Southampton (A) | Pre-Match Thread

[kippaxchris]

-We don't score and miss unmissable chance, scored almost half the number of goals from the last season
-Looking much tighter defensively, but actually conceded only one goal less
-No counter-attacking, we don't do it and we forgot how to do it
-Playing totally different system and still Pep is tinkering with it like with a new toy
-Struggling massively against back five and wobble when pressed an pushed; and this lot are currently the most dynamic side in the league

[blue b4 the moon]

The state of us currently 0-0.

 

[Mancityus]

The state of us currently 0-0.

I agree Mahrez will return and we will be back to a level we were against rags.

We will not concede even if it means that we do not score, so 0-0.

Difficult to call this. Our defence is solid but our finishing is woeful. Can see this being 1-0 to the saints from a set piece. Be happy with a point though going on both teams current form.

 

[Bill Walker]

0-1 loss for us I think.
Penalty or free kick.

Just can't see us scoring.
A couple of misses by Sterling and FFS, and a few long-range shots Miles wide or over the bar kind of game.
12 corners and 70% posession though.

Won't be anything like 70%, Southampton will have their fair share, more like 50/50 which might suit us in a way because they wont sit 10 men behind the ball. No point in crossing the ball either with that 10ft beanpole they have.

100 % divided by 12 = 8.33333333

5 wins = 8.333333 x 5 = 41.6 % win rate

Yeah I know, just an attempt at gallows humour with the 70%

pep will go cautious again and we’ll be slow as fuck and bore the fuck out of everyone. 0-0.

Good point on the set piece. ward-prowse is lethal
