What I saw of the game I thought we played well under the circumstances. Southampton came to spoil but despite that we did play some nice football...

Yes SG, though we weren't as good as some are portraying on here, just a hard fought victory which hopefully will give us more confidence in the forthcoming weeks.

No punch upfront.
Shots high & wide, when we did shoot.
Poor, ineffective corner-kicks.
Lack of creativity in midfield.
Constantly passing the ball back to Meslier, even when we were in their half.

You quoted me and cited the anti American agenda tripe that has circulated this past year.
That connects me to it.
So apologise or get off the pot.
I’ve never read any anti-American sentiment from you Ian. And it wasn’t my intention to attach that to you. So if I’ve done that inadvertently I’ll offer you an apology. I’m sorry!

Very happy with the three points, it's been a long time since we won a Premier League game.

Just pointing out what I witnessed at the game, today wasn't pretty by any means.

Hopefully, once Gracia has worked with our squad of players over the next couple of weeks, we'll see a few changes in the way we set up & play.

At this point, I couldn't be arsed about "beautiful football" or any of that nonsense. Shithouse 5 more 1-0s will do me. Starting next week at Stephen McPhail Stadium. 8-)

So why we did waste 3 games, including a big relegation six pointer, on Skubala when Gracia was available? 🤔 I just hope that doesn't end up costing us.

First win in god knows how long. Who can complain?

I thought it was an overall allround good performance with hardly any of our usual stupid mistakes

The only thing I have to disagree with - Jimmy should definitely have passed instead of shooting. If he had done so, it would have been a clear chance.

Bad decision and I'm not convinced he was aware of Harrison's position.

If it had been Gnonto in the same situation, he would have made the early pass because he reads the game superbly, more than any other player, which is amazing considering his age.

I’m so happy. We look like a good football team and have the coach and players to stay up. I don’t care about any kind of analysis. Last weekend, the whole day was crappy after the game. I’ve been in a good mood all day (kickoff was at 10 am for me). I think we’re handling Chelsea again. Experimental lineup Tuesday against the Cottagers, I say.

Anyway, some great Mexican food and margaritas for me and the wife tonight. Also, since major league soccer has 29 teams, the Chicago Fire, aren’t playing this opening weekend. I’m guaranteed going to bed happy.

Agree to a point, still got to get the basics right.

That opportunity happened right in front of me, had Summerville looked up, it was much easier to play Jack in (who actually made a great run into their box), rather than shoot.

That's the difference between the top & bottom clubs, they make the correct decisions!
