Remember when half this board was disgusted at the thought of Shane Long after Poch was spotted in the crowd at Ireland Holland with his agent. Then it turned out we were after Janssen and everyone chilled out.

Thing is right now with hindsight we'd all rather Long coming off the bench. Limited maybe, but knows his job and does it well.

Sure, he definitely played his part tonight but this is the same Shane Long who currently has 1 goal and 1 assist in 18 games for S'ton this season.
By no means have Jansen blown me away but the guy is also 8 years younger and has his first season in the BPL.

Southampton the 1st club to reach the final without conceding a goal, all their opponents were Premiership teams as well, great stuff.

Couldn't have been a sweeter morale killer than the way that goal came about - everyone commits to a corner in the dying seconds, that glimmer of hope, then watch as they break and score on the counter. They had plenty of time to watch them run up field, the run on to a well weighted pass and a calm finish - agony.

I quite like watching this Southampton side, when they play, they can play some really neat and tidy football. I thought Romeu deserved his MOTM.

If they had a consistent goalscorer, or at least could keep Austin fit, they'd be "best of the rest" for sure.

Away goal only counts after extra time iirc

Hopefully hull can get a second soon and that will set up a great finish.

Although they're probably dead on their legs
