Southampton (N) | FA Cup Semi Final | Man Of The Match

[Chasmcfc]

Let's go with Doku. different game with him on

Yep I definitely go for Doku like you said different match with him on.

 

[OB1]

Doku, his impact was huge.

Kudos to Nico for a fine game and a sensational goal.

Honourable mentions for Kova, Stones and Ake for performing so well after so few minutes recently.

 

[SamTheGuru]

Trafford: 8 Top keeper

Nunes: 9 My MOTM

Ake: 8.5 GRATE

Stones: 8 GRATE

RAN: 7 he did, but often into circles

Nico Gonzo: 8 extra point for the thunder strike

Reindeer: 5 off back to Italy you pop smiler

5MP: 5 needs a loan out to find himself again?

Kovacic: 7 very encouraging return

Cherki: 6 MUTED

Moush: 5 Touch like Fred West

Agree with most, but I think you have been generous with Ait-Nouri, Stones and Ake? I forgot Phil was playing to be honest.

 

[BlueMerlin]

I voted for the wonder goal. Another frustrating match, but we showed character by coming from behind and winning.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Kovacic. Best player on the pitch by a mile for an hour. Understandably had to come off. Doku next best.

 

[Citycity76]

Foden looked funming when his number came up

 

[SWPISHOME]

Foden looked funming when his number came up

Hopefully he was fuming with his own performance.

The decision to take him off was correct.

 

[Sam69]

I hesitated between Nunes for his excellent performance throughout the match, Nico G's phenomenal goal, and Doku.
But I gave it to Doku; his entrance was explosive, he destroyed everything in his path.

Stones and Ake also had a good match, Especially Nathan Ake, who was very solid.

Kovacic was also good and showed great technical skill in midfield, but he was substituted very early in the second half (I didn't understand why he was changed).

 

[Marvin.]

Doku was brilliant. He won every take on. His dribbles don't always lead to goals but he is so exciting to watch

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Mateo, just ahead of Jérémy, Nathan and NG.

Considering he has hardly played all season, I thought Kova was excellent.

He didn’t get my vote but he was good. I have always liked him. Hope he stays fit and stays beyond this season.

 

[Ric]

Went for Nico, just for the goal, but Doku made the difference when he came on. Was a constant threat.

Kovacic was also good and showed great technical skill in midfield, but he was substituted very early in the second half (I didn't understand why he was changed).

Kovacic hasn't played for a long time. Probably knackered

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Mateo, just ahead of Jérémy, Nathan and NG.

Considering he has hardly played all season, I thought Kova was excellent.

I agree re Kova. I hope he stays.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Foden looked funming when his number came up

I was fuming when he was in the team.


Doku changed the game when he came on, he was a terror always trying to beat his full back and scored the equaliser.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Thought the defence were all excellent, Kova decent, Doku also great when he came on, but you've got to give it super Gonzo, just for that thunderbastard alone.

 

[alexmcity]

Doku was brilliant. He won every take on. His dribbles don't always lead to goals but he is so exciting to watch

Doku's importance is that he destroys the defensive structure of the opposition with his ball carrying and dribbling, spaces open up and other players exploit them. This doesn't show up in the G/A column but it's vital to our game.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Nico followed by Doku.
What on earth has happened to Foden?

 

[city68]

Doku changed the game ...

 

[youngbob]

Nathan Ake for me. To the point where I hope we keep him around as the ninth defender for one more season.
