Leicestersaint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Poor first half - great second half. Very good performances by Shaw, Lallana, Cork, Clyne and Lambert.
Mallagroth Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 SRL coming back from under the cloud of Osvaldo or was he stuck on 99 goals? He could have had a hat trick if he hadn't fallen over and if he wasn't such a team player.
Monk Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Ha ha ha - Glasgow spends the whole match with his finger on the enter key of his computer desperate to be the man to start the reaction thread. Not content with that he has to be the first one to reply also Great result, great second half. My first thought! Proper keyboard warrior.
Kingsland Red Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Lambert, Rodriguez and Lallana were class; Schneiderlin, Davis and Cork never stopped winning the ball back. Superb second half. And all in front of Hodgson. COYR
kpturner Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Get the F_UCK in there! Surely you can find something negative to say?
Ohio Saint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 I voted Boruc as MOM. His first half saves were critical to us and maintained an even platform for us to build on.
Saints foreva Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 After that first half I thought we were certain for a 1-0 loss but a fantastic performance in the second half. Lambert MOTM. Great second half performance from him. One goal and two assists.
Miltonaggro Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 This game could be a real turning point, as we were a real 'unit' today, with some outstanding contributions to the team - we have to keep Pochettino whatever it takes. When we make signings in the summer they should be to contribute to our growing alter ego as the England team! 8 points above Villa and only 5 away from Man U (8 mins of injury time, c*nts) in 7th. The future's bright, the future's red and white!...
Sheaf Saint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 My first thought! Proper keyboard warrior. Not only that, he has already started the Stoke build-up thread - less than 5 minutes after the FT whistle. What an exciting life he must lead.
Mallagroth Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 I voted Boruc as MOM. His first half saves were critical to us and maintained an even platform for us to build on. TBF if I could change my vote would go for this too. Lambert 2nd half but it would have meant nothing if Boruc hadn't got us into half time.
Professor Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 The commentator on the stream I was watching was talking about league positions and said Saints might well catch Newcastle to go up to 8th but couldn't see us catching Man U. With only a 5 point gap and the advantage of the home game against them on the last day of the season I wouldn't be so sure. Man U have already lost 7 games this season which is the same as Southampton, so it could be that 7th place will be there for the taking.
Jonnyboy Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Lallana for sparking it all off with a great goal.
Mikey88 Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Thought Yoshida played very well to be fair to him.
dubai_phil Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 After a brilliant week down here doing my thing I get to tune in to Saints Player late in the game and get to hear 3 goals going in. #itdoesntgetbetterthanthis
Toomer Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 We win away Skates get beat at home you can't ask for a better Saturday.
Dr Who? Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 I still think there are more posts in here when we lose/draw, than when we win. Only 13 posts after a 0-3 win!
Jonnyboy Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Those of you who slag RL off do not understand what he contributes. Two great passes, two goals plus a goal himself. What more do you want! Will take a lot of replacing. The £15million fool is a distant memory.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 1 February, 2014 Author Posted 1 February, 2014 Fulham will go down i think... Look poor
JackFrost Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Thought Yoshida played very well to be fair to him. Why we persisted with Hooiveld as backup CB for so long is beyond me. There were quite a few including me who considered Maya a far better player, once he had match practice

kpturner Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 My first thought! Proper keyboard warrior. Also had his finger hovering to start the Stoke build-up thread first as well. Conjures up some sad images doesn't it?
Bucks Saint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 great day, great goals, all England lads. Sod off Dani doughnut.
Batman Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 welbeck and cleverley were their brilliant selves today...... cleverley Has he played a great game since he got married and had a kid?? No.. Looks like a chav, plays like a chav.. No fight, no passion, no brains.. Well, at least he got his scar to show his mates. welbeck He's ****ing brutal, we know this. Instantly falls over every single time when near the ball in the box, without fail. Needs shipping out in the summer. both will no doubt be ahead of lallana and jrod for england
Saint Martini Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 RL.........made 2 and scored 1. Maybe not the most mobile, but a eye for the pass Moving Rodriguez to the striker position, Lambert in behind and Lallana to the wing was a stroke of genius from Poch. Rordriguez kept both CB's busy with his movement pulling them out wide whicch created space for Lambert and Llana to work their magic. Lambert didn't get a touch because his strengths were nulified by Hangeland. Very good 2nd but the 1st was poor aside from the first 10 minutes. Wanyama didn't have a good match and Lambert looked totally of pace in the first. But lets focus on the positives which is three points and three goals.
Ohio Saint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 How many do we need? I certainly don't think we need to sticky the first thread posted by a known WUM as the official thread.........OK, delete this now mods. Thanks.

buctootim Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Great result after pretty dire first half. Chuffed.
Toomer Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 You can't get a better Saturday than that Skates get beat at home and we win away.

S-Clarke Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 The first half was really poor, but the 2nd half we went up a gear or 4! Fulham didn't improve and we did, and they had no answer to us. It was great to see all our Englishman combine for all 3 goals. Pick of the goals for me is obviously the third, not just for the finish which was a worldy, but the pass from Lambert which was just as much of a worldy! With Roy on show, we may well have quite a few players in Brazil based on that 2nd half.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 1 February, 2014 Author Posted 1 February, 2014 wanyama got a score of 3 in the mail lol He was truely awful. Odd to start him ahead of an in form Cork Guess he needs match practice, but didnt look ready at all
Ohio Saint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 wanyama got a score of 3 in the mail lol Did they take into account his recovery from injury and just coming back into the game? Pointless.
skintsaint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 wanyama got a score of 3 in the mail lol Same paper that gave Cork a 5 against Arsenal...says much about their ratings tbh.
Batman Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Did they take into account his recovery from injury and just coming back into the game? Pointless. no, they score it on the game they were watching
Crab Lungs Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 I thought Lambert was finished, no mobile, no form etc? that front 3 are great together. Not always prolific enough but they know each other's game inside out. Hope they all stay fit and we can close the gap on 7/8th. Great win, sounds like everyone did their job very well. Who plays next Cork or Wanyama? I like them both but do tend to believe when you've been out if someone has come in and done a great job you should earn your place back from the bench. So what did Hodgson think? 'They keep the ball too much, no-one gets their head down and runs like Townsend, no-one loses the ball like Cleverley or finishes like welbeck'. Loooooooooooooool that emboldened bit is so true... one or two bad games and a player is written off on here. Hence, the term "mongboard". Woy didn't even know why he was there, probably, bless.
trousers Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 MailOnline Sport @MailSport Southampton's second, scored by Lambert, was quite the team goal #SaintsFC pic.twitter.com/yZGMZbwPD1
dan abnormal Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Brilliant, so happy to see Rickie look back to his best after a very poor stretch of performances. Would be criminal if Adam doesn't make it to Brazil, sensational and a delight to watch at times. Yoshida looked good as well. Clyne offers something different to Chambers, he's just that bit better. Clyne and Cork to both start next week please.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 A nice way to look at our second goal. Keep the ball in one area of the pitch, drag the opposition team across, shift the ball the other side to impact their shape and then score. Stuff like this doesn't happen by mistake. EDIT: I see Trousers got there before me
trousers Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 I still think there are more posts in here when we lose/draw, than when we win. Only 13 posts after a 0-3 win! Can't think why.....
Ohio Saint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 no, they score it on the game they were watching While that is their job, it is not helpful to the more detailed situation faced by our manager.
