This was in the past, of course. When everything was simpler. Tbf, that team was capable of taking any team in the league, while they were in the right mood. Think about it. We had Mane and Pelle as goal getters/line leaders. Dusan in the assist form of his life. Eljero Elia who couldn't do anything wrong, Alderweireld and Jose in defence [though The Belgian went injured] Florin Gardos came in and was that good a replacement nobody noticed the Belgain's absence, and Morgan Schneiderlin was still a Saints player. That was not a **** team. We blew over quite a few teams that season, that we weren't expected to, by the media. Yet we went even better the next season after Morgan left. No wonder we had ambitious thoughts. Let's have some more. I like them.
I saw a highlight of the goal and I'm sure I saw him celebrating in match kit so I think I so. I have a friend who randomly supports Lazio, he said he tactically really needs to improve and has been quite average for them, but thinks the prem may suit him well.

https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/southampton/news/46293/ No idea how true this is, and the fact that the guy writing it goes from calling him De Vrij (his name) to Van Drij halfway through makes me think it could well be bollocks
I seem the remember him in a very different way. After his debut brace he slowly got worse and had very little impact overall that season.
It wasn't a 'debut' two goals, and I recorded all the games from that season, so my memory is pretty detailed if I need it to be. He wasn't at all bad.
Ah well I think people have different interpretations of "couldn't do anything wrong" and "wasn't at all bad". To most they do not mean the same or even similar. The former is much more positive and glowing
Yes, I see that, but in the original statement I was generally being positive and glowing about the whole team anyway.
