Player Valuation: £25m
Southampton out-tackled Spurs 28-20, they out-tackled Newcastle 25-14, and tackles were even in their game v City before Jay Rodriguez suffered a serious injury...they go on to lose 19-10.
Cardiff and Villa then make more tackles than them in the games after Rodriguez's injury.
As a psychology graduate, I find this sort of phenomenon after a serious injury very interesting. It suggests hesitation. a lack of commitment in an individual (in this case a group of individuals). Southampton cannot get into Europe, they cannot be relegated, but they do have several players who have a decent shout of going to the World Cup.
If we turn up on Saturday and show that we are committed, especially through our tackling, the current mental frailness of Southampton will be there for all to see. Keep an eye on the 50/50's this weekend.
