The Saints have won four of their past five Premier League games which has seen the south coast side rise to 12th in the English top-flight, a good seven points off the relegation zone and now a promising four away from a European spot in the table.
Was the 9-0 defeat the season-defining moment?
Yes, it gave us the kick we needed
No, other results were more important
This impressive run of form has installed new-found optimism amongst Saints supporters on social media, so much so that lots of them believe that Southampton can make easy work of their next six Premier League fixtures, which include trips to Crystal Palace and Liverpool.
Here’s what plenty of Saints fans had to say on Twitter about their next slate of fixtures in the Premier League…
18, including 4 from Che Adams and two hat-tricks from Shane Long, to go along with the obligatory goal a game from Danny Ings – who you calling deluded? I prefer to say optimistic
