This is very encouraging, we all know we are a better side than them, if they can finish second we should finish first
Five goals away is OTT. It should not allowed too often.
They probably need Lallana to stay injury free, I seem to remember them doing very well when he was in the team last year but being very ordinary whilst he was injured? Terrific start to a season though, can we keep up with a win at Cardiff? I'll settle for a point at the moment.
Luckily this year it's not the case. Jack Cork's the one that's making us tick, class player, and an absolute steal. Don't expect us to keep it up much longer, 10 wins in a row now I believe, run has to come to an end sooner or later.
Southampton are well placed to have a good season, and I expect them to be challenging hard for the top six. Very impressive start for them.
I just hope we can keep our run going, and I would definitely settle for a point tonight.
They probably need to keep Lallana never mind keeping him clear of injuries but fairs fair, last night was a pretty amazing result for them against a team who are supposed to be promotion contenders. I don't think they are a better team than us, they play (very well) a typical english game - power, physicality, speed and a fair bit of skill (think Man U though I'm not saying they are comparable with them!!) ideally suited to the championship whereas we play a more continental/south american style and once we've fully got the measure of this league + a couple more acquisitions I think we're going to be pretty damn good too. Gus made an interesting point in his press conference yesterday about the fact that not many teams in this division will set out to try and stop us playing like last season so if we can suss out how to exploit more offensively minded teams (and we are already starting to do that) we're gonna be a real force to contend with. When all fit we've got a pretty damn good attacking potential already.
