my word to describe that performance is sloppy

Agree to disagree, players are stood in offside positions for goals all the time. It was given because he flicked out a leg which may have hypothetically altered the goakeeper’s judgement. I think it was very harsh, but was worth a point to us in the end so I’m happy.

Maybe it's the blue and white tinted specs but the ref was a c***

I mean that’s blatantly not true.
It was, however, the worst collective finishing performance I’ve seen from the team in years, and that says something. Mitoma set the tone in the 3rd minute missing the sitter he missed… and they kept piling up from there.
On another day, we’re 3-0 or 4-0 up at half time.

There is no joint 2nd, 3rd or anything. If this were the end of the season the record would forever show that we finished 2nd.

Well the ref and var did us a favour there. Really harsh on Southampton that one

Reminds me of the offside goal when MacAllister hit his worldie. Mwepu flicked at the ball in an offside position before the ball went to MacAllister and it was given offside. Same principle tonight.

We played poorly, ref was poor but pub before the game was good and I'm sure when we get back the pub will be good! A mixed bag tonight then!
We often say this in games like this (Ipswich etc). But the reality is - 'on another day, we do exactly the same as we did tonight..'

Yep, was extremely harsh and incorrect then too, in my opinion.

In rhe cold light of day, this Saints team pushed Liverpool to the end.
Liverpool the best team in Europe ATM found a way to beat them.
We've done well to get a draw, should've taken our early chances!
Still a point and second.

Having a lack of leadership when our captain is back isn't great

Trying to take the emotion out of it. I don't like seeing goals like that ruled out. The player didn't do enough to to really say he interfered with play
What an immensely disappointing second half. After a very good first half, usually world class players Joao Pedro, Mitoma, Estupinan all really sloppy and infuriating and Ferguson and Adingra were a total waste of time.
Really not sure Van Hecke at right back was the best idea either.
Credit to Giorginio and Ayari though, they really wanted that win.

Well, quite. That doesn’t stop the fact that we mullered them first half. Nor does it stop the fact that we had enough chances second half to put the game to bed even though they were much better.
This is a finishing issue. It’s been a finishing issue for a while.
