Match Day Thread Southampton vs Tottenham 19/12/15 ko 3pm

We are all looking for reasons the entire team has fallen to pieces since the last international break but failing to see why
Has something happened behind the scene's that we don't know about? Soccer Saturday discussing possible breakdown between Les and RK but hope they are just guessing like the rest of us as to what is going on

 

I'd be less worried about a breakdown between Les and Koeman than a breakdown between Koeman and the business-side people. I don't think that his statements about our model came from nothing.

 

Nor can I. Norwich away after that doesn't look winnable either at the moment.

 

Wanyama looks exhausted

 

I agree. Something is going on

 

Six Pointer!

 

I think we have to put this into perspective. Everton who have looked so good for much of this season are only two points ahead of us, there is little between any of the teams.

The difference again (like the Villa and Palace games) has been taking the chances while keeping it tight at the back. Mane did not bury his early chance after a bright start, a goal then and the confidence would have been back. The game looked pretty even apart from that until we gave away two soft goals. The difference is our defence is constantly changing and is not settled compared to the Spurs defence - our midfield also gets bypassed far too easily.

Once we conceded we never looked like coming back.

 

Mark Mane out of the game and we won't score. Pretty simple for other teams

 

Tottenham also broke up the game when we were dominating by time wasting and it stopped the momentum.

 

We are going to get overtaken by Bournemouth soon. Really pissed off at how **** we are at the moment.

 

I really don't understand why Tadic was taken off.

 

Pelle doesn't look right with his dodgy knee.

 

He always starts brightly then disappears out of the game, strange.

 

Fine save.

 

Do you mean literally? As in subbed off? Or goes quiet? Or both?

 

Great save but should score. Great air shot by pelle

 

Nice shot from JWP, good save.

 

I don't understand half of what Koeman does these days.

 

Five out of six away wins today, shows that counter-attacking and staying solid is the way forward.

 

Well, if nothing else MotD looks like it could be a fun one, so long as I find something else to do during the highlights of this match.
