Fair play. That's was a quality goal.

Right footed but four of those goals and one or two assists were with his left. That's a good sign in my book.

"Where's all our players gone"

West Ham is doing kids for a quid. The rest of us are subsidising it. Throughout last season West Ham were advertising in the Standard newspaper tickets for home games. It will be interesting to see what happens when they move to the bigger stadium.

Biggest positive was Targett. Assured and comfortable in possession. He looks like he has potential to be very good left back.

He passes well and his delivery is excellent. Two qualities that suggest he'll create goals. It's not his lack of pace that bothers me so much as that he's slow off the mark and slow to turn. There have been examples in every game I've seen him play, including yesterday when someone went past him as if he wasn't there. It's a flaw in his game but surely something that could be improved through coaching positional play.

Looked rock solid. Good signing.

It's two league matches. Let's give the man a chance.

I'm aware of that but he's playing here now for Saints and I'd like to understand how Koeman wants to play to get him scoring. We're short of creative quality no question but how do we play to get goals from Pelle? The answer may be how it was done at Feyenoord.

I asked when we signed Pelle, what was it that turned him from a striker that rarely scored into one that was prolific at Feyenoord? It must have been with the tactics and service to him. I assume Feyenoord played 433 so who supplied him?

Long's got to get beyond Pelle. If not Long then one of the midfielders. I would have brought on Cork for JWP and pushed MS further forward, though WBA played deep and Saints' build up was slow so it was difficult.

First thing I do every season is give The Management a fixture list and she organises everything else around it.

Don't apologise for the specs. What's the point if you don't see the positives and hope for the best.

I thought it was appropriate. In a sense he's ours because we've had the best of him. It's probably a one off anyway, at least until he scores against us at SMS.

That's nice to hear. Is it her young son that attended lots of the home games over the past few seasons?

No idea. We need an expert in sob stories to fill in the gaps for us.

First time I've seen him in a match and I was impressed. He's a bargain on that evidence. The trick for the goal appeared on one of his YouTube compilations.

All about opinions but really I must have been watching a different match. I thought Liverpool were po and we were unlucky not to get at least a draw.
