Never recovered from stupidly giving the ball away twice in 5 seconds to concede the first goal. Good effort 2nd half but chances missed again.

More training on how to beat a 'keeper when one on one is in order. Those two chances missed over the two legs will be the difference.

Couldn't even rescue a game against 9 up there so I hold out little hope.

Red card all day long.

Should be a sending off.

That Saints waste of a free-kick ended up with a Newcastle shot at goal. Just stick it in the box FFS!

This is a semi-final, Saints. Let's at least have a go.

AA been taking lessons from Che.

Saints with loads of possession but creating virtually nothing up front. Newcastle cruising.

I'd just like to us getting the ball into the box occasionally when there's a chance to cross. Mind you, we have midgets up front but what the hell.

Newcastle think they've won this. They're probably right.

Saints might have a chance in games if they didn't pass the ball to their opponents so often. We give it away so cheaply at times.

Just seeing that 1st goal again. Twice we gave the ball away under no pressure at all. That is unforgivable.

Che hat-trick and then through on penalties. Just let me dream for a bit.

Che didn't have to think. What a shot.

Too easy for them. Just strolling through us.

Good work Bazunu.

Sick of this Sky commentary.

The most basic job in football is being able to pass to a team mate. Saints are woeful at that basic job.

FFS! Gave the ball away twice in the build up. Now might as well give up.

This Newcastle jizz-fest on the TV is doing my head in. Would just love Saints to pour some cold water on them. Admittedly unlikely though.

I'm resigned to a day of disappointment. The striker problem wasn't addressed in the summer and now the world can see that Saints are desperate. At least by the end of the day we'll know where we are - in more ways than one.

Saints are bottom of the EPL. It's going to be very difficult to persuade anyone to join, especially now that might Brighton are flashing the cash.

Give him a 6 month contract, a shed load of money and a chance to appear weekly in the EPL shop window. Who could refuse? 😬

I am already preparing to be disappointed for when Dembele turns up at Everton.
