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

Granted we showed some battling qualities before the goal, but can anyone say they were really surprised when they saw the teamsheet?

 

[The Bear]

the problem with our three up top is that Neto is wide left and Traore wide right so the only possible interplay is Jose who has grown roots and can’t move. Get MGW in there so there is an option of linking up.

Give Jose a partner or someone closer to him centrally and maybe, just maybe we'll see something from him. You don't go from scoring 10+ goals in La Liga for the last few seasons to being shit for no reason. The reason is the formation and attacking attitude of this team. Nuno needs to fucking wake up and smell the coffee FFS.

Semedo - Coady - Saiss - Jonny

Donk/Joao - Neves

Traore - MGW - Neto

Jose

Shearer calling us “hopeless”, presumably because he’s not allowed to swear.

It makes me quite sad to say it, but I think I’m just about out of patience/credit with Nuno. Week after week after week we are being served up with this. That’s more than just a ‘rough patch’.

We look like conceding every single time they go forward and we never look like scoring. I’ve heard all the reasons/excuses and fair play to those of you that still think it can be turned around. I just don’t want to watch this kind of performance any more.

Nice of Traore and Semedo to stop tracking Armstrong for the goal too

To be fair Semedo had Armstrong and their no3 in front of him, he chose the wrong one to cover

 

[malta mick]

And as for fucking Redmond, we're making him look like Messi for fucks sake

 

[Freddeno]

4 at the back and go all in..please

 

[Wolvensam]

Agreed. Armstrong went past Traore and he just stopped running.

There is no intensity at all. Just boring.

Very clever block on Coady for their goal though

 

[Freddeno]

And as for fucking Redmond, we're making him look like Messi for fucks sake

we are backing off as normal..giving the man with the ball, 1-2 metres every fucking time..easy to pick a pass then

 

[sycophantia]

That goal is on Traore and Semedo and whichever midfielder was supposed to track Ings...great finish though. When we do get men forward our passing is so sloppy. Its not looking good

 

[prawnking]

4 at the back and go all in..please

And to think you got the piss taken out of you before the game for saying this

 

[Dire Wolf]

We are truly, truly awful. Would I be bothered if Nuno was to go? I don't think I would. Thanks for the great memories Nuno, but he clearly doesn't have the solutions he talks about week after week after week. The pattern is the same and has been for months. We are so lucky that there are 3 teams worse than us in terms of points because in all honesty I think we are the worst team I have watched in the league this season.

 

[Freddeno]

whatever if we concede a goal, was a great strike from Ings..if we score more goals we win..thats football

 

[Del Woppio]

I don't want to see Neto wide left again. It's wasting him completely. He's our best player, our only threat, and we need him either in a ten or on the other side cutting in. But certainly not just getting the ball wide, and being shepherded

 

[northfield wolf]

So, aftre this first half shite, who says relegation is not a possibility ? Nuno is going to have to give the teamtalk of his life.

 

[SSB]

And as for fucking Redmond, we're making him look like Messi for fucks sake

He looks more like Nuno to be fair.

would be very intreresting to see him as a 10, have been thinking about that

 

[jd1981]

14 PL games since scoring first, that in itself is a sad indictment in itself. Our record since if we lose today will read LLWLDLDLLDLWDL GF12 GA20
Afraid to say not managers survive runs like that

I was thinking this, I would move him to the right. Traore can't play on the left though, so not sure what we should do there.

 

[Nando]

And as for fucking Redmond, we're making him look like Messi for fucks sake

We've got quite the habit of doing that - he tore us apart at St Mary's two years ago. Their fans hate him too!
