Who gives a shit, hardly bragging rights finishing 14th and 15th
Certainly not as good as the one year in our whole 120 year history that we finished higher

Are you taking the piss ? Stains have lost 10 times at home this season.

Agree, one of his best performances. Can’t wait to see why he can do in his second season. Same for Maupay. Championship players making the step up and they have done well overall.

Point away at very in-form Southampton.
Beaten Arsenal and Norwich, point at Leceister and well beaten by the two best teams in the country.
Played a resurgent Man United at the wrong time.
It's been a very good post lock down. if you look at our run in. Where the points were reasonably available we got them with a bonus at Leicester.
Not sure what those complaining exactly wanted.

It was the game of 2 halves - bit like Leicester. Poor second half but decent enough first. We’ve done well overall this season all things considered.
Corrected for you.
We defended like lions tonight, proud of the boys, Southampton are a very good side, if they keep Ings fit, top six next year.
Webster’s best ever game for us, I thought he was immense, looked a 20 million pound player tonight.

Very hard to watch
But end of the day we went there for a point and got it
Job done.
If they play like that in the last two games then we have every right to be livid

Mooy on for Murray was also a rubbish sub, left us devoid of options and put more pressure on us. Still, a point's a point and that's all that matters.

I think you're right in the sense that Southampton have been very handy since the lockdown and on this form would look to finish top half next season. A point is certainly not to be snubbed.
However, I don't think it's wrong to highlight some of our deficiencies. If Southampton had got a winner it would not have been undeserved. The most worrying aspect for me is our defensive game. I don't mean the defence as in back four, or any individual defender. On the contrary I believe we have a very good back four: Webster's improving, Dunk continues to show to me that he's the best English CB in the PL and Lamptey got roasted tonight but generally he's been an excellent addition. But the ease at which Southampton brought the ball from their defence to attack was extremely concerning. Every time they brought the ball past the halfway line they'd be in our penalty area, stretching our defence, five seconds later. At points it looked like we were playing with 10 men. Though our defenders are excellent at last ditch defending/blocks/goal line clearances, they shouldn't be having to do it 6-7 times in a half. Fair enough if this was against Liverpool, but not a mid-table side who we'd reasonably aspire to be in 1-2 seasons. Is this essentially a midfield problem, not providing a good enough screen for the back four? I don't know.
That aside, an excellent goal, some excellent individual moments (Ryan's save from Vestegaard, Webster and Dunky's blocks) and a precious point which should all but see us safe and dry for another year.
