The Southampton Thread!

Thought they were unlucky today both with the offside & the injury to Rodriguez - they were definitely causing City a few issues and had they got a better finisher than Lambert it might have been another story.

Hope they keep hold of their talent for another season or two, it's always disappointing seeing a smaller team getting ripped apart like the West Ham team that had Lampard, Cole, Ferdinand etc

They didn't get a single shot on target apart from the penalty. For all their possession in the first half, they were toothless.
We on the other hand missed a couple of sitters and their keeper made a couple of great saves. That fingertip save from Yaya was outstanding.
Another three points without getting into top gear. Hopefully we're saving that for next week.

you would...

Arsenal were unlucky when you beat them 5-1.

See we can all play that game.

Not really...As Stony pointed out, they were toothless - they play some nice stuff but they lack the incision a good striker gives them, hence my point about them having a better striker. Certainly gave me hope going into next weeks game, the city defence is definitely exploitable

What a load of shite, the only time they had a shot was from a soft penalty.

As is your morris dancing tribute act of a defence, in fact if it weren't for your tom daley front line who will proceed to fall over thin air and try and cheat your way to a win by Gerrard penalties I'd feel pretty confident myself, hoofing the ball over everyone's head for a goal kick isn't exploiting our defence.

I can't wait for Sergio to rip your lot a new one next weekend! - you think our defence is exploitable, you let 3 in against Cardiff!!

You'd be more confident if we swapped defences tho, I'm sure.

Yeh, we're by no means infallible - it's definitely our weakest point...but our strongest suit is going forward, we kind of ignore our defence these days...

We have conceded three goals throughout February / March and 1st week in April in the PL. The defence is pretty good thanks.
