He just barely missed the ball. No way that's a red card. Foolish challenge, perhaps. But I really don't think that's a red. I also think football's rules are crazy. To ruin a game for that makes no sense... There have to be better ways to penalize a player, without wrecking a game.

Koemans clearly just told Fonte 5 at the back ... Backs to the walls guys .... Don't agree taking mane off, should be Pelle keep the pace on .

 

Victor was a fair decision he had lost control even if he missed full contact

Precisely.

 

We grew up with different rules though.

Mane off? why not the immobile Pele

Because it looks like Koeman has decided to protect the 1-0 rather than go for a second. Probably sensible tactics when going down to ten men

You'd be better off keeping Mane up so we have pace on the counter attack and can actually keep their centre backs occupied. As has been established today and throughout most of the season, Pelle just isn't very good as a target man, despite that being the main reason for his inclusion.

Stupid challenge by Victor but poor decision by Clattenburg - yellow and a taking to if the ref wasn't conference league south standard. Saints need to go over and simulate injury at every opportunity and we need to get on the refs back at every opportunity. Try and g t it 10 v 10.

Lol at all the tacticians moaning about Mane going off. Pelle will hold the ball up and that's what we need. Going for a second goal would be suicidal atm. We need the ball to stick as far away from our box as possible.

That was a badly mistimed tackle, but not malicious. A red was harsh. Clattenburg even went to his yellow pocket as soon as it happened. Still Wanyama not on the pitch is a big loss.

 

Romeu on is correct, but for Mané is wrong. I can see why Pellé stayed on, as we'll just play long to him for the rest of the game, but Mané off is incorrect, I'd have taken off Long. Mané is better at keeping possession which we need.

 

This will be a nervous game now, and we'll be lucky to hold on. Fingers crossed.
