Southampton (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[.db.]

Too slow in the first hour of the game. If we’d played like the last half hour from the off they’d have collapsed at some point, but they had loads left in the tank after an easy first hour.

 

[noseve]

Thread full of entitled clowns on here as usual.

Sure the boys may have had one eye on next week but still it’s always good to get a point and a clean sheet away from home which maintains our lengthy unbeaten run and leaves us well placed to finish top 5

Cup final to look forward to next week, all is well in the world

Sadly predictable post.

I think the poor sods who have travelled are 'entitled' to expect more, surely?

 

[Keeper!]

The worrying thing is Haaland against a low block without peak KDB

Low block, the most stupid phrase ever, it's easy to defend against a team that walks and does not run.

 

[Blueknows]

Two

Two words for Pep - Abduqodir Khusanov. His treatment of him has been shocking.

Gonzalez and Mamoush as well

 

[city68]

Pep not on this planet now,no wingers for Halland absolutely crap don't know what he was thinking..

 

[madloaf]

At least we know the boys won't arrive pissed to this cup final. Unless like us they have to watch that shit again which would drive anyone to drink.

To drop points here when top 4 is needed is very poor. Sorry but on the manager again for me. He’s had a worse season than the players.

We need to spend big in the summer & what’s the point letting pep do it for only one season. Crazy to let pep spend if he’s going.

I love pep but for me it’s time to say goodbye end of the season. He’s running on empty just like most of our old boys.

We need new energy to motivate the club & let the new manager spend the cash

I agree. Loads of players and the management deserve infinite appreciation but not infinite time. Every team needs a fresh voice at some stage. And teams need new leaders eventually.

Pep being replaced by a worse manager at Christmas probably would have resulted in us being much more successful since. Just purely because the new guy would have a basic approach to the obvious issues.

I have no faith in Pep for next season. The man needs a rest. He deserves to take breather and find a new challenge.

We need to face the reality that of life after our most successful manager.

And the same is true for a number of formerly excellent players or players just in very poor form. They need a change and we need much higher levels of quality, bravery, inventiveness and hard work.

All on Pep, the man is infuriating

We are a better team without Haaland, and have been for a long while

Haaland coming back in stopped the fluidity in the team.
We look rigid with him in the starting 11.
Marmoush should have started.

Is the elephant in the room we have played so much better when Haaland got injured he just stands around the middle!

 

[TinFoilHat]

Bodo Gimp in the freezing rain on an artificial pitch looks a belting trip too.

Saving up for that one. I wonder what the local version of anti freeze will be to sup?

 

[Craig]

Serious problem in the team if you train all week for that and turn in that kind of performance. Careless.

Pick that team i don’t know how you’d expect anything else. Fair play he picked a worse team than shitshow at old trafford. If we’d started anything like the team that finished we’d have pissed it. 84 minutes to bring Marmoush on is baffling as Rico playing 75.

 

[Roachy]

Bastards. Hard week at work, full morning of work today, sit down at three to watch that shite with a four pack. Bastards.

Play. The. Players. Who. Shoot.

Count yourself lucky. I decided to follow the match rather than continue laying 3x2 flags in the blazing sun in the back yard.

 

[Blue2202]

Disgusting result and performance from every player (excluding marmoush) and especially Pep.

Its an absolute joke that a team (managerless on 11 points) playing to not have the worst points total in history can show more effort and determination than us looking to secure CL after a lets be honest - an absolutely woeful season.

Every one of them should hang their heads - but half of them don't seem to give a fuck based on today. A full week to prepare and thats what is served up? Its really got me triggered this result because its put CL in jeopardy now. Just ridiculous.

And before the happy clappers start, don't try telling me expecting a win today is being entitled.

 

[ancoats]

Listen, how about stopping all the bitching and crying about only getting a point, City have to move on quickly to the FA Cup final and they will need you all right behind them at Wembley.

We are still in a good shout of a Champions League spot, the worst is 5th when all the results that have to come in, so its still Champions League spot and other results could fall our way

 

[.db.]

No way we win another league or CL under Pep that style of football is dead and he won’t change

People were saying that in 2016-17

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

We play careful possession football because our midfield is shot. Rodri is out and KDB is 33. Pep has said this so many times.

Against Southampton though????

 

[Rammy Blue]

That was absolute fucking wank.

How did Pep pick that starting 11?

Marmoush only getting 10 mins is beyond belief.

Entitled

Expect

Jesus, listen to yourself.

 

[KS55]

We just lacked a little bit of sharpness in the final third. It happens

For nearly two seasons?
