How many teams try to play out from the back and don’t have the players to do so.
This whole Pep fad is ridiculous, you even see League Two sides doing the same.
Just kick the f****r long.

I agree.
It's cringeworthy sometimes it really is.
So glad we don't do that shit.

I think now the pundits have woken up to the way we play they're all getting behind it. It's probably because they were all playing before this Pep style football emerged and they're encouraged to see the football they played returning. I thought Ferdinand and Crouch were very complimentary the other night for example.

And we seem to be single handedly enlightening people on the difference between being in control of the game and having the majority of the possession. I'm loving the way we play. It so much reminds me of the way we played under Cloughy. And as others have said, watching us break away at pace, and knowing it can happen at any moment, is much more entertaining that the back four passing it to each other and eventually losing it.

Big game tomorrow, no underestimating Southampton, but it would be really nice to win by a good margin.

It would be nice although I'd just take a win.
They do have some pace we need to deal with but our pace should have more quality.
I expect a difficult game.
Most of Southamptons heavy losses have come at home.
Their away games are normally tight.
