Match Day Thread FA Cup 4th Round Replay - Southampton vs Watford, Tuesday 6 Feb, 19.45

This is great to read. Love Russ!

 

See we are 80-1 for the cup still. Interesting. I no we play Liverpool and City are still in, but seems high odds

 

No pressure than Dibling. The comparison is a low bar

 

I went tonight and absolutely agree with the Dibling love. Mara was great second half but useless in the first! Meghoma
Was great also. SAA should have scored but also runs impressively with the ball. We are real team of technicians.

I thought the ref had a shocker. We had players getting absolutely twatted all second half!

 

Superb result that considering the gulf in experience in the starting line ups.

Great to see squad players strengthening in time for the run in.

Relieved Armstrong didn't get a red card.

Fixed that for you.

 

Anyone who went last night, how did Charles look at RB?

 

Pretty solid. Really good run to break through in second half before awful ref failed to give the foul on him.

 

Agree that Dibling had a very good game. I was most impressed with Meghoma. In my view he is KWP MKII in the making. Technically very good, used his body extremely well to buy time on the ball, has pace, an excellent touch, and reads the game so well.

The other big positive I saw was that it’s very clear our youngsters are training with the first team, and cognitively switched on. They were all on the same page, and seamlessly slotted in. That’s no mean feat for RM to acheive, so credit to him and his coaching staff.

 

I was impressed given it's not his natural position. More than held his own.

 

I didn't think we gave any opportunities to youngsters though and they should all leave to get game time for PL clubs.

 

Seems low to me. Been 43 years since a second tier side last won it and we're away to one of the top sides in the country next time out where we'll most likely get humped.

 

Honestly, although it could happen, I don't think they'll thump us at all. It helps us that they play the League Cup Final just a few days before our game. We're at home to Millwall on the Saturday before the game. I really hope Martin goes full strength up there - I genuinely think we have a chance if he does.

 

Totally agree - this lad doesn’t put a foot wrong- supremely competent and able

 

Oh and it will be a warm reunion with VAR.

 

Tactical ability, sense of humour, beautiful hair and a firm hand. Be still my beating heart ❤️

 

Looking forward to another 9-0 then

Disagree, I think there's a very good chance they hammer us. They'll be wanting to win this trophy and their squad players are still far better than our first team players.

Think people are overrating us slightly. We're a very good championship side. That doesn't mean we're suddenly going to be going to Anfield and dominating possession and creating loads of chances.

Which is the reason I'm not arsed in the slightest. Think I'll wash my hair that night.
