Saints V Leicester Match Thread


SOTONS EAST SIDE

Recommended Posts

All I have ever reported is what I see based on the facts.

 

We have a good team but a small squad. We did not do enough over the summer to set us up for the whole season. I said it at the time and what I said is happening exactly as I predicted.

 

Last time I looked we weren't in 17th you ****ing numbnut. How about changing your tune instead of coming out with the same drivel in every post eh.

Getting a bit fed up of seeing Guly keep losing the ball

 

Agreed. Nobody has really acquitted themselves this evening, with the one possible exception of Jos, but Guly has looked anything but a professional footballer. Absolutely dreadful control and just gives the ball away every time he gets near it.

 

This is going to have to be one hell of a HT talk from NA to turn this around. Can't see us even scoring one, let alone two or three.

Not a great showing from the lads.

 

Jos has been immense. Connolly looks lost.

 

Leicester doing a great job of doubling up on Saints players when we entered their final third. Saints, not so much.

 

In short, we need a good sort out at half-time.

Why. I have been very consistent in my opinions. Even in November I did not get carried away by some posters who lost sense of our very good team but relatively weak squad. Of course I would love us to get promoted but always felt that consolidation was the aim. We may well finish three or four places above 17th, but my prediction would still be closer than most.

Utterly disgraceful performance. They pass, we hoof. No midfield, toothless attack, porous defense. Marking non- existent. And I'm sorry but whoever thought Hammond was a footballer needs eyes tested. Get Di Prado off. We don't need a performance like that to motivate. As I said before, it's defense where we need the reinforcements. Still, I do have money on 3-2...

I do not understand why you think he is talking drivel it is quite clear that the club did not invest enough in the summer or the last few weeks to enhance the team to allow for injuries loss of form suspensions etc.

 

These are quite common during a season but the team has done a great deal better than most would have thought and lets hope they are not a busted flush

OK - lets face it - our starting 11 is one of the best in the championship - the replacements to our players out are not...

 

I don't buy that excuse, to be fair. I think our backup players are at least as good as the backup players other leading sides have. Its just that Lmabert, Lallana and Fonte especially are that good, its very difficult to have backup players who can come in and consistently and adequately fill the void they leave behind. Lallana is consistently rated as the best player outside the Premier League; its natural we're worse off without him. Same for Lambert, top scorer in the league and up there with assists too.

 

It doesn't excuse Guly and Connolly giving us nothing up top and our midfield looking swamped, mind.

2nd best all over the pitch - we look like the away side. Big, big second half coming up - believe it or not I would be happy to get out 2 - 1 loosers, well happy with a draw and a win would be incredible.

 

Looks like a lot of confidence has gone, we really don't need a hammering at home.

I reckon we are going to look back on tonight with bitter regret.

This is a bit embarassing what with it being on national TV. Everyone will be sitting there thinking 'how did this pile of **** get to top of the league?' Knew it would be like this after reading articles about Leicester being 'down to the bare bones,' 'not won two in a row forever,' 'never keep clean sheet,' 'can't score for toffee.' Had 3-0 written all over it. Need a BIG turn around in the second half just to restore pride. This could be a defining half a game for the season.
