Yeah 4 clean sheets which included 12 shots saved. 10 of which came in the game against us. No amazing saves in our game except for the lucky one from Ozil.
Nothing special since his return
Nailed it P.
Several hollywood saves in there as well - intentionally diving late and going full spectacular.
A good way to win the public's attention and make yourself look like a world beater.
Nonsense, We often have the wrong formation using a single stiker, when there should be at least two competent strikers on home soil, against most sides thrown at us in this current season. This is the same all over the premiership currently, Vardy providing much consistency in this season, and not many teams have the firepower. Who knows what happens later? Which is why the tables are all over the place. But our team often has a lack of quaility strikers scoring consistently, and the mid feild are having to run further to do that job. By the time they get there. Well you know what happened next, it is often right at the goalie. All goalies are paid to stop a ball. Yes of course he made some good reaction saves and he fills the box. These are excuses, it is his job. We had some chances, but there was nothing that he didn't see coming.
This is proved by our goal record throughout this season. I agree their goalie was the man of this match, and he possibly makes a fine edition to the national side.
There is also a lot more to that match to be considered, where Southampton were also only playing for the point, until if conceeding, it meant they were on lockdown until goaded out of their box. But in order to pick them apart, we needed more than that bar room brawl, of hit or miss. It started to improve later when we started throwing all the guns at them, but it wasn't enough.
