Saints (A) Post Match Thread

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

We have become resilient, but I miss that goal expectancy we used to have, now when we go forward I dont expect a goal. Needed the win though so that will do, Stones mom for me.....even though andy townshend decided to give it to a player on the losing side?

Please can we kick on from here.

To be fair he was good for them.

Thought we played really really well. Our finishing is woeful though. A complete contrast with how clinical Liverpool were today

Well put it this way,the last time a opponent scored against us was spuds

True and we seem to have stopped the tackles in the box that lead to those penalties at the start of the season

what part of that was brilliant exactly

The performance against a well rested good saints team. brilliant 3 points

 

[domalino]

The result outweighed the performance

How? If anything the result flattered Southampton who were let off 2 or 3 goals by us missing massive chances.

This false 9 shit is a waste of time. We don’t have a prime messi to play there Pep. We need a presence in and around the box with that goal scoring instinct (Aguero obvs) but since Kun can’t be trusted to play every week a striker is badly needed

Had (HAD) we taken those chances they'd have all be raving how good we were.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

We are great in the centre of defence.

I think we could go three at the back with Stones, Dias and Laporte.

Fuck the wingers off and let Cancelo and Walker loose and make it a five across the middle.

De Bruyne and then one of Foden or Bernie playing closer to the central striker.

Mahrez and Sterling to earn the right, otherwise if Sergio or Jesus ain't fit.

Dias has made a hell off a difference.
People use to say stone need a leader incharge for him to play well,
And Dias seems that guy with the leadership.
