Good stuff from Ely, Quick into the tackle.

3-4-3 then by the look of it, with the wing backs playing a flexible role

It's the formation that suits us most, but too often we slip into 5 at the back.

Started well today.

[Convict Colony]

Good start, aggressive and getting forward quickly. 

 

[OttawaSaint]

NJ lower league tactics working. Kick the ball out and shout "our ball!".

[Bad Wolf]

Anyone else muted the commentators? Absolute morons.

[Suhari]

JWP snapping into tackles.

Definitely more about us today.

[Saint NL]

Fulham 0-0 Southampton

 

Che Adams pays his own tribute to Pele with an audacious effort from just over the halfway line as he spots Bernd Leno off his line. The result is not very Pele-like though.

 

🤣🤣

[trousers]

Famous last words but we've looked quite composed the first 10 minutes

[Bad Wolf]

Saints fans singing OWTS

Commentator: "It's rather quiet in this round" tosser

Gary Birtles and some state the obvious type guy?

Birtles just doesn't stop complaining. It's like his nagging wife made him co-commentate.

I reckon the subs should still dig a tunnel to escape at half time though...

Christ that was close

It was either that or play my "nil nil written all over it" card....

[Mr X]

24% possession whoop

[niceandfriendly]

We're actually trying. We have zero quality but bloody hell they're actually trying.

Fulham starting to dominate now.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Fulham looking physically stronger in their defence and midfield

Che looks a bit isolated

Ball sticks to Aribo

JWP gettign a tasty tackle in

Fulham capable of creating more than we are

Our support is louder than theirs.

 

[Bad Wolf]

Wow I didn't know that was THE Willian!!

I thought it was just a Brazilian player who happened to have the same name!

[wooley7]

Shape of the team looks lots better and they are actually looking fairly organised. Both a step forward from Brighton.

Don't watch a lot of football then 🙂

Has Elyounoussi touched the ball yet? #anonymous

Tbh not really. I consider myself a Saints fan but not really a football fan. (Just as well really)

If a game doesn't involve or concern Saints in any way then I'm not really interested.

...For real? He's touched it several times, won it several times and put several balls forward. I'm not a fan of his at all but he's certainly been in the game.

[Saint_clark]

Yes, quite a bit, playing well.

[OttawaSaint]

I think NJ only took this job so he can see the Pope in Newcastle...

He's been getting some tasty tackles in, put the quality street away

[markr27]

JMN looking lost.

[AlexLaw76]

Mo has been decent so far, IMO

[Saint Matty 76]

Did anyone think for a second Che would finish that? Haha

[OttawaSaint]

Che's xHK improving. Hit the keeper there, beauty!

[The Juice]

who had 19 mins for Che missing a one-on-one? 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nice turn by Mo.

[AlexLaw76]

ahhh

Adams was onside too

[niceandfriendly]

When you're one on one with the keeper, hit it straight at him. Good lad Che.

[Chez]

bury it

[Archers Road Stand]

Good save from the Fulham keeper tbf. 

[markr27]

Che Adams hitting goalkeeper. Check.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Good chance for Che there.

Mitrovic buries that chance. 

[Mr X]

Adams is so awful when he has time and space 

[Chez]

showing some fight. Like it.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

And another from the corner.

[niceandfriendly]

I do not like Elyounoussi, at all. But he's started well.

[Saint_clark]

They look well up for this. 

[OttawaSaint]

We're playing better then fulham but it'll finish 1-0 because Mitrovic can finish and Che can't.
