Damn. I love a good penalty shootout. Gutted I missed ours against Lincoln.

Probably a good tip: if you’re going to title your page “football analytics for football fans” maybe get the basic analysis correct in the first paragraph. Otherwise, and I’m guessing here, people might just stop reading otherwise.

Me too. I’m gutted that we left straight after the whistle and missed them 😢

It’s a bit of a strange article.  The whole tone of it seems to be based on the premise of “Saints must play better than they did against Forest”. That’s not analysis, it’s just blindingly obvious. If the Forest game was the last game we had played then I’d get it, but it wasn’t. And surely after a promising spell against Palace then an incredible result and performance against Man City, I’d have thought an article might be better placed putting much more focus on that turnaround? Just my opinion, like. But to me it seems to be saying “forget about Palace and Man City for a minute, look how bad Saints were when they played three games ago”. It seems like a very odd focus to me.

I find that the final paragraph (copied below) is about the only really relevant bit (although not altogether accurate, I think we saw something of the City performance in the second half at Selhurst). The rest of the article is quite frankly just a lot of words that everyone knows already.

“Against City, Southampton were aggressive, direct, and pressed high in a way their fans had yet to see under Jones. There was a clear plan in place and it was executed perfectly. Southampton must now take this approach into the league, regardless of what shape or personnel are involved. If they do, they might just have a chance of beating the drop.”
