I love Tony, genuinely don’t have a bad word to say about him as I think his skills are mad, but he lacks killer instinct and would never have scored the chances edinson scored. Those were pure 9 goals In a perfect would, rashford or martial would be equally effective on the right thus we have all 3 players on the pitch dazzling I dont think its his killer instinct to be honest. Its his effort and attitude most of the time. He's another player like Pogba that puts the effort in when he seems to feel like it. OK nowhere near on the same scale but he still does it. Shame really as he has all the tools in his locker to become a belter of a player, he proved that last season.

It was meant tongue in cheek tbh Had forgotten my own ameoba reference and thought you were talking about Ameobi and had made a spelling mistake. The whole "they all look the same" kinda thing.

This is a pretty vItal game imo. As mentioned elsewhere, we were awful against their press in the last meeting so it falls squarely on the coaching staff to come up with a plan to combat it. You may face a keeper having a worldie, you could hit the post repeatedly, these things happen. But if we lose because we are surprised and unable to deal with their tactics, this will reflect very poorly on Ole. Credit where credit is due- we had no problems with their press today. We only struggled when we failed to take our chances. Tactically that was much more like it. Like last week, we are creating lots of chances but not converting anywhere near what we should be.

Where were you when we bottled 3 semi finals and lost to Palace , Arsenal and got thrashed by Spurs ? Or the lucky win against Brighton ? Ah yes, you were AWOL. Funny you turn up today isn’t it ? Another fair weather fan giving lectures.

Great comeback, good win.
Been thinking for a while that the diamond is our best fit for the season. Without a top, or even decent, right winger/attacker, then we should play to our strengths, let the players decide the formation* instead of trying to shoehorn players into areas they don't want to be in. If we could get a really top class number 4 in, to sit and dictate behind a 3 of either Fred or Scot alongside Donny, Bruno further up in the hole, then we could be onto something.
Defence still a massive concern though. A Kante style sitter would help them out, but still, the amount of chances we give away is ridiculous. I know the two goals were both set plays today, but they still had other chances and hit the post. Every week teams are creating 5 or 6 real opportunities against us, this has to stop if we are to have any chance of winning anything.
I said all summer we should get Cavani in. I never understood some of the reaction in the media to his signing, that it was a panic signing and shows we still don't have any strategy. Bollocks. He's a class act, experienced, and was a free. It was a no brainer and should have been done weeks before it actually was.
Finally, I (along with many, many others on this forum) first started touting Ward Prowse as a signing we should be making about 4 years ago. How on Earth is he still at Southampton when so many others have moved on from there? His set plays alone are worth 10-15 points a season, but he's a lot more than just that.
*By that, I don't mean sit the players down and ask "What formation do you think we should play?". I mean, if we have no right winger and lots of talent in centre midfield, then play a formation that doesn't really have a winger and manages to get a lot of the midfielders on the pitch in the areas they want to play in. Fuck 4-2-3-1 and asking "hmm, which poor sod gets stuck out wide right today then?"

You can't get on a match thread quick enough when we lose. Barely a sign of you otherwise you fucking hypocrite. The real question is where were you during the takeover and subsequent years under Fergie?? Probably with your husband enjoying corporate hospitality you fucking shill. You certainly weren't on here decrying the owners.

I'm going to say it in the hope I'm going to be made to look a twat, we have no chance of getting a result out of this game Twat you say... as I said nothing like a bit of reverse psychology, happy to take one for the team. when I used to go to matches it was uncanny, if I slagged a player of he would inevitably score

Another fair weather fan giving lectures. nobody is Abu but we have to criticise and praise where appropriate. today was a good win but we have to look how the team improves all the time. looking at this game our sloppy defensive mistakes still need to be addressed as does our lack of cutting edge upfront(those mistakes will define us as a top team or as an also ran)

I loudly, and angrily, declared Ronaldo would be nothing more than another Joe Cole in the pub once. I was pissed, and pissed off (think we were losing) and he was still in his early days, 2nd or 3rd season maybe. I got wound up seeing him try more step overs and flicks which came to nothing that I made that sweeping statement. Fair to say I was reminded of that many, many times over the years. I knew he would be a great player, just had too many beers that day.
