Southampton post match thread

[Walking on the blue moon]

I would share your sentiments, but we have reached the second leg of the SF without an away goal hampering us. Maybe, had we been 2 or 3 nil down after the first leg, the club may have thought differently.

Probably. Maybe the club knows about something we don't. Otherwise I can't see where the optimism of winning the CL comes from.

final 20 minutes, comes on and bangs 2 in to earn us a draw...

That would do.

I,m not optimistic we will win it, but seeing how far we have reached, I fully understand the club prioritising Wed. You just never know, we may pull a rabbit out of the hat.

I see the words 'the club' are now being used again.

As in 'the club' don't think these young players are ready to sit on the subs bench, from earlier in the season.

What an abysmal performance. Resting players is fine but that team Pellegrini sent out was atrocious. It's as if he literally just picked everybody that wouldn't be starting against Madrid and then worked out a formation afterwards and simply told them to go play with no clear instructions or gameplan. Thank god we only have to endure a few more weeks of him

If we lose next week, Pellegrini will have the best send off ever....40,000 empty seats. After our start this season it's criminal allowing it to get to this point

He don't give a flying fuck mate he's gone, and is not arsed about next season he did the same thing in the FA cup

I have had a day to calm down , but I still think changing 8 players is unforgivable ,rest a couple or so but not 8. My message to Pellegrini is this is my club you are watching over. You have disrespected the League my club and Southampton yesterday, I fact you wrote Koemans team talk for him.
He must have said City think we are so poor they can rest 8 against us,
Well that worked didn't it. I really fear we are going to drop out of the top four now.

So, if the rags win the FA Cup and get top four and we finish fifth, and go out in Madrid whose had the shit season?

If I've read that right, the Rags win the FA Cup, finish top four, we win the Carling Cup and finish 5th, but reach the CL quarter final? I'd say they've had the better season.

How many days do professional players need to recover properly from a game?

Totally agree all this resting players in fear of injury is insane at this time of the season. Play every game with the same importance as the next with few changes.
Deal with problems when they happen
