Come on Redmen!!
I usually enjoy watching us play Southampton as they play decent football, have some tidy players and we usually win. I did not enjoy the away game this season! We gave away a poor early goal and never really bossed the game and fell to defeat.
It goes without saying that we need to find our finishing but Leicester losing with their tough finish to the season ahead means a win here makes thing interesting again.
I suspect we go 4231 with Nat Phillips being fit meaning Fabinho and Thiago match their midfield two and have more qualities. They are on a crest of a slump and missing key players in Ings, Taki , Bertrand and Romeu.
Set pieces are their obvious weapon and Phillips back should help with that.
3-1 win I reckon.
Thoughts?

Players are out, YNWA mournfully plays to an empty stadium and we’re nearly ready for the off.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #6 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:15:04 pm »

And we’re off with the reds attacking the ARE

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #7 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:17:16 pm »

2 Lively start from both sides. Saints win a corner, cleared by Trent.

For the last time…(fingers crossed!)

6 Lots of attacking intent from both sides but lacking in quality so far.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #10 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:23:55 pm »

8 Decent break from Jota but can’t slip Salah in on the edge of the box and Saints clear.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #11 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:25:27 pm »

10 Good chance. Trent plays a superb deep cross into the box, falls to Sadio and he skies a very presentable opportunity.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #12 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:25:55 pm »

Beautiful ball from Trent.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:31:17 pm »

15 More purposeful attacking from the Saints and they win another corner. Played in low, we clear and it’s another corner. Cleared by Ali’s punch.

Over to Tepid

TepidT2O · « **Reply #14 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:31:17 pm »

16 another corner to Southampton

A very odd game this so far, not really got going in some ways.

Alisson punches clear well.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #15 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:32:06 pm »

17 Mane with a brilliant first touch to beat his man, but crosses too close to the keeper

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:34:19 pm »

Has to cut that back.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #17 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:34:46 pm »

19 Gini to Jota in the area, he feeds it wide, it comes to Salah at a narrow angle, his shot is saved. The corner is cleared.

Then another corner to the reds. Phillips heads wide of the post. That’s the closest we’ve come to scoring from a start piece for about 3 months.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #18 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:38:59 pm »

23 Williams brings a player down who was about to go clear… ref says play on.. which looked generous… they might have got the decision but for a theatrical dive.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:39:53 pm »

FFS, just score

TepidT2O · « **Reply #20 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:40:34 pm »

25 brilliant.. Mane drives into the area, backheels ot to Jota, he cuts inside and shoots at the Keeper.

The corner is cleared, comes to Mo who shoots at the keeper again.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #21 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:41:02 pm »

26 Corner to the reds.. Gini heads it onto the bar.l

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #22 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:41:07 pm »

As usual opposition goal keeper having the game of his life.

They don’t score when I’m commentating. I think I’ve had one since January

I’ll turn off when you’re on comms in future.

28 Forster kicks it straight at Jota but all he can do is deflect it back to him…

At the other end, Redmond shoots into row Z

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #26 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:45:22 pm »

How did that not end in a goal?

TepidT2O · « **Reply #27 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:45:23 pm »

29 bloody hell.

Williams gets destroyed for pace. The ball is crossed and Adams shot is saved by Alisson magnificently

WEVE FUCKING SCORED…

Crossed into the area by Mo and Mane nods home from 2 feet.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #28 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:45:30 pm »

Tepid, you have a goal.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #29 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:46:15 pm »

What is more surprising Sadio scoring or Tepid actually commentating on it? Well in Sadio.

Over to Jill to ruin this beautiful moment

It was actually 30m10 seconds so it was officially on your watch.

It had to be said before the goal Alisson made a crucial save after we got caught up field.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #33 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:48:39 pm »

32 Southampton get a free kick on the half way line but we manage to nick the ball in midfield.

I’m not saying Williams is slow, but he’s developed a layer of moss since the start

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #35 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:50:13 pm »

34 Southampton looking to break quickly once again and a shot goes in across our box but it goes wide.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #36 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:51:14 pm »

35 A wonderful pass by Jota puts Salah in but hesitates and the chance goes, then Thiago puts in a nice shot but its blocked.

One of the full backs is generally so deep, obviously concerned about the lack of pace in the middle.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #38 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:53:17 pm »

37 Fab concedes a freekick, he won the ball but then the two players collide and the ref gives Soton a free kick, which comes to nothing.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #39 on:** May 8, 2021, 08:55:01 pm »

39 Southampton getting plenty of players forward looking for the equaliser and at the moment they are managing to nip in and get to the ball first.
