Optimistic Nut Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Most teams have better players than us. If teams are throwing more caution to the wind when they're desperate for a goal, there's a decent chance they'll score. That's not always down to bricking it.

I agree, and it is to be assumed that teams will intensify their efforts for an equaliser, but there is a stark difference to our composure at those times.

Stottie Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 A win means that Southampton would have to win 2 more than us from 8 games. This stage of the season margins like that or huge. True dat. Our 15 goals in 15 away games is 11th best in the league. 12 goals in 15 home games is rock bottom. Trying to delve into it, shots in home games is 6th fewest, but we are third worst when it comes to shots from the penalty area or 6 yard box. Some of it is finishing, but we are also not creating enough at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it is finishing, but we are also not creating enough at home. Been a few home games I recall where we've been restricted to long shots, albeit we've come close with them. Others where we've created very little in general. Games like Swansea where we've created chance after chance were the exception. All that said, we usually do create at least 1 or 2 very good chances every home game, and miss them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Think this is going to be a pleasant result, 3-0. They just have to remember they beat ManU here and go out and enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenum Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 We must give it our all to win this! It's not a 'must win' , but in my opinion we can't be considered a PL side if we don't expect to beat the likes of Soton at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I've watched a few Southampton games lately, including Stoke just gone, and whilst they were better than their opponents they don't look a good side by any stretch. Given our general solidity and that we've proven hard to beat for decent sides, I really don't think we'll be losing this one. A draw would be the obvious prediction but I do think we'll nick it by 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 With players like Boufal to bring off the bench it would be silly to rule out their chances if it's all level late on in the game like. A boring 1-0 to us with them not threatening too much would be absolutely welcome though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
