Yeah. The ref had obviously decided by then that he didn't want to hang around for a penalty shoot-out.

Slightly disappointed. Obvious that the ref didn't fancy penalties towards the end. That back line deserves to play on Saturday. Certainly can't see how THB steps back into the side.

Oh well.

Ref's happy with a Liverpool win.

That's a corner. Ref balls it up.

Didn't fancy penalties anyway.

Just remembered I paused the game at half time. Just catching up with the equaliser. Back to real time now.

A mile offside. Even a lino at Anfield has to give that.

That minute sums up Saints this season. Miss a sitter and then hand them a goal.

McCarthy plays Russball. 1-0.

Unlucky Saints.

Downes with good strength there.

Archer needed to just get a touch on that cross.

Offside but not given. Save by McCarthy.

Cross the thing!

All over 'em!

With Baz in goal that'd be 1-0.

Nearly lasted less than a minute. Giving the ball away again.

I get the idea that ITV consider Saints to be nothing more than cannon fodder for the brilliant, never better, superb Liverpool team who hardly need bother breaking sweat despite getting a freebie to the 3rd round and excused having to play any strong teams on this occasion.

Have now done so and looks marginal with Roerslev's head maybe playing him onside as he tumbles to the ground. What peeves me more is the lack of a challenge to the bloke crossing the ball who gets an age to pick his spot. Then the fact that a titch gets up above 2 defenders with ease for a header that Bazunu calmly plonks at the feet of a Hull player that's been completely lost by a ball-watching Stephens. Apart from that the defence played a blinder in that moment.

Haven't seen the "highlights" but it looked offside to me when watching live but nobody seemed to mention it and as usual Saints players just meekly accepted it. At least get in the ear of the lino.

Can't see the problem myself. We're well on course to beat the drop.

Well if we carry on with our current form of a point a game we should at least be safe from relegation. So there is that.

Saints with a pub team defence.

Plenty of time yet for Hull to make it five.
