  • 0-1 FT, thank goodness.
  • 3 points up on same games last season

    Still lots of questions
  • Not pretty but job done. Half way through the season and 23 points.
    Level on points with Spurs.
  • Dread to think what's going to happen on Sunday.
    One takeaway from today is that it's obvious that Summerville is not PL standard.

    I’m not sure how Summerville gets singled out after that.

    Must admit that wasn't an obvious takeaway for me.

  • After 18 games, 17 points from another season in EPL, level with Spurs but 20 goal difference. 5 points behind Man City and possibly a place in the European Conference League. Which way will we go.

    Our midfield is still a problem and defence is weak, Can we beat Liverpool on Sunday?
  • Some landmarks.

    Bowen's 100th PL goal.

    Cresswell's 300 PL appearance.
  • But still, there's no discipline with this team under J Lo, he's simply gotta go IMO

    good job we didn't get Duran (straight red today !)
  • Good words from Cresswell pitchside 👍.

    Would have been fun though!!!

    Look, we won today, it wasn't exactly a good/great performance, but 3 points it is....

    When I go on about discipline, it's just a constant player or 2 every game being banned for the next game, something is not right IMO, but time will tell...

    3 points, great....

    Agree with Bubbles, In most his performances he's looked lightweight IMO, he's a good player, but at present IMO he's more like championship[ level....Not based on today, just his overall performances...
  • Summerville is not PL standard that became clear after a week or so

    It really isn't. It's just your perception. We are at that part of the season where the 5 yellow cards are stacking up.

    There have been many games where no players have been banned for the subsequent game.
  • Will be; Soler - Álvarez - Paquetá on Sunday.

    Honestly speaking can you remember a season where it's been one after another, or 2 next week, I can't, of course I know it's that time of the season, I'm as old as you!!!!, but do you remember when it's been as constant as this, perhaps I'm just getting forgetful....
  • I don't rely on my memory for anything any more 😂.

    Google, plus lists!!
  • I think it's the slow coach midfielders we have then, perhaps they are just too slow for some of our opponents, it's a win, but it's just so unconvincing....I'm happy for the 3 points, but against the bottom team who have 6 points, can't get too excited....

    Bowen’s 100th career league goal, not PL.
  • Cheers Alderz :+1:

    Doesn't sound like Soler will be fit for this one...

    Why?

    I read somewhere he got injured, that's why he was subbed, but guess who knows if it's accurate....

  • My opinion of Summerville is based on his performances over the season culminating in today's performance, although I'd love to be proved wrong.

    I make it we're 7 points down.

    23-24 W9 D3 L6 Pts30
    24-25 W6 D5 L7 Pts23
  • Same games played, not first 18 👍
  • All in all really pleased to take the points but in all honesty, we were fortunate to go in at half time on level terms, Fab pulled out some quality stops before getting clattered and kept us in it, we had not created much outside of Solers effort and Southampton had at least three really good opportunities.

    To be fair we did better in the 2nd half with Bowens goal being one that Tony Cottee would have been proud of and we were then able to keep them out fairly comfortably and secure the points.

    Bit of a nervy game and not a convincing performance but hey, we could be Man Utd

    COYI

    Feel this is a much fairer way of looking at it, not “who” we’ve played, as depending when we played those teams might have had an affect on end result ( teams had nothing to play for etc etc ), IMO 7 Points down is an honest sad reflection 👍🏻⚒️

    Well we got 22 points in our final 20 games of the season past this point so intrigued to see how it goes

    Lopetegui first half of the season is offically now better than Moyes 2nd half

    3W-3D-2L (so 12 points) in our last 8 games certainly and upward trend for a team where the manager seems like he's finally figured out his beat XI or at least 8 of those positions within his first XI
