Couldn't agree more. We also looked less panicky at the end when trying to hang on, our passes seemed to find each other a lot more. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Feel like singing
MOTD presenter Gary Lineker on Twitter: "Brilliant point for Southampton. Like the way they play and I'm convinced Saints will stay up."

Well earned result and a well played game by NA. Bellend commentating on my stream wondered what would have happened if Lambert had started - we'd have lost. It was the impact of him coming on that swung the match. Method in the madness and it's why NA is such a good manager. That Chelsea team is full of quality and we've grafted so hard. DC performance. Shaw and Morgan fantastic.
Go on do it...feels good! My neighbours are going to have me sectioned tomorrow! Got to love internet stream away days!
Per that stat from BBC's live commentary: during the PL era, 90 teams have gone into the half 2+ goals down at Stamford Bridge. We're only the third to come away with something.

Nigel interview on Sky ... "We came with a plan .... could we have cleared it better for the goals? .... " Love him. Rickie on as an "Impact" ... that was an Impact.
Southampton manager Nigel Adkins: "We came with a gameplan. Chelsea are a good side, we came to block them, deny them space and counter-attack. To go two goals down, when we could have cleared both, was a blow but we showed great character in the second half - great credit to my players." Any regrets about leaving Rickie Lambert on the bench? "None whatsoever, we came with a game-plan of playing with the pace of Jay Rodriguez, and then we were looking for an impact when Rickie came on. That's what I call an impact."
