Southampton v Burnley - Player Ratings

[ChristheViking]

Pope - 6 - cannot fault him for either goal

Lowton -6 -great ball in for the goal but after that gave McCarthy catching practice
Collins -8
Tarkowski - 5 needless goal to give away
Taylor -6 did well given how isolated he was

McNeil -7
Brownhill -6
Westwood -5
Cork - 4 - no legs

Cornet -7 two good goals and definitely gives us spark. Has to do more defensively
Wood -4 - he’s getting in in history at the minute because he’s not getting in based on form.

Point gained and a lot of positives to take from that. We do carry some threat going forward but we also look fragile at the back.
I would swap Brownhill for Cork and bring J-Rod in on the right or JBG. The wins will come.

I'm not sure the ball in for the first goal is actually that great or much better than most of the others he wastes. It's the run of Cornet (and the sleepiness of his statuesque marker) which makes it a great ball. (IMO)

Dyche needs to rapidly change our system or we are doomed. The Premier league has moved on and got faster.
Wood is a good player but it simply doesn't work anymore. Cornet is a step in the right direction but needs to play in a more fluent system with a faster partner.

How can anyone score Pope a 4? Did they seriously expect him to save their second?

It was drilled as hard as **** into the bottom corner.

Other than 2 routine catches what else did he do to deserve a higher mark. He was certainly below average and has been all season. Not sure he has fully recovered from the shoulder injury or is lacking confidence.

Your first sentence pretty much describes an average rather than poor performance. He certainly wasn't poor.

Hard work but looked very average today.

Two good strikes from Cornet saved the day.

Pope does not look himself at all. I can see him being 'rested, particularly if Hennessy has a decent match on Wednesday.

Need a win, badly.

From someone who gave Brownhill, who lost his man on the first goal, the same rating as Cornet.

I would hope he has recovered from the shoulder injury - it was three years and three months ago.
