Southampton 1-1 Leicester - Match Thread

[BotleySaint]

Never saw that coming once we lost Vestergaard. 

Great passion and determination from us.

[Suhari]

Good effort lads.

 

 

 

[Nemi]

If I was Hasenhuttl I’d be crying after that honestly.

[HKsaint]

Well deserved 

[Jonnyboy]

I need to uninstall the BBC app. Sends me updates 30 seconds before it finishes on the Sky stream

[Jimmy_D]

Well done Saints, fought really well for that one.

[Norm]

Brilliant point! Well done Saints!

[Saint_clark]

Should be a great feeling at full time there, but instead I felt nothing. 

[JustinSFC]

That was a superb performance from us.

Ralph got that right after the red.

Stephens was excellent at LB.

Salisu outstanding.

The whole team.

[adrian lord]

Excellent

Hey it’s not the 70s. They are called chicks now

[obelisk]

That's the sort of fighting spirit we want to see.

[Whitey Grandad]

Not what we tuned in for but ver pleasing nonetheless.

[davefoggy]

That'll do. well done boys

[stknowle]

Really well played to eke out that point but my overriding feeling from tonight is one of bitterness towards the utter shit show that this game is becoming. Shouldn't be like this.

[Jonnyboy]

Props to Stephens, despite his flaws he stepped up. 

[DG]

Damn good effort.

Yes, he played well. His heading ability was useful but there were a few stray short passes.

[warsash saint]

Great defensive display.  well played Ralph!

He can be very good when backs against the wall. Then seems to get cocky and fucks up in other games

[DT]

Especially safe if Chelsea beat Fulham

[Saint_lambden]

Martin Tyler off to have a little cry that Leicester didn't find a winner. 

[saintwbu]

Stephens was brilliant, especially when he screamed ‘fucking liven up’ at the linesman

[StrangelyBrown]

Great character from the players and well managed from hassenhutl. That could have been a shitfest and despite an atrocious performance from the officials a thoroughly deserved point.

Perhaps we a better against the ball than with it???

[ButtikonSaint]

5 more performance like that to end the season... Pity we dropped the 2 points but a real gritty performance... Tremendous, COYR

[Baird of the land]

Nice to see us being tough to beat. Thought stephens did very well out of position and that saving header from KWP was fantastic.

Minamino looked lost out there.

Disgraceful refeering decision on Vestergaard. Thought he was rather poor, booking Minamino but not booking their player for the foul in the lead up to our goal.  At least he gave us a penalty.

You cannot be serious. Magnificent display after a ludicrous red card.

[Mr X]

Great battling performance! more of these needed to make up for the no show in the FA cup semi 

[macca155]

Well done, something to be cheerful about for once. Solid performance, take a point everyday.

Salisu should be a regular now. Stephens put a shift in, Redmond turned up. 

Something to build on.

[Saint_Jonny]

Well done Saints! Well played Ralph! Superb point after being fingered by the referee so early. He went in dry but we brought lube. Better luck next time ref.

Fair play Saints, didn’t think we had that in us. 

[Kingsland Codger]

An amazing display - who would have thought we had that kind of gutsy performance given the dross we’ve had inflicted on us in so many matches. Well done lads. Although it was a bit backs-to-the -wall at times, I never got the impression it was The Alamo.

[Saints foreva]

Everyone put in a proper shift when we went down to 10 men. 

MOTM for me was Salisu. Solid when he came on. Give him a run until the end of the season now.

You have to question why he is not starting Salisu

[Mr Brightside]

Fantastic result in the end. Some fight and spirit, that's more like it. 

But red cards for winning tackles, penalties seemingly every time it goes near an arm, VAR pointless. The game is gone.

[Dusic]

In many ways the best performance of rhe season given some of the questions asked about this team.

Things I learned:

- Salisu should start every game until the end of the season

- Stephens isn't the best player but he talks a lot and we don't have many like that

- Adams and Redmond put in a massive shift in the thankless task at the top of the pitch.

- It only takes 3mins to raise an Ofcom complaint about Martin Tyler's comment about Che Adams...

Three times, according to the linesman.

[Shroppie]

Salish and Stephens really stepped up. KWP great game. Adams, JWP, Armstrong, even Redmond worked their socks off.

[The Cat]

Really good defensive performance. Salisu and Walker Peters were excellent.

The whole team battled hard and deserved the point. From the front to back they ran themselves into the ground.

He said he ate bananas during Ramadan and wasn’t a true Muslim

They showed a lot of guts out there tonight, well played. Walker Peters was superb…..again.

He’s an excellent defender, reads the game really well and always in the right place. He got left after after getting bullied by Calvert Lewin so maybe just needs to toughen up a bit.

[BallBoy]

Surely we will appeal that red.

[Heisenberg]

Fantastic point. Well done lads 

[Simon3737]

46 points and a cup (semi) final! 🤪
