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

[slink]

Don't really care what formation we play now, i just want to see some cohesive attacking play. I want to see us get the best out of players so we can stop all the he's shit, he's not shit stuff because every player we have is more than capable of contributing something but they aren't able to at the moment.

------------------------Patricio-----------------------

---------Hoever---------Coady------Saiss----------

Semedo-----Vitinha-------Neves----Gibbs-White----Jonny

--------------------Silva-------José-------------------------

Other than the defensive personnel, this is exactly what I suggested for last night's game. 3 at the back, Neves/Vitinha/MGW in midfield, and Silva/Jose up front. MGW would play a bit further forwards nearer a #10 position though.

I too don't want to see Traore starting, and like you say Neto could do with a rest any way even though he got one last night. May as well see if Jose/Silva can play together too while it doesn't matter results wise. Neto can come in for Silva if not.

Well, after last nights abysmal showing, and Nuno treating it as a hinderance game, he has really put himself under pressure for this one on Sunday. Lose this and i think the Vultures may start hovering.

DW's team for me too. Hoever can't cross for shit. But I think he would make an excellent RB.
Whatever happens they need to put in a decent performance, or the noises will keep on getting louder.

Einsteins' definition of insanity. keep doing the same thing and expect a different result ! .. so 3 at the back shall we?​

I agree with Punts mantra that it's 'how we play' that's important, but I don't think that's divorced from the importance of our set up.

When we play 3 at the back this season we always end up going back to default with one spare, useless CH like Kilman having loads of the ball, the front three all isolated and midfield two too far back.

4 at the back for me for the rest of the season, don't care if it's Coady and Saiss

DW team is Meh. It’s got no height and is one paced. Again plays MGW out of position. May as well go with this
Rui
Semedo Coady Saiss Jonny
Dendonker Vitinha Neves
Neto
Silva Wj

And keep the ball on the fucking ground
Still no height but a formation that encourages some attacking. I resisted otasowie as it’s just not happening

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Otasowie
Otasowie Otasowie Otasowie Otasowie
Otasowie Otasowie Otasowie Otasowie
Otasowie Otasowie

I personally think a 4-4-2 with a team full of Otasowie's will actually see us right. Sort it Nuno.

There is.a terrace chant there somewhere

 

[Freddeno]

Would prefer a four at the back, could be with silva and Jose up top..just wanna see some positive football this time and higher pressure AND intesity, relase the ball sooner, fewer touches on the ball..skip the short corners, Neto on the corners and freekicks..

Well, the Sky sports news pundits of Redknapp, Stelling, and Merson have pulled us to pieces on our goalscoring attemps in the last few games. I wish i could say they were wrong, but they arent. I hope we stuff Southampton, to ram it down their throats, but i am asking too much arent i ?

I think we are all asking. It's whether the team are actually willing to do so.

Yes you are.

 

[redvictor]

If you look at this game we should have a great chance of winning. We know how they play full strength, and we should be able to negate them and play to our strengths. Of course i'm assuming we have the nouse to do so....

 

[AndyWolves]

From a stats based xG and xA perspective I'd have a team which includes Neto, Adama, Silva and Dendoncker.

 

[Mild 'n' Scratchins]

If Nuno's into experimenting, which he obviously is given all the tinkering this season, then I'll give him a team that is experimental but has legs, literally:
--------------Rui-------------------
Semedo--Dendonker--Saiss--Jonny
----------Neves---Otosowie-------
--------------Vitinha---------------
---Adama----Jose-------Neto----

Apart from Donk and Vitinha (I'd rather have Boly and Podence respectvely if fit) that's the team I'd like to see given a run of games, especially as the consensus is we aint going down.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

TWF should definitely sponsor Owen Otasowie in the programme next season, he has a hell of a lot of fans.

 

[lemonjelly]

to be fair DW there's been a few Otasawies this season. The clamour for Cutrone a few weeks ago was ridiculous. 80% of people seemed to want him to start for a while. There was similar for Jose too. Lots of peeps seem big Podence fans too whilst he's out the team. Less so when he's played mind.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

We won’t win this unless we totally go for it in a way not seen this season . 2 0 saints again

Because Fabio was so shit up top. I would have had gladen or Mir or Paul mcgloughlin in place of Fabio

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Don't. Talk. Shit.

Based on the last two games he isn't even the worst striker we have available.
