Southampton (H) Post-Match Thread

spot on exactly

some other people already coming out with the excuses for next week like bent decisons and refs next weekend! - pathetic

If we play liewe did today we could lose...play to our very best and we could easily win

Was it lee mason? Full investigation needs carrying out into his actions today, total cheat and let his mask slip today.

On the performance, feeling euphoric right now but could have been so very different. First 70 mins we were not getting the passes right, losing second balls and lumping crosses on aimlessly. Fair play to Southampton they did what we couldn't and then tried to hang on. They actually looked ok going forward too.

Thankfully we did it, and didn't lose our composure, reminded me a little of champions league games where we lost the plot in season past.

But mason needs investigating, that was just such an obvious difference in treatment to one team than the other, needs hauling up on it and roasting as a warning to other officials.
He would look good on a spit roast the fat fucker
 
Fantastic result for us today, the games like this where you don't play your best but still win the games are what wins leagues.

Forget about the dippers, we can't do anything about their results other than win the two games we play against them. Sure we could have been 3 points behind them but could also easily have been 9 behind them as well.
 
Massive 3 points, will be mean a lot come the Christmas congestion.

By Feb I'm confident we'll be the league leaders.
 
The 3 points is ultimately all that matters today and there didn’t appear to be any obvious injuries so job done In that respect but I think there’s legitimate concerns about our attack as much as there is about our defence at the minute.

It seems like we’re playing games as if they’re repetitive training drills, there only ever seems to be one plan for attack and that’s to pass the ball side to side until we work our way up the pitch and then look for that underlapping 8 run into the edge of the box on the blind side of the fullback and look for a cutback from there. That’s something that simply doesn’t work when the opponents play with all 10 men behind the ball and in a narrow formation effectively giving up the wings knowing they’re going to be favourites to win a cross with a minimum of 5-6 giants in the box against 1-2 midgets for us.

We’ve got other weapons in the squad we need to come up with other variations to our play against defences like that to avoid similar games. it was the same against wolves and the same for 45 minutes against Villa too. Ordinarily, you can say we ground out the win when not playing well and look at that as a positive but I don’t think we necessarily wore them down today nor was we particularly poor in our play, we just failed to change our approach which they nullified comfortably. Going to have to be a hell of a lot better next week to take anything,
 
Finally got it done after much huffing and puffing. Sterling was really poor today , the worst amongst a lot of average performances . But fucking hell corners? What the fuck is the point? Surely pep can come up with something better than what the teams producing. Never look like scoring from them and when we concede a corner we look really vunerable. Need to do much better next weekend.

We have to be one of the worst teams when it comes to corners, better off just letting them take a goal kick

He did exactly what was expected of him by his masters, do not expect him to get hauled over the coals
