A very flat performance with too many players sloppy and below par. Southampton did what Arsenal did to us in the first few minutes of their game only all game and it worked. We did get in behind them a few times but a poor final ball and finishing let us down. I know Southampton did what they had to but fuck me was it annoying and boring to watch. Stopping the game, cheating, timewasting the lot. Moss should have clamped down more but when does he ever?
I was right behind the penalty and straight away I said no way was it a penalty. The sending off was even more ridiculous. Thank God common sense prevailed. It was bloody frustrating though as we'd given the ball away sloppily about three times in quick succession and you knew we were going to cop it.
Tight games like this expose our need for a proper striker, a physical presence to make life uncomfortable for defenders and hold up play...oh and bloody score!
All in all a game we could easily have lost so sloppy were we so a point is better than none. I think retaining the title this season will be a big ask. Indeed with our fixtures coming up unless there's a big improvement and we get our injured players back it could be over quicker than we thought.
