Post-Match Reaction: SAINTS 4-0 Newcastle

[Saint-Armstrong]

Rodriguez x2

Lambert

Lallana

 

8th place is ours.

 

 

[Andy Durman]

Shame Luke didn't score. What a headline

[Solid Saint]

We were far too good.

 

Excellent display from everyone!

[Beckenham Saint]

In 10 years of watching Southampton, that is the best i have ever seen us

[Olallana]

Almost too easy.

[OldNick]

I dont understand, I though RL was finished

[Monk]

That, by no stretch of the imagination could easily of been double figures.

[Edmonton Saint]

Lovely performance from Start to finish, 8 or 9-0 wouldn't have flattered us, we were that good.

[Bewildered]

Excellent performance, only one place between the two teams but we made Newcastle look leagues below us.

[doc oli]

To only take, what one fifth?, of your chances is not good enough.

[IronCitySaint]

Amazing performance. If we could only play like that every week who knows what we could achieve.

[DuncanRG]

Lovely

Squandered so many good chances (again) and still easily won that. Have to be pleased.

 

England has players on form as well.

[Red]

Fantastic win and brilliant display! Only concern is that it seems to take us about ten chances to convert one – if only we can address this, then top 4 is not that much of a fantasy!

[DG]

Great performance, apart from all the misses FFS.

[Pastor Patrón]

Christ that was so gucci.

[Solid Saint]

Their man of the match was their goal keeper, by miles.

 

Speaks volumes, no?

[Convict Colony]

Glasgow and Alpine your boys took one hell of a beating.....

[WealdSaint]

Should have been 10-0. Newcastle were that S**T. But well done lads, the most comprehensive saints victory in the Prem I have ever seen

[St Chalet]

Very one-sided game. Credit to the lads for keeping going until the end of the season.

[badgerx16]

England 4 France 0 - warm up for Brazil.

[Ex Ringwood Saint]

Should of been 10-0....and with a great selection of Englishmen....How long till a first 11 of Englishmen??!!

[tpbury]

I'm luvvin'their post goal huggin'

[pap]

Four-nil.

 

No longer just a place in Southampton.

[Monk]

England 4 France 'B' 0 - warm up for Brazil.

 

That's more like it.

Was only joking- although I can imagine there are some on here who think we have let ourselves down today by not scoring more. Awesome performance.

[Solid Saint]

Four-nil.

 

No longer just a place in Southampton.

 

Very good

[redkeith]

Fantastic performance, although if you were being a bit picky, Jay Rod should have scored 5 or 6 .

 

Ray Houghton is a bit of a knob to keep going on about Ads not lasting 90 minutes. What is the point in leaving him on to get kicked about when the game is already won ?

 

Both fullbacks were excellent, and I thought JWP is starting to look more comfortable in the middle, A handy 4th choice if Vic and Morgan get injured.

[Ohio Saint]

Actually? It was sort of meaningless....A truly poor team being outplayed by talented youngsters having fun in a season that has mostly ended for both teams..........I enjoyed it immensely though.

[Solid Saint]

Was only joking- although I can imagine there are some on here who think we have let ourselves down today by not scoring more. Awesome performance.

 

Fair play. I can understand their frustration but imho Elliot had a great game for them and pulled off a couple of top saves.

 

On another day I think we would have scored 7+ !

[NewYorkSaint]

Incredible team performance. Luke and Callum both superb. The one touch play between Davis, Lallana, JRod, Cork, JWP... so beautiful to watch. Rickie imperious. Lovren and Fonte rock solid. Gaston, nice cameo. My man of match Lallana again. He must start for England. Must. Must. Must.

[BlakeySFC]

Bloody brilliant win!

 

Think that's the first time EVER I've predicted a win in the league and we've actually won #shocked.

[SaintAndyB]

Great result but it could have been more. It took us ages to score and in doing that we wasted at least 4 good chances.

 

Otherwise, an excellent result.

[NewYorkSaint]

Having seen the United game earlier, you have to say we're a better team. They're 6 points ahead. There has to be a real scenario now where a win against them in the last game of the season takes us above them to Saints highest ever premier league position. We just need to catch up 4 of those points before then...

[Saint-Armstrong]

Some words from Mauricio Pochettino in the tunnel...

 

 

“I think it was definitely one of our best. We want to congratulate the fans. We want to give them that victory.”

 

“I was very happy, we were playing very well. At the same time I was very angry, we were wasting chances.”

 

“Even before the game (I was enjoying it) in the dressing room there was a very good atmosphere and good energy."

 

“When the whole team plays well, as it did today, the collective has a power that is irresistible.”

 

“I am very happy overall because it was very deserved by the players and the supporters.”

 

"It was just an amazing performance.”

[View From The Top]

That was utterly f**king awesome.

[Saint Bones]

Excellent performance all round. Passing game was back and we pressed pretty much all game.

 

More of the same thanks lads

[Colinjb]

Epic stuff today. The complete performance. Best of the season so far.

 

Buzzing right now!

[Window Cleaner]

Only saw the second half but that was enough to know we played really well.

[DuncanRG]

Just seen the goals. Newcastle defence was absolutely shambolic but Lallana's goal was a cracker.

[saintroyt]

Christ Glasgow will be ****ed he has nothing to moan about he must be only person in the uk that know's everything and never make's an error on that basis why is he/she not a millionaire and brought the club just a nerd

[redder freak]

Proud to be a happy clappy today!

[Pastor Patrón]

17 goals for Rodriguez this season now.

 

[Sheaf Saint]

Would love to see the Newcastle equivalent of this site today. Their defending was just comical. And it wasn't just a case of bad individual errors, the entire defensive unit was just very badly organised and left us gaps to exploit left, right and centre (literally:))

 

After today's performance I would be very upset if we didn't now finish above them.

 

MOTM - tough one to call, but I have to give it to J-Rod for his two goals and his persistent running. Newcastle just couldn't handle him.

That's why we need him to stay

[Jack]

Some pretty poor challenges from Newcastle in the 2nd half. It'll be hard for Woy to leave any of our lads at home if they keep this up for the rest of the season.

[alpine_saint]

I didnt follow the game, but I am absolutely ecstatic about the result.

 

Our best game of the season ?

Definitely right up there

Nice reading

I particularly like the "No significant weaknesses"

[Dr. Kucho]

Some of our one touch passing was simply amazing. Rodriguez and Lallana are def going to Brazil this summer, and mr Krueger, please get MP to sign a new long term contract.

 

City will be tough next week, but play like this and who know.
