Southampton away match thread

[RedM]

Best I've seen us play for quite a while. Even if we do go on to loose it just proves what we are capable of. Really enjoying this so far.

[Lew-T]

^May sound contradictory from me above.

I think we’ve been good without the ball in terms of shape.

[MelksRed]

It's the simple touches done well.

Sulemana going off for Saints. Adams on.

Good as he was there main outlet until he got injured 

[RedM]

They just put possession stats on the screen here. Doesn't feel like 64% to 36%

[Marina's Rolls Royce]

Tommy needs a goal from open play - you know it's in there for him but he just needs that boost to crack on. I believe.

And we had only 1 clear cut chance?

Decent start not much happening.

There was loads happening . Fascinating watching us with or without the ball . Some of our movement has been really good . 

[1960maaan]

We look to have bought into the possession thing already, much better than for some time. 
Getting into some good positions and really could have been a couple up , Sykes really unlucky.
Not sure what's happened to TC. Looks a yard slower than last year, doesn't look as confident for some reason. I thought the goals at Rotherham might have got him right back into the groove but he's really not there. 3 bad misses that he would have gobbled up last year. I hope he gets himself sorted soon, it's the one thing missing from the performance so far.

We look very well coached.

Steady on. I’m still hurting!

Well, for me, that’s comfortably the best half of football under Manning. The press is much higher and quicker, the passing is faster and on the whole, level and could be more if Tommy puts those chances away or if that Sykes chance goes in post an excellent build up.

Very good, and more importantly, a clear progression from QPR and Boro

I don’t think we are really pressing high , definitley not all the time . Seem more condensed in midfield 

[Mr Popodopolous]

Quite enjoyed that. We can perhaps get something here.

The Conway chance was a huge one, Bazanu made another good save.

Would absolutely take this.

[Lew-T]

This kit is still rancid though.

[East Londoner]

Think I’ve solved the Dolman PA problems, use 3 speakers rather than 1

[bcfc01]

Good performance so far.

Tommy really needs to up his game, thats two one on ones in successive games where he was nowhere near scoring. He missed a simple header as well. He really needs a goal in open play to get his confidence back.

Where’s the pillars? 

[Dolman Block B]

Think that’s as good as I’ve seen the lads play away from home in the first half

 

Please don’t @@@@ it up in the next 45

I agree. I.meant in terms of goalmouth action.

Bugger what a goal that is

Lee Johnson or Korey Smith?

[Fordy62]

Bugger. 

[Ska Junkie]

Balls!

[Atyeo's lift]

Bugger

[Better Red]

They shoot they score

 

[Super]

That's a worldie.

[Lanterne Rouge]

No-one`s stopping that I`m afraid.

[Dastardly and Muttley]

That’s a top finish. 

[Ivorguy]

I am not enjoying Sky commentary

[cidercity1987]

First time we gave them any space on the edge of the box. Goal

[Red Army 87]

“Keep it tight first 5 mins back out there lads”

[Fordy62]

Can’t argue with a finish like that.
