Chapter 252 Frustration
The difficult victory of this game did not let Redknapp relax his vigilance. As Southampton's performance is getting better and better, more and more teams will definitely choose this way to deal with Southampton. This is not good news. If this continues, the team may be in trouble soon!

Redknapp's prediction was completely correct. Before he had time to make more adjustments, Southampton faced Fulham in the seventh round of the league. Everyone is currently a mid-range team, but Fulham simply set up the bus, as if they wanted to vent their unwillingness to lose to Chelsea in the last round on Southampton.

For an opponent of this level, it is really uncomfortable to set up a bus. In the whole game, facing the opponent's defense, Southampton didn't even have a few chances to shoot. Instead, the opponent frequently used counterattacks to threaten the goal.

At the last moment of the game, Southampton, who started to worry, pressed heavily. The opponent took advantage of the opportunity to hit two counterattacks in a row, and finally lost the game at home.

Fulham coach Chris Coleman's tactical arrangement this time has achieved very good results, and he also received praise after the game.

On the contrary, Redknapp's on-the-spot command has been questioned by many people. It is clear that the team's arrow Fuller is not in good condition in this game, but he has not been replaced for a long time.

In this regard, Redknapp directly responded to the media's doubts after the game and defended his disciples.

But when he actually returned to the office, Redknapp still felt very aggrieved. The opponent used his best method to defeat him at his own home court. No matter who encountered this kind of thing, he would feel very uncomfortable.

"Harry, the players seem to be in a good mood. Although the loss of this game is a bit uncomfortable, everyone is quite satisfied with our results!" Taylor, who had just learned about the emotions of the players, opened the door and walked in, reporting the situation to Redknapp.

Redknapp nodded. This was within their expectations. After all, they were newly promoted, and such results were indeed satisfactory, but he had already seen a huge crisis from it.Southampton's struggling performance in these two consecutive games will definitely be noticed by other opponents. I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before they learn from it. It is difficult to handle.

"Fortunately, we still have time to deal with this situation. At least, there will be no worries about this in the next game!"

Redknapp looked at the schedule posted on the wall, and saw a name written after Fulham - Arsenal!

"Theo, we are going to fight, aren't you looking forward to it!"

Yunfei was not at all surprised when he received a call from Walcott. If the other party didn't make this call, he would.

"Yeah, I just don't know if it's possible for me to start."

Walcott's mood is more complicated. He has a feeling of seeing his ex, and he must hope that he can face it with the best posture.

"Relax, it will be a matter of time before you start!" Yunfei comforted Walcott.

Walcott has had the opportunity to play in almost every game recently, and his performance is also remarkable. Recently, the doubts about him in the media have become less.

"I hope I can start. It's been a long time. Let me see how far you have improved!"

Arsenal Colney training base.

Looking at the scout report in his hand, Wenger seemed in a good mood.

Arsenal's recent performance is not bad. After the draw with Middlesbrough, Arsenal ushered in a wave of three consecutive victories, including a victory against their old rival Manchester United.

In the standings, Arsenal has already tied with Manchester United, ranking third in the league because of the disadvantage of goal difference.

After the two rounds of the league, the form of the standings has undergone great changes. Portsmouth, which was ranked first before, finally could not maintain its good form after the start of the season. Coupled with the fact that they encountered relatively strong opponents, as many people expected, their results began to decline.

After a wave of two consecutive losses, they directly fell to the fifth position in the standings. It can be expected that their performance will gradually decline until they reach the middle of the league.

Manchester United and Chelsea lost each other and each had a draw. Therefore, Chelsea is still at the top of the standings with a two-point advantage. It is also because the two teams have lost the chain.

"Pat, what do you think about the next game?"

Putting down the scouting report in his hand, Wenger looked at his assistant and asked.

Both of them are no strangers to Southampton. Since last year, Wenger has been paying attention to this club because of the player's problems. He did not expect that the opponent's momentum is so strong, but within one season, the opponent has become his opponent.

"Southampton seems to have encountered some trouble recently. The counterattack they are good at has begun to be targeted by others, and it is not easy to play. But we must not be able to bust, so it is not easy to beat Southampton. Now for Southampton, it may be easier to win against a strong team than against a weak team!"

Rice is well aware of the horror of this kind of team and their lethality to the giants, but although the opponent has exposed their problems, Arsenal cannot effectively use them.This is determined by the status and strength of the two teams.

Wenger nodded slowly, looking at the familiar names on the opponent's roster. For this team, he can be said to be very familiar with it. Yunfei, Bale, etc., these players have been inspected in detail by Arsenal's scouts.That is because of familiarity, so he is very aware of the difficulty of this opponent.

"At present, it seems that the best way is to use our strong midfield strength to crush the opponent. Southampton's defense is not solid. We only need to score more goals than them!"

For Rice, this is not something to think about. Arsenal have their own pride. At home, they can only attack and attack again, and there will be no other options.

Having said that, Wenger is still a little worried. The opponent's sharp counterattack is quite threatening, and although Southampton's defense is not solid, Arsenal is not much better. After Campbell left, Arsenal's defense has no particularly reliable candidates. The defense that used to be the most reassuring for him has now become his most troublesome place!
