Brilliant to see our players putting pressure on the referee to make the decision, he does look off when the corner was taken.
Southampton looking a very good side and probably should have taken advantage of some of the situations that they created. But we certainly had our moments as well and Southampton know that they are in a game.
Kemper a touch slow to react to the deflection but was likely more concerned about the Southampton player cutting inside to shoot. Great finish.
The problem with our set up is that we miss Smyth down the wing. Vale and Poku a little disappointing, Poku lacking some pace I think.
I would bring on Chair for Vale now and move Smyth out wide, hopefully Chair can give us that bit of quality needed to score a goal. Dembele for Poku later.
As with Madsen the transformation from last season is quite remarkable. Brilliant play today to win the ball back for our second.
As terryb mentions the downside, as with Burrell, will be the International call up's. The risk of injury and exhaustion. Wonderful for the players of course to play international football.
Julien impresses me more and more as time moves on. I loved the recent interview with Clive and Conor and I was thinking that Marty would not have given such detailed, interesting replies.
Julien gives the impression that he is a deep thinking football man. He stays humble, grounded and would no doubt chuckle to some of the responses on here to victories and defeats. As OakR says Julien sets standards, high standards, which can only be a positive thing for the club especially as the players seem to be buying in to it.
He is not perfect of course. I think he has finally realised that Smyth is better than Saito and the Boy Kemper substitution will never be forgotten, lol.
I have high hopes for what Julien can achieve at our club. But as my friend Colin recently said, Julien might get frustrated, fed up with player availability and move on.
