He's done better in the last 20 minutes or so. Before that he was giving the ball away even more than PEH normally does. Could be a match winner with a touch more composure.

A good line apart from Stephens. Lucky.

Better first half from Saints than most we've seen at St Mary's recently.

Boufal looking poor so far.

Lucky Saints. What is it with Saints awful defending at St Mary's?

Given Saints position there's virtually no chance that any quality players will be coming to St Mary's in the transfer window. We are most definitely one the worst 3 sides in the league. Porous defence and struggling to score will result in relegation I reckon.

Normal service has been resumed. Finishing woeful again (except Ings).

Useless finishing by every player apart from Ings.

Ings denied. Didn't look a foul to me.

That's handball. Lucky Saints.

Defence just useless. Too easy for them.

Defence split wide open straight away.

Can't be any worse 2nd half surely.

PEH awful header. Just like everything else he does.

What an absolute shambles we are at the back. And in midfield.

And there we are. Useless.

Has PEH managed to find another Saints player with a pass at all yet?

No composure in Saints play at all. Hardly able to string a couple of passes together.

Bertrand trying his best to concede a goal.

Dreadful so far.

An early Christmas gift to Newcastle. Missed too many chances and the same old defensive howlers.

Criminal to lose this game.

Quite a miss from Bertrand even if he was offside.

Defence standing like statues.

Is it too much to suggest that Saints should have more than one? We really need to be more clinical.
