Be interesting to see how Boro set up at the weekend. Form they're in you'd think they'd look to take the game to us given how vulnerable we've looked.
I think Edwards is too good a manager to fall into that trap. He'll have watched tonight and the Hull game and he'll set his team up in what he seems the best way to get a result.
 
Obviously a shame to lose, but I'm very happy. Our best performance of the season, by some distance, and everyone played well except for Downs (who was awful).

Quarshie easily had his best game in a Saints shirt. My MOTM was going to be Wood, who was faultless until he got caught out and didn't push up for the second goal.

Just so annoying that McCarthy made the error. As a shot stopper, I'm convinced that he's better than Bazunu. And I was beginning to get quite hopeful that he'd start vs Boro. But you can't be making a basic error like that, and he does have history in that area.
 
They'd take a 0-0 right now I guarantee it. That doesn't do us much good at all. We must turn up on Saturday and play well. Tonight was good but pointless if we don't build on it.

Yep all about Saturday now. Need another really good performance or tonight means nothing really.
 
The one little concern I have going forwards is that we played well tonight in a game which suited us in that we could press Liverpool high up the pitch. Now we have to play well against teams who will sit back.
Agree, but I thought the movement of the front 3 especially in the first half was excellent, and with Downes looking like he may be getting to grips with things, breaking up play, will help.
The lack of movement has been a big issue this season. It also helped with having a couple of beasts at CB with the ball playing Edward’s next to them, and Jalert didn’t get done all night down his wing.
