Match Day Thread Southampton v Liverpool Tuesday 17th May 19:45

Nice post. But in reality I hold good performances higher than results. Not 9-0 defeats but I would have preferred losing 1-4 with a few more attempts on goal and higher possession

 

Up until half-time we were doing fine. Don’t mind going defensive first half. The main thing is to be in with a shout going into the second half, which is how it went. No one wants to be 3-0 down after 20 minutes. But second half we should have come out all guns blazing. As Mowgli says, might as well lose 4-1 having gone for it, than lose 2-1 parking the bus and being dominated.

 

Total Saints Podcast nailed it again. If you’ve got 45mins, definitely much more entertaining than last eve & a lot of sensible comments.

 

more relevant is that he leads the league outside the top 6 in chances created. Assists require someone to out them away which isn’t his problem per se.

 

But dear God, is it ever ours!

 

Indeed. You weren't wrong though, his deadball ability is world class but from open play he is a great disrupter, not a great creator. I can remember a few games where he has played good crosses into the box or slipped a thru ball out wide but the overall impression this season is of a phenomenal holding mid who lacks vision.

edit - this is probably a case of holding JWP accountable for wider team failings.

 

We need someone to do the Leicester thread please.

 

Well volunteered

 

I’ve never done one before, will have a go if no one objects?

 

You could be the missing ingredient!

 

In a **** sandwich?

 

Go for it Archie, this could be a run that lasts to Christmas and beyond.

 

Gull ****?

 

Oh libby

 

****ing hope not. Relying on this being a one off tbph.

Will do it during my tea break later, when I promise to show the same level of interest as the players.

 

This is an open goal for cheese puns!

 

I stand by it

 

So your tea break is only 10 seconds?

 

Batshit.

 

Our top scorer in both the carboa and fa cup runs.

Scored more than Richarlison this year
