Lallana really is silky.

It's like a coach is on the pitch. Always telling players what to do.

I think most people recognise Solly as a decent player at PL level. I think you can however afford us all a bit of a laugh about how bad his goal scoring record is compared to the high standard of the rest of his game.

On a positive note, if he was able to covert with any sort of regularity, he’d be playing for one of the £££ teams.

Oh yeah absolutely.

I was perhaps a bit too combative in that post.

At times we have been breathtakingly beautiful and brilliant. It's only when we slow things down too much it looks like we can come unstuck.
Hope RdZ tells them to go for it in the second half and not try to just pass it around at the back too much

 

[GoingUp]

Just getting in the ref's good books by pretending he's nice and it's all only an accident, and so on. It means his later foul on the same bloke in a dangerous area went completely unpunished!

There is no end to Veltman's dark arts.....

I think you may be reading too much into that one, although I'm all for it if that's what really happened

 

[US Seagull]

Solly did look a bit miffed that Perraud stole his tap in. Not angry, but not exactly delighted that we'd gone 2 up.

Gotta be wondering what he has to do to get the ball in the net.

It would be a really good laugh if he had a any sort of scoring record to laugh at!

Looking for a bit more from Mitoma in the second half.

 

[Eric the meek]

Did anyone see those stats?

118 passes to 339.
30% possession v 70%.

Really?
He's been excellent. It's Trossard who needs to step up.

Some of the best football I've ever seen from an Albion side at times in that first half.

Glimmers of world class stuff that Man City etc would be proud of.

Not a perfect performance though. Still room for improvement. But whatever we did in that Spain training camp is very impressive.

I’d be happy for him to never score another goal if he keeps forcing own goals

His second forced OG of the season I Believe

Gotta say, St Mary's looks rather beautiful from the air

Third!

We're winning this with our width. It stretches the back line.

 

[maresfield seagull]

2 nil up…. Can’t complain about that … onwards my seagulls!

In a Brian Blessed voice

That was like three years ago...

Edozie well named

Pissing ourselves here at his genius at getting benefit of the doubt. Every time

The beauty of it is he's clever, does it nicely, without hurting people or cheating.

 

[The Wizard]

Need to pull ourselves together, very lethargic start to the half.
