Match Day Thread Bournemouth v Southampton, Sunday 18 December, KO 1:30pm

[Beef]

Stupid by Boufal. Needs to cut tbat out his game.

Boufal needs to get that out of his game, pronto!

 

[st_brendy]

I wonder if Boufal would have tried to stay up there, if he had (rightly) already been on a yellow.

 

[Clem Fandango]

Boufal is a bit cheaty

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Clasie has been classy.

 

[Bill Hill]

We don't get bodies onto the box when we attack the commentators say it every game and they are spot on the midfield doesn't commit - that has to be puel and his conservative approach

You'd never find a good British player of fine stock doing that. Someone like Ward-Prowse.

Oh....

He's been very good just recently. Hopefully Puel will start him a bit more now.

No, it's having no forward thinking centre mids.

He is. Someone needs to have a word. He's good enough that he doesn't need that in his game.

Maybe. I'm sure Davis used to get forward more though.

 

[Beef]

Rodriguez needed to help him there instead of running 30yds up the pitch.

 

[st_brendy]

PEH aside, I don't think we're playing badly at all. It's just as the commentators are saying (and as we all know), there's next to no options in and around the box.

I sort of agree and I am always banging on about needing new players but it is ALSO the managers approach a more attack minded manager can train midfielders to get into the box though his tactics

A little, but we have had this problem for a few seasons now.

 

[Puck]

Bertrand's enjoying his interactions with the crowd.

At least he's working hard and giving it a go. It just isn't clicking for him today. Reed had a dodgy start to the game. They're both young and need time.

Did Jay hurt himself there?

 

[Saintmagic]

Yoshida our best player so far

 

[sotonsaint]

Jay for long at ht sorry but he's just had it now
