sad saints fan Posted 11 February, 2014 Share Posted 11 February, 2014 Southampton are a brilliant team, and I've thought this all Season. They're a couple of World Class players away from establishing themselves as European contenders every Season. They're pass and move game is a joy to watch, and we were ran and passed off the pitch. Those morons texting into BBC Radio Humberside after the game saying, "We were diabolical", "Embarrassing performance" etc etc. need a high five in the face with a chair. Is it really that hard to admit that a team came to the KC, closed us down fast, in groups and choked our midfield making us pass poorly and resulting in us playing hopeful hoof-ball for 90 minutes? They had a game plan, and they executed it. We couldn't play, and as much as we wanted to get it on the ground and play as we usually do, we couldn't as every time we tried, we were closed down and lost the ball. I thought the substitutions should have come earlier, but I don't really have any complaints. Jelavic did well IMO, considering the lack of service all match. The thing I like about the S'oton team is that they're using a lot of young English players, and they really look like the real deal. Brilliant team and, let's not forget, they're a year and £40 odd million ahead of us... Onwards and upwards.

shurlock Posted 11 February, 2014 Share Posted 11 February, 2014 They've done very well, but not sure signing Jelavic and going back to 2 up top is sensible. Thought with 1 up front they'd been looking half decent. Long long way behind saints and others though. They're not far from the west ham sort of level though, and at a lot less expense and playing better football (usually) Agree. Expected more from them -on a good day, they use pace and width to good effect, though the style is still distinctly 'English'. As you say, I think their new signings have 'boxed' them in -not just Jelavic but also Long who really is little more than a huffer and puffer. With 4-4-2 the temptation is always to get the ball up earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaMarlin Posted 12 February, 2014 Share Posted 12 February, 2014 Steve Bruce is that rare beast, a manager who calls it as he sees it. Regardless of the praise he gave Saints, what impressed me about his post-match presser was his view on the corner that led to the goal. The assistant clearly got it wrong, it should not have been a corner, but when the interviewer asked Bruce if that was valid, he said: "Perhaps it shouldn't but we would be clutching at straws." His view was that while it might not have been a corner, Hull still needed to defend it better as if it was a properly awarded corner. There should be no difference to the way you defend a correctly awarded set piece to the way you defend an erroneously awarded one. I'm sure we can all think of plenty of managers who would have been all over that as their excuse, blaming the officials, and saying how a bad decision cost them the game.

AussieDog Posted 12 February, 2014 Share Posted 12 February, 2014 It's great to hear such positive feedback from other clubs. I just hope we don't become too arrogant (a la West Ham). We've come a long way in a short time. With regards to Boruc, I think he is good for a few more years yet. He may be prone to an occasional howler, but generally he seems to inspire confidence in the defence and is a great shot-stopper. I really can't think of any goalkeeper that doesn't commit at least one or two howlers a season. There are a lot of goalkeepers out there who have gone through purple patches but I really can't think of many I would swap him for. It's certainly way down the list of priorities, although a backup keeper is fairly high up the list. Although we don't have the strength in depth of the top 4, we seem to have at least one good quality replacement for each area (or we did until Osvaldo let us down). I think a couple of top quality players added each summer will see us keep the improvement going - and also keep the team spirit intact and keep the enthusiasm in the Academy/Development squads as they can still see a path in to the first team. Top of the list has to be an out and out goalscorer with the right work ethic, followed by a left sided defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
