mcjwills Posted 9 November, 2013 Share Posted 9 November, 2013 Seems the only way to get a goal against us is hope for a huge gust of wind or one of our players make an horrendous c*ck up.

Crab Lungs Posted 9 November, 2013 Share Posted 9 November, 2013 Very interested to see that they introduced Debayo to the crowd today, it's almost as if we're ordaining them into the club and fans, trying to build a real "feeling" between players, fans and what's bring built.

sandwichsaint Posted 9 November, 2013 Share Posted 9 November, 2013 I know others will rightly get the plaudits but how consistent is Clyne? He's been up in the 8's and 9's all season - shame he messed up with the u21s because on current form he should be a shoo-in for England's RB.

jasonb Posted 9 November, 2013 Share Posted 9 November, 2013 Called it right in the build-up thread. I said 3 nil but I just felt we would be too good today. I also have to admit my legs went a bit when they scored but that's an old Southampton fan trait I have been having therapy for over 35 years. Thought we lost our way a tiny bit after they scored and put us under pressure and although they had nothing to lose by that stage it was a commendable second half by the Tigers. Great use of the bench by MP and great to see Cork back in action. Maybe he will resurrect his partnership with our French wizard and have a similar galvanizing impact on our season as he did last. Imagine that... Cork coming in and pushing us on to the next, next level. #OurDreamIsReal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toomer Posted 9 November, 2013 Share Posted 9 November, 2013 Complete performance in the first half gave away a silly goal that gave them a lift for about 15 mins, IMO Steve Davis gives us just a little more in the centre of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 9 November, 2013 Share Posted 9 November, 2013 Quite possibly the best first half performance this season, shading even the Fulham one in my opinion. Great that Hodgson was there and he must have felt vindicated in choosing Lambert, Rodriguez and Lallana for the England squad, as all put in good performances, particularly Lallana, who probably played as good a gamae as I've ever seen from him, so man of the match by some distance. But Clyne, Shaw and Ward-Prowse must also have caught his eye too. The only below par performance came from Wanyama, who was guilty of some sloppy play to lose the ball which led to Hull's goal, as well as a few poor passes and getting bullied off the ball by Huddlestone on more than one occasion. Tactically Pochettino got it spot on substituting him after their goal, as for a short spell it seemed that the lift it gave them might have led to further goals unless we tightened up the midfield. Davis and Cork are just the sort of experienced players to do this and once they were in their stride, we contained them well and looked capable of scoring more goals. Oswaldo showed some very neat play in his short cameo and even without Lallana and Lambert, we were capable of fashioning several opportunities to threaten Hull's goal. The really neat interplay that resulted in Davis' goal shows how good we have become up front and it was also encouraging that the four goals were each scored by different players. It is great to go into the International break so full of confidence before we begin a run of more difficult matches against the other top teams. On the early season form so far, I really don't think that we fear playing anybody, especially as we have beaten Liverpool and drawn at Old Trafford and for the first time in many years, even if we are not feared by the likes of Chelsea, City and Arsenal, at the very least we have earned their respect. We are capable of beating them all on our day and once we have played them, we will be able to make a more accurate assessment of quite how far we have come. It will be lovely watching Match of the Day and no doubt there will be a debate on Hodgson's selection of our players and whether he will be vindicated. Also, a warm pat on the back for Lawrenson for getting the result right, if not the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSaint Posted 9 November, 2013 Share Posted 9 November, 2013 His goal was excellent, but where has Lallana's pace come from? You're right to ask about the pace. He has never looked very fast in the past and suddenly he looks lightning quick. Hope it's just the double training sessions Seriously though, he's been absolutely superb this year and is getting better by the game. I don't think he's become that much faster, although the extra training has obviously helped. To me it's the difference between tentative and talented and really confident and talented. Before he was trying things hoping that they'd work; now he looks like he knows exactly what he wants to do and is confident that he can pull it off. As Whitey said, "an England call-up helps."

Easty Posted 9 November, 2013 Share Posted 9 November, 2013 What a game, what a team.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 9 November, 2013 Share Posted 9 November, 2013 Brilliant stuff. Magnificent in the first half and comfortable in the 2nd following initial complacency. Lallana out of this world ably supported by the rest of the group. So proud the team I support is now 3rd in the Prem after all of our travails. Marvellous.

Bearsy Posted 9 November, 2013 Share Posted 9 November, 2013 Tigers used to be the most fearsome beasts in the jungle, check Shere Khan in the Jungle Book or the arsonist tigers of William Blake. Somehow over time they've become tame, bungling and laughably incompetent. Sugar frosted cereal salesman, Tony, seems a likable chap but he's no more intimidating that Steve Bruce's nan*. Ditto Pooh's lisping bounce-buddy Tigger. More recently a fully grown Bengal tiger spent 90 minutes chasing a small Indian street urchin round a boat and still disembarked hungry. It's sad really. The hyenas must be pissing themselves. Never in doubt. Saints 4 - Tigers 1 * Steve Bruce's nan coincidentally is the spitting image of Steve Bruce. It gets very confusing at family parties.

Minsk Posted 9 November, 2013 Share Posted 9 November, 2013 I can't believe the posts on this thread so far! How easily placated you lot are, FFS!! Who gives a toss about beig 3rd in the league? We all know there is no chance in Hell that we will finish in the top 6 come the end of the season. We should have played this team, and given this performance on Wednesday night. Those goals should have knocked Blunderland out of the cup. We would then be only a victory over Chelsea, followed by two more against two of Man Utd, Man City and Spurs, away from lifting the League Cup - a nailed on certainty had we gone for it - as we are much better than all of them, except in the league, nor are we as good as another 4, as yet unknown teams, in the league either.... but....anyway...... what a waste of an opportunity.... we should have gone for the cup and forfeited today's performance, and points.... at least, that's what many on here have been saying for the past few days....................

CanadaSaint Posted 9 November, 2013 Share Posted 9 November, 2013 Lots of positives but perhaps the biggest one for me is the arrival of a goal-scoring midfield, which we've lacked. It's been our only real weakness thus far. Aaron Ramsey's goals have taken Arsenal to a new level, and if that happens consistently with our team, look out!

SaintBobby Posted 9 November, 2013 Share Posted 9 November, 2013 Very, very pleased with that. A slightly - but only slightly - shaky ten minutes after they scored, but we were truly superb. Good to see us score more than 2 in the league for 1st time this season. Shame about the sloppy goal - otherwise we would have broken our all time record for minutes played without conceding a goal at home in the league. Lallana was from a different planet today - surely his best ever Saints appearance? On the side topic of England, (a) surely he will play a good chunk of the friendlies (b) his prospects of being selected for Brazil must be edging towards 50-50? Happy, happy days!
