melmacian_saint Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 What a performance. Simply great, has to be up there with the best since St.Mary's emerged from the ground. Completely dominated, lots of intensity, high-tempo passing, breaking into positions, outrunning them in every position and even those who aren't really up to it showed that a little confidence can take you to do a job (Fox and Hooiveld I mean, but my opinion about them as players won't change, but credit they were ok today). Some beautiful attacking football and a team that slowly is hitting the headlines every now and then. MOTM for me either Lambert (never seen someone create so much space with a simple touch of the ball) or the Ginga Ninja Steven Davis, electric player who really transmits intensity and tempo to our attack and very composed on the ball. Schneiderlin and Cork > Barry and Nasri. Rocking atmosphere. Really happy times at SMS. COYR!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Hands up who predicted 3-1 to Saints? P.s. why the **** didn't I put my money where my mouth is???? FFS A guy sat near us apparently did together with punch to score first. Reckons he won 2 grand. Fair play. Oh, and what a performance. Lambert, maya, jos, j-rod, Davis all exceptional, and cork and schneiderlin were even better. I genuinely wouldn't swap those two with any other prem midfielders at the moment. Best result in years. Well done and thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 October 2010 - Jason Puncheon is booed off by (a minority of) his own fans in League 1 and ends up getting loaned to Millwall a week later. January 2011 - Jason Puncheon slags off Cortese on twitter having been frozen out completely and flopped on loan at QPR. February 2013 - Jason Puncheon scores the opening goal in a convincing 3-1 win against the English Champions and celebrates by wiping his arse on the corner flag, whilst 5,000 fans in the Northam sing, "Jason Puncheon, he sh*ts when he wants." Hands up who predicted that a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Lambert was a class act, He was the key man for us and made the hard work of everybody else Cork especially, into goals and worked the City defence over.unfortunately for NA he had a blind spot when it came to RL being a top PL striker,in the end decisions/judgement like that cost him his job.

Chez Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 hard to pick a MOTM. Lambert was tremendous, his first touch even under extreme pressure was sublime, but then so too was Cork's industrious play and Jos managing to keep a lid on £50m worth of striking talent.

Just as he does every week on 3-1! Couple of quid that he put on pays for a years bets !! Happy days Hooiveld had one of his best games for us. Sensational after I thought he might struggle. My MOM. Cork and Lambert not far behind. Fox had a decent game, Clyne done ok, Morgan is just so good it's ridiculous, J-Rod run his balls off and caused them lots of problems. Davis also very very good. Struggling to see how Gaston is going to get back into the side at the moment? Lallana came on and gave us a bit of calmness and had some fantastic little moments where he could have just booted, it but got it down and found a man. Great performance all round and special mention to MP. It's all coming together ! Dare we dream and start believing the European job ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redder freak Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 BBC 'Manchester City gifted Southampton victory with a series of glaring defensive errors.'

pingwing Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Well me and a mate had Steven Davis down as motm! He did everything that the new guy was expecting and more from this high pressing game, deserved several goals and a starting position for a while from that performance! Cork and morg as well as maya an jos were all excellent but Steven Davis was that player they had no answer for today, too much energy and enthusiasm for city's liking. So pleased with the result as well, by far the better side over 90 mins, no idea why it was 5 of extra time but we won! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katalinic Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 One of, if not the best performance by a Saints side since we moved to SMS - I am genuinely struggling to think of one better and in the context of top flight aginst the current Champions.

LGTL Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 I picked Steven Davis as MOTM. Absolutely superb today, he will flourish under MP. Hard to see Gaston getting back in at the moment.

Whitey Grandad Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Blew them away! They couldn't handle the pressure and eventually made mistakes. Couldn't fault anybody, Davis worked his socks off, Cork was everywhere as was Spider, Lambert was the perfect target, J-Rod had them worried with his pace, Jos won everything in the air, but most importantly they all worked for each other. Shame about the poncy corner that just invited them to run up and score, I'd have liked a clean sheet. I've treated myself to a pint tonight. I'm looking forward to one after every game from now on.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Great, just a great performance. Special mention to Foxy, thought he did well and his quick free kick pass from left to right to Lambert contributed to second goal. Joy Rod, Davis, and Cork were all top quality. But MoTM was Lambert, I thought he was different class today. To play like that with lallana, Gaston and Shaw not starting bodes well. Great day, results great. We're staying up.

norwaysaint Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Cork and Morgan really are the ones that make us a match for any team on our day. When was the last time we had a midfield pairing that was the equal to any of the big teams? Surely we'd have to go all the way back to Ball and Williams. I think this pairing will be a benchmark for our team for years to come. I was also wondering when we last had a right side pairing to match Clyne and Puncheon. Can anybody help me out with our last great attacking pair down the right? I'd take them over Telfer/Dodd and Fernandes any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
