Its a good job you didn't, as Pascal Gross got it.
Agree most of the players didn't warrant more than 6, it was that type of game!

Thought Izquierdo played well again. Not a terrible performance - I don't understand some of the negativity.
Stephens had a good game, too, I thought.
No really poor performances, either. Just one of those mediocre games where everyone did ok.
The only person on the pitch deserving of a low mark was the referee. By a considerable margin the worst so far this season.

I thought Stephens was poor today, he does couple of great interceptions a game but gives the ball away wo easily sometimes as well as turning back to often when there's space to attack into.
Jose and Gross were standouts for me, Knockaert just needs a bit of luck and he'll be there again, definitely no lack of effort from them though!

Stephens was OK, but the thing that frustrated me today is he sometimes passed the ball just behind players, which really slowed our build up play.
Not the most memorable of games. Poor first half, but we improved in the second.
Ryan 6. Not a lot to do. Dealt just fine with what came his way.
Bruno 6. OK. Not his best.
Duffy 7. Defended well again, but looked as if he missed a sitter in the second half.
Dunk 7. Good game.
Bong 6. Did well enough.
Stephens 7. One of his better performances this season, but still a couple of unnecessary errors. Was the free kick really a foul? If so could he have avoided it?
Propper 7. Some lovely stuff from him. Getting better game by game. But gave the ball away in a very dangerous situation near the end.
Knockaert 5. Still not back to his best.
Izquierdo 7. Would have liked him to have had more of the ball.
Gross 7. Another good game. Great cross for the goal.
Murray 7. Very well taken goal and won a decent number of headers, but ball control let him down a couple of times in the first half.
Subs:
March 5. Didn't see much of the ball.
Brown 5. Ditto

SULLY COULDNT SHOOT
Loyal2Family+Albion!
Ryan - 6 Nothing to do.
Bruno -6 in and out of the game. not exposed today but little impact going forward
Bong - 7 Good game. rarely would I give him a mark higher than Bruno but think he is actually imporving. Now ahead of Suttner and work well with Izqi (NSC mafia says I can't call him Izzy)
Duffy -7 - great except for silly foul that could have got us in trouble
Dunk - 7.5 solid as always but no killer pass today
Stephens - 6 typical
Propper - 6 sometimes really good, sometimes brainless
Gross - 7 off and on today. Set pieces were nowhere for anyone today but it was his pinpoint cross that made the difference. Possibly his worst game in a month but still above average.
Izqi - 7.5. Would have been mom if not for his naivety sometimes and predictability of cutting inside. Works really well with Bong.
Knocky - 7 - he's getting better but still its mostly flashes.
Muzza - 7 - first touch awful and dosne't hold the ball as weel as Hemed but he scored and he did soem great knock ons and kept going.
Subs - nothing
one last point. Although the midfield as individuals is crummy I think as a two they work really well together. Both make too many mistakes but they stay close together, are compact and really make it hard so although the average for each is 6.25 the mark for both would be 7.5 today. Just wished they made more happen going forward as I thought that's what Propper would do.

I often wonder if a cold shower before the match might get Stephens not to give the ball away so much.Their goal was down to him,I thought.Ryan was poor compared to Koosh,whose kicking out was far superior,but a point gained against Stains,who were a bunch of cheating twunts.
I thought Stephens was poor first half, but our best player 2nd half
I concur. The yellow card bar was higher for the boys in red than for the good guys. And an honary mention for the West linesman who got most things wrong.
Ryan 7
Bruno 6
Dunk 7
Duffy 7
Bong 7
Knockaert 6
Stephens 6
Propper 6
Izquierdo 7
Groß 7 MoM
Murray 5 first half, 7 second= 6 overall
No really bad performances but no outstanding ones either. Izquierdo looked decent and caused some problems, Groß just about shades it for man of the match for the assist and the amount of chances he created, though he should really have been tracking Davis better for the goal. On another note, Bong has looked decent since coming back into the fold.

Hopefully Kayal coming back might give Stephens a bit of a kick up the backside to stop doing so many silly things in games as there's some competition (I know we've had Sidwell but he's not really a serious contender to start every week).
Probably agree with the all 6's, but Dunk was MOM for me.

We were alright, I can understand some expectations being heightened after a few of our performances recently but Southampton finished 8th last year and clearly had some very good defenders and were well organized. First half was poor from us but we improved in the second, in the end a draw was a fair result and we will play several more vunerable sides at the back at the Amex later on in the season.

Not sure what Stephens had to do with their goal. I thought Murray made the foul in a bad position.
I thought Stephens, Gross, Bong, Dunk, Duffy, Murray were worth 7s otherwise 6s all round, a solid performance but need a little bit more.

Stephens clear MoM today. Class.
