That is because you have not been following the more salacious gifs posted by Mentalcase

I have been reading a Southampton fans forum to see what they think about tactics and formation, but there is not even a whisper. For a good 5 pages it is all about what kit they will be allowed to wear. There seems to be a pathological desire to be allowed to wear their red kit, as though it has so...

Dreamt of losing on sunday the last couple of nights so I hope it’s a case of the opposite happening. From a scientific standpoint, dreams are largely understood through the lens of neurology and psychology. The brain processes information during sleep, consolidating memories and emotions, which ca...

Feckin top post again ! Especially the top bit. I think Gray's gotta start RB, we haven't played with 3 enough times for it to work, and have Roberts waiting eager to come on. Gray did well attacking again tother neet Yes i could see that welsh connection of Roberts/James doing some damage in the l...

Compared to Conner, how many goals has Archie scored drom right back... none... Conner at least one goal and an assist.

How to Neutralize Southampton’s Tactics Bypassing the Press: Use quick, direct passes to bypass Southampton’s high press. This could involve longer balls to exploit space behind their pressing midfielders. This has not been the way Farke has been playing, it is usually slow tippy tappy from the back...

Who controls the midfield wins the final and I had a look at the threats Posed by Will Smallbone and Flynn Downes Will Smallbone: Technical Ability: Smallbone is technically proficient with good vision and passing range, capable of dictating the tempo of the game. Versatility: He can operate both as...

Chants are a legal weapon that can be used to demoralise both the opposition team and quieten their fans. Ask Ashley Barnes how he felt at the barrage of insults directed at him. The Southampton fans are embarrassed to have Rishi Sunak as a supporter and Leeds supporters should make a chant about th...

Klopp doesn't rank... he is rank.

Remember how he raged at Pascal for his challenge on Elliot

We managed Sara and Rowe for Norwich, same again for Fazer and Armstrong.

Easy Peasy

Does Russell Martin have the hump over his past relationship with Daniel Farke? Daniel Farke dropped Russell Martin from the Norwich City lineup primarily due to a combination of tactical decisions and performance considerations. Does that leave Russell with the feeling he is not good enough? Will i...

It would require Georgie to become a midfielder out of possession but that's OK it did wonders for Joelinton at Newcastle and we know Georgie isn't afraid of tracking back. How often have we seen good results from Geogio picking the ball up deep and making a killer pass to the forwards to score a g...

I didn't know that those south coast boys were such fashionistas... who would have thought it was so important which strip you wore in defeat.

They say it is good to know your enemy and with that in mind i looked at one Southampton forum and to my surprise it was bereft of any technical analysis. Instead their two main concerns was satorial elegance, and the embarrassment of having Rishi Sunak as a supporter. The red colour of their socks ...

In the game where Leicester City defeated Southampton 5-0, Leicester employed a 4-3-3 formation. This setup featured a dynamic front three and a solid midfield, which allowed them to control the game and exploit Southampton’s defensive weaknesses, especially since they will often send their full bac...

Let's hope for a nasty game. Vicious tackles. Red cards. No penalties though. We don't want a team winning on penalties as that will mean they'll have a psychological edge should the final go to penalties. I counted at least 3 penalty shouts for Southampton... it may well be a tactic they. will exp...

If he could pass the ball with the same speed he grows his hair, Southampton would already be in the League one!

You look at both those results and the winning team had about 35% possession. In fact if you look at most of their losses the magic number for opposition possession was between 30 and 35%. That’s as much to do with southamptons tactics as anything else but they are heavily reliant on transitions an...

The main thing I took away from the last game was that if you press Southampton high they will conceded possession. Think we have to be really on the front foot against them and we'll get rewards! And also shooting from the 18 yd box... Alex McCarthy is vunerable... lets not try and walk it into th...
