    I know we're winning and have the majority of possession, but we dont really seem to have any kind of plan to break them down.

    Passing to the right and crossing isnt enough :)

    Anyone else starting to think a Hoedt/VvD CB pairing is a mouthwatering prospect?

    Just a shame we pretty much immediately ended up passing the ball all the way to the defence.

    Although Hoedt looks very good on the ball. He and van Dijk could be quite the pairing.

    Been listening to 5Live for the last 30 minutes or so and commentator and David Pleat very impressed with both Lemina and Hoedt.

    Fraser had that Townsend shot covered all the way.

    Sensible head - we're a world better than last week. Hoedt and Lemina look cracking signings. We're dominating this game. Palace are awful.

    Southampton head - we're only one up. Palace can't be that bad in the second half. We're only one up. Palace being that bad is making us look better than we are. We're only one up.

    Lemina is the best player on the pitch.

    We all thought Van Dijk was the best passer of the ball for a CB. Think Hoedt may take that award off him soon..

    Playing well, but still don't look all the threatening when we get to the edge of their box. Why won't tadic take his man on , he looks like he can't be ****ed! Lemina and romeu bossing the midfield. Hoedt looks like he's in personating VVD , plays out from the back so well and always finds that switch to Cedric on the other side. Overall pretty good just worried we've not killed the game off, palace have had one or to chances to score.

    I would like to see Tadic and Redmond swap during the match. I am sure they can both play on either side

    Really liking Lemina. Takes the best parts of Davis in that role but adds Physicality, height and the ability to get stuck into a challange.

    I love watching Tadic when he's up for it. Playing nicely as a team so far - another goal needed though.

    Just a shame we haven't got another good striker. Long has been decent, but if Gabbi was on I reckon it would be 2-0 by now

    What a touch he has on him. Even when stretching/under pressure/blinded from the sun he manages to drop his shoulder and create space for himself
