Saints v Watford match fred

Should have won that, we started off badly but looked the better side for 70% of that match. Some good performances, we made lots of chances in the second half, Redmond and Holjberg looked fantastic at times. JWP poor, Long did well to win the red card but he had one of those days where he was a bit off his game, Tadic was bright at times. Targett had a mixed game. Watford defended well.

For me I am still not sold on this. Redmond looks very dangerous when he is outside more. I also think we need more punch inside. Ideally I'd like to see 3 upfront with Redmond, Austin, and Long, but we Puel doesn't want to play that. That would put Redmond on the ball more in open space, and give us a "box" type threat in Austin (which is really what we are missing). In this formation, I think if Pelle was still here he'd be on the bench also.

Players grew in confidence there. Tadic, Hojbjerg and Van Dijk are absolute class on the ball. Can see the 1st 2 linking up a lot this season. We were clearly the better team even before the red, once things click better with the formation it's promising signs imo.

Totally agree.

Hojberg is a class act and must start next game.

2 points dropped, good subs by the manager plus we need a deadly striker coming off the bench as IMHO Austin does not suit this formation.

Can't agree with you there. The last half an hour was a lot better abd especially after the sending off but before then we were struggling to create anything. Soares and romeu were particularly poor and we just couldn't keep the ball. I think better teams will outmuscle us in the middle so hojburg is a must. We still need some attacking creativity for me but redmond really did well in the second half. Overall some positives but I'm not convinced by this new formation yet.
