Excellent three points. We made a side that took points off citeh look distinctly ordinary, and kept their main threat under house arrest. Really good performance, and we look as though weāve turned a corner.
The same ones that have kept another clean sheet - despite having to change our starting centreback and losing our starting right back early in the match.
Itās almost like you know nothing about football.
Well that was fucking brilliant!
Hard to pick out one Saints player who had a below average game. Even Vestergaard only had one massive brain fart.
Bertrand had another good game. Glad to see him getting back into some form. Makes a huge difference to Redmond (who looked dangerous every time he got on the ball tonight) and to the team as a whole.
Stephens passing was consistently good. He had a solid game overall and an exceptional first half.
JWP gets my man of the match. Did an absolute number on their best player (again) and slotted in seamlessly after Cedric got a bruisy boo boo.
Probably a good job he did limp off early because it was a bit rufty tufty. Romeu back to beast mode was fun. He had a very good game.
Our attack, even with Ings having a breather and Shane Long being Shane Long, looked really dangerous all game. Obafemi looked disappointed when he was subbed but I thought he did well. Strong, quick and an eye for a pass. Scared the hell out of their pedestrian centre backs.
Armstrong and Redmond both scored crackers and terrorised Palace and Hojbjerg mopped up the midfield and won back possession umpteen times. Cheeky attempt at a lob too.
31 points. I think that puts us 9th at the moment.
Pile of wank.
I think i understand what Barry means, but heās not understanding what was said to him.
We have played(this season, so under Ralph) with fear and so what are any wingers(in an overlapping system where they might end up as the defender) going to naturally do?
That stops all Ralphās game theory working instantly.
Personally iād say the 9-0(hit bottom) we suffered was the only way to turn the negativity around.
We had to believe or die and weāre far from dead.
I loved the not so recent refurbishment works where they demolished it all and built housesā¦
Will never forget the watered down 50p a pint nights in McKluskies though⦠sigh
