Rubbish game overall but the subs changed things with Cav's movement and link play and Traores pace and direct running some gaps finally appeared. Reminded me of a number of games last season where we weren't particularly good but remained patient and nicked a goal or 2.
We had a poor game but I disagreed with the commentator who was saying it was a great escape for us. We were still the better team overall IMO just didn't really click.
We have some very good options off the bench who can change a game. Similar to West Ham, a game that hung in the balance went our way. I don't think that's a fluke
Not at our best but I still think we looked fairly comfortable even when Southampton were having a good spell of possession.
Apart from the first 15/20 mins we seemed to be lacking a bit of a spark until Cav came on and we ended the game as well as we started it.
Delighted with the win. We have started the season really well and it still doesn't feel like we have quite hit top gear yet. If we can get it all to click then there is so much potential for us. It feels so weird just sitting back and enjoying the Premier League for a change.
We were certainly nowhere near our best, Attwell as usual at his fucking worst !!!
how can he let 3 yellow card tackles by the same player go unpunished in the first 20 minutes ????
Phew! We're not going to play that badly and come away with three points very often. That said, we were certainly the better of two poor sides. I'm surprised how even the stats were. (Watching through old gold coloured glasses I suppose.) Cédric had a good game for them, I thought. Moutinho MOTM by default, since he didn't do much wrong. Delighted for our two scorers, even though they proved Lawro right.
Bit of a grind but more than useful at times. Thought we won the ball excellently - it's an integral part of our play. Soton may have earned a point and to be fair marshalled our front three well. Jota very frustrating, just felt he was too deep at times. Magnificent run from Traore for the goal but cool finishing at the end. Bennett again immaculate but the team superbly organised off the ball
our hold up play by the front 3 was quite poor today for most of the match. Jota seems to repeatedly run into dead ends - he's finding Premier defenders a far cry from those he encountered in the Championship.
