We sure know how to score a good header Damn, some fine goals by Pelle. He's a very frustrating player at times, but this reminds me how valuable he can be.
Pointless stat of the day: Mane's goal against Swansea was the first of the year where the goalscorer took more than one touch. It was our ninth of the year, six weeks into the campaign. We be poachy.
I'm particularly fond of his celebrations. Got to love a bit of pure, unadulterated passion from your strikers.
Much as I don't mind Chelsea as a club, that match is the one that I prefer over all others this season, and I'm not forgetting the Liverpool 3-2, or the 1-0 at OT, or the 4-0 against Arsenal, or any other match. Besides, I watched it again the other night and I loved it all over again. We gave as good as we got in the first half and tonked them in the second.
I was just thinking exactly that .......... Hope we can persuade him to stay. And how can defenders leave Shane unmarked in the middle of the box? Hope they continue that trend next season!!
I have a feeling (heart over head, admittedly) that Pelle might stay for one more season at least if RK signs an extension. So if he does go it'll be us getting rid of him rather than him wanting to leave. If he stays I can see both Tadic and Mane staying. That's what's happening in my dream world, anyway
That video reminds me of how crucial some of those goals were in getting us Europa. VvD Sunderland home, Oriol Villa home, Mane Everton away. Any former saints side of pevious years would of probably lost all 3 of those games.
I don't think you'll find anywhere that Pelle actually wants to leave. What he wants is to decide his destination if he does go, ie. back to Italy. But there is reportage that Saints are negotiating an extension.
I really want Pelle to stay...he scores goals, holds the ball up and passes to another player who scores, and he is experienced in the EPL. Be quite hard to replace.
