Southampton turned in a rather underwhelming display in a crucial match on Saturday as West Ham United defeated them 1-0 at St Mary’s.
Sebastien Haller’s strike in the first half sealed all three points for the visitors, who moved well clear of the relegation zone with the win.
Numerous Saints players failed to step up when it was necessary, and it’s safe to say that plenty of supporters have been voicing their frustrations with some members of the squad.
Among those who have come in for some criticism following the West Ham game is Cedric Soares. These supporters have had about enough of the wantaway Portugal international’s showings…
Twitter: Cedric has nude photos of Hasenhutll which is why he keeps on starting.
Pass it on.

Read Southampton’s verdict
Cedric has been dreadful in recent weeks, and he did little to convince anyone of his qualities on Saturday.
He failed to cope with a looping ball to the back post, which led to Haller’s decisive goal and struggled to contain West Ham’s pace on the break throughout the evening.
Cedric has already made it clear that he’ll be off in the summer, but Saints shouldn’t waste any time. Selling him in January and recruiting a new right-back is a must.
