But Elneny, Holding, Gabriel, Gibbs, Perez, Coquelin, Iwobi these are all solid professionals, who are far better than the tepid watery effluence they produced last night.
Just to put it in context, this is Southampton....Southampton at home......so yes i did expect the players that went out last night to be able to despatch them with a decent game plan and actually having an understanding of their opponents. Rather than this rigid Barcelona light one size fits all plan that you would be right in saying that these players don't have the ability to execute (but given that they are squad players and only one or two of them at any one time will be required to fill in to understudy a rested or injured player they don't need to be).
