Match Day Thread Southampton Vs Leicester 1/12/21 19:30

I noticed he didn’t seem to want to blow for half time even as Leicester were moving backwards away from goal

 

HT …….and yes this ref is practically crap.

 

Vardy is clearly going to get away with everything until he challenges 2 footed at head height.

 

Really good half. There will be a reaction, so please, please, please can we for once not come out a different team second half.


Would be tempted to bring on Broja for Armstrong, who I think has been pretty poor.

Redmond channeling Messi today. Our best player.

 

Tella seems to be injured, so don’t expect to see him back out. Borja on ?

 

Can we PLEASE not fade to **** in the 2nd half?!!

 

Romeu and JWP seem to have remembered how to boss a midfield, which is a relief. Redmond excellent, Tella looking good, Salisu imperious, KWP and Tino adventurous.

McCarthy cost us the lead though, an awful parry.

 

8 fouls to 2. Saints are such a dirty team! Not. Get a grip ref.

 

Actually Schmeichel was just as much at fault for our first as Alex was for theirs.

 

Interesting that non saints fans aren’t actually criticising McCarthy for that parry

 

So few fouls because of the "advantages" we had. Chance for JWP to swing to ball into the box or Che to take on 2 players on his own. Hmmm.

Good call ref.

 

Solent didn’t seem to highlight him as at fault.

 

Everton are going to be the next to get battered by Liverpool.

 

He actually got lucky (but then unlucky) to me as it looked like his initial save would have been a similar weak parry. Then it bounced onto his foot and he kicked it out. But then it went to the wrong place

 

A good reaction after Saturday.

Not sure why Forster not getting a sniff at the moment. Seemed to play ok at the end of last season and done well in the cup games this season. I maybe missing something though

 

Both being right footers they are looking to do the same runs etc

 

Because he is not staying…

 

I fear Slowhammed Elyounoussi. What we don’t want to do is drop our pace up front. They can’t deal with it currently.

 

Really, I thought it was a pretty good save, don't think his defenders reacted

 

But we are still paying him, May as well play him.
