Southampton (H) | PL | Post-Match Thread

There is a reason why we play in this way. And it won't change soon either. Schedule is brutal.
This is exactly why we look like were in 2nd gear sometimes, as its just a way of reserving energy over the course of the season.

It's a method that's worked perfectly over the last few years, and it actually surprises me how many Blues can't seem to see that this is a part of our overall strategy.

Is it part of the strategy to balls up great goal scoring oportunities.
 
We were absolutely fuckin awful,piss poor and more boring than possible where pep got his saints were good shite from God knows they were worse! Garbage today, take the points and move on, Up the Blues
 
Credit to Southampton they made it really difficult, not only defensively but they kept the ball well n’all. They just had no creativity at al.

And neither did we! We are really lacking pure creative players. Some on that pitch today created nothing for a teammate. Some were an anonymous.

Dias, Akanji, Kovačić and especially Gvardiol played well. The rest were just a bit, don’t know the word to use… lacking?

But it’s 3 points. Nobody will remember the issues by next week.
Though Savinho had a decent game & there's not much more he can do if Haaland doesn't finish from a pinpoint cross.
Nunes had another good game, 1st half when he was getting the ball & looks to be settling in on the left wing

No but I imagine the target would be to score 'x' amount of goals over the course of the season, us missing chances isn't something new.

Top of the league and most goals scored kind of overrides your post.
 
How the hell did we end up hanging on for dear life at home against a relegation candidate? Wasn't as though we didn't have the chances.

Still it's 3 points, but we've not been convincing at all against these bottom half teams.
Hanging on for dear life? Seems a bit hyperbolic. We weren't great at attacking them though.

We got the win, as you say. I thought we were ok, just a few better finishes away from a standard 3-0.

Frustrating isn't it. Would you prefer to win 5-0 or be in for 5-in-a-row.

I understand it's part of the strategy, I am simply arguing that it is eminently easier to break down teams before they get 10 men in and around their box.

It is also eminently easier to conserve energy (by bringing off key players) at 3-0 than 1-0.
