Match Threads Southampton vs Spurs - FA Cup 4th Round Match Thread

[WiganSpur]

Thought we were good until we visibly started to tire the last 20 minutes or so.

Another game gives Jose chance to play Ndombele and Lo Celso together

If only the ref has been more partial and gave yellows accordingly earlier the game.

Happens every game we get bullied with no ref protection I feel we’re a bit nice as a team also we don’t get at the ref enough.

 

[Pellshek]

Really impressed by the way our boys fought for each other today. Game got quite physical, and they were up for it.

 

[OPModric]

Overwhelmed in central midfield deep in our half again. The case for a decent DM is as compelling as ever

Yes, but playing Alli in that position who still believes his most important job is to run in the channels, then you just got yourself to blame.

 

[VegasII]

I thought it would be a score draw but annoying not to hang on for the win. I think we’ll win the replay.

Fucking sign a striker Levy!

 

[glacierSpurs]

Fuck the lads. Half the team has no desire. Sometimes I really wish they cut the sportsmanship of chatting immediately after the game. Gave me the impressions no one bothers as much as we do if they can speak so casually immediately after poor results.

 

[CowInAComa]

A relentless idiot, it's professional negligence to keep trusting the clown.

'a relentless idiot.'

excellent. couldnt be put more perfectly.

 

[VancouverSpur]

Son should have come off he looked absolutely knackered and players were running past him like he was not there.

 

[worcestersauce]

Replay then, I'm washing my hair that night, honestly we ain't going to win this if we can't even win a tie in one game, I'm despondent.

 

[daveduvet]

Glc good at times again. Lamella works hard. Lots of giving the ball away. Son always dangerous when he’s on the ball - albeit looking tired

 

[taricco]

Meh. I’d have taken this before the game - Southampton are in good form. Decent result.

 

[teok]

It honestly looked like we were playing with 9 men at the end. Bizarre. The team is such a mess I couldn't even figure out who was out of position?

 

[wrd]

Didn't want a winter break anyway. Think we would have benefited from Ndombele on to hold onto the ball more as we absolutely could not hold it further up the pitch with Moura and Son.

 

[L-man]

Another learning curve for our young boys

 

[SugarRay]

Sums up Aurier to be honest. Even when he is seemingly having a good game, he has ridiculous bits of play up his sleeve. Not sure any manager can trust or afford to have a defender like than in his side. Ger rid in the summer.

Thing is, he did the hard bit, just fucking get rid of it! He had won the ball but went for the extra touch then lost it.
He cuts the frankly, completely avoidable errors out of his game and he’s a really, really good player. Doubt he ever will though.

Against Norwich I said my mate next to me, based on that game and what we’d seen you’d never ever consider taking Aarons over Aurier. Such a frustrating player

 

[Havre]

Whilst it is Auriers fault, and im a big fan of him, i resent the idea that we just allow teams to attack us as soon as we either go ahead or even to protect a draw. Pressure invites mistakes.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think it is solely Aurier's fault that we are not winning, but it is quite astonishing that he doesn't just play it simple there. Southampton are tired and desperate. I was 9 when I understood you only have to play the simple pass under those circumstances and space will open up.

 

[theShiznit]

Wasteful.

Gio head and shoulders above everyone else. Not sure why we are waiting to activate his January option?

We tired quite badly but Wednesday to Saturday with a day less rest was always going to be hard.

Still in the pot.

 

[Marty]

Shame is actually a defender then...

In the old days pre-PL he'd be a RM in a 4-4-2. Having to do some defending but always a man behind to cover.

 

[ilikeost]

This isn't a dig for Winks, but did he touch the ball in the second half?!

He had a terrible game. Not the only one though.
