    only just realised Højbjerg was made captain. Granted we've known we should do this for months but Ralphs only been here a week

    • Southampton are the first team to score three headed goals in a Premier League game since West Brom did so versus Swansea in December 2016.

    • Buses!

    Something notable, for me at least: all three of our goals came from balls played behind the defense. Balls that were hit early in our attacks, balls that the striker could run on to, rather than hitting balls to static players in congested spaces. What a difference it makes when you put defenders under pressure.

    Pierre was first made captain under Hughes when Bertrand was suspended against Fulham.

    What,.. what is this I'm feeling..? It's like bubbles in champagne, but inside my head. It's like I'm floating on a cloud of merino wool over a land made of cotton candy. I feel fantastic. ..Is this what its like to win a game of football? Is this what its like to beat a top 6 side?




    I think it is. I think I bloody like it. And I think I love Ralph the Hutt.

    The question I've not been able to answer for the past two seasons is. are we a good squad which has been badly managed or are we a bog average to poor squad and managers have squuezed the best out of them.

    I think Ralph is the man to answer that question.

    Why? Klopp is a very, very good manager. I like the comparison to Klopp because I like Klopp. He's a very good manager and he's passionate.

    Big shout out for Vestegaard today. I thought he was excellent and looked confident on the ground and in the air.

    Wasn’t it great the number of fans that stayed behind to sing. Magical.

    Eventually... he had a shaky opening ten or so, when he gave the ball away a few times with simple passes. After that he did settle down and play well.

    I was impressed - he will have had his confidence knocked after that Cardiff game.
