Elliottman Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 No complaints? He started with Shola "one decent half all season" Ameobi. Shola hasn't been playing too bad and it was probably the right thing to do against them, to be a bit a bit more direct and physical. Sounds as though someone has a chip on their shoulder.

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Right now, that's a churlish thing to say imo. 99.9% of the time, I'd agree though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osvaldo, Rodriguez and Lovren cost about £30m between them, not to mention the youth Southampton manage to regularly produce! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osvaldo, Rodriguez and Lovren cost about £30m between them, not to mention the youth Southampton manage to regularly produce! Southampton are like a better version of Norwich, a smattering of expensive good players surrounded by club level workhorses. We've spent far less on players like Gouffran, Sissoko and Cabaye, but our pedigree throughout the squad is much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 They had about 5 starters out of their starting 11. That's quite a lot. Going 4-5-1 in the second half with Shola up front, doing nothing, was an absolute disgrace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 We didn't win the game because of Remy's poor finishing and our poor defending. That doesn't excuse another display of negative tactics after taking the lead though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton have spent a fair bit and have the likes of Shaw, Ward-Prowse, Clyne (I know he was bought but was cheap) coming through. They are far from a bad side, as they have shown this season. A draw which we were more than deserving of and probably should have won is definitely not a bad result and Pardew can't be blamed for the chances we missed.

colinmk Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Exactly! Love it how that fact just seems to be put to one side. Even though we have seen it happen in more games than I have fingers and toes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost immediately after we scored, Gouffran went to the right with Sissoko central and Remy more on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good end to end game at the end and if remy scores we probably win it. We were at home with a one goal lead after 45 mins. I don't accept them dominating 20 mins of the second half, equalising then going end to end as good enough. We lost shape and control, all the things we've thought were looking better in the previous few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We come out worse and get battered 3 or 4 nil. Can't disagree with that, we have a complete bottle job of a manager. I just don't see why anyone is surprised when teams (other than us) come out a bit more up for it when they are behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I expect a team to come out looking for a goal in the second half when they're behind, I just also expect us not to allow them to get it. I've never seen a side struggle so consistently against the opposition when ahead in a game as we do. We pretty much slash the next goalscored odds for the opponents to about 2/7 every time we take the lead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
