Yep, but at least you take your chances when you get them. We have a decent half and waste chance after chance.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
The club aren't responsible for the tactics or style of play. Ed is doing a great job on the commercial side and has given enough money to our managers. Everyone was happy with LVG and most people were happy with Mourinho when they were appointed.
Oh don’t get me wrong, I fully agree. Our squad is up there with the best in the league, and I firmly believe that we could be doing much better with these same players.
What I was referring to was the constant shifting of goalposts over time, from saying that other teams’ squads weren’t that good in the past, and now when they’re outperforming us saying that they’ve always had better squads.
We’ve seen it with City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs. I was saying it’s only a matter of time before we start hearing that Arsenal has a better squad than us as well. Nothing to do with the coaching, of course. Nothing at all.
Think people were happy with Jose because he was a serial winner, but he also said he understood what the fans were wanting. Trouble is that didn't include decent football and now the winning has gone. Without the winning Jose is nothing.
People have been saying that our players are not good enough to beat the likes of Brighton or to play anything resembling coherent football so arguably we'd gone past that stage long ago.
Think Arsenal's defence is dodgy, but they don't actually have to defend much at the moment, they just go forward with the fullbacks. Think they have realised if they just out attack teams they will get wins. It might not work against the other big sides though.
We'll just about be in the conversation for top four. Need a personnel upgrade at the back to be considered for anything.
It’s still a step forward from Wenger though. Under him over the last few seasons there was every chance that Fulham would have gotten a result today. They’re moving forward, playing positive football and actually enjoying the journey.
We’ll see how they do against the better teams, but I think Emery will set them up more sensibly than Wenger did. We wait and see.
Maybe it is that Emery expects a lot more from them, that unlike Wenger he wants trophies and the big ones at that. He might be training them harder, so they are a lot fitter.
Southampton vs Chelsea
WHAT in the world are Chelsea wearing?
What the hell is this kit.
PJ
Homage to our 1995 Tangerine and Graphite kit?
Chelsea socks reminds me of Cech in Chelsea jersey.
Powder Blue. It looks like that to me, or is it a washed out grey?
I like the Saints but c'mon Chelsea!
Chelsea still have a great squad
Kepa is good
Azpi one of the best in the league
Alonso superb
Kante is a legend
Jorginho is a world class
Hazard top 3 in the world
We’ll see what happen

The socks looks stupid with the rest of the kit.
Hate to say it but Hughsey starting to look like a late entrant into the Roy Hodgson Lesbian Owl Tribute Foul Attitude Hazel O Connor Moose Rotary Awards of 2018.
Saints shouldn't have kept Hughes on
What is with the obsession with kits? "This kit looks nice. That kit doesn't." Who gives a flying f? It's all about the haircuts. Luis FTW.
Southampton barely touched the ball. They are way too deep in their own half. No options to counter also.
It really helps when you have multiple players proving to be threats - Iwobi is in great form, Welbeck has been scoring goals, Mkhi played very well today and of course Laca and Auba have been lethal. The only player that hasn't shown any form until today has been Ramsey, so the squad has been able to spread the load effectively. At United it seems like everyone is out of form at the moment.
Also having Torreira helps our midfield greatly, now Xakha has been in good form with the extra support.
Chelsea have dominated this from the word go.
It's taken a few months but I think I can now correctly say and spell Arrizabalaga.
What a turnaround for them from last year, you can see players bought into Sarri’s style right away.
Ings
Ings misses a sitter
What a miss, Ings should have scored that.
fecking hell Ings you absolute beauty!
Chelsea not looking good so far despite the sky wank fest every time they complete a 10 yard pass.
Glad Southampton have decided to come out and play.
Oh Ings you idiot. 100/100 he scores that against us the Scouse knob
Romelu'd that one
fecking stonewall pen not given. Where's that VAR?
Ings would have scored that if he was playing at Old Trafford
how was that not a penalty
Little guy is lethal. One man team.
Best player in the league, if not the world right now
Not worth the extra million to his agent though...
