Sheaf Saint Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 So many good performances tonight it's hard to single anyone out, but I'd like to give special mentions to... JWP - an absolute masterclass of a performance and two outstanding assists Elyounoussi - finally looked like the player we thought we were signing Perraud - take a bow son. Had to wait for his chance to make the LB slot his own but made himself undroppable tonight. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose he rarely misses a game so yeah I get that. I just think that Stu is perfect for our system and the balance is affected so much when he isn't there.

LVSaint Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 I walked off away from the tv to grab something after the 'equalizer' to make it 3-3, came back, gutted, watched the final few minutes of us hanging on for the 'draw'. Final whistle and Ralph going mental?? scoreline still 2-3. 😀 silly billy. get in! 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The win % stats with and without him are incredible. Similar with FF how we played McCarthy above him to start the season is just ridiculous how we have offered McCarthy a contract above him is even worse 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 For years we’ve been forced to lament the players we’ve lost, but now it’s turning into an advantage. We couldn’t have played like that in a million years with Vestergaard, Bertrand and - especially - Hojberg in our line up. In fact, it really helped us tonight that Hojberg was in THEIR lineup. 😂 The squad improvement is quite stunning. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ButtikonSaint Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 What a great performance for the team, good selection from RH...

He's asking himself how a team like Southampton can come to his ground and wipe the floor with his players. His demeanour spoke volumes and it was a joy to watch him stumbling through that interview with about as many answers as his team had for us on the field. 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dman Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 Best performance I’ve seen from us in my recent memory. To a man. Very much deserved.

HarvSFC Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 Outstanding. Only criticism would be that Hasenhuttl didn't walk up to Conte with his finger over his lips after the way that bloke with the embarrassing hair transplant acted after going 2-1 up. We outplayed the cheats, the referee and got the result the match deserved. JWP is a Van Dijk money player now, considering how much goals and assists are worth today. We should try those crosses more often, both were right on the money and we were right not to sell him for £50m to Aston f**king Villa in the summer. Perraud's found his feet now after looking a bit Cedricy early doors. Hit the bar again, similar to the one against Wolves. If he can keep those long range shots up and turn some into goals, that would be very handy. Stuart Armstrong is finding his form again, such an effective player. Him and Broja are just so direct and attack minded and its the perfect trait to have as a footballer, rather than turning and playing the safe pass, which are eventually easy to defend. The takeover has seemed to lift the club on all fronts without many changes, which is what we wanted. We've broken back back into the top 10 of the Premier League, which is pretty remarkable considering we've had a bottom three net spend for a good few years now. Up the Saints. This is why we support Southampton. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farawaysaint Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 Nice to see Che becoming a really solid prem striker as well. I mean sure, Broja gets all the plaudits but Che is turning into a very decent buy as well. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 Can't believe Hasenhuttl dared to play 4-2-2-2 again. What an absolute muppet. Will he never learn? We all know that formation is complete garbage and never gets us any points. Joke of a manager, should have been sacked after the two 9-0 losses. Only a noddy club like Southampton would stick with him after that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
