Southampton 1 v 1 Manchester City FA Premier League Saturday, 22nd January 2022 Kick-off 17:30 |
saint901 added 08:55 - Jan 24 I'm going to start by saying well done to RH. He saw that Redmond was off the pace and changed him early. He protected Bednarek and then Armstrong when they were carded by replacing them. He played with two strikers which meant that the City back line was unable to push on and support like we see them do when team sit back. Forster was exposed for their goal. City had three players waiting to head that in (although two of them had come from offside positions. The back four was tight and didn't allow much space even when Grealish (tart) dropped deeper to get the ball. KWP of course scored a really good goal. Romeu got under the skin of Grealish which I think he was unhappy about being the wind up merchant he usually is. JWP had a captains game and only ranks so low this week because his teammates stepped up to his level. Armstrong and Ely were solid with the former looking to move forward as often as he could. Forwards were busy all night and could have got a couple more with some luck. All round good performance but hat's off to RH. You need to log in to participate in Your Report | Your Report
