The sad thing is that Everton weren't that much really. Saints moving into real relegation trouble now. Need 3 points in Sheffield.

It's not as though Saints' blunt attack hasn't been obvious for far too long.

Redmond off at last.

Redmond loses it again.

Zero idea in attack. Nothing at all. The players themselves seem to know they'll never score.

This is like so many Saints second halves this season. We're never going to score. It's the hope that gets you.

FFS Redmond. What on earth was that?

Saints have had 2 attempts. Neither on target.

Redmond loses it again and gives away a free kick. Another one into Saints box coming up.

No idea at all in the attacking third.

Here comes another free kick into the box. Saints will get found out in the end.

Everton always looking to get forward. Saints not so much.

Redmond loses it again.

Well that's a dodgy free kick.

That's it lads. A good position on the edge of their box so just pass it to a defender. The lack of composure in the final third is killing us.

Saints final third work so frustrating yet again.

There's going to be a time when another side work out how to beat Saints free kick defence.

Offside.

Redmond gives it away again. And then gives away a dangerous free kick. You could almost write the script.

Route one and all too easy for them.

Should I be looking hopefully up towards a catchable Palace or looking worryingly down towards a rejuvenated Fulham? Just a few weeks ago neither seemed to be on the cards.

Commentators don't seem to understand why Welbeck was penalised. It's because Welbeck isn't allowed to play the ball twice without another player touching it after the penalty.

Shambles with Lee Mason at WBA.

I suspect Saints will manage to grab enough points to avoid sliding into the bottom 3 this season but it's next season that I'm worrying about. Any decent Saints players are not going to enjoy losing every week so will likely be off. Likewise the prospect of another struggle next season won't attract talent either.

Did JWP duck out of the way of that free-kick?
