Saints (A) Post Match Thread

Having that performance in the main, some great counter attackin, solid as fuck at the back, however a fully fit Sergio runs riot with those chances we created.

A solid 7/10 from me

Looking at relative form going into the game we can be pleased with that. Defensively, we're looking good, and getting better by the game. Still issues to address but the glass is half full for me.

Sterling is a flat track bully who never scores against decent teams or in big games. I read it on here so it must be true...

Maybe they'll shut up for a few days.

I am so far removed from a ‘happy clapper’ whatever that means, but that match thread was surreal.

Never going to be the same attacking team when having to accommodate a Rodri and Gundogan midfield.

Is there any possibility to not take 15 touches in the oppositions penalty area everytime we are trying to score?

Bored all my mates to death over the last couple of years over me being adamant John Stones is pure class. So happy to see him back playing like this. Absolute quality.

Now. If we could just finish...... It was like a training game upfront where 5 passes is a goal. So frustrating.

Didn’t deserve 3 points imo.

We are completely woeful in front of goal.

Stay in Cornwall mate

 

[Toney’s bookie]

Defence great. Let's hope once the front players click and find their shooting boots we'll be close enough to the top to go on a run and make a charge.

Great win.

The form side in the league, Gundogan was excellent again. I was worried when I saw him and Rodri up against that Southampton midfield which has been the driving force behind their success with such intense pressing and aggression, but the 2 of them dealt with it so well - passing through pressure, first to the second ball all the time, winning the ball back.

Dias and Stones got yet another clean sheet, and we weren't excellent in front of goal but we created better chances and Sterling buried it when it mattered.
