Morata deserved to score that goal. Cedric played Morata on, clearly onside. They were absolutely robbed. VAR is needed in Premier League too. Alonso took too many long shots and gave up possession. I mean this is gotten out of their hand. They are spineless. No threat whatsoever. Just pack the box and spy hazard and they won’t score. Too easy for the opposition. It’s very obvious now Sarri doesn’t know how to break teams that sit back and defend at all.

They are over-reliant on hazard, they have scored fewer goals than every team in the top 6 not just good enough. No cutting edge, Fabregas looked good when he came on. Ross Barkley needs to stop playing safe! They need more players like Fabregas because hazard cannot do everything alone. Morata was decent today. Dropping points against small teams has become just a normal day at the office. Passing is slow per usual the only thing Sarri added to this team is dominating possession but the decision making is so poor sometimes can't believe it when someone has to pass they will shoot when they need to shoot they'll pass it or just dribble their way to goal.

This team needs Fabregas selling him is a bad decision.This should end. They only pass the ball. Dead possession that's it. It's like playing negative football, like parking the bus, what's the difference If you want to pass the Balls 700 times in 90 minutes without creating 1 dangerous attempt? How can they become more effective on the last third of the pitch I don't know, but what I know is this team isn't creating. They need a change. Even if they win the next 5 games the problem will persist. I hope time can help Sarri to fix the problem.

There’s a reason they’re not title contenders and that’s because they don’t have a reliable striker. Champions of the Premier League can NOT struggle to score against a poor Southampton side. Pitiful performance, but they go again on Saturday in the FA Cup. They need to stop relying too much on hazard, they’re wearing him out already and overworking him, he needs help and the only way they could reduce the workload is getting in a good winger and a striker cause this is just too glaring that without hazard, they are not winning. Jorginho lacked creativity yesterday. A few minutes of Fabregas was better than Jorginho's last few matches. It's all well and good when they're on top. But when a team needs to be unlocked Jorginho is not the man.

On a side note, VAR is a must have. Yes, sometimes it slows down the game, but it takes some pressure off the referees by having a literal group of referees that look at every single possible angle to validate decisions. All they do is pass and lack creativity in the final 3rd - play like this for the rest of the season and top 3 is out of the question. Morata’s goal was onside, and a bad call cost them the game. They need a finisher type striker who is also a willing runner. They need to be making more positive forward thinking passes to the feet of the front 3 rather than passes from other back 4 to the corner flags. Finally, they have to remember that Sarri has been here for 4/5 months so they need to be patient the standard of the premier league has been higher than I’ve seen it for a while so they need to aim for top 3 rather than instant titles.
