Well done Kingy....LCFC Legend. Not our best midfielder we know, but just another goal added to the many over the years. ?

17 points from 24 available, 15 goals in 8 games. Anyone still doubting that it was the right call to sack Shakespeare? 

Not even shakespeare is doubting

Yoshida seems to be credited with their goal. Has there ever been a Premier League game in which 2 Japanese players have scored?

Nope it's a premier  league 1st. Feels like the 1st time shinji has completed 90 minutes as well

Dont even waste your energy on that uneducated conehead.

Dismantled them first half, was a tea party second half.

 

Starting to dominate games again while looking like we could score at any moment and playing absolutely beautiful football.

 

Hat offs to Puel

[Bossman Blessed It]

5 points off the top 4 after 17 games is incredibly good. Puel outsmarted his counterpart today and we ran them ragged. So happy for Shinji too! 

[Finnegan]

Get the goal

Get the goal

Okazaki get the goal.

Great win.

Quite surprised how well they've done under Puel; he doesn't appear to adopt a voting style some had claimed him to be.

I abstain

Iborra is just a better version of kingy so the rotation was unlikely to make too much difference. bit annoyed we let them get up a head of steam for ten minutes second half. Simmo with a stupid challenge as the catalyst

 

the reward for shinji's brace will be to be dropped! The competition for places is bringing the best out of this lot. I wonder if king will retain his place. Is wilf going to be expected to play every game ????.

[Corky]

Unbeaten in seven away games. Given how utterly appalling we were last season on the road that is serious improvement. No listless defeats, a couple of poor performances in drawn games but points collected.

I want the large Japanese bloke who sang that to come back. Hero.

Aye that Puel... he’s a bit of alright isn’t he...

[Chester Dontlie]

 I think I can handle Puel's boring football

He must have done it was the Southampton fans that called him boring, we didn’t know enough to form such an opinion and just went on his record which is pretty good 

Mills hasn't got a chuffing clue, has he? Like so many pundits these days, he's a clown who spouts nonsense presented as opinion.

Ended up with them only having 56% possession. Hardly dominated.

We certainly did not look shit winning today .

 

Oh and 'useless' King scored today. If he wants to carry on being useless and scoring by all means he can carry on.

 

Wish Puel and King would be shown more respect by our fans. Puel because he's got our lads playing some beautiful football at times and started to get some really good form going. 12 games and only 1 loss I think. That loss being to world class Man City. King because it's Andy fvcking King. Comes in for rotation of the squad. Does a job. Gets a goal. What more do fans want him to do? Any reason why Southampton found it difficult to break us down? Not saying it's solely down to King but he and Ndidi combined well together to slow tempo down when necessary to stop Southampton pressure as well as getting ball out of defence to the frontmen to take that pressure off and simultaneously put pressure on Southampton. To some, the man can do no right and it fvcking baffles me. Give the guy a break and get behind him for once. He's gonna be used a lot this month I imagine and he'll carry on giving his best. Get used to it and deal with it. 

Spot on. I thought king and Ndidi both played well tonight. We limited Southampton to few chances other than the Austin chance and long range efforts. King does all the unfancy stuff like winning the ball back and breaking up possession but our fans don't appreciate that for some reason. We know hes not as dynamic as Ndidi or as good on the ball as iborra but he is still a good squad player and showed tonight that hes still up to the premier league, playing against a decent Southampton midfield. 

 

Ps if Van Dijk is worth £50m as has been banded around, how much is Maguire worth. Looks good on the ball Van Dijk but thought he was pretty poor defensively tonight

Exactly we are scoring too many, it is starting to become a chore celebrating one
