Match Day Thread Southampton vs Arsenal Sunday 25th May 4pm

We like conceding close to half time

 

That such a shame. Such poor defending to concede just before halftime

 

Sully

 

HT 0-1

Sulemans misses

 

If only Sulemana had end product.

 

Doing alright.

Stewart and Fernandes the positives.

Robinson has no strength. Needs to get in the gym for a year.

 

Sorry but he's still terrible. Runs into blind alleys and has the football intelligence of a ****ing fence post.

 

I am going to defend him a bit here. He gets loads of stick but he has worked hard as a outlet the last few months but is so isolated.

 

But there's no support even if he wants to pass so ends up in alleys or backwards.

 

Oh I know. He’s a bit ****. He is entertaining though.

 

I can see a similarity between Robinson and JWP…….he keeps checking his hair.

 

Was enjoying that until I said to Mrs OSS, It’s about this time in the match that we go 1 down. Ten seconds later, Boom. Me and my big mouth. Good match up until that point. Nice to see a team that passes forward as often as they can. Stewart and Robinson being knocked off the ball too easily.

 

Overall think we've played pretty well. Arsenal are pretty dull to watch and look miles away from a title winning side. Everything bar the goal was played in front of us.

Who had the header? Horrific miss that tbh.

Loads of plastic Gooners in the Northam. Quite a few kicked out but also a couple being completely ignored weirdly.

If Southampton score, we're on the pitch

 

Would love to see that handball again. I'm convinced that's a pen at the other end of the pitch. We did OK 1st half. Ref **** as usual

 

There's definitely been occasions like that but often there's a pass on early but he doesn't see it and then gets closed down which leads him to those alleys.

Yeah he's having an impact on the game when he gets on the ball for sure purely due to his pace. He's an awful footballer though.

 

His upper arm was against his body and his lower arm was at maybe 2 o clock on the clock.
I can understand it not being given and the commentary said “it would have been harsh”, but I am kind of thinking that the same commentary team would have thought it a penalty at the other end because that’s how things operate in the Premier League.

 

Also said it flicked off his chest/stomach which apparently means it can’t be handball if it comes off another body part

 

I didn’t see that tbh.

 

Thought they binned that rule off?

Too far for me to see it properly really. Sugawara hit it extremely well though, could have been his Cuco Martina moment.

 

There’s always a moment where you want him to knock it past the next guy too and sprint past, but he very often doesn’t do that.
