Southampton (H) 23/11 Build-Up & Match Thread

[PuntsWolf]

Removing Donck from attacking positions and putting Podence there has made a massive difference

I wish we weren't so hit and hope with our crosses

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Neto has been the difference

 

[Templeton Peck]

Ref has been awful

 

[Deleted Cyber]

We have had 20 shots at goal and 9 on target. Better, eventually.

 

[Alan]

Given that we were without Coady for literally the first time ever, I'll take a point.

 

[Premier Quality]

Ref has been awful

Absolutely fucking awful.

 

[Carrotdude]

Well we created enough to win that but at the same time we should've been 2-0 down before we equalised so we have to take the point against a good Southampton side. Wonder if 4 at the back will stick around?

It was ten and four at halftime. So in that respect, nothing changed.

 

[Jinky]

9th.

Create like that every game and we will be fine. Must stop conceding sloppy goals though.

Three of those were in one passage after one minute but hey ho, you pick away.

I'm just giving you the stats. We created basically the same number of chances in each half. Yes, we were more in control of possession after Neto came on, but overall the difference in performance before and after halftime was negligible, IMO.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Given the disruption to the team with the change of formation I am not especially unhappy against a very decent team

Could have be better and also worse as far as the result goes.

xG was 1.97 - 1.00 in our favour for those who like that kind of thing.

Traore played really well in the last half an hour, fair play to him, looked more like the Traore of last year that I want to see! Wish he'd drive on goal more when he gets the chance though, always wants to head to the right and put a cross in.

If you don't think we were better in the second half I think you must have been watching a different game. We had far more control and but for a woeful bit of control from Raul could easily have won.

Ref has been awful

It can’t be the refs fault every game (etc)

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Ref booking Neves might have helped us as with him on a yellow it made sense to take him off and leave Moutinho on and he really played well in the last 20 minutes.

Walcott knows they were lucky to get a draw
