[Tugay One Cup]

I swear Ruben's passing is getting better every game.

 

[SidJames]

Tyler and Hichcliffe should give our ears some respite now.

Gutted silence.

Would be nice to string two passes together. Looks like we’ve forgotten how to play football.

It's not laziness or mentality or forgetting how to play, Southampton are just a really good pressing side and we don't have our most press resistant player, Rodri, we don't have our best CB who will help out the midfield, and we don't have Gabriel Jesus, who will hold the ball up, and drop into midfield to help out.

As I'm writing this, we've just scored, so it makes the rest of the point I was going to make irrelevant, but I was going to say we can still win this game, it just won't be in our normal possession dominant style because Pep's taken out a lot of the cogs that generate that possession.
