Match Day Thread Chelsea vs Southampton - Saturday 3rd October, K.O. 17:30

[Rich]

Everyone was brilliant. Wow.

 

[Tintin]

Pelle MOTM for me. Just edges out Mane for me as Pelle ran himself into the ground to defend the lead. Even ended up at left back.

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

I haven't been as satisfied by 90 minutes of football since we beat Utd 6-3.

I think Pelle has been reading this forum. Never seen him work so hard! Every player on the pitch was absolutely superb, but any team which defends so effectively right from the front (Mané and Pellé) is going to be formidable.

Can Garth Crooks pick 11 Saints players for his team of the week?

 

[saintrichie123]

Very well played every bloody single one of them............everyone was class today.

 

[Lff]

I'm going to do one of those, "end of" sentences.......Everybody brilliant and possibly our best ever away performance since our return to the Premier League.

 

[Saintalona]

Yay we are back where we belong above Liverpool

Common Everton tomorrow!

BBC

The headlines will focus on the escalating crisis at Chelsea. But this should not distract from a superb display from Southampton, who came from behind and deservedly won.

Nah - he only picks whoever scored the goals.

 

[SAINTDON13]

Taxi for Mr Moan?

 

[FdsaJoe]

Ward-Prowse made a massive difference, good to see him start to get blocks and tackles in regularly.

Soares biggest improver for me, didn't do a lot with the ball, but without was much much stronger defensively.

Well done lads, you thoroughly deserved the win. The better team in every department.

 

[AL.]

Absolutely magnificent. Unbelieable performance from everyone. I love Ronald!

 

[- Doing The Lambert Walk]

*waits for Ronald Koeman to dedicate the win to Eva Carneiro*

 

[Ian Thumwood]

An absolutely incredible result that no one could have predicted. Fantastic.

 

[Stegie]

Can Garth Crooks pick 11 Saints players for his team of the week?

Nah - he only picks whoever scored the goals.

And only if they play for any of the top 6 teams.

Well done lads, you thoroughly deserved the win. The better team in every department.

Thanks. Couldn't believe how shambolic you were at the back though!

 

[SAINTDON13]

A win like that on Sky may get us a few more converts, we won in spite of a dire Refereeing performance, although there was an improvement in the 2nd half.
