Southampton v Leeds Utd Match Thread - Casilla, Cooper and Rodrigo all start

[Smudge3920]

Really scrappy 1st half, improved in the 2nd...soaked up the Sarfampton pressure, who got a little cocky as they had supporters in the stands, which was nice to see by the way... There was something about the way the boys played today, not upto par but you felt as if they were never going to lose it... I said earlier in the season when Rodrigo was fit, I love when he plays behind Bamford, today really showed it, lots of excitement to look forward to next year...MB really shook it up today huh, obviously doing the best he can for the internationals in the side to ensure they dont get hurt... Was happy for Roberts, that said he really should have laid it off to Paddy initially, but good to see him finally get one....Kiko a clean sheet huh, lets hope he was being watched by someone today... all in all, a good away win...10 away wins this season not to shabby...

FYI...Since "the god" took over... that was the 67th game we scored first and the 61st win after scoring first (3draws and 3 losses) again not to shabby...

Few good saves, couple of 'Kiko' moments but overall ok

Think Llorente was good for him first half, really gave him a pat on the back when he made a good stop

Get Captain vibes from Llorente.

Always talking and pointing.

He's unbelievable, went a bit mad on an upfield foray when he should have passed but he is top quality

Still feel like he was a bit of a panic buy too with Cooper njured but what a buy!

Good having fans back at games but not working with only one set it

Ref seemed to be easily influenced and was no atmosphere or reaction when we scored, commentators didn't even seem bothered

Who on earth would want to play for a team with fans like that, you'd have thought it impossible to create an atmosphere worse than one in an empty stadium but those "fans" managed it. The women staring at their phones 20 minutes in summed it up for me, I've seen more life in a Lidl meat pie, shame they didn't allow a dozen Leeds fans in

Cant disagree... he grows every game ...

[Carrick Dave]

I think Koch was the impulse buy, I think they were after Llorente for a while - might be wrong though.

Don’t think. Victor was wrong about either.

...Cant wait for next week looking more forard to the fans than the game ...

ps... Pablo (Capt) & Beradi to start next week... along with Cresswell, Huggins, Geldhardt and Somerville...

Absolutely no reason for Cooper to start next season.

£30m for the pair was a snip

Bielsa was sending Koch videos for something like 6 months before we signed him!

Nope SG

I think Marcelo is in a sentimental mood this week.

Casilla starting
Cooper starting
Berardi on at half-time
Resting Phillips & Llorente after 45 minutes
Koch & Klich given time to prepare for the Euros

Hopefully Pablo to captain Leeds on Sunday

Wouldn't think he was the sort would you

Yeah, you’re right, getting mixed up.

But still won't give youngsters a chance

I suppose Bielsa is rewarding those players who played in the championship

[SG90]

Amazing to think we went the whole season without an away draw!
