5string

Fair enough. Wasn't sure, hence question mark.

Tadic is starting to have an effect on the game. My desire to remove him would appear to be erroneous. Should've taken the penalty lol (I'm joking).

Gabbi... .. my goodness, what a save!! Good penalty, but blimey!

Penalty. Yellow. (should've been a red?)

Your comment's a bit late - was it meant for the end of the 1st half? But yeah, there is. Like Argentina 1978.

Haha I think he had a deflection that hit the bar once.

Now. Keep it going. They'll push and push - nothing to lose. We need to control the game and get another goal. Soon!

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOJJJJJJ!!! First goal. GET IN!!

Good defending Cedric, starts a break, chance to push and go... turns back. Old habits...

WTF!! Good save, to be fair. Still should've scored.

Free kick Saints... ... ooh just over!

Even supertankers take 20 minutes. We've been passing backwards for 8 months!

No changes at HT.

Quote from the BBC text commentary: "Southampton are swaying on the ropes." Let's hope we can do a Muhammad Ali and punch (not literally) a couple of goals to finish it.

I'd make the following changes (though I'm not the manager, so I'm willing to entertain alternatives): Carrillo off Tadic off Sims on Long on Gabby pushed up Keep it low, drive it hard forwards for Long to run onto. Watch out for their long balls with the wind.

Watch for their long ball tactics for the 2nd 45.

Getting a mite pee'd off with the commentators. Beckenbauer?!

Wheesht! Wake up, Saints! At the very least make some tackles.

Ok, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. Please specify which types of comments you're criticising: the ones bemoaning poor play the ones wishing Wigan weren't better in midfield the ones wondering why we don't have a League 1-beating philosophy 20 minutes into our first game with a new manager other. Your comment was fairly unclear so I was just hoping for a bit more clarity. If you don't want to give it: fair enough.

Explain...?

Old habits are hard to break. I'd take a scrappy 1-0 win today. Just... any win!

Kicking it forwards. Gotta start somewhere.

And then [Tadic] tried a right foot cross and it... kind of... wasn't great.

So it appears Tadic is on the right, Boufal on the left. Ok. Hmm.

Oh Boufal!
