Southampton (A) Premier League Match Build Up/Match Day Thread

[Premier Quality]

press as a team, not one at a time ffs

This, hunt in packs

 

[Freddeno]

Can someone provide a stat of when we last had a shot on target in the PL please?

must get a better stat if we focus more on attacking them..most threats from us comes from corners...yeah, not even freekicks

 

[Pablowolf]

Fuck me we're sloppy.

 

[Derby Wolf]

He’s not a defender, he doesn’t have the instincts.

Given I’m pretty sure most of his passes go backwards to Coady as well, I’m not sure what the point of him being there is.

Watching him it is a little Bennet-esque he always went safe to Coady too. He was able to defend but you could see his nervousness distribution wise.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Which is the MGW or Otasowie argument. They may not be the second coming but how many games do we need to see this isn't working And isn't going to change.

Careful that’s heracy

 

[Templeton Peck]

Crap. They're pressing well and always have 2 on Neto and Traore. We're not moving the ball quickly enough to take advantage.

 

[Carrotdude]

This is awful. Think I’m done. I don’t think Nuno has the ability to make us any better at this point.

 

[Freddeno]

It's just too easy for Southampton. We are constantly giving the ball away. Absolutely awful.

we have many internationals, first thing in my football school at 5 years old i would be teached how to pass the ball..

 

[prawnking]

Wish Neto would get his head up

 

[jd1981]

Neves and Moutihno are offering zero control in midfield l

 

[Jinky]

For me, the perfect example of where we are right now was just then. 4-5 players running forward with space on the left - first instinct is to pass it backwards (Neto this time and he’s our most attacking player!) and before you know it, it’s back with Coady on the half way line.

We haven’t got a clue how to attack and we haven’t got a clue how to defend. What the hell is wrong with us? What are they doing in training all week?

 

[Templeton Peck]

Careful that’s heracy

Otasowie changed the game against Chelsea. The one time he was played in the right position.

 

[prawnking]

Am I allowed to say Jonny has been ropey too?

 

[NicholasG1973]

It’s incredible.

Just as I thought it was totally impossible to get any worse.

We get worse.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

This is better than Thursday Tbf . Since the goal we stopped getting the midfield forward

 

[jd1981]

Am I allowed to say Jonny has been ropey too?

You can but I don’t agree

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Otasowie changed the game against Chelsea. The one time he was played in the right position.

I completely agree but get pellets every time I suggest it.

 

[Nando]

Am I allowed to say Jonny has been ropey too?

Absolutely - but then that is to be expected. At least he's putting himself about a bit.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Passing it around us in and on the edge of their 18 year old box like prime Barcelona.

This is hideous.

I'm sure ill get accused of wanting Owen Coyle in, but this is on Nuno. He instils the mentality and shape and picks the personnel.

He hasn't learned any lessons from this season, we're just crossing our fingers he has an epiphany after he goes on his family hols
