven’t had much time but it’s funny they always have enough time to show me that they’re crap but they never they never have enough time to actually show something that might be decent you know that might give you promise for the next game so then on the other hand then Sam ammo comes on not saying Sam ammo is a wellbe or anything special but his first action is to to beat someone and get a ball into the box something that Ben BR and Diaz cine haven’t done all season no Sam Amo put in the best cross of the game and we that’s where we are now we’re we’re remembering the best cross of the game because because we’re that should be our poll going forward yeah best best cross of the game but no I mean that that was a positive and that’s one thing Russell Martin did get right I’ll give him that because he bought Sam ammo on before he bought on those other two idiots so that’s that’s a change in the pecking order because in previous games he would have left Sam Sam ammo off and he wouldn’t have played um so yeah so so that was good um but yeah so he he was a minor positive Nathan wood was a major positive and um yeah and that was it but I mean I when I saw the starting lineup you look you look at our team and I know Nathan wub was a surprise but at the start of the game I’m I’m looking at it thinking Brie Manning lumely that that’s Adam Armstrong God he was awful that’s just that’s just poor it’s just not not Premier League standard there and uh so I wasn’t surprised the game panned out as it did and it was exactly the same as Ralph hasn Hut’s game up there where we let in a first half goal and then did absolutely nothing and stunk the place out basically so so so yeah let’s talk about the Chelsea gy that was even better you mentioned the uh the thing I hadn’t actually checked um Derby County and how many points they had at this stage of the season and I was holding off doing that and then one of us did it today and put it on social media and um it was pretty depressing they wer they weren’t they were further ahead than we were weren’t they Alfie was that right they had more points at the stage of the Season yeah they had they had more points than samamp do now by about a month ago to be fair but they they were on six points at this stage of the season um we should say they didn’t win a game for the rest of the year I do think that Saints may win a game at some point this season I do think that happen again um so I’m not like really really worried about it but Glenn mentioned there being the laughing stock of the the nation and you know Derby County will never live that down that is the ultimate humiliation I know you’ve had the nine Nils but if Southampton were some you know God forbid to break that record as well it would just be an utter disgrace and you would never forgive the people so they just cannot let that happen but I don’t think that’ll happen I really don’t the other side of the coin Steve I guess you know they’re a Champions League side um do we expect to get much out of it you look at the games in isolation we go to Villa we’re never going to get too much out of that and and actually you know we played right for 15 minutes and then it was a mistake that gave it away so is it about managing our expectations for those kind of games I mean partially um but then I mean you also look at I mean obviously we’re crap at predictions as we as we all know but um it was only Alex that predicted the Villa win out of all of us um and he admittedly knows he will sort of Happily admit he knows nothing about football um and here we are all all chatting away and we all stupidly went for us to get some sort of result um it was hope more than anything wasn’t it yeah but I mean thing is thing is these days I mean you look you look at it just um just sort of in isolation of one team sort of analyzing the squads up against each other and Villa’s team cost the best part of half a billion pounds to put together um ours very much didn’t and our team we had what eight players unavailable I think um still so um yeah so it’s so it’s a depleted side plus also being significantly weaker in terms of the amount the amount of investment that’s that’s gone in on it um so yeah I mean ultimately team that’s beaten Bayern Munich this season um should by rights be um also beating Southampton um and yeah same score same goal scorer um incidentally but um yeah I I think most people going in wouldn’t have I don’t think people expect us to win these games um but I think certainly in the first probably first 10 games I guess um you go into these games thinking well you never know um whereas I think weirdly Wednesday was probably the game that has kind of put us into that mindset of um now people are are now going into games expecting us to get turned over quite significantly because we hadn’t been Pro up until that point we’d we’d generally been in most games um and then obviously Chelsea we shot ourselves in the foot multiple times um and as a result all of a sudden that that confidence has drained but I personally I’d kind of take that Wednesday night horror horror show out of out of the way and kind of deal with everything else I think um this one we we competed for spells um but as as I said at the top at the top of the show we’re we’re doing the same things we are competing in games and then not giving ourselves a chance um and that will and more often than not that games end only end one way when that happens um as we’re seeing we kind of didn’t need to be here tonight we could have just played out last week’s podcast because it’s the same kind of things is isn’t it at the moment you talk about Groundhog Day the team making well last week we played well yeah true that’s right there’s an amalgamation in there somewhere um is there anything else on Villa before we move on because um we need to talk about Chelsea well I mean I think just like obviously the response has been really big to the Villa result and I think that I’ve seen more fans who now think they want change than at any point since the the Nathan Jones and Ruben CZ incidents um and I think that it’s a tough one for the board ultimately because you know I’ve been through the reasons a million times why they’re reluctant to to change manager again but fans are the the lifeblood of the club and ultimately if they if they don’t want the football that you’re playing then that’s a big problem for the manager and um you know they clubs do serve their fans they do have to answer their fans so they’ve got a a big Dilemma on their hands what I will say is you know obviously we didn’t get any news today the club are keeping their cards close to the chest obviously on this um but I think it’s been fairly quiet from what I’ve uh you know asked a couple people they told me but obviously we could get news in the next day or two but if we don’t then you have to assume that he’ll still be in charge of Spurs um and I just wonder what it’s going to take you know what it’s going to take to to make them think that all those reasons why they don’t want to get rid of him which are still valid um you know you know how toxic can it get before they they go all right we’ll have to do it so um yeah it’s a it’s a tough one for him now um I think Chelsea game Chelsea game I didn’t hear anyone there was not I don’t think there was anything in the ground you know people chanting against him or or anything like that so you know we got stuff 51 I think a few Boo at the end wasn’t it yeah most people’s anger was directed at um Captain idiot but you know it just seem to you know I mean we’re we’re quite a docile Bunch as a rule I think um compared to a lot of clubs but um one of which we’ll be talking about later on it is the the atmosphere because Phil got in touch and he says I think we really need to consider what leaving him in post with du to the supporters mood and the attendances you can have all the 10-year plans in the world and you can keep them in post two you could even tell people that you’re happy to do so but if the results keep on as they are it’s going to be a very toxic atmosphere among the 15,000 who will still attend and I think that’s your at the moment it it’s on the brink isn’t it it’s going to go either way and we’ll obviously get onto the the Spurs game in in just a moment
