But they are allowed to put someone else in!
They always do, strange tactics or lack of fitness/ decent subs to bring on. Either way I've noticed it most games I've seen them.
Been saying this for weeks, Levy too slow again. Should have shot him before NewcastleIf mason was in charge ( or anybody other than Jose) in the game’s against Newcastle and Everton we would have won both and had an easy 4 points and would have had a great shot at top 4
I keep telling you that vibrator of yours takes those special MN21 batteries...
Should have shot him after Zagreb...
If you completely disregard the first 45 then sure.
The best part about tonight for me was not seeing Sissoko come on to 'see out a lead'
Unlike America we don't shoot people here.
As always I enjoyed the 3 points, by hook or by Crooks (and Archibald) in the first instance and who cares about the previous 96 minutes, hey what?
Putting it all in perspective I'm torn between (fcuk me) these players really wanted rid of the frozen one and/or is the win really that unexpected when you realise that Soton are bottom of the form table even below Sheffield U ffs!
Also not jumping on the bandwagon going overboard about Gareth (even tho I loves him to death) he's a luxury player who's does eff all except score the odd goal and wins us the game, whereas Moura works his little socks off and creates eff all...life's like that.:balescream:

Yeah but more stabbyUnlike America we don't shoot people here.
Well, maybe Levy should have stabbed him after Newcastle.
Like I said, the performance was poor in the first half but I thought our defenders were the better performers. Second half Southampton didn’t have sniff because we kept the fucking ball which relieved the defence of pressure.
It’s all the Ryan Mason fans I’m worried about. Just following him round from club to club. Oddballs.
(We should give them a nickname like MouAnon. Erm...the Masons?)
The defense played better because we had better control and possession in the 2nd half. We can't just look at these things in a vacuum.
And to your point the defense, especially the back 4, was fine in the first half outside of two instances (the amazing Hugo save right at the start and the very good header from Ings for the goal). It was the pressing positioning being off leading to huge gaps in the center of the park that was the main issue.
Nice one! They only have those two useless fucks Laporte and Dias as back up! Jackpot!
I agree with that, I even said it in the match thread, this was a constant thing happening with Mourinho (and if you look at the analysis, he had it at Man Utd too), hopefully we address that in the upcoming weeks.
Same thing but for different reasons. A lot of 2019 Poch in our pressing today. Bale called out the positioning in his post-match and he was 100% correct. But it's something that takes time so it's not a shock it was still haphazard.
