WHUFC vs Southampton -- December 14th, 2019

Fredericks gets booked for a dodgy tackle - so that'll balance out him causing Snoddy to get booked in the first half...

Haller and Antonio are trying to form a partnership

we're currently 25th in the table... lowest of three teams on 19 points... thanks to our terrible goal difference.

a clean sheet today is as important as a victory.

interesting stat... next year will be the tenth anniversary of the 2 Daves taking over the club... and if we don't start heading up the table... it'll be their 5th relegation battle...



Martin looks dodgy form the Soton corner but the long range shot is way wide...

Ings slams the ball against the cross bar... but it bounces out not in... a lucky escape... leaving players unmarked in the box is kinda our M.O.

20 minutes to go... we mustn't give them cause for hope...

and then Soton hit the post again, this time being flagged offside... but boy... we do try to shit the bed as often as we can...

social Media will be happy... Snodgrass is being brought off. Not sure why they think he's so terrible, he's one of our better players.

Yarmolenko comes on to replace.

Antonio and Haller both miss the incoming cross...

Ings fires a long range shot past the diving Martin but the whistle had already gone for a foul...

Haller's header brings off an acrobatic save at the other end... corner to us.

what the fupp??????

Carlos Sanchez is going to come on to replace Haller? Just as he's developing an understanding with Antonio...

fupping stupid decision if it happens...

we finally see two players teaming up.. so the manager decides to fupp it up and break them up...

take off Noble...

this decision by itself should get Pellegrini the sack.

now we're back to one up front...

what shitty tactics.

yes, there's an argument to make for holding onto the game and not chasing another goal... but I just don't buy that in this game in this position...

ten minutes to go.

Soton pressing in search of an equalizer...

5 minutes to go

and Soton go close... really close...

finally noble comes off... Diop replaces.

Cresswell gets the Captain's armband.

Noble gets rousing applause from the traveling fans...

Free kick to Soton right on the edge of the penalty area... wasn't a foul but of course they don't bring in VAR for this stuff.

free kick is straight at the keeper and Martin saves.


4 minutes of added time

soon grab the kitchen sink and throw everything at us...

Sanchez tries to clear but slams his ball against one of us... ends up with a Soton corner...

another Soton throw...

Martin gets a yellow for time wasting...

then goes down with an injury as he takes the goal kick.

we've used all our subs, so if he goes off we're in even more danger... plus the time will be added back on...

Martin will stay on... drop ball in the venter circle...

the whistle goes and that is the end of the game...

Pellegrini looks very happy... but he really needs to go

this changes nothing

it's great to get a victory but the overall problems still remain.. and the tactical bollix of trying to stop Haller and Antonio developing any kind of relationship up top is shameful.
