Southampton (A) - Post Match Thread

[eyalluvitt]

I'd take any reasonable offer for Sterling and Jesus if we used it to provide someone who can score goals.

He was awesome last week, terrible today.

Fuck sake mate we're top of the league and we've just won 12 on the trot. Chin up, eh?

Couldn't give a fuck mate. If we played how we normally play & got beat, you'd never hear a negative word from me, but that first half, especially the first 20 minutes was the most languid pile of shit from us since the Palace defeat, where incidentally we started exactly the same!

Please explain the walking football in the first 20 minutes to me? If that's not underestimating an opponent, or not appreciating how important these dropped points could be, then I don't know what is. It should be fresh in everyone's minds that 3-4 years ago, it was the Dippers who were 12 points ahead of us & were celebrating being Champions, & we know how that ended. :-(

Why,sounds a bit entitled,all teams drop points against mid table teams like Southampton and Wolves. As will liverpool. Maybe even tomorrow. We drop less than others which is why we are clear at the top.

Definitely not entitled mate but we just seemed to lack a level of professionalism and quality tonight?

We drop points so the RAZ bashing comes back into play. WHY

not at all

its a shocking miss that world class teams don't do ? the keeper is on his arse and 4 yards out open goal and sterling hits it at the keeper ?? sorry if sterling bashing is not aloud after that miss then what is (SHOCKING) miss

He is not good enough
He is not game changer
He slows down our intensity and attack
His is predictable one on one

Grealish was excellent

Possibly still adapting and will come good next season - like most of peps signings. Not having too shabby a season considering we are carrying such a shit player.

He constantly turned and ran at the defence in the first half. If anything he wants to play faster and is clearly told not to.

We drop points so the RAZ bashing comes back into play. WHY

Because he was poor and yet again missed a chance a blind man would score.

 

[argyle]

Seems to have stood still a bit this season.

He’s also got into a bad habit of shutting his eyes and moving his head (and therefore shoulders and upper back) away from where it should be when passing, crossing and shooting.

Feels like he needs to work harder at his technique with the last thing he does.

Yep, he's not kicked on this season like I thought he would.

He no longer takes on defenders and skips passes them, he just lays the ball off to Grealish or Rodri.

Though Sterling should have buried the ball he gave him.

Some absolute whoppers on this thread tonight….check the post count

and we drew, away, to stretch our lead at the top. Must hurt worthless!

Like I said earlier, very happy w the point after that 1st half. The thing is, I know Grealish is a very good player, which make his performances @ City frustrating as fuck for me. Is it because we don't have an out-and-out striker, I mean he seemed to work very well with Watkins at Villa? Right, back to my armchair it is, then!
