Well it clearly did as we never invited pressure like that when he was on the pitch and as soon as he goes off we are magically allowing Southampton to pass around our box and sitting very deep.
Not a coincidence.
Reminds me of Lucio except he's not as strong in the air. Everytime he wins the ball he looks to go forward, it's just pure class.
Hopefully he is Inter Lucio rather than Bayern Lucio
It's not surprising Southampton were fitter tbh, they have been playing competitive football for close to a month. Be hard pressed to find a fitter team than them at this point, at least i'd expect so.
I think a lot of the chances conceded today were down to communication more than it was lack of aerial ability or physicality. Which will improve as the season goes on, at least to a point anyway if Haidara doesn't buck his ideas up.
Agree with all that, also i think their goal was due to a lack of communication than anything which will improve IMO. Reasonably pleased with 3 of the back 4 for the most part but Haidara has been shit IMO would definitely buy a LB if it was me in charge
Deserved equaliser, been much the better side IMO. Shame about their goal as usual it could have been very avoidable.
Despite that i definitely think we would be better without both Colback-Anita and Obertan
