Southampton 2 - 2 Newcastle United - 15/10/17 - Post-match reaction from page 29

[Dave]

Am I right in thinking Lascelles got beaten in a 50/50 leading up to the penalty btw? Not good enough that.

Yeah. Should have cleared the lot out and usually would. But went in a bit half hearted for some reason.

It is a great banner tbf, photo of SJP, the name of the site, does everything a banner should.

[Darth Crooks]

Lot of positives just so frustrating and two points dropped.

[Conjo]

Seeing as we should have had 2 red cards I can't be dissapointed with a point.

[Lush Vlad]

Yedlin and who else? If you’re thinking Hayden, then no way is that second challenge a yellow.

[Darth Crooks]

Thought the ref had a good game despite not being a letter of the law type.

[Lush Vlad]

Yeah. He didn’t blow his whistle for every bit of contact and the game flowed well. Yedlin should have been off, mind. So I doubt Southampton fans think the same.

Thought he was shocking myself, the Yedlin decision being absolutely ridiculous.

Thought he was poor in the first half, clearly giving Southampton ‘home advantage’ in decisions. I don’t think we can complain about his 2nd half performance, another referee would have given Yedlin a 2nd yellow.

Hm. I like a ref who isn't in a rush to dish out the cards. Didn't feel he disadvantaged is particularly at many points.

[Guest firetotheworks]

The ref was pretty poor, like. It just so happens that we were the one benefiting from his poor decisions.

Agree to this, was shocked when we didn't get at least a yellow on a couple of occasions.

Agreed. Lejeune was suckered into a bad challenge, but Lascelles was at fault too.

 

When he first came here, Lascelles often looked a bit indecisive, and prone to getting caught in no man's land. He's improved a lot in that area, but there's still a bit of work to do.

[samptime29]

Shame we couldn't see the game out, but still think a point is a decent result tbh.

FFS man, it's early days with Murphy. He's a kid and there's absolutely no way anyone can say with any confidence whether he'll succeed or not. Don't know why it's such a race on here to pass judgement on players.

 

Agreed.

Aye, never went into that tackle properly. Should won that tackle all day long.

[Big Geordie]

How appallingly bad was Sky's coverage, btw? Once again - totally biased against Newcastle. What is it they have against the club and supporters? Do they detest us as much as Ashley?

[ElDiablo]

On a side note, Lemina is an excellent player. Carried their midfield.

Aye, he really stood out for them. Seemed to have a bit of everything.

[xLiaaamx]

He's a bit like Merino. Except obviously Merino plays for us so he's much more lovable.

He was the best player on the park for me today. If he didn't play, we'd have humped them.

 

Great atmosphere in the away end today and overall a good away performance. A shame we couldn't have brought all 3 points home but a good point and an entertaining game.

[Yorkie]

Loved how direct and incisive our play was for the second goal. No head dropping, just straight back into it with some effective play. McClaren's side crumbles at that point, but not these players - good attitudes across the board.
