HOZDA Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Squads with solid depth and stamina are certainly going to exceed this season. I'd like to put us into that category! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers of weaker sides may look to spoil the game a bit more, in order to disrupt the flow making it a bit more of a lottery in that long extra time with fatigue etc kicking in. In theory it should favour the stronger side but not always.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Decent match in fairness. Did however have that feel of a lower level side giving it a good go in a cup game against better opposition. Difficult to judge SW on this one equally.

No idea why he’s never consistently produced - the fact that he was only sub maybe tells me I’m a shit judge of player Aribo was superb whenever I saw him at Rangers and maybe just adjusting. Adams - hot and cold. One of those who will be superb at this level but not quite good enough at the top level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A smidge closer 2nd half but xG is about right. If anyone was going to get a wiiner it was always likely to be Southampton. Still not convinced on Martin's syle of play for the Champ but with a talented side as he now has, if they get into a groove they'll probably end up where most would expect this season.

Davefevs Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 I really, really, really dislike Russell Martin. The smoke that gets blown up his arse does my head in. Southampton will go well this season (I hope they do shit). Russell Martin will be up to the fans giving it large after every win, as if he’s the messiah. He’s just got an exceptional bunch of players for the level (as it stands). When Martin shows he can coach a team to defend, I’ll start to give him credit. At least Kompany showed humility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinforlife2 Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Sheffield Wednesday weren't as bad as people made out, and are no gimme for relegation. They at times looked a threat and defended well against probably the best team in the league on paper. When it went 1-1, there was a period of 10-15 minutes where despite not having the ball a lot, the few times they got it, they looked dangerous. Bannan put in some useful crosses and Southampton defensively looked vulnerable. Southampton did control the game in midfield, with a lot of slow build up play, and killed the game without needing to do anything stupid, but they constantly played for free kicks, slowed the game down and looked vulnerable when Sheffield Wednesday came at them. They were a little wasteful up top as well, spending too much wanting to place the ball in the net then have a go. Southampton for all their possession, made heavy work of a game Burnley last season would have won by 2 or 3 goals. In both halves Southampton seemed to take 10 minutes or so to find their stride, and in the second half this resulted in a Wednesday goal. Wednesday defended well, we're nowhere near as dirty as Southampton when it came to fouls and if anything looked lacking up top. If Southampton are promotion fodder, then Wednesday are not relegation fodder for sure, and if Wednesday are relegation fodder, then Southampton are by no means good things for top 6. Stats are often misleading, for all Southampton had all the possession in the world, they didn't utilise it in the manner of which champions elect do. There will be worse teams than Wednesday this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
