Southampton (H) | PL | Post-Match Thread

[Manc Born & Bred]

Today Brentford scored an injury time winner, Bournemouth and Wolves both scored injury time equalisers, that what teams set up to do against us. Stay in the game and then in the last few minutes try and nick something. If they concede another whilst trying to equalise they will accept as one of those things. But Southampton, whilst having plenty of possession against us, 42%, only managed two shots on target both in the second half. They had no idea what to do once they crossed halfway. Better watching them rather than Arse but we could have done with a second to really kill them off. But unbeaten, a clean sheet at last in the league and another three points.

What do you think may happen? Just De Bruyne, Rodri, Doku, Grealish, Walker and Bobb missing as options??

Clean sheet. I’ll take it

What's the fuss about clean sheets? 4-1 wouldn't have been a clean sheet but would have been less stressful and better for the GD.

 

[Mr Partridge]

At least the clocks didn't go back this afternoon.

Couldn't have sat through an extra hour of that.

 

[standupifyouhatemanu]

We never drew them out though until the last 10 when they were looking for equaliser

That was all down to them, actually 84 mins the double sub and them getting nosebleeds over the half way line

 

[East Level 2]

Absolutely, I have zero complaints about today.

Did you pay good money to travel to the ground and watch the game?

 

[SK14BLUE]

Need a striker back up desperately

 

[MCFC1993]

Yes they were, their left back crossed the entire pitch to get off instead of taking the short way out, Downes had several miraculous recoveries before going off, Ramsdale being down for 2 minutes for whatever the fuck, if you think being content with a 1-0 loss is decent well that's your opinion but I don't think so.

Not content with the loss but the performance was better than a lot of teams we've faced here.

 

[calumdown]

So poor then.
Halland wasn't right today - puffing like a steam engine with a boiler problem after 80 mins. Should have been subbed.

opinions are all good and well,
but at least make the effort to spell his name correctly.

Well said. Some folk just love to moan

We need them back sharpish.

We won’t get away with nonsense performances in our next 2 league aways.

We have to buy a striker in January. We can't go all season with just Haaland. It's not fair on him. And if we don't do that, we won't win the title.

I'll takes points over a performance after a mid -week Champions League game

We're scraping PL home and away wins. It can't continue. It won't continue.

 

[give it to gordon]

Time wasting at 1 nil down with 30 mins to go :D

Bizarre wasn't it

Agreed mate but the lads are well under the cosh currently and we have no god giving right to win 5-0 every week?

 

[Vic]

Saints were very good at Pepball coming out of defence but no better than us near goal. And we didn't try the press baiting.

At least we gave them less time on the ball second half but that was riskier. Risk means the risk of losing possession, and at one up, do you take the risk?

Boring but safer? And champions again...

 

[East Level 2]

Pisses me off that manager after manager come to us and say what a great job they've done. Yet they head home with no points. Total anti football.

Good result if they stay up on goal difference. Even our local pondlife put three past them.

Agreed mate.

 

[give it to gordon]
