Still playing on my Amazon prime 90th minutes,have we won.

This thread was 5 pages in when it finished on Prime. What platform were those who saw it without a delay watching it?

Really enjoyed that game, Southampton are a good side, and gave us all they had but we stood up and held them off and should've buried them in the end. The back four was immense, Cancelo for 20 minutes was at sea, but Pep's tactical switch solved that and the second half we held them at arms length.

Stones MOTM for me, but also credit to Kev, and Rodri in the second half who didn't put a foot wrong after a shoddy first half.

I feel that's the result to build on from here.

Desperately in need of getting aguero fit and firinCompletely toothless upfront yet again.

3 massive points but dont think they were entirely deserved.

Liverpool’s next two are West Brom and Newcastle, ours are Newcastle and Everton. You’d think we’ll need 6 points from the next 2

GD is important (even though I'm not sure it'll come down to it this season). Remember 2012?

yeah i thought that too but didn't want to say it ..

One of them was a number not a word ;-)

I can’t be held responsible for other people’s bad grammar : )

John Stones. Brilliant.

Player of the season so far. Head and shoulders above anyone else.

Dias and Stones what a partnership, who would have thought that!

Great win.

The form side in the league, Gundogan was excellent again. I was worried when I saw him and Rodri up against that Southampton midfield which has been the driving force behind their success with such intense pressing and aggression, but the 2 of them dealt with it so well - passing through pressure, first to the second ball all the time, winning the ball back.

Dias and Stones got yet another clean sheet, and we weren't excellent in front of goal but we created better chances and Sterling buried it when it mattered.

Gundogan seemed good but it felt he could have made better decisions (small ones) in lot of places..Like releasing the ball quickly at times in counterattack

I am so far removed from a ‘happy clapper’ whatever that means, but that match thread was surreal.

It's not worth spending your time there, pal. It's an alternative universe.

walker And stones were excellent. Dias solid.

Bernardo looked much more like himself.
