According to the stats we've only had 3 shots in the entire game
We didn't look interested in attacking most of the time we had the ball and we were wasting a lot of time. Still, very happy with a first win at that ground.
Great result - defence were immense in keeping their shape and limiting Southampton.
Man of match for me was Obiang but Snodgrass looks a great buy with lots of energy insight and a will to win. Carroll superb until taken off and a genuine 20m striker. He stays fit we only get better.
However we would still have got tonked by City today, and that's no criticism of us, just a recognition of the fact they have players that Southampton simply don't have.
Well played the whole team. What I liked about this performance was people moving, looking for the pass which meant we hardly had to go backwards to Randolph. Good games by the new boys especially Snodgrass who put in a full shift.
After we took the lead I thought we were in control, after the 3rd I was very confident... however, once we took Carroll off we offered nothing going forward which is a bit worrying for me.
Great result, they might have had 22 attempts, but me watching it , it didn't seem that much, or rather too many panic situations... Well done Slav and the squad after a rather subject performance in the week... Never doubted him
I have theory, that when they referred to Lanzini's flu, it was the same as what Slav ws hospitalised for. I think it was gastric flu (what Americans call flu, rather than being influenza).
Also, I noticed AC taking on extra water and talking to the physio quite early on .. wonder if it was same thing? And that's why his was subbed. ;hmm

Who would have thought it.

And since it didn't, i guess you are happy for him to stay?
Not sure how anyone could be disappointed with the result or the performance.
Thought we were really well-organised, and played like a unit for a change.
I thought Snoddy was immense, especially 2nd half.
He's got ability, clearly, but he adds an absolutely top work-rate to that.
With him and Big Andy up top, defences are going to get no rest at all.
In previous games we've been punished for going gung-ho at teams; today, imo, we were more sensible, and played the game that was in front of us.

;lol
I use a desktop. ;wink
Need to back it up against West Brom but feeling a lot better now than I did on Wednesday night...
The players reaction at the end was really pleasing to see, and it's a good end to a tough week for Slab, too ;clap
