Match Day Thread Southampton vs West Ham United Boxing day 3pm.

There is definite improvement over the last three games, we are coming from a long way back.

Also SR completely ****ed the transfer window yet again, which unfortunately can’t be addressed until January.

 

Interesting. A full 90 minutes for Onuachu while Archer doesn't get on the pitch at all.

 

Systems relies on a big man up top it seems. Don’t think Onuachu for Archer was considered a viable change. Archer should have come on for Armstrong though

 

It’s going to take a bit more than 3 days of Juric’s input to change months of the RM ‘way’.

 

Paul could have easily had 4 goals today

 

Exquisite turn from Lallana to set up TP there

 

Still, regadsleas of result, ive seen more today than 2 years ago when NJ took over and had 6 weeks of prep for us to get worse ...

 

A pity that TP has had most of the chances, he is clearly not in the groove.

 

Should pass there. Been so wasteful today, at least there was something to waste though which is more than can be said in previous games

 

Dibling having his first real show of some naivety, terrible decision not to pass to Onuachu there.

 

A bit like Sadio Mané in his early months here…

 

Onuachu could have had 6 today.

 

Wonder if he is like Crouch, nobody ever taught him how to head a ball just assumed he could because of his height

 

We’ve found Paul’s head more times in this match than in every minute he’s played before for us

 

Full time, deserved something but don’t take chances and that’s what you get

 

Vastly better overall play, but there can’t have been a worse set of finishers assembled in top flight European football surely.

Onuachu should have had a hat trick, at least.

Fernandes also missing sitters.

Scouting set up at Saints needs completely gutting, that side of things is on them.

 

Didn’t expect to win today, but the performance has lifted my expectations. Will still go down but with some respectability.

 

Cruel, but Wet Spam played the game out once they scored. We just had to take some of those chances especially first half.

This guy should have been in months ago. SR ****ed about far too long. Thought Wood was great, growing in confidence.

 

The first half gives hope that we can at least start competing and create a goal threat.

 

A lot good in the performance but 2 mins of awful defending and poor finishing, to be honest, cost us 3 points.

We should have scored at least 2.
