obelisk

Handed a golden opportunity to take an unlikely 3 points but instead the match highlighted Saints unimaginative attack and woeful defence. What a disappointment that they couldn't even take a point after playing an hour against 10 men.

Hopeless.

Saints once again display their inability to break teams down. Spurs look much more likely to score.

Only 4 goal attempts this half says a lot.

As an attacking force Saints are really limited in ideas. Time running out.

Ref will try to even numbers up.

Well at least Saints have a goalscorer in Ings on the pitch. Whether the endlessly slow and laborious Saints attacking build up will offer much in the way of opportunities is a different matter.

Redmond disappearing into cul-de-sacs all the time doesn't help.

Dreadful. Another aimless attack breaks down and opponents attack at speed through our hopeless defence.

Remarkable.

We've got a RB on the bench so aren't we using him?

Disappointed only to score 4 if I'm honest.

Saints have just stopped playing. Dangerous.

Nice to have a goal scorer in the team. Now for an improvement in the 2nd half please.

Let's face it. St Mary's is a pretty sh!t stadium. Too nice for opposing teams and nothing like the Dell atmosphere.

I reckon a tailor's dummy would do a better job in defence than Vestergaard.

Why do I bother? Watching Saints is just too damn infuriating.

Bournemouth have been pretty poor but still better than Saints in defence and attack.

That shambles at the end says it all.

No urgency and then give the ball away

Stupid free kick to give away.

The annoying thing is that Bournemouth haven't really been much good. They're far better at taking chances though.

Any chance that a Saints player could hit the target when shooting?

VAR to Saints rescue once again.

Pacey attack. Penalty and .... goal!
