You know, the...
The annoying thing is, I think, from being a Southampton supporter, is that when you're watching the game and you go ahead in the game, you're never confident this season.
You know, you've mentioned it before six times, been in front and haven't gone on to win the game.
And you can't keep doing that in the Premier League.
It's a ruthless division.
This was a terrific finish, it really was.
It was a striker's finish.
So, you know, at this stage, and again, even at that stage, 2-0,
You know, yes, I was very happy, but I still sat there watching the game thinking, we need another one.
And that's not a great position to be in as a Southampton supporter, to think you're 2-0 up and still think, do you know what, we need another one before we can start relaxing a little bit here.
But it was a terrific finish, and at that point, it was a fantastic position to be in in the game.
100%.
You can't leave people in acres of space in a penalty area.
Firstly, I think we struggled not just on this goal but at other times in that period just to clear our lines and get enough distance on any clearances.
I mean, that's a lot of space to have in a crowded penalty box.
That's a lot of space to give any player, let alone somebody in Eden Hazard's quality.
They're marking space, Matt, aren't they?
Instead of marking players.
Space never score goals.
You've got to go and mark a player.
