Mihai Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Good job my boys ! Exacty what I was talking about in the first half, it happend in the second. Good match-plan, good type of counter against a better opposition (at least on the table) . That yellow card on Vyner was a disgrace, the referee was at a few meters away. Not sad for not being a Clean Sheet but it will be next game haha. Sam Bell looked so shy, it made me smile.

Jerseybean Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 My first half thoughts included this: Thought we played with composure, intensity, professionalism, and desire. throughout that 45 minutes. The frustrating ‘nearly’ bit is when we get around or into their box it’s nearly, nearly, nearly, every time as the final ball has been lame either to a defender or their keeper, that is the huge area for improvement. Memheti, Bell, Roberts, have all been guilty of delivering a very weak final ball, following very enterprising and I catching approach play. The top teams have that ruthless, clinical edge in the final third that we are blatantly lacking at the moment. Second half we played just as well, however, we very much did deliver quality balls in the final third (even if the first goal came from a pass from an off side position.) Without wishing to over react that was one of the most complete team performances from us in a league game (against a very good opponent) in a very long time. Well done all the players and the staff. We even scored following a throw in, when did that last happen!? Only disappoint was not keeping a clean sheet. So, we have shown in recent weeks what a solid / capable team we can be against two premier league teams and certainly did so again tonight against a team high on confidence and likely to be in the promotion hunt at the end of the season. A very good performance and a well deserved three points. Well played you Reds! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCRED Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 11 minutes ago, The turtle said: A fantastic performance.yes the end product was annoying in first half. But it was still a good performance. It was them being so dull trying to put everyone to sleep. But the whole game from us has been about energy, foot to floor, aggressive football. Both with and without the ball as much as possible. While extremely disciplined No hint of control survival football, no hint of sluggish. Gone for them, gone wide, simply gone at them with a pure intensity. They've been trying to play chess. We've thrown the board to the ground and made it clear it's our house and our rules. No matter how much possession you have. Play like this every week, sign me up here and mow With players coming back from injury and a couple of loans we now have more depth in the squad and this allows us to make changes without losing quality & energy on the pitch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 One area I think we have improved is when regaining possession we have looked to pass forward into space rather than the safer option in the other direction. Whether that is because Southampton were pushed up a bit further than most I am not sure. We looked a threat all game long. Could easily have been 5 goals for us. Meanwhile Sky are STILL droning on and on and on about the team that lost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good performance and a well deserved three points. Well played you Reds! For me it’s the lack of a quick final ball. there’s often too much hesitation before the final ball which leads to too many men getting back into position and stifling any attack or chances of a second ball because we had numbers. mehmeti, bell and knight were all guilty of it tonight but I won’t dwell on it too much because we got a great result. Just to end, it seems as if we’re reluctant to make that final cross into the box because it’ll turn over possession, I feel like you’ve gotta take the risks sometimes instead of the extra touches and predictable shot.

alexukhc Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 One thing I mentioned to the mateys around me was their keeper was very good, tho we should’ve tested him off his line more than once and the ball didn’t like leaving the floor once they had it, they still had elements of premiership football, liked to make something out of nothing and very petulant once losing a player.
