S-Clarke

I'm not one of those saying he's finished, leave them to it. Personally, I think he's carrying an injury. He's lost a lot of mobility in a short space of time. Not the same since the england call up, and the injury he suffered with them.

Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino: "The ugliest side of the game was the injuries. We hope they are okay, both are heading to hospital. "In this game nothing is over until it is over. We were unlucky. In the first half we played fantastically well and deserved a third or a fourth. With the second half and the support of their fans they pushed ahead and got the equaliser. I think we deserved to win the game "The players have had a really difficult week, I want to congratulate them in light of what has happened this week. They put in an amazing effort. "In football there are no guarantees, you depend on the results it will be a decision from the people above to decide whether I should be here. It is not me who decides when we meet, it should be the chairwoman who decides. We have not had a chance to speak about next season so I don't know (about his future) yet."

Not at all. His touch was poor, he didn't hold the ball up, his passing was poor, he was falling over the ball when trying to pass it.....all that happened in the 2nd half. He was poor in the 2nd half, there's no point trying to dress that up as anything else. He was poor.

You never know, this could be the moment whereby he realises that he's staying here, he's not going to get a move for the foreseeable now. He can now get his head down and rehabilitate, and get himself back in the side next year to make a difference, if he's got the right attitude it could be like a fresh chance for him here after he recovers. He's not really had much luck here. At any time when it looks like he's about to make a breakthrough, something horrible happens to him. He started last season great for us, looked class, then he got that nasty dead leg injury and was out for what felt like months. Wasn't the same after that, lost a lot of fitness.

Why do you hate Osvaldo exactly?

He wasn't that bad today, he actually played advantage for Gaston and allowed him to continue the run. Brown did get the ball, but the follow through was awful. Don't want to watch it again as it was that nasty.

Not sure about Lovren, but Ramirez did - was shown on BT Sport.

It was a good run, real power and intent. He was opening the game up there for sure, I imagine the GK would have had to make some sort of save if he wasn't tackled.

It looks like he may even be carrying some sort of injury, as he doesn't look mobile - and that can sometimes be mistaken for looking disinterested. We need another striker.

Gaston really doesn't look good. The panic on the faces of the physio's said it all, and the fact that BT didn't replay the rest of that tackle due to the images. I think he's out of the world cup without question, doubt he'll be back for the start of next season. I feel so sorry for him, this was a period where at last he was starting to come on, do something, make a difference....and boom. He's had no luck here at all.

He was a shambles in that 2nd half. 1st half, he was at least kind of involved. But 2nd half, didn't even run for the ball, didn't make an effort to hold it.....nothing there at all. I love Lambert, he's a hero for the modern-day fan....but that doesn't excuse that 2nd half display.

Can't really take that as a positive to be honest, given our display for 60% of that match! This is Sunderland, not Man Utd.

Looked like the Achilles, possibly. Hard to say.

Agreed, a really sloppy goal at a period where the locals were on their backs, they were streaming out of their seats. We either close out that 2nd half, or get the 2nd, 3rd, 4th we deserved. Defensively pretty crap, considering how good we were at the start of the season. That goal changed the entire direction of the match, 2-0 at HT and it was a totally different 2nd half. Injuries just make it worse than I could have ever imaged after 30mins.

How is that a good result? Seriously? Come on, pretty unprofessional for us not to win that. The game should have been signed, sealed and done by HT. We were that good, that dominant. 2-0 flattered them. We should never have let them back into that in the 1st half, that goal was a nightmare.

Rubbish result, rubbish injuries, rubbish week. Not really much positive stuff in the outlook.

I'm totally dismayed at how we can dominate a game like that, yet fail to win. 2nd half from us was a shambles to be honest. Lambert, bit subdued in the 1st half, but a joke in the 2nd half. Something is up with him. It's all a bit compounded by what looks to be season ending injures to 2 of our players, and unfortunately one player we really cannot afford to lose. We cannot afford to play with either Yoshida or Jos in this league, so we need to spend if that is at all practical.

That injury to Gaston looks horrendous, long term..! Feel sorry for the lad, but we really have to spend now...although I'm not sure if it's even practical.

Our season has literately exploded in front of our eyes today. The worst result we've had in years and years.

Would agree that Lambert looks a little subdued today, but still playing well enough.

Got a feeling this will be a bit of a backs to the wall 2nd half if we don't get an early 3rd goal, which is a bit of a travesty given how good we've been.

Suspended, on the bench, and injured. What's your point?

Overriding emotion from that half has to be frustration........that game should be done, finished, zipped up and on the coach back to Southampton. The 2nd half shouldn't have to be a contest...but some how, we've let them back into it! The 1st half was a masterclass from us, but we really, really, really needed to make more of that, as were so much better than them at stages in that game. Tricky 2nd half coming up.

"If Andros Townsend was at Southampton he would not have had nine loans -he would have had his development through the leagues there like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott did. That is the market they are in." I don't quite get his point? Basically, he's saying we play our youngsters and put pride in our academy, but Spurs push them out on loan for years? So, he's actually downtrodden Spurs there in terms of English development?

That is a truly, truly, appalling article. And he's probably been paid for that.... Wow.
