  1. What a performance! I said it in the match thread but I'm sure he stopped 100% of the attempts to run and cross past him. Used the ball smartly and won the free kick for the goal. Was arguably MOTM on that basis, but probably just misses out to Schar who was great all game.
  2. That Salisu has looked class every time I've watched Southampton. Definitely one to keep an eye on I reckon.
  3. I thought he was even good in the first half tbh. Thought him and Raphina stuck out as better than everyone else first half. Second half was quieter, more defensive, but again good.
  4. It honestly took me like 3 weeks to get over the jetlag and adjusting to the time difference when I went to Japan.
  5. Those horrific 3rd strips should be giving opposition teams extra incentive to beat them like.
  6. I can't help but like him despite his weaknesses, he never stops.
  7. This is exactly it. When matches are described as must win it's not always the case because points are gained in mysterious ways.
  8. Thought he did what he was supposed to do in the air fairly well, but would have liked more from him positionally in the box and hold up play. There was an almost chance I'd have fancied him to bury, where a Leeds defender nicked in because the ball to him wasn't quite right, so I can definitely see him getting goals.

    The side effects definitely wore off in the second half then. A couple of short passes and not scoring at the end aside he was quality.
  10. I downmarked ASM for the relentless strops, staying on the ground, and taking ages to get back afterwards tbh. Whether he's right or wrong, the game's moved on and we needed him. I'm absolutely not an effort over talent sort either, Ginola's my favourite player ever and my admiration for HBA borders on perverted, but I thought ASM took the piss with the whinging today. I counted at least 4 times he did it and the game had moved on with Leeds on the counter.
  11. Manquillo didn't put a single foot wrong when he came on. I'm almost certain he blocked 100% of the attempts to either get past him or cross pass him, then used the ball well when he had it.
  12. Dubravka 7 Trippier 7.5 Lascelles 7/Clark 7 Schar 7.5 Dummett 6/ Manquillo 8 (was so impressed with his sub performance) Fraser 6.5 Joelinton 7/Longstaff 7 Shelvey 7 Willock 7.5 Wood 5 Saint-Maximin 5
  13. Fucking YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS! Football is chaos. Fucking brilliant, get the fuck in! Drink it in boys, drink it in! I was telling Shelvey to fuck off for sending Trippier away from that free kick right up until the moment it went in, like.

    Thought he's been good on the ball at times but looks absolutely spent off it. He looked injured when he was jogging back at 35 minutes. I think there's more to this than meets the eye. Didn't someone on here say he was getting injections in his foot to continue playing? I wonder if one of the side effects is having Ronaldo's brain...in the '98 World Cup Final.
  15. Was thinking the same but there have been a few decent ones where there's just no one there as well. A couple from them and Fraser's to the back post should have had someone getting in there.
  16. Absolute guttner about Joelinton. 2nd half away from home is when we concede most of our goals, so I'm ready. Would happily take a draw right now.
  17. Aye 8 hours would be Japan and it would potentially fuck them up for weeks
  18. Google reckons jet lag wouldn't last too long or be that extreme with a 3 hour time difference.
  19. It's not that grim. Ashley's gone. Honestly it's like there's a collective come down on here.
  20. So many people seem to view football like maths like. It's just chaos, if it wasn't we'd have no hope of staying up.
