Southampton (H) | Post-Match Thread

Yes we scored 5.

Yes their goals were basically flukes.

Yes Moss is a **** and should have given Foden a penalty.

But that game felt weird, didn't feel like the players were playing our normal game.

Maybe the heavy rotation is causing some issues, but whatever it is, hopefully we get back to our selves a little bit more. Happy for the win, carry on.
 
Not sure what to make of that. Some good passages of play but periods when we were really poor. Credit to Southampton, thought they played really well. Kdb better but still short of usual standard. Walker poor especially 1st half. Laporte poor as well. Fern looked really slow tonight and passing was off. Foden and gundogen superb. Right now to the ref- what a twat, gave us nothing all night backed up by VAR. pleased souness called it out for what it was at half time. Commentary a disgrace, it was like the Tyler and hinchcliffe show - oh you could have done that Andy, oh no Martin I wasn’t very good, don’t be so modest Andy. Fuck off, his summarising was pathetic and the twat should be sacked.
 
We’ve looked a bit off the pace and disjointed last few games but doesn’t help when the officials are that bad, gave us fuck all, and penalties, like someone once said , “with some teams they look for a reason to give them, with others , they look for a reason not to”, think it’s confirmed we’re in the category marked “others” !
 
I don't know if it's a sign of how good we are, how bad Southampton are, or just a weird day, but we've won that at a bit of a canter, scored 5, had a truly ridiculously bent refereeing performance, yet genuinely think that was our worst performance in a long time. Seriously disjointed, massive gaps in midfield, horrible passing for the first half hour, but whenever we managed to string 5 passes together we looked like we'd score (and frequently did). Really weird game.

3 points is the important thing, one more win closer to the title. Need to regain our sharpness ahead of the CL games though because if we play like we did in the first half hour against a top side, the tie would probably be over.
 
Looked nervous first 10 minutes.

Than grew into the game, good solid performance KDB getting up to speed :) Phil everywhere, Bernie not his best , seems to did to play more regularly.

Southampton gave us a good game.

VAR well can just fuck off it has to be bent the keeper lunges in takes out Phil's standing foot.

Phil just said it was a penalty.

ffs brilliant
 
Massive 3 points, put the derby behind us, back to winning ways, pressure on the Rags now knowing they need a result on Sunday against a decent West Ham side

side note, a little concerning that conceding has started to creep back in to our game, is that 4 without a clean sheet now
