Happy with the result but there were clearly a few tired legs out there. Lallana looked lost once again, Markovic still looks like a 2m pound player, Southampton had most of the possession but our defence prevailed at the end and we got lucky with that second goal to seal the deal. Delighted.

Skrtel was a rock yesterday, Mings is improving beyond recognition, Can looks like the real deal. Southampton had the lions share of possession and chances, we had three shots on target, two goals. That's what I call a professional performance.

Delighted. Going forward he's ok (7/10 so far?). but defensively he isn't great. Not sure if that's because he was played on the left yesterday or whether it was just an off day?

If we are discussing Markovic then bar yesterday he's actually been pretty solid defensively (around a 7/10) where as in attack he normally reaches the lofty heights of a 5 in my opinion.

Delighted. Going forward he's ok (7/10 so far?). but defensively he isn't great. Not sure if that's because he was played on the left yesterday or whether it was just an off day? While I’m delighted with the result and some of the performances, I thought Lallana was much poorer than Markovich, but both of them were pretty woeful. and that’s two 20m players we’re talking about here. I still think Markovich will come good in time, but I’m very doubtful about Lallana he flatters to deceive all the time really. If we are discussing Markovic then bar yesterday he's actually been pretty solid defensively (around a 7/10) where as in attack he normally reaches the lofty heights of a 5 in my opinion.

Delighted. I have a friend who is a Saints season ticket holder. He'd happily swap Schneiderlin for Lallana. I'd be happy with that too considering next season our central midfield will be even lighter.
