Proper top quality CF.

Both goals! Proper instinctive striker goals

Takes two to tango. A cross always looks better if someone is willing to make a run to get on the end of it. Thats not a pop at Rashford, quite the opposite.

He managed to get his head on the shittest possible cross and score.

ffs, I'm not blaming him for scoring. I said it was a good adjustment, but his good run would have been to the wrong place, if not for the deflection. you make your own luck. but don't say it wasn't luck.

and it was a shot, not a cross.

Perhaps but both goals were late runs/reactions into the danger zone after everyone else missed. Epitome of poacher

Buzzing this morning, definitely had a little spring in my step as i walked to he kitchen to open my laptop

Everyone loves a good comeback, but it would be nice to get back to a state where they’re only needed in case of emergency. We still start too many games slowly, not putting them to bed when we have the upper hand.

He would have made a different run if it wasn't for the deflection. He was able to adjust so well because he was on the move.

Klopp-lite.

Good to know the lads enjoyed it.

any 2-0 down at HT, a fightback and a winner in injury time is going to lead to celebrations ffs

mmmmmmmmmmmmm...no. he made a run. he made an adjustment (it was a good adjustment, it's not a criticism). you're just being silly.

it's disgusting that the players were celebrating an injury time winner after being 2 nil down at half time. i think we're the first team to ever react like that.

Sour grapes mate. It’s hardly Klopp and the gang doing a chorus line encore after a 1-1 with West Brom.

His brief period of reflection at the end: this is going to haunt me.

To paraphrase the late, great Bobby Heenan "What do you expect them to be? Sad?''

don't really understand the comment about them celebrating as what did he expect them to do when down 2 nil at half and come back to win in the final seconds??? It was a huge boost for them given where they were in the league standings

I guess it's more to do with how far Southampton have come rather than salt?

Exactly. As long as you're not running about the place holding hands, it's all good.

then say it along those lines as opposed to the comment about it sounded like they were celebrating having just won the Premier League
