Hull v Saints match thread

Bet Koeman isn't too pleased....bit of a perfectionist.

 

Sorry if it's been mentioned, but anyone know what the black armbands are for?

 

Chelsea, perhaps predictably - beating QPR. 1-0. Oscar.

 

Ok ta . Thought you were being sarcastic

 

This is Hull's annual remembrance fixture. I believe it's because they have 2 away games next so won't be able to do it any closer to the 11th of November.

 

Stoke 1 up against West Ham.

 

We need to try and push up the pitch more.all the play is in our half

 

Steven Davis has been sensational in this first half so far

 

Let's get a second

 

Is that interesting Steve Davis? He can be as dull as he likes if he plays like he does.

 

Both sides are defending superbly. Going to be a tough grind this one.

 

Saints fans singing non stop for the last 10 mins, great effort.

 

15:41
Chelsea are currently nine points clear of Manchester City, 11 away from Arsenal, 12 ahead of Liverpool and 13 clear of Man Utd.
Only Southampton can keep up.

 

We aren't very slick today, are we? Also, we're too happy playing at the back with little ambition of pushing forward, and it's inviting pressure, I think.

Mane on, please, for Long.

 

The trouble with being 2nd is we can't rocket up the table like Newcastle.

 

The non stop OWTS is awesome

 

Not Tadic?

I wonder why we play it back to Foster to lump it up so often - players like Long, Tadic and Davis are not going to be aerially superior.

 

I will take 1-0 HT. Time to regroup.

 

The defender is 80% likely to win a punt upfield - it's where he heads it that's important and whether we can win the second ball

 

We were soaking up the pressure. Hull were all over us for short period. You can't argue with it considering we've only conceded 5 goals this season. In fairness to Forster he tries to aim at Long or Pelle, if he has to hit a long ball.

I re-worded that.
