Match Day Thread Southampton vs West Ham United Boxing day 3pm.

System looks like it needs a proper left footed left wing back. I guess our current two left backs are not considered up to it

We are giving away a lot of fouls

 

8 fouls to 3. We are Robust Saints!

 

Am I the only one who thinks Downes might be a casualty of this manager change. Not sure he fits the planned new style. He seems too keen to pick the simple and safe option

 

Sounds good to me. Be complicated and risky in their half.

 

This is so much better.

 

God I like this football stuff

 

Wtf has Bowen done to his teeth? He looks like he swallowed a flashlight.

 

I love Tall Paul, must be an absolute bastard to play against.

 

Tall Paul is some player

 

Has to score again

 

He has to score

 

Is Onuachu going to get the Crouch treatment from refs? Where he is so tall opponents can basically wrestle him full on and pull the shirt of his back and nothing is given but he can breathe in someone’s direction they tumble over and a foul is instantly given

System definitely seems to need a striker like him - and probably another in the squad since he can’t play every minute. So there probably is a role for Stewart if he is ever fit again.

Needs to make the keeper work more than he just did for that header though. Centre of the goal! Aim for the corners

 

Doing everything but putting the ball in the net

 

Onuachu - Link play 10/10
Finishing 1/10

 

My favourite half since the first one against Newcastle.

 

Another good chance Paul

 

Yeah about that high risk high reward stuff Russ...

 

Proper Emile Heskey stuff. Just need someone up with him to score the goals. But picked Armstrong

 

Stick a capable finisher in this side and it would probably stay up.

(With a full season )

 

I think when he gets one, he will go on. A hella of a run
