Southampton (A) Post-Match Thread

I thought Cancelo did well. That error did Zinchencko in.

What did he do well? 2 good crosses. His defending was dire. Every ball hoofed by their keeper was flicked on in his zone with little pressure and mostly found their other striker. Walker would have stopped that instantly.

Gundogan is always a good place to start :)

I like Gundo.....sorry

yeah in second half . Only attacking outlet him and Dave linking up

With absolutely nothing to aim at.
No movement in the box.
Taking Raheem off was a mistake.
At least he makes the run and usually pulls two players with him.

Their box was packed and nobody was pulling them out of position.

74% possession, 24 shots to 8 - we played ok and worked hard. I think tonight showed a passing of the guard in the middle - Ferna and Merlin looked just a little slow. Maybe we miss Rodri and Gundogan more than many think. Jesus needs a goal and I want to see more from Mahrez who didn't impact the game at all. Bernardo and Jesus worked hard and are both out of form but it must be tough getting a rhythm with all the rotation.

could still be playing next week and we wouldn't of scored.

Saints battled well, it was one of those days that we could have played another half hour and not scored but we definitely need a centre half and a striker who has the instinct to get in the right place and score the tap ins

You know its not your day when Kev can't get his passing right.

Thoughts for you to sleep on.
1. We've suffered 9 defeats this season. Wolves have seven, Arsenal and the rags have 8.
2. Southampton conceded 9 to Leicester last autumn.

And we are above all the teamS you mention

The problem is with Zinchenco he gets over confident. He needs to learn to be more disciplined.

 

[Patientman63]

It's the textbook way of beating us.

Wait for the fuck up (it'll come, be patient) score, then sit back and defend like fuck. If your lucks in, you'll catch another break out of our desperation to score, bag a 2nd, and it's game over.

It's effective.

26 shots!
6 on target!
It was just one of them days

One of those days that has happened for the 13th time this season.
