Saints (A) Post Match Thread

Thought on the balance of play they deserved a point. We had the better chances but they created some good moments and pushed us onto the back foot for alot of the game.
Our best chances came on the counter.
They lost they're best Striker during a period when they were on top.
A different ref/var might have given them a pen.
Nice to get a scrappy win for once.

I get your drift,but I doubt spuds fans would say the same or Leicester after playing us,
I wouldn't say they were on top,on my stream they stated we had most possion in the first half,second half they had 20mins then probably evens,
As for var my stream froze for about 5mins,so didn't no if the went back to check or not,but stream back up and running still 0-1.
Also like what their manager said after the game finished..

I'm expecting to make more than 1 substitution in a match occasionally.
Foden was waiting to come on but didn't.
Then Ake stripped off and stood on the sideline and didn't come on
Whats that all about.
Mahrez was the only substitution today

There seemed to be some dispute between Pep and the man who isn't Arteta as the latter was showing Ake his holiday snaps from the Costa Brava.

Correct, Ederson had virtually nothing to do.

 

[kippax4ever]

Nonsense. Rodri was solid but almost exclusively passed backwards. Gundog was excellent and brought the save of the day from their keeper.

They targeted Rodri early doors,but he didn't flap so fair play to him,

Ake was being prepared to replace Walker who was down injured getting treatment to his ankle. When you see how poorly the Soton subs performed, Pep was right to keep him on. The pitch was skiddy and not easy to settle on.

At least you don’t have to worry about that any more!

Sad but true

 

[Mike Cledford]

I dont know if anyone has mentioned it but the commentators missed it. The pass hit by KDB with the outside of his boot across the width of the pitch right to the feet of Mahrez.
Glorious ball but unfortunately to the feet of Mahrez. The sublime to the ridiculous.

 

[Cornish_Blue]

In what universe do we not deserve the win, should have been 5-0 at then end.

Yes we should have, but we weren’t, same as the previous matches. We are diabolical in front of goal, it’s like we are scared to score.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Apparently teams getting 100 points in a season "doesn't happen that often"

Correction Mister Drury, it has happened only once in the Premier League and we fucking did it.

Talk about trying to smear an achievement.

Couldn't believe that on the Amazon commentary, the twat was positively gutted by us scoring.

Not yet firing but nevertheless, 3 points. Clean sheet. Raz on the scoresheet. Stones<>Diaz looking promising. Hopefully confidence building across the group.
