Match Day Thread Bompey vs Saintsy Saints - Weds 19th October - 7.30pm (Amazon Prime)

Good to see the subs come on and keep possession and nullify the opposition.

 

Seen a few comments saying Bompey were sh*t, but from what I saw (on a dodgy stream with no sound), they totally dominated us. it was only their finishing that let them down.

Anyway, f*cking get in!! That was so tense.

Caleta-Car is like a handsome Jos Hooiveld. Good to see him and AMN seemingly improving every game.

 

Another Sunday please (for us, before someone says).

 

I know bringing on an extra CB on 60 minutes is a fairly negative thing to do, but considering how desperate we are to get a win, I can understand why Ralph did it.

 

It's the win! And being above three teams that we lost too earlier this season with disastrous performances just makes it even better!!

 

It worked. At least he did something this time. They were all over us at that point.

Thought Bazunu was class today, good to see. Diallo also played really well in his cameo

 

I don't give a **** about the manner of the result to be honest. It's points which matter. We desperately desperately needed that.

 

Do we lose AMN for Sunday? Edit; yes on loan. Shame. Had a much better game; seems to be improving game by game.

 

Yeah made some cracking saves, confident catches (apart from one at the end), and his distribution is great at times.

 

That was good and also frustrating as it showed that we can still do it, if we get players closer to each other, as we used to do when high pressing.
Three good points but Bompey will be ruing the missed chances.
As a side note I am sure that when Ralph was sending Stuart on I lip read Stuart asking him “Where?”. I think he might have been wondering if he was going to be right back.

 

He came on just before KWP went down I think

 

I must admit I expected us to concede in spite of the change.

Hopefully this result will give the team some belief.

 

Yay! The Milky Bars are on me.

 

I would assume see o but if Lavia is available it might be OK.

 

@Lambertissier

 

Ralph said Lavia was due back in full training this week so am assuming its still too early.

 

I thought he came on as his replacement?

Edit from BBC

1. 66'
   Substitution
   Substitution, Southampton. Stuart Armstrong replaces Kyle Walker-Peters because of an injury.
   

 

A few comments if I may. Always been a huge Ralph fan until the ****e this season. Would have been happy to seen him replaced given start to season. Tonight was impressive. Che was a complete monster. AA worked nuts off. RH let him self down by taking AA off, bad move but worked out for him. Now 14th, a fickle league. If we continue to play like that tonight and finish 14th do we still want Ralph out. # compete ****ing enigma

 

think you’re right actually, was Lyanco sub just before

 

Whoopeee!!!, The Gooners are going to get a full dose of Alan Partridge!...
