Saint86 Posted 24 January, 2018 Share Posted 24 January, 2018 If we're worried about brighton goalscorers then we should give up. They're a hard working side but dire in attack. We can't line up defensive for this one, it'll just be a stalemate. Go 1 up, they'll have to attack then we can pick them off. It isn't a game for Hojbjerg, Romeu and Lemina all together, it's too negative. Hojbjerg Romeu JWP Boufal Tadic Carillo Balance, crosses from both sides, target man in the middle and unpredictability in central with Boufal. We haven't signed Carillo yet!!

simo Posted 24 January, 2018 Share Posted 24 January, 2018 All of those who gave up our season tickets this season (that I used to go with) have decided this game is massive so have all got tickets so we can really get behind the team and give something back after Sunday's performance, Let's hope the team are as up for it as we are !

Pamplemousse Posted 24 January, 2018 Share Posted 24 January, 2018 Mike Dean is the ref. Brighton fans absolutely hate him, so should add a bit of extra spice to the match. And of course, the last time we met at St Mary's, we had the wonderful refereeing display of Peter Walton to behold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him slightly more since not disallowing Newport's winner against Leeds in the 3rd Round, but he's still the absolute nobber who shrugged his shoulders about some decision at Dean Court which at the time was completely out of order but now I can't even remember what it was about...

DRAGONZ_RULE Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 Needless to say this has taken on the status of Southampton's biggest game of the season to date.

If you are talking about this season at Dean Court then it has to be him sending off Raheem "the Penguin" Sterling for a second yellow after scoring in Man City overtime then piling into the City fans to celebrate having already gotten a yellow he got a second and the red, can't argue with that it's a bookable offence. I do recall him shrugging his shoulders when he surrounded by incredulous City players. Anyway no doubt he will be looking forward to this game as he is far more important than both Saints and Brighton, and he will be doing us both a massive favour in officiating the game for us. Said it before if you were to apply a tune to a ref both him and Clattenburg could both share Geri Halliwells Look at Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Miller Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 Biggest game of the season. Nothing less than 3 points will do.

hypochondriac Posted 27 January, 2018 Share Posted 27 January, 2018 That performance has made me nervous now. We need to size the game by the scruff of the neck and go St then for the entire game. Will we get that? It seems unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we start sitting back, a few thousand fans singing ‘Time to go for Pellegrino’ should ratchet up the pressure. He’s so mentally weak I think as a crowd our reactions en masses can actually have an influence.

teamsaint Posted 27 January, 2018 Share Posted 27 January, 2018 Hughton has the luxury of knowing that he can send his team out to play however he fancies.

Useful Idiot Posted 27 January, 2018 Share Posted 27 January, 2018 The away match was the most gutless performance I can recall watching. It's as if we thought that we were playing Barcelona or PSG. Worst part was, the way that we played we really didn't deserve anything more than a point. It was a cowardly display. Hope we actually have a go at them for 90 mins, regardless of which team is put out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really was no fear factor at all and we frequently bossed games against the biggest teams. Nowadays not only do we defend and hope for scraps from the big teams, we also give the smaller teams way too much respect and fail to impose ourselves.

BotleySaint Posted 27 January, 2018 Share Posted 27 January, 2018 Despite the win today I can't see us getting anything here. We've already failed to rise to the challenge of a "must win" game many times this season. Manager has no idea how to approach this kind of game so it will just be another one we needed to win and didn't. Read: Huddersfield and Palace home. Watford away.

DT Posted 27 January, 2018 Share Posted 27 January, 2018 Dunk is very good. Their keeper is very good. Murray is a handful. Knockaert is very good. It will be tough. But if we set up well and someone says to MP that if he game manages like he has been it willbe his last game we can win. We need to go balls out attack.
