Where was every one? The stadium looked 3/4 full.
CaliforniaBlue said:Absolutely, and for all their possession, Southampton had one shot on target the whole game. When we went a goal up we looked to sit back, soak up some pressure and hit them on the break, like we did in several games earlier in the season. Even though it's a bit scary when the other team has a lot of the ball, they didn't look that likely to score until the penalty.jared said:4-1 we deserved it FFS. Sure they dominated first half and had an offside decision that led to a goal against them but c'mon on, we scored the others fairly. And could have a lot more. Dzeko and negredo missed a 2 good chances each. It's not like we were devoid of any other good goal opportunities.

If we saunter around like that against Liverpool they'll definitely give us a new bumhole.
Goals 2 and 3 came like a gift from above. We were being totally dominated at that point. Silva was clearly miles offside for the 2nd. Fortune was definitely smiling on us in that mad little period.
2nd half we were excellent. Totally bossed the game and got our usual game going really well.
Much of this was the fact we were 3-1 up but also the change MP made where Garcia came on and 'plugged' the gaping hole we left in the 1st half made a significant difference. Garcia, again, played very well and delivered MP's requirements with assured confidence and professionalism.
Silva was ethereal. 1000% one of the best players on the planet.
Kolarov was outstanding. What a fucking player this lad has become under MP.
Let's see if the scousers shit themselves tomorrow.
That's the nature of football , its the goals that matter.
We could play as poorly against Liverpool next Sunday and be 3-1 up at half time like today.
All we can is win our games like Edin said after the game.
The 49ers said:Thought your boys were going to have a wobble today after the goal because you looked like you were coasting again but you pulled it out of the bag.
Any of the Klanfield lot go on about offside goals and conspiracies, just remind them how offside Skrtel was for the 1st goal against us and why Stevie Mee wasn't sent off in his last 2 games.
They are just worried big Andy Carroll is going to bully their error prone, soft as sh*te back line.
You need to make sure you win the league. The thought of Stevie Mee or chavvy Terry lifting the trophy turns my stomach
We'reNotReallyHere said:Huge 3 points.
Poor first half despite the 3 goals.
Garcia came on and changed the game, made us much more defensively sound, so well done Manuel and Javi.
Delighted for Jovetic to score a goal and play another game without getting a injury.
Keeps pressure on Chelsea and Liverpool, well done blues!!!!
