Johnnyp Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 We need to be clever how we manage the game. Traore has let Bertrand go a few times and it looks dangerous when he goes on the over lap with Armstrong. Need to utilise Trezeguets strengths tonight. He'll work his balls off in an area where we are kinda been exposed in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I don't normally get annoyed or frustrated with commentators, but these are pissing me off (maybe because I've had a beer) Yes Southampton were the better team in that first half, but they are talking like it's David flooring Goliath with a sling shot. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Three shots on target and a goal. Unlucky it's not more. Southampton have been very wasteful. Credit to the defensive work as so far, all they've had is pot shots from outside the box. Mings and Konsa have put in some crucial blocks as Targett and Cash have worked hard to get the ball out and sit deep when required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Not sure what the officials were looking at for the penalty shout, but we got lucky there by my estimation. I'd be furious if I were a Soton fan. That said, we've been robbed of about 9 points by VAR this season, so I'll take it. Great assist from Jack for the goal.

Wakins needs to hold onto the ball better as everything was bouncing off him constantly giving back possession. Positives were the goal and the defending which were very good but Southampton must be head scratching how they finished the first half 1 down. Yeah but we've by far created the best chances. Can't remember Martinez having to work too much so far Edited January 30, 2021 by villalad21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including conceding three v Leeds. Get stuck into em Deano. last time we played this lot we let in 4 goals in 45min. surely this is better?

Including conceding three v Leeds. Get stuck into em Deano. Inclined to agree. Outplayed up until minute 40 where we slightly improved. They’re playing through Luiz and McGinn at ease in the middle - We need to sort that. Traore has been poor id say. Still, we’re winning and whilst we haven’t been great, they haven’t created anything really clean cut. We can win this. Oh, and it was a penalty. As clear as day.

Chindie Posted January 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 30, 2021 It's smash and grab stuff. It's clear the balance is wrong and we may as well be playing with about 7 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted January 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 30, 2021 Even game in my book, Southampton have had plenty of possession but no real quality and we have had the opposite , less possession but one moment of quality. Barkley looks short of match fitness and Mc Ginn looks a little lost. Traora is such a rough diamond, moments of pure brilliance while lacking in concentration at other times . Can we see this out? Next goal wins the game for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishVillain Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Traore and Ross for Trez and Sanson. The extra level of press will be the perfect counter to how fast they'll come out second half. If not I predict Traore to continue getting walked past without putting in a tackle until they score down their left, at which point we'll take him off for Davis.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) I commented last week that we show signs of being very much a confidence team. We need to shake that. Seems the result last week made us cagey and nervous from front to back. When we finally started probing and got the goal, we transformed. Still think we need a tweak though as Southampton we well and far on top for most of it. Edited January 30, 2021 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilski Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Felt we were slower but also the formations were a missmatch, being bossed until the goal which seemed to totally deflate them and boost us. Barkley seemed to drop deep almost inbetween of luiz and mcginn hopefully that is roughly where he stays and not just to see out the last few minutes until ht.
