Saints slipping Halo apparently.

[Monaco_Totty]

Latest stats out are stating Leeds have conceded 22 shots on target with Meslier saving 16 - only Millwall (21) have allowed fewer shots on their goal this season.

Leeds have also conceded the fewest total shots (79) compared to the rest of the Championship & are the only team conceding an average of less than 10 per game.

To put into context, the Saints are currently conceding 2.67 goals per match !

Southampton manager Martin’s philosophy in playing football is for his team to be possession-based, as the more his side can control the ball, the more they will, in theory, control the game. So far this season, they have averaged 67.7% possession, which is the highest in the division but with little reward.

So it's gonna be one of those cagey games again, for sure & hopefully a few moments of inspired individual skill will see us okay.

Keep saying it. You can have as much of the stats as you want it's what you do with it. To me having more possession means you're controlling the ball but eventually, you tire out and teams knock you off. Unless of course your City and you can bring on another half first team.
