The 3 of them playing together could be astonishing. Before Suarez got his ban his understanding with Coutinho was better than the Sturridge Coutinho understanding. Can't wait to see the 3 of them play together
And hopefully it will be the same Sturridge who's only contribution to the match was to deflect a Lambert free kick in off his arse.
Well played Southampton, you deserved the points So much for the open free-flowing attacking game that we all hoped for
Seems to be a symptom of the season so far. Plenty of games appear to be very close and cautious. OK, we've been in there amongst them in every one of our matches, but we aren't alone. Today was a good battle between two very good sides.
Nice tweets (in English) from Osvaldo: "Yeah ! Well Done Saints! I am really happy for the victory! And I am a little anxious for the goal that does not come.." "But the important thing is the victory ! Come on Saints !" Have to say he looked a bit anxious to get his first goal as well. Doesn't seem as composed as you might expect in front of goal, but his overall play is still very good.
Only a matter of time until Osvaldo scores with how well he's playing. Would have scored today but for a very good save.
I completely agree, it's just that we need someone to put the ball in the net and none of our strikers really look like scoring right now! Hope he can get going soon and I'm sure he'll score plenty once he gets his eye in.
Osvaldo was rather sloppy with the ball in the last fifteen minutes or so, but prior to that he was fantastic. I think he got a little frustrated. Still a little worried about his temperament, but not at all worried that he's got the skills. He'll go on a tear at some point. Crystal Palace would be a fine time to start.
Team handed out their shirts to fans again. Nice touch....let's hope they have more opportunities to do so this season.
Same. If we're going to give a couple of our players -- namely, Cork and Ramirez -- a 'show me' start, Palace at home seems the right time.
Thought Wanyama didn't have a great game again today. Solid on the ball, but passing a little sloppy. Osvaldo had a few chances he didn't take, some great build up play from him though. Great headed goal from Lovren, but fortunate not to give away a penalty. MOTM Boruc. That save was incredible.
