I really hope the fans won't moan and groan when we give away a goal by playing it around at the back. It will happen at some point but it's important to how we want to play.

To be fair when I watched them the other day there was a quick circuit across the goal, draw the attacker in, back across and then back again.....and away! When it was Russ-Ball the same stuff would be repeated over and over again with seemingly no purpose or plan other than keeping possession, which inevitably failed and the opposition often scored.
 
Going forward Saints look fantastic, sharp incisive football but I do think we're still a little suspect at the back. Perhaps it's a case of we're always going to score one more than you, a'la Like Watching Brazil ( the old sexy version of Brazil mind)

Incredibly comfortable. They're very poor and don't seem to be playing for their manager.

3 good goals. Armstrong on fire at the minute.

Really hope we don't drop the intensity too much in the second half. I get why.we do it but there's a big score from us here if we want it.

My one moan is the Northam, ****ing Gabbiadini song within 5 minutes was bad enough but copying the away fans singing we've got/lost the ball when 3 up at home is beyond tragic.
