Again a good attacking position and the ball ends up back with the 'keeper.

Anyone. It really doesn't matter.

KWP is having a bit of a 'mare. On a yellow so might be worth letting him have an early bath.

Saints work a good attacking position and the ball ends up back with the 'keeper. At least try to score Saints.

Can't live with them. Lucky to only be 1-0 behind.

I wonder how different things might have been if Adams hadn't missed a goal line sitter against Wolves and fluffed another nailed on chance today just before Everton's 2nd. Saints can't afford to throw away those sort of opportunities.

That team selection was shit or bust. I think it's bust for Ralph.

Thank goodness that Brentford game was postponed or we'd have lost that too.

Quite amazing how many times a Saints strike manages to find the 'keeper.

This is another beatable team who are going to take 3 points off Saints.

Pickford's not a bad 'keeper. That and Saints finishing will probably be enough.

Adams misses. Everton score. So predictable.

Adams misses another great chance.

Optimism over already.

Well Saints surely can't be any worse in the 2nd half. Lucky to be 0-0. How many corners have Everton had?

Just hoping for a clean sheet at half time.

As usual it's panic stations when Saints occasionally reach the attacking third.

Everton are poor. Saints are terrible.

Too suggest that Saints are looking disjointed would be on the optimistic side.

Bit of a gamble but something needed to change after recent performances. We'll have to see whether it pays off.

Villa were so poor that they couldn't even manage more than a 1-0 victory against a pub team.

Dreadful. Losing to yet another poor team. Hardly a chance created all game.

Unbelievable how many times Saints midfield have given the ball to Villa. We just cannot build any sort of momentum.

It's like there's a complete lack of belief among the Saints players. Villa can't believe how easy this game is.

Are Saints playing for a narrow 1-0 defeat? Sure feels like it.
