Haha, just thinking that way we wouldn't have to read his nonsense, I doubt he understands a lot of the stuff posted on here, apart from the match threads of course.

Because I think Sissoko is shit?

Just watched thay kane chance in slowmo

Cant believe he missed. When he scores he generally always gets 2 plus would have been the 100 goals, last minute. It just had to go in

No the childish way in which you put your views across bud...make pretty painful reading.

At the time I was thinking he’s got to score. Then they showed a replay from an angle where in fairness to him it was tougher than it first looked. We would usually expect him to tuck it, such are his high standards. But from the replay I saw soon after, I did think it was a tougher chance than in the moment, especially on his weaker foot.

So you read live updates on twitter as opposed to actually watching the game yourself?

No, you gimp, I looked up what this open goal that he was supposed to have missed was. It turned out that I had seen it: it was hit hard by Davies and at waist height, more of a shot than a cross. Sissoko made contact, but it was already to his right when he did so.

Davies fault. Should have played it in slower.

Look, I understand the frustration but it's not that surprising.

Poch's attacking philosophy - especially against a stacked defence - is all about attrition. About controlling the game in midfield and forcing scoring opportunities by overwhelming possession. The DM's and CB's control possession and feed/recycle the ball over and over to the Front 4 until they score.

Bringing on Llorente would have meant opening the game up on the flanks - and therefore to the counter and ceding possession. Poch did as Poch usually does - he brought on Wanyama which freed Sissoko to play a much more aggressive role running at the offence. It kinda worked - Lamela and Kane should have scored the winner. And Poch wasn't going to have missed the fact that Southampton had already had several good chances on the break against us - he was NEVER going to increase that risk by bringing on Llorente and opening the game up even more.

You don't have to like what Poch does but we shouldn't be surprised by it. It's not like he's just arrived - this is what he's done since forever.

Trouble was that was far from a ‘stacked defence’, for 85 minutes the M3 motorway ran straight through to the Southampton 6 yard box, we just never got on it!

His left foot isn't that weak, he just made the wrong contact. Thanks for the long-winded excuse.

This probably got mentioned in here at the time - but I really loved after Kane scored - Kane grabbed Sanchez and was talking to him, telling him not to get down about the OG. Leadership.

No, it was no one's fault. Do you have some sort of binary logic issue?

He was probably telling him not to worry as it was that fucker Sissokos fault anyway.

Agree we needed to be much more attacking in the first 70 minutes. Problem was we looked vulnerable at the back ourselves.

When Poch brought on Wanyama though - Southampton were stacked in defence.

I can lip read and he actually said: "I've bailed you out there son, don't do it again, because I might miss the next one, particularly if it comes very late on."

Maybe Lamela's fault?
