Southampton 2 v 2 Leeds United FA Premier League Saturday, 13th August 2022 Kick-off 15:00 |
Bawdrip added 20:04 - Aug 13 First half was scrappy with lots of tough tackling but little skill. Leeds scoring 30 seconds after the restart with some terrible marking from us was poor and then went two nil up again with poor marking. Game looked dead and buried and Leeds were over confident/ran out of steam. Saints came back very strongly with some good substitutions (at one point we had five strikers on) and scored twice. In the end a draw was a fair result. Happy considering we were 2-0 down and dead and buried. Bawdrip added 20:07 - Aug 13 First half was scrappy with lots of tough tackling but little skill.

We still look bad when defending crosses, very obviously, but overall I thought we fought back pretty well. Young Sekou Mara had a great assist for KWP's equalizer but we desperately need to add a proven striker to the group. codge added 23:50 - Aug 13 Bednarek needs to leave always someone else to blame when we concede a goal.Really pleased with the comeback but couldn’t see it happening to be honest.l hope we can show the same spirit that we had at the end next week,and hope we get the starting eleven correct at last. AmericanSaint added 00:43 - Aug 14 Well we did ok in the end. After watching the game, I am starting think to need to stop this 3 CBs and WB formation as it leaves us exposed in midfield. RH has got to see this. While it may cause him to drop Mousa, KWP on right and Parraud on left will allow more defense when needed. We need to go back to 4-4-2. Che, Djenepo and Lavia had the best games of the starters and AA and JA really pushed their defense when they had the ball. Don't know why JS was brought on, but all the other subs did their part to help us fight back. I know we have problems, but man glad we are not MANU, who are in shambles. Hahahahaha EvertonSaint added 09:50 - Aug 14 I have to admit, I was very impressed with the new youngsters. Total commitment and signs of quality. What a pass from Mara for our second goal. Why wasn’t ARIBO on from the start? RH team selection was again questionable and as for three at the back, when will he wake up? Well done the newbies. Che Adams was awful, failed to hold the ball up and only confirms that he is not PL quality. Add Elyounossi, Jack Stephens to the list. Block8 added 11:44 - Aug 14 Just a point of interest for all of you blaming Bednarek for our poor defensive performance, both goals were down to Salisu leaving his man! Bawdrip added 13:52 - Aug 14 The comment re Che Adams is really unfair. He was a nuisance all game and played a big part in both goals. For the first he did a great flick for Adam Armstrong to run on to and for the second he brought the ball down well and shielded it before laying it off and we scored.
