Some positives then:

Swansea threw away a lead as well
Borough are as good as down (the more teams pretty much down and out the better)
We already knew Hull were going to fight hard
West Ham got dragged into it
We have a game in hand over some of those teams
We have a better goal difference than most of the other teams down the bottom

I know there are lots of negatives too, but that's not what my comment is for so there :P

Boro still have Burnley and Sunderland to play at home but the rest are road games or top tier opposition. It's hard to see them getting above 30 points. Interestingly, Boro's and Sunderland's game in hand is against each other so, again, not a lot of help for either team coming (of course ours is against red hot Spurs).

We have our destiny very much in our hands vis a vis Hull, because of the home game to come. However, Swansea is still a worry because of the softness of their remaining schedule.

 


We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Bad result, not the worst we've ever played though, more worried about the knock to our confidence than anything. Feels more like old times though, beat Chelsea then lose to Southampton, just wish there wasn't so much at stake. Luka's free kick was good, so was Punch's (I can see him scoring soon, I feel it in me bones), we've needed some of that, corners were a bit s*** though, need to work on that. Flamini? Is he so unfit that no manager wants to bring him on for a whole half? Agree he should have come on instead of Sako. Zaha was fouled all game but I do think he needs to try to stay on his feet more (runs for cover). WH not looking too bad, Benteke starting to look dangerous, Townsend working his bollocks off. Ref decisions mostly going our way for a change (excluding the foul on Wilf), more positives than negatives I reckon, shame the main negative was losing 3-1 though.

 


Bangell - If Camus wrote The Myth of Sisyphus today, it would be about Jason Puncheon eternally trying and failing to pass with his right foot.

Not at Southampton it seems.

As long as you're positive... That's the spirit!

 


Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

Not too grim imo if we have 17 shots in every game till the end of the season I'm sure we'll pick up enough points!

What about if we also let the other lot walk the ball into our net three times in every match? We have to defend a whole lot better than that, and for 100 minutes at a stretch.

We were absolutely knackered. Could see that from the first couple of mins when Long almost scored.

We move on, rest up and get ready to take on Arsenal on Monday.

f***ing M3 is closed as well so long drive home after that loss.

The knock to confidence is a problem but in all honesty how many points did we think we would get from Chelsea and Southampton - before last Saturday I would have taken 1 point - we have 3!
Burnley and Hull at home will define our season as I have posted before.
Win them and we are fine - lose them and we will have problems.
Losing Dann and Tomkins is also a big issue as Kelly is not good enough.
We also need MacArthur back asap to help out
