Saints At FC Midtjylland The Verdict

There is no simple way to say this, the performance was simply unacceptable for a so called Premier League team.

Usually I try to take some plus points from a defeat, but its hard to think of even one from a performance that was quite frankly unacceptable, an old phrase in football is don't leave the field with regrets and our players must have needed carrier bags to carry theirs off.

The game followed exactly the same pattern as the first leg in Southampton with the Danes well organised and from the off employing any underhand trick that they could to gain an advantage, even the ballots were in on the act.

The referee could have done a lot more to stop their cheating, but did it change the result ? no the defeat was all of our own making.

In fairness it was another vital game where everything goes wrong before a ball is kicked, injuries to Victor Wanyama and Sadio Mane adding to the problem, but we still had enough quality players to do the job.

In fact the ONLY bright thing I can think of is that usually after a catastrophic game such as this Saints bounce back with a vengeance.

The Europa League tour is over now, we need to put it behind us and pull together as a club whether we are players or supporters.
