Match Day Thread Southampton v West Ham United Saturday 6th February 2016 KO 17:30

Forster England's no1

 

Yes I agree!

 

So, Pelle's been pretty poor so far.

 

Just lost coverage in the pub! #dontwatchsaintswinninginabournenouthpub

 

Take this lead into the break boys.

 

Want another goal before Half time please.

 

I know the feeling. Couldn't even get on at start of match. Need some new cables?

 

I thought we were much better against Arsenal. Still, winning is winning.

 

Not great, but we're leading and keeping Payet under wraps for the moment. Giving them too much possession though. Really not sure what Graziano's offering today other than losing possession and fouling their players. Like to see Austin on sooner rather than later.

A word for Clattenburg - I really like how he's been calmly explaining his decisions to the penalised players (particularly Graziano). Good refereeing.

 

Crystal clear hd on kodi again

 

Team talk: Make sure someone is standing near Payet. Don't kick it at Antonio's head when he is lying in the 6 yard box. That's it.

 

West Ham have looked average, we haven't got out of second gear bar the first 15 minutes

 

Pelle almost sprun Long on that backheel. Other than that he's been quiet. Don't think I would say he's been poor but barring an injury to Long he seems the one who should come off for Austin.

 

Bit worried about the Carroll effect.

 

looking forward to the Austin effect!

 

Carroll is good with balls lumped up to him so shouldn't be effective in this weather... And we have the Austin effect!

 

I think we didn't want to repeat what happened at West Ham - so decided to let them dominate first half so we can have the second. It's only fair.

Oh, and on my stream, our twelfth man sounds like he fell asleep.

 

Pelle is keeping the two cbs busy. Which helps Long and Mane. The first half Antonio was basically a rb. Also this is his first proper game back after injury.

 

Well quite. Disagree with the weather thing, but agree with the Austin part!

 

With our wing backs marked out the game we are so short in midfield....three forwards is a luxury
RK sort please otherwise we will be over whelmed through the midfield
One of the forwards off (Pelle) and JWP down the centre of midfield ahead of DMs
