Match Day Thread Southampton v Liverpool - Sun 24th 1400

My Scouse supporting mate is whinging about the penalty. They’re so bloody tiresome.

 

Ref has been excellent BTW. Glad VAR didn't overturn our pen as was far too close to overturn. Looked on the line anyway.

 

Loving Paul Fun-uachu up front today!

 

I think you’re doing Tyler a disservice there. He drew the tackle then nicked the ball away.

 

Nunez diving and lying holding nis face for a good minute in an attempt to get Stephens sent off will not get the traction BBD got, despite how obviously pathetic it was.

 

Pundits all think Lallana should’ve been sent off, think I agree with them

 

Sorry if mentioned before but there ain't another team in the world that concedes that goal.

 

I was expecting VAR to have a longer look at that TBH.

 

You’ve not seen my Monday night 6-a-side team in action then….

 

Yeah but VVD ran the ball out then lost it on half way. That was cocky and he got punished. Dibling was great but Liverpool got complacent and paid for it.

 

We’d stay up with a competent manager imo

 

Rode our luck a bit but deserve to be level I think. Needed that goal before HT and brilliant from Tyler. I hate VAR so much.

But it has to be said. How ****ing infuriating is it to watch us continually play our ourselves into trouble in our own box. We did multiple times in that half and there's only so many times you'll get away with it. Not a person in the country who won't be surprised that that's where their goal come from.

Paul has been excellent. His run towards the end of the half really got the crowd going. Tyler has looked really bright too.

Downes looked okay at CB, a few shaky moments but generally okay. Not going to blame him for the goal as it's on the manager.

Obviously scored the pen but don't think Armstrong has offered much. Fraser clearly not a WB.

I'd like to see Archer on for Arma fairly early in second half. We need to target that left hand side with both Bradley and Konate on bookings.

 

I'm 100% convinced after seeing that 1st half performance which has included Ryan Fraser "the Sunday league player" that Saints under any other manager apart that clown RM would not be in the relegation zone. We conceded a goal playing suicide football and continued still to do so, barely getting away with it only minutes later. Does RM never ever ever ****ing learn with his tactics? Has Lucy banged his brains out???

 

Well at least we were awarded one of them

 

Oh and I've got a plastic Liverpool fan stood next to me in the Northam. From ****ing Gosport as well.

Really really really hope we can win this.

 

Why does our best striker:

1) never play
2) never gets crossed to?

Bizarre club

 

I have been banging on about Tall Paul since August. One swallow doesn't make a summer, but he clearly has something to offer. What is Saintsy is to give him a run, he does wetland we sell him Jan.

 

So glad the club restricted general sale to stop his from happening ...

 

Sulemana to come on and score two like when we last played them?

 

Shout out to Alex too. All saves were ones he should make but looks composed and dealt with everything well.
