Time for the Shane Long late goal video against Liverpool... ... but can he do it on a damp Wednesday night in South London??
I had the same hourly yesterday, so I put Benteke in my Fantasy team. Should do the trick. Imagine he’ll do nothing and get subbed off at 59 mins now
Well we certainly need it, just seen the BBC website build up on the match and saw the following. Good job I've been a Saints fan since 1956/7!! One learns!! Saints have let in a league-high 73 goals in 2021. The most conceded in a calendar year in the Premier League is 79 by Ipswich Town in 1994. Southampton have lost 15 of their past 19 Premier League away games, conceding 50 goals. They are the first team to let in 50 top-flight away goals in a calendar year since West Bromwich Albion and Watford did so in 1985. Ralph Hasenhuttl's side have gone seven league matches without scoring in the second half. Saints have dropped 14 points from winning positions this season - only Leeds, with 15 points, have fared worse in the Premier League What it fails to mention is how remarkable we Saints fans are and remain so. COYR!!!!
I keep forgetting we have a game tonight and then I remember and dread washes over me once again. A terrible performance and undeserved win would be nice, obviously a comfortable win would be better but pigs can’t fly.
We’ll go 0-1 up early, have ample opportunities to score more before half time. Then concede a late equaliser all the whole ruing our “bad luck”. I hope I’m wrong.
50 goals conceded in our last 15 away games is absolutely pathetic. Average of more than 3 a match ffs. Need a strong performance tonight. Would defo take a point. UTFS.
And, it should be noted, Ralph's trying something a bit different. Looks like a 4-3-3. Although it could be the usual 4-2-2-2 as well.
