Player Ratings

Hoping this was a rare underpar performance by the likes of Toby and Wanyama (Wanyama was OK but not his best).

You have to say we missed Kane but still got the job done.

Always going to miss a player like Kane as our team is basically set up for him.

His hold up play is so underrated

We didn't really play today & yet won.

Dele was not on song, Wanyama made more errors today than he has done for the previous 27 matches

Toby strangely not on his usual game either.

Son was okay but nothing seemed to go for him in the first half, thought we might have brought Janssen on for him around 60 minutes.

Winks is looking the real deal, great control and a bit of pace too, can also handle himself if it gets rough

Janssen looked good in his cameo role, it is extremely difficult for a player to come on with just 4-5 minutes of normal time left & pick up the pace & flow of a game. Vincent did very well & his shot was heading for the top corner of the goal before Foster tipped it round the post. Think he deserves a 6.5 at least for his work ethic when he came on.

Southampton were much the better side in the 2nd half & I think we did well to hold on to win all 3 points.

Now we have two weeks to wait until the Burnley game, which contrary to some opinions I think will be a very hard match to win.

Trippier gave his four of his first five passes away when he came on. Struggled.

As far as I'm concerned Jansen helped us massively to manage that game in the end. His hold up play allowed us to kill the match.

I saw the first 30 mins but missed the rest of the game as I was working. Why did Trippier come on? Was Walker injured?

No and didn't look to be struggling either
