Could have taken Murphy off and had the same effect.  Gordon had the better half out of the two.

 

I suspect Gordon was sacrificed because of Murphy’s recent form.

I disagree with that. Yes Gordon was more involved in the first have, but he made bad decisions and he slows down our build up.It looks like he cant play it on first touch as he always use 2-3 touches before he pass the ball, and this also slows us down and makes us loose momentum in the counter attack.

 

Murphy did not have a good game, but he is much more direct which suits us more, also he is more of a teamplayer than Gordon is.

Both Wilson and Isak have made themselves undroppable. 

I couldn't agree more about this. The competition has really fired Wilson up. He needs to be rewarded for that.

That second half man. 
 

It was like we just held them down and kept punching. At least they mustered something in the first period. Credit to our lot, another show of character to come out and rectify things. Hope we’ve got that stinker out the system.

That bit of play on the right hand side of our own half near the corner flag was pure brilliant. Complete calmness and one touch passing then just worked our way out of it with a ball up the pitch.

Southampton are in my forever boogie team category, simply due to the shit results we'd get in the 90s and early 00s. 

I’m sure we must have put down a cheque to help towards building their new ground.  We never got owt down at the Dell - haven’t been too bad since they moved to St Mary’s

First half was sloppy and poor, I thought at half time we would end up enduring a second half of them sitting in and wasting time, and that we’d struggle to break them down.

 

Second half was class. The atmosphere for about 20 minutes was as good as I’ve known it and we just piled the pressure on them. Class.

 

Isak and Wilson is a cheat code.

Plumped for dog walk and Radio Newcastle in the end, so only got a feel for the performance etc. Was this the formation on the second half?

 

                          Pope

Trippier     Schar     Botman       Burn

         Willock    Bruno   Joelinton

 Murphy           Wilson                Isak 

 

Then Miggy/Murphy like-for-like?

Know Wimbledon was a bogey ground/s but nowhere felt as cursed as the Dell.

Play them off the park Le-Tissier scores two worldies 0-1 up with a few minutes to go lose 3-1, 0-2 up under Kenny Defenceleash, with aminute to go draw 2-2.

We can't buy many players because we have Gordon, Burn and Murphy. Won't get anywhere then.

 

What the fuck does this post mean? Just have to ask again.

Skysports (Kelly Dalglish I think) on the Liverpool v Spurs game are now calling the match a battle for Europa league, Souness and Redknapp not arguing against it. Brilliant.

Isak on the left with Wilson inside is already a lethal combination. 

 

Isak with the ball at his feet is just incredible.

 

We have found an absolute ripper.  Every time he has got it on the left we are a chance to score.

 

Exciting times. :lol:

I was at the 2-2 - Le Tissier scored a fucking howitzer in that one too; coach ride back had the atmosphere of a defeat
