Brentford Home Won 4 – 1
And so it came to pass that Covid didn’t thwart the Premier League’s plans to provide Southampton with five consecutive London opponents in their competition, the Brentford game becoming the first of our re-arranged fixtures. It was also a rare opportunity for the team to play in front of an owner, with The Dragan* shown […]
Swansea Away FA Cup 3rd Round Won 2 – 3 AET
Oh no, here we go again! Swansea entertained Saints in the FA Cup in an empty stadium, and with the stroke of a lawmaker’s pen, a 5:30 k.o. turned from a nuisance to a benefit. A strong XI took the game to the Championship side, with Redmond and Stuart Armstrong prominent in a lively beginning. […]
Spurs Home Drew 1 – 1
Spurs at home was the fourth consecutive game against a London club – it should have been five, but for the Brentford postponement. It was also the second game within 48 hours and Ralph went for wholesale changes, with his team looking as much like a like a list of substitutes as a starting XI. […]
West Ham Away Won 2 – 3
A run of three successive games in London ended at West Ham in front of what seemed to be an inordinate number of empty seats. It was wet at Arsenal, but then it briefly rained Southampton goals in the first half at Palace and the deluge continued at The London Stadium, with Elyounoussi‘s fine snap […]
Arsenal Away Lost 3 – 0
Against Brighton, Harry Lewis dutifully sat on the bench although McCarthy had clearly not convinced even himself of his fitness, in spite of a lengthy injury break opportunity to change things. He was in a similar position at Arsenal where Southampton fielded a keeper not too far off twice his age – nice work, if […]
Brighton Home Drew 1 – 1
We’ve tried most approaches up front, but the most obvious is Broja and Adams (two current international forwards) and they got the call against Brighton; also in the starting XI was Lyanco, with Bednarek nursing an injury. Both Southampton strikers were in early action but Sanchez denied Broja with his feet and then beat away […]
Leicester Home Drew 2 – 2
Back to a more familiar Southampton line up to face Leicester, with Peraud, Lyanco and Broja all making way – the last-in-first-out principle. Somehow Tella made it into the starting XI and impressed with his enthusiasm, which has never been in doubt. He also contributed an assist as part of a corner routine that surprised […]
Liverpool Away Lost 4 – 0
The trip to Liverpool started badly even before the blizzards of Storm Arwen made for a challenging journey north: The Echo reported on Friday that McCarthy would keep his place in goal, despite Anfield being a ground where Forster has performed with distinction. To be fair, Shilton, Flowers and Niemi combined couldn’t have done much […]
Norwich Away Lost 2 – 1
Norwich v Southampton was an unlikely fixture to make it to the record books, but Dean Smith’s rapid re-employment to end up facing the same opponents in successive games but for different clubs will make him a quiz subject for years to come. That, and a bunch of untidy goals, was just about enough to […]
