SOUTHAMPTON V WBA: Match Thread

I'd have Yacob in. Said so on the Pulis out post. Plus Phillips & possibly Brunt. The only 2 who regularly deliver good balls. Rodriguez wide is madness.

Yacob or McClean would have stopped the goal last night. Would have only been a booking, has he wasn't the last man.

Pulis said as much in his interview after the game. I think it's a contemptible statement for anyone, a manager especially, to make. If you can't stop them fairly foul them. Just what the game needs. Kick the flair players out.

Don't like to see it, but all the top six do it. We have this reputation of being a hard, thug team yet we loose all the 2nd balls and can't remember our last bad tackle. Yacob or Mcclean would have got a tackle in.
Bournemouth are the the so called football team,yet are one of the sneakest teams out .

1:0 f u c k me he got the ball on the edge of our box & went past 6 or 7 of our lads

I thought that run was matched by the efforts of JRod's two shots on goal....

I would be willing to bet you a quid to an inch of 5hit that Yacob would have stopped him.
Another question posed by the team selection is that when so many of our goals come from set plays why does Pulis leave the best deliverer of free kicks in the league sitting on the bench.

Your last point glm was referring to Brunt I assume and therefore couldn't agree with you more. It's interesting that statistically we win far more games when he's playing than when he's not. This insistence in playing Livermore, Krichouiak and Barry in the same side just isn't working.
