Southampton 1-2 Manchester United: Five Talking Points

Srihari

#2 Saints pay for their indecisive finishing

Ad

After the game, Ronald Koeman said that the lucky team won. While that was certainly true, the simple fact is that the Saints have now lost three games in a row. And their last two games against Arsenal and United, were games they could have and should have won.

But the difference is that they don't have clinical finishers in their side. For all of Pelle's goals, he still isn't what you call a predator inside the box. Even though he scored, the Italian striker still missed good opportunities, but the difference was Shane Long.

Van Persie had two chances and he scored two goals, but Long got none and that is the difference between the top sides and Southampton. That is something that Koeman has to work on if he has hopes of finishing in the top four.
