Summary
In this bonus episode, I'm joined by Andrew Allen to discuss the 3-1 win over Southampton at St Mary's last night. We chat about responding well to early disappointment, how Thomas Partey liberates Granit Xhaka, Nicolas Pepe from the left and his excellent goal, Alex Lacazette leading the line well, Cedric's best game, Bernd Leno's consistency and, of course, the contribution of Bukayo Saka to what was a really solid win against difficult opposition.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a brand new R-Splog R-Scast right here on R-Splog.com. How are you? Hope |
| 0:27.2 | you're well. This is another one of those little extra R-Scasts as opposed to an R-Scast |
| 0:32.4 | extra. James can't be here today because what he's got something very very important on |
| 0:36.5 | us got four legs and fur and I think it's his job to mind the puppy. So he's not around for an |
| 0:41.6 | R-Scast extra but we are going to do a chat about the 3-1 win at St Mary's last night. Good response |
| 0:47.9 | to the 1-0 defeat in the FA Cup on Saturday. So with me to chew the fat to go over the bits and |
| 0:54.9 | pieces some of the very impressive pieces as well from an R-Splog perspective it's Andrew |
| 0:59.2 | Alan. Good morning Andrew. Good morning. How you doing? I'm okay thanks. Let's start. I think this |
| 1:03.7 | is an interesting place to start because it's a good win, really good win, some good performances, |
| 1:07.9 | some good individual performances collectively I thought you know it was exciting. There was some |
| 1:12.8 | good football played but I just want to touch on something Mikaela Arterra spoke about after the game |
| 1:18.0 | about you know obviously the difference between the team on Saturday and the team tonight. We |

| 1:29.2 | rotating, he's resting players and he was quite strident afterwards about the fact that many of the |
| 1:36.8 | players who came back in just simply weren't available for the weekend's game. I think he said you |
| 1:42.9 | know we had seven changes. Five of those players were just not available. They were not ready to play |
| 1:49.3 | including Tierney of course you didn't play last night Thomas Parte was another Smith Row had an |
| 1:53.6 | injury which meant he was you know completely rested. So just on the basis of what we've seen from |
| 2:02.8 | team selection is it important sometimes to remember that the manager as much as decisions might |
| 2:09.5 | frustrate us is going into these games with greater information than than we have. He said what was |
| 2:17.1 | it at the end I can't explain every single day how every player is feeling sort of the implicit |
