Not a bad point in fairness against a very good side. Again we had no attacking midfield. Nzoni cannot face up the pitch, when he gets the ball he's looking for a 5 yard square pass, and makes no movement to get it back. We are playing with 10 men every week, as Walters does nothing except make it look like he s been pollaxed every time he 's tackled. We bring on a talented winger and then don't look to give him the ball. Southampton completely dominated our midfield, we are way too slow in possession. I don't know what the answer is, we have too many weaknesses in this side.

When it's windy and you're playing high into it as we were 2nd half you have to kick it 50% harder for it to even make the defensive line.
We didn't, therefore it was shit.
Passing might have made more sense but every pass was also under hit.
Shit conditions, shit approach, shit ability.
Shit...

A point against a team flying as high as they are should not be sniffed at.

Pennant is the best crosser of the ball. Always worth putting him on the bench. Doesn't look good. 1 home win so far. Charlie Adam, Jones, Crouch, Pennant & others must be waiting for Jan transfer window. Hughes doesn't know his best team.
Its OK doing the passing game but we paly like a crab moving forwards but mostly sideways. Need quicker deliveries.
Losing away and drawing at home is relegation form I'm afraid

The weather won that match. I'll take the point. That is exactly what has just been said on our Forum. We should have won though. Obviously ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/0m0lbCuTEBzaRn6f8QaM.gif) Look forward to seeing you lot at St.Mary's

A point we didn't deserve against a very good side. Our passing and movement was woeful and yet again barely any chances created from open play. Bego saves us again. Even after 10 games I don't think Hughes knows our best team. Please no more Walters or Whelan though. For me next game Muniessa has to play in CM we need someone technically sound who can keep the ball. Best side for me and one we need to keep for a few games .............................Bego........................... GCam........Ryan.............Huth...........Eric ..................Nzonzi.........Muniesa............. ..Arno..................Ireland.............Assaidi.. ............................Crouch......................... Bego should have come for that cross and if Whelan cant hit a better corner or swinging free kick that Arnie well it says a lot

Should've been cruising at 2-0 early on. Shawcross sitter inside the 6 yard box. Constantly missing chances like that will be the death of us.

Sorry but nzonzi was dire, but no more whelan in cm he offers nothing, he needs shipping off... Walters gave all again great effort but not a damn winger in a million years. Assaidi offered more runs and pace instantly. Palacios was better than whelan but is just too slow... compound a walking steven and a forward Ireland with crouch you could of parked a lorry inbetween our forward and midfield in the cam spot. Ireland was wrong to be taken off, walters or crouch needed to be the sub. Once again hughes still doesn't know that muniesa next to steven and assaidi for walters is our best 11.

The Ref was a cunt to us today. Lambert pushed Shawcross over and the ref willed them to score, he could hardly hide his expectation! Disgusting performance by the ref.

A hard earned point against a team high in confidence. Personally could not believe Walters and Whelan in the starting 11 when we have Assaidi or Pennant wanting to run at people and Muniesa or Palacios who in my opinion are better DM than Whelan.
But a point against them is better than many predicted and I see us getting 6 points from our next 2 games. Goooaaarrrnnn Stoke!!
