Southampton suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat to West Ham United at St Mary’s in the Carabao Cup, producing one of the worst performances I can remember seeing from Saints in a very long time.For me, it was comfortably the worst performance of the Tonda Eckert era by far the worst.Yes, it’s only the cup.
