Match Day Thread Southampton (a)

2 points dropped for me, again I don't get the substitutions, don't think Perez should have come off, Hayden and Shelvey looked knackered by the end.

But a good performance and it's nice to see the team look so organised so I'll forgive Rafa this time...

 

Not mooning hopefully?

Not sure Fenwicks can stand the loss of trade.....

 

or the loss of the whole window display space

 

Elliot - very poor
Yedlin - showed passion and energy. A lucky boy nonetheless.
Lascelles and Lejeune - a good partnership. One mistake from Lejeune but looked shattered.
Manquillo - another player who plays better at LB than their actual position. Thought he did well.
Hayden - good goal, headless at times, some good movement.
Shelvey - truly not good enough to be a starter, I can see why he was though with Merino playing 2 games. Passing was woeful, can't tackle and not much else.
Atsu - slated the signing at the start of the season but does appear to be better than I first gave him credit for. Still learning though.
Ritchie - had some good moments but plays like I do in 5-a-s-de, my team concedes so I get pissed off with my mates so try to score just by myself. Free kicks were dreadful and decision making not up to scratch today.
Perez - worked hard. Good goal. Still needs to improve on the goal scoring front. Maybe this goal will give him the confidence the fans won't give.
Joselu - won't score many goals but he is a workaholic. Just what you need in this sort of game and he did it well.

Subs:
Murphy - £12M? Wow! Not sure if he is any good but did nothing.
Merino - On another level to the rest of our players. Him and Hayden should be starters.
Gayle - I know the claim of a hamstring injury is out there but if that is the case then Rafa ****ed up by not having a different striker on the bench. Mitrovic ya knob!

Rafa - team spirit is right up there. Defence is the best I have seen it since........ since Woodgate turned Bramble into a worldie. Only issue I have is the subs. Diame should not be on the bench - Barlaser maybe? Gayle if injured should not be there - if not Mitro thenHeardman?

 

On a bender.

Never drinking again.

 

Until tonight?

 

Nope. I’m done with Mr Booze.

 

But not Mrs Booze? She is a red head I heard!
