Saints just don't have any sort of defence to speak of.

Any ball into the Saints penalty area looks dangerous. Here comes yet another free kick.

Defensive shambles.

A shot on target already. And then a poor corner.

I thought that team selection was a brave decision last week. To stick with it is foolhardy. I'm guessing that Ralph already has something new lined up. He'll no doubt just be waiting to be shown the door with a pocket full of loot I guess.

Ralph shows his stubborn side. First sub around 80 minutes when 3 goals down?

BT Sport crew writing Saints off. "A club in decline". 😬

Is he good in the air? If he is then that's fine with me 'cos that is most definitely something we're missing.

The call from McCarthy should have been either "away" or "'keeper". Did he make any utterance at all? He started to come for it and then went back. The more I look at it the more I see it as the 'keeper's ball. Mind you, he'd have to be brave.

Djenepo gets in some great positions but never finds the right ball.

Every Saints corner has been pants.

And there goes the optimism.

Ludicrous.

If only we had a defence.

Frenetic stuff but Saints giving a good account. Just needs Walcott to get into the game really.

Has the ref forgotten to pack his yellow card?

Let's call that a brave selection there by Ralph. 😐

McCarthy in goal? Oh well.

No chance of that. Pass back to the defence and look to slowly recycle, unless the ball is lost of course. 😁

Are we missing some height up front - and at the back? Am I alone in bemoaning the lack of a Pelle style character?

Still looking bereft of ideas and slow in the attacking third while the midfield and defence always have a mistake waiting to happen. Livramento looks a good buy and made an instant impact today but unless we have some goals in us we'll struggle. Long? Why? We could easily end up with nil points at the end of September. As for the season, well, 40 points looks a long way off.

Have learned today that McCarthy should not be first choice?

What on earth has happened to Armstrong? So poor today.

Tino MOTM already.

Handy subs those.
