Charlie Nicholas praise

[Saintru]

Watching soccer saturday and Nicholas was full of praise for the team. He particlularly picked out:

Clyne, said it was the best game he has seen him play

Yoshida, read the game well

The defence - apart from the corner

JRod - Where did he find his pace? Nicholas said when he was at Burnley I thought he was ok, but he is a different player

Lambert - He mentioned that he gave the centre backs a torrid time with his movement. Asked by Geoff S who would you have Torres or Lambert? Answer Lambert 100%

Cork - Very solid

The forwards - Chelsea struggled to cope with their movement and threat they carried

 

It was great that a pundit focussed on how well we played rather just talk about the top 4 team having a bad day, or making too many changes etc.

Know what you mean - listening to talk sport and as usual about Chelsea and Benitez with a small comment at the end saying credit to southampton.

 

If we were arsenal they'd be crooning over our performances

Its about bleedin' time.

 

Thought Charlie's comments were spot on TBH.

Said exactly this to the mrs yesterday (she is a Chelsea fan lol). What's more a team like Arsenal would be absolutely over the moon at beating City, Liverpool and Chelsea at home and would be giving it large.

Stadium of Light? That is a shock!

Stadium of Light? That is a shock!

 

Presumably Cortese sacked O'Neill then.

Liked Charlie's closing remark "They dont look anywhere near relegation this Southampton side"

Graeme Le Saux did the commentary on BBC World Services cover of the game. He was full of praise for Saints and the class of our players. Finally people are beginning to really take notice of us for the first time since we got relegated in 2005.

Quiet night yesterday, was it?

Couldn't give a sh*t what Le Saux says, like Redknapp Junior, he will always be tainted with the stigma of being in our team relegated with 'Arry, I'm afraid.

..which is a great shame. He was on the tail end of his career, but turned in some excellent performances - between injuries.

[whelk]

I think we have had plenty of.praise from most of pundits. People get wound up by Merson but he was glowing http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/tv-shows/soccer-saturday/8571167/southampton-3-1-liverpool-mers

 

Patrick Barclay, Barry Glendenning are all giving us loads of love but doesn't seem enough for some. Apart from Lawro but even think he will predict a point Saturday

Very harsh - he always looked like he was giving 100%, unlike 'arry and most of his signings.

[red&white56]

I don't normally watch Sky but thought both the Chelsea and Liverpool match reviews were excellent, plenty of praise for Saints and how we played and less of the "bad day in the office" excuses than on the BBC

+1 Le Saux did care...unlike fat Fank's uncle!

[Appy]

Sky hate us though.

[david in sweden]

never my favourite "expert commentator ...." but at last Charlie Nicholas has admitted that we can play a bit .....
