They don't really hate Rustan but why did he choose a winter transfer? Southampton still need to compete in this season. That's what made Southampton fans hate Rustan.

If only Rustan left next summer, Southampton fans wouldn't hate him that much.

In this match Southampton again used defensive tactics. Having played Arsenal a few times, George understood try to compete with Arsenal on possession ball was wrong. Every Arsenal player had been trained so well by Arsene Winter in the passing aspect. Therefore trying to take possession of the ball from Arsenal's feet was simply stupid.

In the 4th minute, Santi Cazorla sent a pass to Rustan. But when Rustan received it, Kounde immediately made a tackle to bring down Rustan.

After dropping Rustan Kounde took the time to say to the player, "Sorry but I won't let you use your speed in this match mate."

"Go! Go! Southampton."

"Yeaaah! Let's give that Gunners 2 more goals!"

"We love you K9!"

The nickname Holy Ninja Kazuki began to be rarely used when Kazuki no longer only relied on gaps but also became a complete striker. Meanwhile, Southampton fans called Kazuki with a new name, namely K9 or often read Knight as a pun on Knine. Since then, the number 9 had became a number that was very closely related to this Japanese player.

After the goal, Arsenal started the kick-off. This goal clearly messed up Winter's strategy. With this goal Southampton could take the advantage by using a counter-attack strategy. Stacking players in the back row seems to be a strategy that had proven to be effective against Arsenal.

Who was Arsene Winter's most hated opponent, in the premier league? Not Sir Alex but Mourinho! In Mourinho's first period coming to England, Arsene Winter was irritated by Mourinho's bus parking tactics. He felt Mourinhi's strategy was shameless and showed no fighting spirit.

However, thanks to Mourinho, everyone knows better how to stop Arsenal.

In the 8th minute, Santi Cazorla provided a pass to Mikel Arteta. Arteta spun around and dodged Rudolf then passed the ball to Walcott. Walcott was immediately surrounded by Ryan and Freddy, he tried to break through Freddy but failed. Freddy gave the ball to Ryan. Ryan turned around and passed Bennett.

Just now Bennett received the ball he immediately dropped by Cazorla. Cazorla's was clear to destroy Southampton's counter-attack. Benner complained to the referee.

"Referee, did you see that? He brought me down again for the second time. I believe this is a good time to give the guy a yellow card," Bennett complained.

"I just touched you a kido, don't be too whiny, if you don't want a physical confrontation just play with the doll," Cazorla quipped.

The referee did not give a yellow card, but he still gave Cazorla a warning. Bennett was quite satisfied with this result, once again Cazorla dropped it then the yellow card would fly. That way Cazorla would definitely think more about dropped Bennett.

Meanwhile, Cazorla also did not mind the referee's warning. For him not to receive a yellow card was already a good thing. In this match Cazorla and Bennet will mark each other.. While Cazorla took down Bennett, there would be times when Bennet would also have to take down Cazorla.
