Sheaf Saint

If the ref didn't see that then he is simply unfit to be a referee. End of. That could have ended Haidara's career. The FA need to haul him in over that and suspend him.

I disagree. Hooiveld was injured so Fonte was the obvious replacement. Davis for Ramirez was the right sub at the right time as Liverpool looked like getting more of a grip of the game in midfield. The only one I will grant you is Do Prado coming on for Lallala, who had to go off because he was knackered. The only contributions I saw from Guly were to stand by and let a Liverpool player drift past him into our penalty area with ease, and to fall over and give the ball away when we had an excellent opportunity to break following a Liverpool attack. Two out of three ain't bad.

I have been critical of him so far this season, in particular his poor delivery from set-pieces which has been a massive weak-point, but I thought he had his best game in a Saints shirt yesterday. And the fact that he was subbed on 56 minutes is no reflection on his ability or his stamina - it was a purely tactical decision from the manager, in response to Liverpool bringing on Lucas, to shore up the midfield and prevent Liverpool gaining a foothold in the game... and it worked.

No. We beat them just before and then followed up with two successive defeats to Newcastle and QPR immediately afterwards. Happens every time with Saints for some reason.

We looked a bit nervy after the break and were letting Liverpool have a bit more possession in midfield than in the first half. Gaston didn't look exhausted or injured but I reckon MP brought Davis on to shore things up a little and stop Liverpool from getting a foothold in the game. It worked too - we looked a lot more composed with Davis in the team.

I just hope their cup run will be a distraction for them. If they win their two games in hand our safety cushion is only 1 point.

Great performance all round today - nobody had a bad game. Just what we need in the run-in. Very well-deserved 3 points and a 7-point cushion over the drop zone now. Very happy this evening.

For all our stuttering in recent games, we are now only two points away from 11th!

He fulfilled his price tag for me today. Great performance and well taken goal - contender for MOTM as well. Take a bow son.

So Guly's first contribution is to fall over and give the ball away cheaply. Great stuff.

I don't think I can watch the last 10 mins

Jay Rodriguez you f***ing beauty!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my GOD how did we not score there!?

Villa 2-2 QPR

Phew. That was good play!

Oooh. Last ditch defending.

Pathetic free kick to give. Lallana's foot was nowhere near him.

Nicely done from Clyne there.

Looking more composed since Davis came on I reckon. He gives more protection to the defence than Gaston does, as well as getting involved going forward.

Oooooh. Good piece of play. Unlucky.

F***ing Suarez and his playacting!

Good work from Shaw. Corner.

Oooh. Close shave.

Good delivery from Lallana there.

Looking a lot more nervy than we did in the first half. Davis on for Gaston - good sub IMO.
