As we know, referees make mistakes....and in our games. It was a penalty and it is very odd that you insist it was not

LOL

Matt Targett makes his Champions League debut, under a manager deemed not good enough for Saints, when linked, thrashes PSG

He had his arms around his waist whilst falling into him = foul

They have a few injuries and horrific away from home....0-1 then lol

Without hindesight, yes it is better now. This squad should be serious contenders for top 2. If you asked anyone at the start of that promotion season, no way. Obviously, we had some serious players and leaders in that team

LOL. he rugby tackled him.

The Bednarek challenge was a penalty all day long

He'd probably get in ahead of Adam Armstrong though

Good but scrappy game. Got to see a different side to the players (real grit at the end). However, not winning that game would have been a poor result, they have a very large injury list, and we were hanging on in the end with a good defensive wall. The defence was good, can't see a reason at all to change that on Sat. Downes was very good, Stu and Smallbone were tidy. Charlie was OK. Sully was excellent going forward, woeful in defence - which against a full strength stoke/better team, could easily cripple us. Arma was busy and suits a wide forward position. This is a set up that suits us more. More pragmiatism, but we still clearly have better players than most. I think having Che or Stewart for Alcaraz would be better...as we offered nothing as a goal threat in the 1st half, better in the 2nd. Mara has to score that chance BTW.

how does he have a stinking attitude? very strange comment As for starting line up, I am not sure having alcaraz in the hole really works. Until the goal last night, we offered zero goal threat, but scored (again) on our first shot on target. This against a team with monumental injuries...so hardly their best 11

which games?

As there should have been, they have a massive injury list

It was a good defensive display, but they also have a horrific injury problem at the mo.

Downes was good!!??

Really? Their first shot on target was in the 96th min

Not pretty, but a win and we should have got another with 2 great chances Lets be straight, the ref was favourable to us....Stoke should have had a penalty. Lets make it 3 in a row on Sat...

He has to score that. very poor miss

We would have expected that for a penalty

Thought the game lacks quality. Certainly from us in the final 3rd. Just offering nothing up front. Your typical championship match, but guess will always be on a Tue night in Stoke

You don't save those

Bit of a daft comment

Stoke have big injury problems... https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-southampton-team-news-8796533 I wonder if they will draft in a striker who has not scored for a lifetime.....you know what that means

This incident will go down in Scouse Folklore. Shirts will be worn during warmups, songs sung, Tories blamed....this is everything they revel in Until such time they benefit from a significant referring cock up
