LCFC 2-0 Southampton - Post-Match Thread

[Trumpet]

“Shane Long’s about to come on. 20 games without scoring”

 

[Clever Fox]

A great win against difficult opponents. Wilf MOTM. followed by Evans and JJ and Albrightons defensive play.

[Bryn]

Kasper, Evans, Soyuncu, Justin, Ndidi, Tielemans, Albrighton and Barnes all class.

 

Thought surprisingly Castagne and Vardy looked the weakest links, not by a lot though.

 

Maddison fluffed two key passes as well.

Kasper was class tonight.

Southampton are so good. Tactically brilliant and technically superb. Huge W tonight.

Thought they were quite ragged last 25 mins. That happens when a team comes up against quality opposition.

That's about as hard fought as they come. The resilience of our team is impressive and it looks like we have learned a lot from last season and even from earlier this season.

 

Another striker is looking more and more important with Vardy looking injured.

 

We are definitely contenders for the title whatever other people say.

I actually disagree. They create nothing up front. They play with tempo and movement - but not impressed

 

 

They were missing Ings, Romeu, Redmond and Vestergaard. Their bench had an average of 12. First half they were the better side. Second half we tactically nullified them. 

[Silva Fox]

5 points from safety! 

[An Away Move]

I’m going to be pissed off if Vardy has strained his hamstring, not gone off when he did it, done a few sprints and then not iced it after finally being subbed. 
Hopefully the reason none of that happened is because it’s just tight. 

[Jaspa]

Great win. Really took control second half, Caglar really added some brawn. MotM Wilf - had a huge battle on in midfield and he was a warrior, a winning one.

 

Will say though I think a Southampton with Ings would've caused us much more problems. They're struggling for goals and there a very well structured, disciplined side which works very hard.

 

Hope Vardy's ok. Get Edouard in anyway, possibly another midfielder too because without Praet we look light and Your looked abit leggy first half.

[Fox seen in Norwich]

2nd season running top 4 half way (almost). It’s not a dream it’s actually fact. We are in the pack, we are the real deal, not a cheap imitation.

 

just step back and digest that. Amazing. I love this club ❤️ 

[Clever Fox]

To me. Vardy never looked right all night. Every run looked labored.

Thought they just looked knackered, was really clear they had nothing up front as well.

[Wizerud]

It's gonna be forever but one day Maddison will have a job in media waiting or him.

Great advert for the premier league that. 2 very good teams.

Feels like I’m repeating myself every week but Wilf and Tielemens were absolutely unbelievable again.

They are really special special players. If we can keep them 2 fit, in this open league, we can win this league.

Concerned about Vardys injury and also he was a bit off it tonight. He ran his socks off and touches were ok but he just looks nervous in front of goal and made some strange choices at times. Reminded me of the game Vs Palace when he got his 100th goal. Hopefully he’ll come back stronger. Might be out for Chelsea at this rate though.

 

Wilf MOM for me and Youri a close 2nd but I think I need to give credit to each and every player tonight.

That was as good as we’ve played, against a very good team. We won our battles all over the pitch, pressed high and very good movement and technical ability to create moments, but also keep very good discipline at the back.

Every one of them deserves a huge pat on the back.

Fantastic boys.

Well that's totally cocked up@SkySportsPL
for tomorrow. I bet they had the 1st vs 2nd montage ready to go. #biased #LCFC #PremierLeague

 

😆😆

 

 

 

[Hales]

Well done to them all for the goal celebrations too. They have listened and done as they have been asked. Good bunch this team!

[Merging Cultures]

Drop TC for RP? 

 

JJ is one of the first names on the team sheet for me.

[Vacamion]

 

Madders grassing up Snodgrass.

Two great assists from Tielemans. Assured performance today and was good with defence too.

I think it was the state of the pitch and all the work they put in caught up on them eventually. They gave it a real go though.

Did anyone see Nachos reaction? Wasn't one of joy... The guy was offside when youri was about to pass. Seriously need another striker and offload Nacho. Great win and deserved

Stop trying to find something. He didn’t have much to do tonight but was a willing runner and did his job. I imagine he was just disappointed not to get the chance to redeem himself

Camera showed him smiling as he came off the pitch so hopefully just a strain?

I thought Cags looked excellent when he came on.

 

Seconded.   I absolutely love how calm and laid back Cags was amongst all of lung bursting madness-  a truly ice cold Rolls Royce amongst the exhausted chaos!   

[LCFCCHRIS]

Loved that press second half. Really kept them in their half of the pitch. Barnes should absolutely not be made into a central player as some want, why move him when's he's scoring so well from there, get vardy firing on all cylinders or whoever comes next and we'll have so many threats in the team.
