Have to disagree. I thought Theo caused them all sorts of problems with his speed and direct running which opened up space for others. He was a constant threat.

Lemina will not fancy this much. I'll be staggered if he lasts more than an hour.

Thought Diallo looked very good in the short time he was on the pitch. Ok, the game was won but he showed enough to suggest he's going to be a big player for us. He made himself available, controlled the ball first touch, passed and moved and generally looked very accomplished. Looking forward to seeing more from him.

Might want to check your maths.

Time to stop all this taking the knee nonsense.

Lots of doom and gloom on here. We lost by the odd goal to multi-million pound Man Utd who will be pushing for a top 4 spot. They knew they'd been in a game but probably deserved the win. There is a reason they are better than us and that's a thing called money. Get over this and move on to the next game but we are not suddenly a poor side just because we lose to Man Utd.

4 points from 2 games without Ingsy....what's not to like!

Good point against a tough opponent who are in the midst of a good run.

Even Sleepy Joe Biden wouldn't stoop to those levels of corruption.

It's a hamstring problem apparently.

Glad to see that, according to the Echo, the club have not allowed Jan to travel.

Very interesting article and it gave me a real tingle of appreciation for what Ralph is achieving. One of the things that resonated with me was the section about Ralph orchestrating the tempo from his technical area. It's got me wondering whether the absence of crowd noise has made his input from the sidelines far more effective because the players can hear loud and clear what he is instructing them to do. I imagine with a full stadium most of his shouting is swallowed up by the noise of the fans.

The club should be refusing to allow Vestergaard to travel.

Surely Jan will just have a test when he gets back?

At least we had a longer reign at the top than Spuds.

Now down to 3rd....dropping like a stone 🙂

Better for us to sit on the shoulder of the leaders and then pounce when it is too late for them to recover 🙂

Not sure if he is injured but I see Loftus-Cheek can't even make Fulham's first eleven - he is on the bench. Also, Lemina injured again and replaced by Reed.

Guaranteed to be top at 5pm today.

Thought the fantastic save came just after Armstrong put us two up but could be mistaken.

What a beautiful day. The sun is shining and Saints are top of the league after another very good performance. Positives; Ralph is our manager We play a brand of exciting attacking football which is entertaining and makes us proud We go into the weekend with three points already banked Every player is contributing to our success Another clean sheet We are fortunate in that every team we play has a bad day (well, according to their managers anyway) Adams is developing into a player who troubles the best defenders and is scoring some cracking goals An international break gives more time for our injured players to recover JWP and Romeu are bossing the midfield and weighing in with shots on goal and goals Jan must have found Billy's boots (if you remember the comic character) There is a spirit and togetherness about this team which is always a huge plus Mark Lawrenson has finally been forced to swallow his pride and start predicting wins for us however reluctantly Oh and we're top of the league Negatives None Up the Saints!

Another superb win with a weakened side. Well done lads and Ralph plus coaches. Playing lots of sparkling football and top of the league as well.

It is not just Ingsy's goals we will miss. His all round play, assists and work rate are all exceptional and this helps other players to score. I don't expect as many goals from other players without Ings in the side. Hope I am wrong.

Somebody on BBC comments for Fulham game claiming Aina's goal will be nailed on as goal of the month. Obviously didn't see Danny Ing's goal yesterday.

Not a great combination if your aim is to win football matches.
