    Even Ralph agrees that we never defended well enough for long enough...

    Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl, speaking to BBC Sport: "The last 15 minutes we didn't defend like we had to. It doesn't count, we had 30 minutes of the second half perfect.

    You can play well and dominate but you have to 1 take chances and 2 try to not let easy goals in. The last two Spuds goals were straight through the middle.

    Yeah I’m kidding and pissed off. I dont think you’ll marry VAR.

    But, i get the ref gave it, but I cant see how they can back that up. I think Gunn may have touch the ball also, rendering the penalty wrong. I’m convinced he dived, and that was no different to the Bertrand moment in the 1st half when Lloris brushed him whilst pulling his arms back out the way. That wasn’t given, rightly, and I dont see this as so different.

    Gunn also quite clearly gets his right foot on the ball before any other contact is made.

    If Ings had been brought down like that in the 86th minute, VAR would have overturned it and given the goal kick.

    Would have maybe been the correct decision, but just saying.

    Clear contact on someone who was already throwing himself forward in my opinion.

    It’s ok criticising the defence but bugger me we should have been out of sight before the last fifteen minutes but that is the usual story

    Adam Blackmore saying Ralph said Ward-Prowse's injury is just a deep cut, could be fit for Burnley. Thank the footballing Gods.

    Although we were better than them for 65-70 minutes tonight, I must say, I didn't fancy ET. Some of our lads looked shagged. Ings must have run more in that game than any other this season! I'm so glad he came through unscathed. Spurs grew into that match at the end, and sensed blood, and I think that would have been the pattern in time added on. I didn't think it was a pen, but the whole game felt like VAR was turned off, so its no biggie. We will most certainly have worse against us before the season finishes. Proud of the team tonight, hope they all go off and have good family time as the recharge. Same with Ralph and the backroom. Cheers for giving us hope, even though it kills.

    Well at least var means we're talking about the football now rather than refereeing decisions.

    The other thing - and a genuine question is do VAR say

    "Hey Spurs fan ref, we think he dived as there was minimal contact if any, what did you see"

    If he replied:

    "I saw the keeper take him out slightly with his hand and that from 5 yards away it looked obvious" then I have less of a problem with it.

    If VAR just look and say "Yep good call" without asking the ref why he gave it, then there is an issue.

    Two goals really should've been enough against that Spuds team tonight IMO.

    My general point is that we had a chance to strengthen but failed to buy a CB which was the area I was most concerned with, Vester as third choice doesn't fill me with much confidence which is a shame because on the whole the team are playing extremely well.

    Surely we need to offload one (or two) before getting another in.

    I keep playing it back as I’m sure in my head he’s saying “Son is just a massive c****”

    Glad we didn't sell Vesti. Seriously. I think.

    This one is going to sting for a while. I really thought we were going through when Ings scored. :( But I still enjoyed the evening. What a fantastic stadium.

    I actually genuinely think there is a good footballer in there somewhere.

    "Jack Stephens" That is all.

    Ridiculed by many in the past, now one of our best players and fitted in at RB perfectly.
