Southampton (A) Post Match Thread

[Len Rum]

first 75 minutes summed up our season really, but the last 15 was brilliant with 2 outstanding goals which is the level we need to show and it's great we pulled it out of the locker.

Now take that 15 minutes, and make it every 90 minutes till the end of the season and we'd win the FA Cup and comfortably finish top 4.

This^^^^^

Blimey mate, Silva's allowed way more than three passes not reaching the target. Didn't you see all his other inch perfect passes to Sane and Navas ?

Silvas pass to De Bruyne for the 2nd was the touch of the genius that we know he is !

Must be close to or already be our best ever top flight points total away from home?

You're one of the biggest flappers on here. A selection of the immeasurable bullshit you have subjected this forum to in just the last ten days alone:

Great a feckin stalker...

Big shout out for Toure for his amazing bit of footwork going through the saints defenders.

Kompany's aggression makes a big difference in both boxes. He defends proactively rather than reactively. If Navas could channel a little bit of Zabs aggression going forward he'd be twice as good as he his. Defensively he's always been decent but i wish he could attack the spaces ahead of him a lot better. Clichy was ok today again.

Can't blame the ref too much for the Sane penalty decision but Bertrand should have see red and a few Southampton players could have been booked for cynical attack stopping fouls.

Take KDB's assists out of the game and he was still more influential than of late. Hope the rest has done him good.

We kept the ball pretty well but some of the passing was a teeny bit sloppy in the first half especially some of the passing into Sane. Quite a few passes going behind the players instead of ahead which slows the attack.

Very good away performance

Currently level with 13/14 on 34 points, although that was W10 D4 L5, this season is W11 D1 L5 with 2 away games remaining. If we can win both (Boro and Watford) 40 points is an outstanding away total. Need to sort out the parked bus problem at the Etihad.

And also the top sides who park the bus, who likewise play on the counter attack with lightning pace.....like Chelski. Both "parked buses" scenarios present different skill sets to over come, which hopefully will be addressed in the summer. Two top fullbacks one left and one right will be a good starting point who both have lightning pace as one of their attributes

Anyone got a video of the foul on Sergio just before half time? I've got some rag **** on Facebook saying he dived and made a meal of it.

True. If we could match our away form next season and bring fortress Etihad back we'd be looking at 90+ points though, would be nice.

Why do you bother with Faecesbook? Especially wasting time arguing with some rag **** on it.
