Southampton (H): The post match thread

[Michel Sibble]

Stopping the rot.

[PaulWinch again]

Pretty poor display, but I suppose it's a point. I have to say Gabby and Weimann were absolutely atrocious. Albrighton, Bertand, Delph and Vlaar did well. That Swansea result has given us a problem, we really need Liverpool to win.

Was the air punched in delight with a fist?

[Monty]

How were the crowd at the end?

The best thing about today is it's another game ticked off and closer to the end of the season. We've not pulled away from any of the other teams in terms of points, and lost ground on swansea, but the teams below us are running out of games to make up the ground.

Feel like we need to sack everybody from the manager & players right down to the tea lady (sorry) then hold an exorcism and start again.

[Jimbo]

Thankful for the measly point, but what a heap of garbage we are. All the other relegation strugglers have shown guts these last few games, but we look utterly toothless. I'll be happy to see the back of Lambert in the summer, and hopefully the end of the Thickie Villa era.

Probably as bored as usual. Fair play to anyone who is still buying a season ticket after the last 4 years at home.

So, basically, if we assume Norwich and Sunderland can't escape their certain fate, either Fulham or Cardiff need to win two out of three to catch us, assuming we don't pick up another point. It's close, but after that non-event, it'll have to do.

 I hope whoever owns/manages us, we try and play football like Soton.Lovely to watch, everything we are not.

 We was lucky today, but i think we should be safe with another point.

[PaulWinch again]

We are a terribly dull and poor side.

[supertom]

We worked harder than the previous couple of games I felt. We were lucky but every point counts I guess. I think any romantic ideas that we'd suddenly play better football were flushed down the swanny within 10 minutes of kick off. That said, Southampton played nice stuff but come away with just a point from us this season, despite dominating us over two games.

I think we need to freshen things up. First order of business is to drop Weimann and Gabby because they've got nothing left at the moment. They're knackered and above all have completely lost form.

Results were favourable today, so I think a couple more points will seal the deal.

[Billy Walker]

The best thing about today is it's another game ticked off and closer to the end of the season. We've not pulled away from any of the other teams in terms of points, and lost ground on swansea, but the teams below us are running out of games to make up the ground.

We've pulled a point further away from the bottom three.

[Steve R]

Very good performance from Albrighton, Luke Shaw may have had the odd decent moment going forward but young Marc toasted him quite a few times in his own half. Was lucky to finish the game.

Southampton look a well coached team with not enough quality to make use of what that gives them. We look absolutely toothless without Benteke up front.

[TheMalandro]

very happy about the game, good point and most results went our way.

Robinson could be important in the coming games (I will not complete the cliche)

[Monty]

Probably as bored as usual. Fair play to anyone who is still buying a season ticket after the last 4 years at home.

But no violent bursts of booing? I suppose the game was too drab and apathy-inducing for that.
