REACTION VIDEO Saints 0 - 5 BRENTFORD | Saints Thrashed

Southampton or thrashed by Brentford at home.
Another embarrassing performance .

[@Lee1976-m4j]

In a nutshell, Martin! Watched it from the comfort of my armchair, and to say that was abysmal would be an understatement! At least that should tell the manager who is not needed next season. Now I need to watch some vintage Saints from yesteryear - Ron Davies, Channon, Paine, Keegan, Ball, MacDougall, Moran, Le Tiss, Lambert etc to help me forget this current team!!

[@keepinini9319]

Fair play to you Martin, your commitment to creating reaction content (very quickly) is brilliant. As fans it's good to wallow and analyse whilst the iron is still hot, rather than waiting a couple of days when we have almost got over it! Keep it up!

[@martinwood9014]

Thanks for having to put up with that performance in these temperatures

[@jarvislives77]

Honestly they didn’t give a f**k, disgraceful. Costs me over £100 a match with tickets, travel and food and they can’t even be bothered

[@julieionache586]

lmao, spending that much on Southampton already relegation guaranteed is wild

[@jarvislives77]

You’re not wrong…

[@paulleray7699]

Can't add much more than what has already been said 100+ times already this season unfortunately... so poor on so many levels. Feeling gutted and utterly dejected. The end of the season can't come quick enough sadly. What must Everton be thinking, having been the only team to lose to us this season?! 😂 Keep up the great work Martin, follow you every week 👍🏻

[@AussieSaintJohn]

I think we were very lucky to beat Everton on that day you spoke of... Doesn't bode well for the rest of the season does it, unless Ivan Juric can get them playing but can he? are they even good enough... Personally, I remember seeing glimpses of this last season when we got hammered a few times... We did concede 63 goals... and we've already conceded 44 this season after 20 games 🙄

[@LondonEmergency999]

Big respect to Southampton fans who keep going to games, this was a horror show from Southampton and it's outrageous the club puts honest, hard-working paying fans through this.

[@Hurbster2112]

Knowing the type of football Juric likes, that must have driven him crazy.

[@chriswhent1174]

Lifelong Saints fan watching from Spain, it was a shambles of a perfermonace, lack of desire and cohesion just an embarrassment. I feel for the Saints fans enduring that crap. Of course I will always support Saints but this lack of commitment from the players disgusts me.

[@BenM388]

best of luck in your next game, but 8 shots 1 on target is embarring for the saints, nowhere even close to the levels needed for this tough league, hope you guys find a solution

[@galboy7899]

Quite a few of us bee's fans now realise we haven't got a local game to go to , very sad performance from the saints,good luck next year in the championship 😢

[@yv3652]

You guys are truly loyal fans.I could tell it was the players.He wont lose anything giving them a right rollicking from now on.Time to tell them straight from now on and instill some order and discipline.

[@jacrook125]

Great to meet you today. Cannot take anymore of the owners and players who think the fans are mugs. Saw the same shame on the pitch. Another five nil lost. Normal!

[@FootballMartin_]

Was lovely to meet you thank you for saying hello

[@musicman4164]

Personally I think we'll beat Derby's record quite easily. If we never got another point this season it wouldn't surprise me, we are that bad.

[@jarvislives77]

I’m done caring

[@mattking5936]

I can't see them getting another point

[@danielbuxton4493]

We should go 442. KWP is our best player. Play him in his position: right-back. Play Sugawara ahead of him. He's brilliant at whipping crosses in...but cannot defend. Share this spot with Amo. Put Dibling on the left of midfield, competing with Fraser. Play two strikers, big un (PO or the Brighton lad if we can get him) and a little un. Play a back four. ABK, next to THB/Bednarek. Downes plus Les in the middle. Need to buy, or more likely loan, one more CM this Jan. One with an engine. Recall Shea Charles for this if possible. Get rid of: Sulemana (awful with a bad attitude), BBD (awful, with a bad attitude), Bree (plays scared), Aribo (just doesn't or can't work hard enough), Taylor (looks shot to me), Lumley, Stephens (legs have gone) and Adam Lallana (shot). All of that might, MIGHT, mean we have a shot at avoiding the lowest points tally on record.

[@spakey1983]

Hi Martin tried to catch you 15 minutes before the game just to say hello but yeah exactly sums it up really just want this season to be over so far the journey to the prem was better than the destination completely outclassed by everyone and it's getting embarrassing I Blame RM and sports Republic. RM bought all his mates over to the club and realised that they are not good enough and sports Republic for going along with it I'm hoping they will think about selling up cos we need to be the main priority and not 3 other clubs

[@JamesBRox-dv1pk]

You're failing to address the Elephant in the room: Sport Republic SR wanted to save money by recruiting lower division Manager and players.. : The PL is for the grown ups, not some kids, our best hope is a new owner. We are making these teams look better.

[@FootballMartin_]

Take a look at my latest video with Glen. We discuss SR and the owners the mess and where next. It’s a mess top to bottom

[@JJJJJJJJJJ2023]

Not defending them, but to be fair to them,THB, KWP, and Bednarek did come over to clap the fans. They were all booed.

[@haydencox1694]

Stupidly brought my ticket for Man Utd away, dreading it

[@SkyAIGrey]

I feel sorry for Ivan! That's the truth... He must b e wondering what the hell he signed up for It was a SHAMBLES, non of them fit to wear the shirt! I hope he has them in double training sessions so they work out how to play football! Also lovely to meet you up on EE in the Chapel End Martin!!

[@stevewarwick805]

This is the worst saints team i have ever seen and i have been a fan since 1968

[@finbarrkelly1]

Before today I thought we will beat Derby record, but now I can't see it, i know these players are bad but we shouldn't be losing 5-0 at home to Brentford.

[@Saintcosser]

I’ve been a Southampton fan for 34 years and tonight I’m at my lowest ebb. Utterly disgraceful and I’m ashamed for the first time in my life to say I’m a Saints fan. The only positive for me is I missed my first home game of the season today. Phew.

[@sholingcalling]

Deep, deep despair. Time for a fresh start. Sports Republic out

[@sholingcalling]

@SaintWill70 well yes I wish them to sell to someone else because they're shit.

[@russyoung3036]

I decided to go and watch Hamble Club vs Porchester in the Wessex Premier. Nuff said!

[@martm216]

@russyoung3036 good choice!

[@fumblingdetective]

Saints have same number of points at half of the season as Derby did when they had 11 points.

[@grahamevans9427]

That was disgusting you had a group of players that never even looked like they wanted to play I’ve been a Southampton supporter since 79 and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Southampton team as bad as today no commitment no enthusiasm absolutely disgusting. I don’t mind losing when we play bad but to not even compete the worst thing that’s ever happened to this club is sports Republic take over marcus will be turning in his grave they need to sell the club on because they have no interest whatsoever in achieving anything.

[@chrismilesie]

I've been wat hing Saints for 50 + years, worst team imo, well done to you Martin tho. I've had enough now.

[@magnusfiskvik509]

Shocking, simply shocking. I feel for you paying for this sheit week in and week out. Today was even worse than under RM, as you said it could easily have been 0-8 or even another 0-9! I was inteding to go to Ipswich away (from Sweden), but once Juric was appointed I abandoned the plan (Sorry he is not for me but I hoped he was going to prove me wrong and still early of course, but this is bad regardless of manager).

[@CabbageFace_]

Feel for you brother, you turn up week in week out. And watch that crap

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

our owners have overseen this shambles

[@finbarrkelly1]

Have they got anything right since they walked in the door ? However, 2 premier league relegations in 3 seasons is quite impressive

[@grahamevans9427]

That was disgustingly you had a group of players that never even looked like they wanted to play I’ve been a Southampton supporter since 79 and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Southampton team as bad as today no commitment no enthusiasm absolutely disgusting. I don’t mind losing when we play bad but to not even compete the worst things ever happened to this club sports Republic taken over they need to sell the club on because they have no interest whatsoever in achieving anything.

[@ChrisB9070]

That result was nailed on once the teamsheet was announced. How on earth Sulemana gets near this team is beyond me. We have to carry way too many players and that’s why we get thrashed. Sulemana, Aribo, Onuachu, Bree, Ugochukwu all either non athletic or non-triers and have proven that in the past. Stupid team selection.

[@AussieSaintJohn]

Unbelieveable... so disappointing, where do we go from here? 😯😇⚽😇 Doesn't bode well for the rest of the season does it, unless Ivan Juric can get them playing but can he? are they even good enough... Personally, I remember seeing glimpses of this last season when we got hammered a few times... We did concede 63 goals... and we've already conceded 44 this season after 20 games 🙄

[@kenc4104]

Perfect sum up MArtin. The players are over paid Divas. I don't think we'll get close to 11 points.

[@davidbunney201]

Out of the frying pan into the fire.What is the matter with these players Just happy to pick there wages up. No pride No commitment We look as though we will finish with the lowest points every in history.from the Prem

[@mark6809mm]

Hi Martin, I left with Harrison when they scored their 4th. Horrific today

[@kenc4104]

The step up for players like THB, Downes (I know he didn't play today) is just too much. I think this team would struggle in the Championship.

[@alanedwards2217]

Really upsetting watching the team today. Gutless performance and players look like they don’t give a shit. Team is in a real mess at the moment which will take a long time to sort out. Spend a lot of money to watch that😮

[@floppytnarwal1641]

An absolute disgrace from top to bottom.

[@Asa93-u6c]

Brentford were everything we wasnt. We seem to be getting worse! This will be our 3rd relegation from the premier league and clearly our worst! And on a final note, tall paul? Did he win a competion in a cereal packet to play in the premier league? On a par with ali dia!

[@martm216]

Yes it's obscene nonentities like our lot pocketing £50 or £60 grand a week - for what?! It's disgusting.

[@hazharibo7439]

Well that's depressed me and I'm not even a Saints fan. With boxing you can throw in the towel and the beatings are over.. this is cruelty happening to you. I hope you turn it around Saints

[@danprichard5432]

So bad today, is it me or do the team just look so unfit they can't even run. No respect from the players for the fans, like you say straight down the tunnel at the end, disgrace

[@dottzie33]

they never had to run under RM. Most of them looked shattered against West Ham after 15 minutes

[@finbarrkelly1]

Being fit is a minimum for a professional footballer.

[@finbarrkelly1]

I would guess players got away with a lot under RM, think he was operating as of one of the guys instead of a manager

[@danprichard5432]

​​@@finbarrkelly1you would think, but they looked nackered after 10 mins. No hope of pressing and no pace anywhere. Its painful to watch.

[@finbarrkelly1]

@danprichard5432 yes it was painful

[@mattking5936]

Why were they not putting any pressure on the Brentford keeper. He stood for extended periods with his foot on the ball. Our forwards stood outside the box looking at each other. Were they told to do that?

[@marktalbot4wd]

Sulamana should never pull on a Saints shirt again. That’s it, done for this season. They can’t be bothered, neither can I. Juric, the Croatian Nathan Jones. Tall Paul, dire.

[@blotsinn]

Saints have been terrible for many years, no one can ever forget those two 9 nil thrashings few seasons back. It doesn’t matter who the manager is, the whole team is wet, minus a few decent players who will inevitably move on, as they always do. Why would any good player want to stick around?

[@steveconnell3045]

I just want this season to be over we need a total rebuild if that requires us being away from the premier league then so be it

[@SanMartan]

haha I remember hearing this the last time saints sent crashing out of the EPL

[@jizzam1984]

No fight No passion Where's the pride of playing for the badge saw no of that today starting to wonder if SR care about Goztepe more than Southampton

[@dottzie33]

I like Bree but why is he starting him. Put KWP on the right and Manning on the left. Get Sulamana away from my team he doesn’t bring anything. Aribo not strong enough in midfield. Sugawara I do like but again made 2 silly mistakes leading to 2 goals and a silly penalty given by LO

[@finbarrkelly1]

Sugawara seems a liability at defending, Ugochukwu performance has to be one of the worst I've seen in a long time. Manning has been decent, deserves to start at least

[@jameswells8713]

Seriously mate. Never should have sacked Russel. At least when we inevitably got relegated we would know how to get back up because this guy is just going to piss off at the end of the season and we will be back to square one. Players are to blame but noone ever acknowledges that they arent good enough or care enough

[@Saints-Forever]

Under RM, we would probably lose by a dozen goals today with half a dozen giveaway at the back

[@Asa93-u6c]

Irrespective to what juric is like, martin HAD to go, its not even up for debate, shud have gone alot sooner.

[@Saints-Forever]

@Asa93-u6c agreed. They should hv sake him much much earlier

[@Rts22375]

None of the newly promoted teams stand much chance ... the premier isnt set up to allow that to happen...

[@quesoo651]

Are you making a video watching the match

[@FootballMartin_]

@quesoo651 the blog will be out later my friend

[@quesoo651]

@FootballMartin_ 👍

[@colinjohnpack3105]

I blame the players not the manager paid good money and play like shirt drop their money till they put their harts in it we are going down fact

[@tonyyeboooooooooooah2104]

Southampton will win the next 12 games and stay up. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Drlemon2009]

Between now and may the fans and the club is going to become very very toxic and broken let’s be honest saints were terrible today I have a season ticket and I regret buying it as the players have already gave up( apart from dibbling) we were shocking

[@barryyeatman5341]

the saints players have lost the plot they are not premiership players

[@Garlicky-831]

Are you kidding me 🤬
