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

I think we’re playing ok tbh, we’ll always look more open without Coady there but it’s definitely given us more options going forward with the extra man.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Alan Smith really does talk shit.

 

[prawnking]

4 shots on target is encouraging

 

[The Bear]

I'd say we look the team more in control and likely to create something, but the quality of chances is only low at the minute.

Another good save from Podence's header though.

Agree. Given the magnitude of the changes today, I think we've done pretty well, all things considered.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Neither team really doing anything. I’m Happy enough with how things are because there is a degree of intent in a new system. Not getting enough individually out the front 3 which is letting us down

Maybe, but I’ve just read Raul has only touched the ball 6 times so far.

 

[Carrotdude]

At least we’ve made McCarthy make a couple of saves

 

[Alan]

Maybe, but I’ve just read Raul has only touched the ball 6 times so far.

Was just about to say that the only thing that hasn't changed is how bad he's been.

Not sure what's up with him.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Front 3 haven't been great generally. Podence about the best.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Andre Marriner . Another feckless official

 

[PuntsWolf]

What is Traore doing . Still find it baffling that at times he can just look like he’s never played the game before.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

I am way behind guys so forgive me. How can they foul Traore everytime without a card, yet Neves makes a genuine attempt the get the ball and gets a yellow card

 

[prawnking]

Our counters are pretty poor now

 

[Templeton Peck]

Vestergaard on Traore was a booking earlier.

 

[Premier Quality]

Front 3 haven't been great generally. Podence about the best.

I had him down as the worst tbh - maybe behind moutinho.

he’s had a couple of headers but not achieved anything else.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Aside from the run that won us the free kick we nearly scored from?

 

[Loki]

Phew, half time. We`ll win now.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Somewhat disjointed from us, which isn't surprising given the changes

McCarthy has still been the busier keeper.

2 yellows for us in the last few minutes, but they are obviously taking it in turn on Traore as has been fouled almost every time he has the ball.

 

[AndyWolves]

Che Adams has influenced the game more than Raul
