Southampton away match thread

Recommended Posts

Just got back in time to catch the second half. The stream-10 stream keeps dropping out and the other link won't load but from the sounds of it, I'm better off not watching.

It was always going to be a difficult away fixture so hopefully we can drag a point out of it and crack on but from the sounds of the comments on here, we'll have to improve to do that.

As I said earlier, first half excellent.

However.

The concern over Liam is twofold for me - “process over outcomes” and the ability to react in a game. It was working first half but there are two teams in a game. The other team react to how you play, and you need to counter react - and do so well.

That MK Dons tailspin troubles me, and it will continue to do so while we have the inability to react to other teams in a game. There is no sense in being wedded to a philosophy and process over outcomes when that process is combated and the outcome is wrong.

It's a free hit tonight as I doubt even our most optimistic supporters expected anything, but I would rather we went 2-0 down trying than how we are going about it at the moment.

I get that, but it would be nice to get something out of the games against the big boys in this league now and again like.

Interesting. Tho his reputation at Oxford was the opposite, very astute substitutions which often changed games.

Where is the research he didn't react in game at MK, out of interest?

Funny how the comments have turned and now there are concerns over Manning and the honeymoon is over :laughcont:

Tbf mate I made the exact point I’ve just made a couple of days ago on the “Hen and Chicken” thread. It’s legitimate based on history but I’ll give credit as due - as that first half was. Trying to be antagonistic like this post is a bit odd.

In other news does anyone else think Nahki is really great on the co commentary? Really insightful and confident to chat away. Would happily have him on more often (although even better if he's on the pitch ofc).

I was just thinking how much we miss him on the pitch in a game like this. Composure up front really lacking for us and he has that.

Nah.

Its typical knee jerk on a match day thread, nothing more and nothing less.

Dons fans - read a fair bit from them post his appointment. As ever, you can’t be 100% as there is always bias but it is the case that he went from feast to famine there. Losing Twine etc didn’t help but it is a worrying sign in view of its recency - and it was always going to be harder at a higher level
