    3 points dunno how. but ya never 5 at the back again


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,889 ✭✭✭✭The Moldy Gowl


    It's like the old days. Getting wins we shouldn't.

    Hope it stays like this


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 847 ✭✭✭TheFullDuck


    great to see Van Persie play himself into form to some extent. the goal against Hull, the shift he put in against Stoke and the two goals from 3 chances tonight.

    to use an old cliché someone phone the police, Southampton were robbed

    Back to the good old days of absolutely robbing wins. That was piss poor but another 3 points

    Everyone was pretty crap bar RVP, Young and big Dave of course.

    I've given RVP a lot of flack but he was fantastic today,barely lost the ball.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,889 ✭✭✭✭The Moldy Gowl


    That's the sign of champions there.

    The guiness international champions

    Herrera was good too. Need to pull up ourcsocks for Sunday though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,477 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Smash and Grab should be the new tactic, take that arm band off Rooney too, it is either too much for him or he has been taking notes while watching Denis Wise John terry type captains, don't hound the ref even if he is a plonker.

    RVp was fantastic in that second half, apart from the goal. Himself and Young the only players really that can hold their heads high. Awful game.

    Rooney was awful, Fellaini poor, defence a shambles. Mata totally anonymous. I really do wonder if he has a long term future at Utd. So ****ing slow.


    Delighted with the 3 points though. That back 3 has to be dropped. It leaves the midfield so light. It's purpose I presume is to add extra security at the back but it invites pressure on.

    Also on a side note, we have a football pools in work, first team to 21 goals. I was on 20 before tonight with Southampton and the boss was on 20 with Utd. :D
    Double result for me and €100 odd richer!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,890 ✭✭✭Nolars


    After all the crap RVP got. Best player by a mile today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,072 ✭✭✭irishfeen


    Awful, awful, awful - just awful...









    ... Not a bad 3 points though :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,150 ✭✭✭✭LuckyGent88


    Hilarious smash and grab win :) a massive 3 points and up the 3rd.

    RVP was exceptional in the second half for us. His touch and hold up play was critical for us in the second half.
    Rooney, mata and fellaini were awful.

    Young was pretty good I thought. He got caught too far up the field a couple of times and long should have scored but defended well other than that.

    Bring on liverpool on Sunday :). With a back 4 please God.

    Utterly undeserved. Rooney was dirt, Fel and Carrick were reliving last year till Herrera came on. Young blew hot and cold, good going forward, useless going back.

    RVP was brilliant and my MOTM.

    Up to third, somehow. Considering how poor we've been, it's great that we're pulling away from Arsenal and Spurs in the race for top 4.

    Spurs in the top 4 lol.

    We should be odds on favourite to win the title now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,464 ✭✭✭Quandary


    That first half performance was on another planet of sh1tness. Fellaini was horrific in the first half, came into it a bit more in the 2nd. RVP really stepped up to the plate in what was a massive game for us. Rooney was terrible as as Mata. Valencia non existent, our centre backs were all over the shop. Young was excellent at times but had a few brain farts too. DDG was heroic as usual when called upon.

    3 points in the bag but a lot of heads should hang in shame after that performance. RVP bailed us out big time. But look, if it's not RVP bailing us out it'll hopefully be one of Rooney, Di Maria, Falcao etc etc :)

    Massive result for us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,040 ✭✭✭✭adox


    Oh and forgot to mention Rojos performance. Utter muck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,416 ✭✭✭Jimmy Iovine


    Sky Go is great. I've missed many big goals in the past. This time I enjoyed the winning goal whilst washing my hands in the toilet after a going for a piss. Unhygienic, I know, but I don't care.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,134 ✭✭✭✭Rayne Wooney


    That performance takes away the gloss of being 3rd right now

    It got a bit better in the second half, should never play with 5 at the back again. The players were poor too, Southampton's movement and passing miles better than our own

    3 points is 3 points though

    our lowest attempts on goal in 11 years? jasus


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,040 ✭✭✭✭adox


    It's unbelievable really that Utd are third and only convinces me more that it's a piss poor league this season. Defending is a lost art in England at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    Playing mediocre football and being bailed out by RVP. I's like 2012-13 all over again :D

    In all seriousness, we were muck tonight. Shambles in defence, crap in midfield, lethargic up the wing, yet all we needed was one red Robin ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,736 ✭✭✭OctavarIan


    Last 10 PL games:
    7W 2D 1L

    I'll take that, especially considering we had Chelsea, City, Arsenal, Everton and Southampton in there. Sure signs of improvement over last season.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,889 ✭✭✭✭The Moldy Gowl


    Southampton look good though.

    Stats time.

    5 tackles. More than anyone on the pitch
    7 Interceptions. More than anyone on the pitch
    9 Clearances. More than anyone on the pitch.

    He gave away possession few times though which was unnecessary.

    Ridiculous that Paddy Power haven't paid out yet, to be honest.
