We can thank our lucky stars for that point because we certainly didn't deserve it. The only good thing I can say is that we were effective. Two goals in two and half chance. A real shame we didn't manage to get more shots on target. Against Kelvin Davies you don't need to do much more than hitting the target.
They were the better team through the game, created plenty of opportunities, better organised, sharper, quicker, technically better, quite simply better as individuals and as a collective.
Going forward we are incredibly slow, nothing is free flowing, every player who is on the ball seems to struggle to find a good solution.
Defensively it is too easy to create chances against us, regardless of whether we press high as we did in the first half, or sit deeper like we did towards the end of the game.
Ben Davies had a mare today, hardly did anything right.
Fazio once again seemed to caught completely off guard when Southampton very surprisngly pinged a cross into the box towards a big striker. I think he was even their only man in there. Be more alert, for fudge's sake, get some body contact, don't let him take three steps freely and then meet the ball without competition.
Dier deserves credit for two good assists, and was the best player in the back four defensively too. Chadli took his goal well, and was the only player who showed anything positive before his goal too. A couple of nice runs down the left and at least one good cross for Mason. I can't say too much positive about the rest.
Pochettino needs to be more proactive rather than reactive for me. In the second half at 1-1, they were dominating completely, so do something before it is too late. I thought Dembele should have been brought on the stabilise things in the middle of the park where we were being overrun.
