Talking to Southampton fans last night in some bar in town (this will get laughed at by others but hey, this is ostensively a L'pool thread so screw them), and they were saying they've never seen anyone come in and have such an immediate effect in so short a space of time on just about everyone etc. Which lead on to just what a great leveller he is against better quality players, and how we have one of, if not the best manager in the league. And the Southampton lads went further to him being right up there on a par with ANYONE in Europe. Their reasoning? If Utd, City, Bayern, Barca et al made a change right now, any of them would have him in a heartbeat. Opposition fans we've just dicked 6 on their own pitch and they couldn't talk enough about how brilliant he is and how they search out his pressers on the net because of how ******* hilariously class they are.
Love the fact last night, the last 15 when we're 5-1 up and you'd think job done, take it easy and lets go home; he was imploring them to keep going forward, screaming and waving like a madman. When did we last have that?
If we can keep this going through December man and turn the year right up there .....
