People moan when we play well, but can't score...and moan when it's a bit dull, but we win. I'd love us to be brilliant and win, but I will also settle for any win.
Did have a good game - but seems to me the high percentage of passes would have be due to the short sideways or backwards pass. Its when he try's to thread it forward that he comes unstuck. Definately needs improving no doubt - but give the guy time. Alot of positives today - really not sure what the negativity is about. Another clean sheet - Dani and Rickie get relieve the pressure on themselves - 1st and 200th goals respectively and we are sitting 4th...
No one is moaning about winning. But even the most positive of fan couldn't have come away feeling like they watched a thrilling game. It was a poor game with a good result against a really R E A L L Y, crap team.
Dejan Lovren on Twitter: "Another superb performance and a clean sheet ! Thanks to everybody ! COYR #SaintsFC"
I get the feeling Dani enjoyed that... please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
Ah, you do yourself down. No need for false modesty. That was like one of Cleopatra's pearls, dipped in gold and mounted with diamonds.
3 years ago today we were 22nd in League One. Today we're 4th in the Premier League. Stop moaning. The End.
Anyone that still went to our games in League One will be very happy with today. Decent win and a very solid defensive display. The only criticism I have is that we played too many sideways and backwards passes at times when Lambert or Osvaldo were open. I wasn't that happy with the substitutions either. But we won 2-0 so it got the job done.
He was asked about being lower profile than Mourinho and AVB - he responded that they have won more trophies as managers, but that he had one more than them as a player!
Excellent win today ... can't think of too many negatives. Thought we were lucky to get away with the penalty (I was in the Itchen North so admittedley didn't have a good view and haven't seen replays) Lamberts & Osvaldos goals were excellent. It was a great team performance, defensively, again, we looked superb. Holloway is a moaning prat though, and a special note to the Palace fans ... some of the best I've seen at SMS. Very happy tonight
Just got back. Not a great game but plenty of positives: Dani got off the mark, Rickie scored, another clean sheet. Lovren was excellent again, my man of the match. Wanyama gave the ball away numerous times. What a free kick from Rickie. Oh and well done Martin Atkinson for booking Chamakh for diving.
