That's very subjective. Let's not forget that we were 1-0 with six minutes left. The game's defining moment came when Davies brought down Murray for a clear penalty, which would have seen us 2-0 up. The ref waved it away, Murray went off injured and only after that did Saints start to dominate the game.
It is very subjective, and of course you have to take into account that our season was over (not that that matters - even more so in light of Poyet's comments about beating Southampton meaning more to him than Palace). Lallana coming on was without a doubt the turning point in that game, more so than the penalty I thought. It will be very interesting to see how he tries to deal with him tomorrow bearing in mind the tearing apart he did back in April
Regardless, it doesn't take away that some of Poyet's comments about Southampton and Lambert came across as a bit dickish
