What a referring train wreck.

I'm still ****ed about those 2 crappy, weak goals we let in. We could've have won this, for sure gotten a draw. Stephens needs to be replaced.

That was such a nothing goal. Someone (Stephens, Cedric, McCarthy) should have handled that. We can't keep giving up such weak goals.

Our defence sucks

Hojberg is playing great today

Lets go, we can take the Arsenal backups!

30 seconds Austin~

Here we go. I'd bring Sims or Boufal on too.

Seems to me that Arsenal are here for the taking if we went more aggressive. Give it another 10 minutes than switch things up and go for it

I am not impressed with the squad that Arsenal has put on the pitch. It still looks pretty shaky to me. I'd be tempted to give it a go and see if we can score a few. We're down so the sit back and pray we counter won't get us there. I doubt Wenger puts any of his top players in the game now that they are ahead, so I think we can give it a run versus this Arsenal set up

ok, so the real question now is do you try to be more aggressive and tie it up, or do you stay back and limit the goal differential?

We had three or four defenders there and he still gets it off

Uh oh

Awful defending there

Now we have to hope Wenger doesn't decide to put all his starters in. Save them for Europe!

OK, so is it even possible to park the bus more than we already are?

Ha ha ha ha. I think we put Arsenal to sleep there. Great strategy!

So far we look much more composed on defense, although of course playing all 11 men on D probably helps that. Obvious we are going for the point, and praying to hit a long lucky break away if we are really lucky.

bad pass from Long. At least Long and Tadic are running today

Wow good 37 seconds there

Playing for the draw by the looks of it. If its tied in teh 2nd maybe become more aggressive and go for it

Not a bad set of results, could have been much worse. 3 adrift with 2 games in hand. We need to starting getting points though, it's all meaningless if we dont.

We still have Swansea there too, and we have a shot at them in a few weeks.

Arsenal have a match against CSKA on the 5th, and then again on the 12th. Out match on the 8th is stuck directly in between. We may be hitting Arsenal at the right time. They could be more focused on Europe than the PL, and may rest a bunch of players.

Interesting article in the Ugly Truth. I agree with this, our CB's stink. It causes our whole scheme to commit more players back to help, which by definition makes us a defensive team. https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/southampton/forum/221140/saints-cannot-attack-and-defend/#5
