Yorkie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Only saw the last five mins of the half but was pretty clear by that point we needed half-time. Howay. Soton's kit is beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Elliot's giving me jitters and still giving away a few silly free-kicks in dangerous positions, but that was very good on the whole. agreed on elliot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Reckon it's going to plan so far. Keep it tight, deny them chances and hold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 First 30 we we're comfortable and deservedly ahead. Last 10/15 they pilled on the pressure, but they never really created a clear cut chance. Overall, decent half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Joselu has been absent aside from that effort before HT. Perez has pressed but lost the ball everytine he’s got it. We need an outlet upfront, even if that’s just Mitro to hold the ball up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 We've done okay. Most of our problems have been self-inflicted through poor passes, stupid fouls (ref is giving absolutely everything) or dodgy clearances. Feels like luck rather than judgement that our clean sheet is intact, unlike other games this season. Going forward we look a threat, need to be on the ball more.

Wallsendmag Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Dont know why they don't target Manquillo more. Every time their winger goes up against him he manages to get his cross in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 We are bound to get a few chances in the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 We are lucky they can't finish. Need to up our game in the second half. In fairness they haven't actually created that many chances to finish except the Tadic header. It's all approach play and crosses which have led to nothing. Aye, Rafa's got this. I'm still very nervous mind Don't like how many crosses Manquillo is allowing on his side and the team seems to lack composure on the whole today.

Kanji Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Classic Rafa. Allowing the opposition to think they are dominating, whilst they knacker themselves out. We have Sexy Mikel on the bench too. We have a brilliant way of making teams feel like they are in more control than reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Not convinced by Elliot or Manquillo. Considering how shit Manquillo was supposed to be, I don't think he's a bad game for us yet. He's been fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Despite having barely anything to do Blob has been pretty rubbish. Hopefully we can keep frustrating them and hit them on the break with Atsu and Gayle when he comes on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Manquillo had his typical match, some good stuff (covering well at the back post a couple of times), some shite stuff that wasn't punished (like playing Gabbiadini onside for that one he just couldn't reach). Overall: average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Perez has worked hard again and was instrumental in the goal. That aside he's been quite poor IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Winning at HT is better than I expected. We look a threat every time we go forward and that is why they are scared to fully commit going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been fine. Can't remember him stopping a cross so far today. Every time they go down the right hand side they get a lot of joy, he definitely hasn't been fine. Not to mention he was at fault for their best chance. I don't like him at all, Rafa has his reasons but Mbemba never came close to making me as nervous.
