Southampton (H) | PL | Post-Match Thread

Southampton are better than their league position suggests. They came and defended well but also tried to attack. Seen a lot worse go to Etihad and get something. They will go down playing like that though because they probably need to score 3 to win any game (usually).

This is getting a lot of stick but it’s not really far from the truth.. We have been poor, as we have been at this point for the last few seasons, obviously injuries playing its part this year but still we’re slow and not firing on all cylinders. But then again we’re sat top of the league for now and unbeaten so can’t complain too much regardless of what we know we can expect from this team. Personally I see it as we’re only gonna improve so take it as a positive but I can see why people get rattled cause we’re only a few different decisions and some wasted chances away from being behind the pack. One things for certain they’ll all be looking at us expecting a slip and these slim wins will be in their heads so god help them when we’re full strength and at full pace, that will crush them

We haven't been poor though have we? Poor was getting 2 points in the opening 11 games, not scoring a goal at home after new years day etc etc. We've been below par definitely but we are still top albeit with Liverpool having a tough game in hand. This was always going to be a tough start to the season considering when our players finished last season, compounded by losing KDB and Rodri. All things considered we've had a good start and given ourselves a great position to build from.

Taking today in isolation we could have easily won 5 nil on another day.
 
Im not sure ppl realize other teams dont face these deep blocks as often as us.

It isnt easy to break down.

Its boring, yes, because the opposition makes it boring. What can do we do about it? We have to try and find such small spaces by moving the ball side to side and look for them.

You’re right,but if we stop letting our defenders dictate the game they have the ball more than anyone,give it to the players who can effect the game the midfielders/wingers and be slightly more direct in our play instead of the safe option side to side and back,possession is great when used correctly,fortunate favours the brave ..
