Lemina!

[Bad Wolf]

Wow!!! What a rock, what a performance!

[Saint Fan CaM]

Our best player...my MOM and new fav.

[Roger]

Was just wonderful.

[SaveloyMush]

Wow!!! What a rock, what a performance!

 

Does that rhyme with Jemima?

 

As I wrote on another thread (and for which I was called out):

 

( Romeu + Lemina ) > ( Schneiderlin + Wanyama )

[alpine_saint]

Heres hoping him, Romeu, Hoedt and VVD can recreate the same level of understanding that Fonte, Lovren / Toby, Morgan and Wanyama had.

 

Potentially we could end up with the best defence in the PL, but we'll have to work at it some.

[Atlanta Saint]

Solid and skillful

[trousers]

At long last we now have a 'schneiderlin/wanyama'-esque duo in midfield. Great foundation for the rest of the season, with VvD sticking around being the icing on the cake. We've arguably got the best back 6 group (outfield players) in the league right now.

 

And, yes, I know I'm getting ahead of myself...

[monosaint]

Much better than Wanyama in my view. He was awesome.

[Bad Wolf]

It's like Wanyama and Schniederlin rolled into one.

[austsaint]

Head and shoulders the best player on the pitch - strong, skilful and cultured.

Spurs I think tbh

[alpine_saint]

Lets hope having that 6 in front encourages Forster to regain his form

[Suhari]

A very worthy record signing.

 

Power, presence, skill. Only his second EPL game?

 

Looking forward to seeing him develop.

... at Liverpool

[LGTL]

Ridiculous performance from him really, he was utterly superb.

[shurlock]

Strong, cultured performance, though palace totally stood off him and Romeu.

 

Best back six Let's see how everyone gets on against the likes of City, United and Chelsea before throwing around superlatives. We just kept a clean sheet against a team that's smashing league records for ineptitude in front of goal.

Whats wrong with a bit of positivity and wishful thinking ? Surely the ingredients are there now; perhaps thats why we so doggedly hung on to VVD. Maybe he will now want to be part of that.

Too early to say that.

Are you being ironic Alps?

 

Nothing wrong with wishful thinking - I'm sure legions of Nigerian scam artists would agree.

He made 2 fab saves.

[ALWAYS_SFC]

Signing of the season ???? Maybe ??

[Saints foreva]

Decent chant for him today. Hopefully it takes off at St. Mary's.

[Alain Perrin]

Thought Lemima looked very calm and strong, a quality signing

 

Romeu looked a bit weak compared to his ever flawless performances last season. Like Samson, he needs to cut off his hair to regain his power.

[Wiggles31]

Decent chant for him today. Hopefully it takes off at St. Mary's.

 

How's it go?

 

And yeah what a performance. Reminds me of a Fernandinho style midfielder - box to box, skilful, strong and makes inceptions and simple/long distant passes.

[Lord Duckhunter]

Let's see him next week against a decent side before wetting our pants. He was good today, but the space they gave him, particularly first half, my mum could have looked class. Utd next week, followed by tough battle at Stoke, we'll know a bit more after those

What is it? Didn't come across on the tv.

[tobes8]

Immensely strong and powerful and looked great on the ball. Probably with 50m now.

Ohhhhh Mario Lemina

Ohhh he is a great midfielder

Ohhh he never gives the ball away.

 

I'm struggling to think of the tune it's chanted to though!

Agree, our spine is looking pretty good, especially if Forster can find some form. We just need to find a player that is basically a combination of Redmond and Tadic. (i.e. Mane) someone with the pace/movement of Redmond but the technical ability of Tadic.

Lemina OoOh,

 

Lemina OoOh,

 

He played in Italy,

 

He f****** hates P**pey,

 

Lemina...

Who are you and what have you done with alpine Saint? [emoji6] totally agree with you.

[norwaysaint]

I had to miss the match today, but I am confident that if Lemina was very good against Crystal Palace today, then he is probably better than Morgan Schneiderlin at his best.

[supersonic]

Took me a while to get it haha.

Wasn't it the song the Watford fans were singing all game last week but obviously their players name inserted?

Ah yeah, very good! Second line could do with changing, reckon it'd work better as;

 

Mario, Mario Lemina,

Mario, he's a great midfielder,

Mario, Never gives the ball awayyy...

[egg]

Well, I misjudged him! I didn't think much of him in the west ham game but today he was absolutely superb. Looks a hell of a player.

[supersonic]

Came through the ranks and learnt his trade at a smaller club, went to a big club and did well but never a big enough name nor, sadly, good enough to cut it there so we've got ourselves a nice little deal. Very much like Morgan Schneiderlin's situation (albeit Lemina was cheaper).

 

Looks to be very good and the type of player we need.

[SaintBobby]

He was utterly superb today. Man Utd will obviously be a different proposition though.

[ericb]

Utterly superb today. Different class to everything else on the pitch. Think we might've found our next gem

Absolutely outstanding. I don't want to get too carried away as Palace just allowed him to do what he wanted to do.

 

But even when they did pressure him, he used a trick to get out of a tight spot. You can usually tell a 'player' pretty early on in their club career, and this guy is a proper player. Touch, technique, pace, intelligence, strength. He ticks a lot of boxes.

Can't be; "We're Southampton, we sing our own songs".
