Pretty much agree with all of that. To achieve 8th again would be a massive achievement, but with the start we've had, there's no reason to believe we can't go one better and maybe leapfrog Everton in to 7th. Excited by what J-Rod and Mane can bring to the side.
You're just too good Toby true,
they just can't get past you,
you've got one hell of a touch,
And we hate lovren so much,
at long last you've arrived,
And we hope lovren dies
You're just too good Toby true
Can't get the ball past you
Do do do....etc
All good so far but we shouldn't go nuts. First half today was average, first half against millwall was god awful. But second half today was genuinely exciting and gave cause for optimism. More than that though is that he seems a actual decent bloke and a proper saints manager.
Not to mention Ray "I know everything about Adam Lallana and don't think he can play 90 minutes" Houghton commentating. He sounds like a broken record. We're playing well, just need to make the breakthrough then (hopefully) the floodgates will open. Davis playing well again.
Have never been a fan of loan players, they're never really 'ours' and more widely they don't seem to be a success any way (apart from Lukaku at Everton). But I would take a punt on Zaha seeing as Cardiff are doomed; and if he's not setting the world alight when J-Rod is back bigger and stronger we can just hand him back to United to help them stave of relegation next season.
8th post down- Cortese avatar? Has he been linked with them?
We've supposedly had a lot of crap performances against us this season - Hullx2, Fulhamx2, Norwich etc, but at some point we could maybe just give the players some credit for being good. very good.
