I retract my statement from the first half. We're not looking quite as clueless now. What a performance from Harry.

Everyone and everything looks better since we turned to 442 with Lamela for Lucas (and Gio for Ndembele).
Agreed, were droppibg deeper to receive. However Southampton have contributed by playing this high line. They also seem to have really run out of gas, whereas first half we looked gassed.

Haven't yet sorted my life with regard to TV subscriptions and the missus insisted we go to Tesco at half time, so anyone able to confirm whether it appears as though José kicked some arse at the break?

He probably explained to the players how to play against this suicidal backline from Southampton.

Maybe what we're seeing here is Southampton without Hojbjerg.
Kane off, I suspect he'll want a cameo on Tuesday.

We look such a better side with glc on and Lucas off the pitch! I’m glad lamela didn’t score that, imagine the meltdown on here if he had of pointed to the number 11 on his back ?

Kane absolutely could play that sort of role, but would he be happy giving up goals though?
Doesn't necessarily mean his goals would dry up, Bale and Son would take up a lot of the opposition's marking and give him space to roam around and play between the lines. He'd be making late runs in to the box and be a lot harder to mark.

What a weird game. I don’t think I can remember watching a game we’re winning by so many and still feel really worried about the next game...
