You (and others) were slagging Pardew and his dog before we'd even got going - sometimes, the opposition do score from their first attack, especially when individual mistakes allow them a free shot in the box. There's no way the manager told them to go out and drop off Southampton (nor fuck up). The first few pages on this are depressing reading. It's the same, tired old cliches rather than people responding to what is actually happening on the pitch. 100% certain that the manager will decide which distance to press and retreat to from the off. We let them have the ball with no pressure a good 10 yards into our own half. You do not do that to an inferior team, at home, from the off.

Awful start, sat back and conceded. Played well since. Gouffran broke down the left, did some step overs, forced a save and Sissoko tapped in for our first. Cisse thunderbastered a volley from 30+ yards, one bounce from an Elliot hoof. Southampton did very little to threaten our goal other than in the first 10 minutes. Its getting longer now. Thought they continued to press us for a few minutes after the goal and it was only around the 10 minute mark that we started to get a foothold? Could be wrong there.

I could not bare sitting next to you at the match. Youll be like one of these guy thats almost spits his own anus out after a bad pass or a few bad minutes of defending. Infact I would have told you to shut your fucking mouth that the match. Yeah, this isn't a match - it's a forum. hth

They pressed and we retreated to the depths of our own half. Scandalous, regardless of whether or not they scored.

I don't see what anyone has got to learn, Dave? Everyone was rightly pissed off with the start, was encouraged by our response and is now delighted by our overall performance - notwithstanding the first 3 minutes.

4 minutes gone...

Erm, WHAT.

Good hustle Gouffran.

And if the other guy gets innjured we'll need to call on the other other guy.

Thunderous block from Cheik!

Casually bringing on Yanga-Mbiwa

Haha, yeah. Said Shaw was struggling and he did; couldn't compete for strength with Jonas.

64% possession lads. Enjoy this rarest of rare phenomena.

Now go again.

Elliot assist!

Coloccini :smug:

Pressing their fullbacks from their own goal kick!

Shaw is struggling tbh.

Argh, the commentator just called it the Sports Direct Arena.

Excellent pressure Gouffran.

You forgot Oba

£2m player (give or take, whilst ignoring the contract situation)

Cisse needs to have his A game on just to keep up with Sissoko.
