It does seem odd changing the entire back four.

 Need to realise that the ref's letting play flow.
Going down when challenged isn't going to draw a foul.
Our midfielders need to be strong on the ball and to not  cough up possession

Plus it's a shit way to play and goes against the traditions of the club

Never mind who's supposed to be challenging at which end of the table - who's the home team? Maybe it's the weather?

No way this staying 0-0. Southampton are every bit a disaster at the back. We should be leading.
