Another header lost in our penalty area. Becoming a theme.

Almost conceded from our own (poor) corner.

That's the first good chance missed then.

West Ham had more attempts and more on target according to the Sky stats. Not bad for a team playing more than half the game with 10 men.

No it wasn't seeing it again.

Looking at the replays was the WHU 2nd offside?

At 2-0 against 10 men it should have been a walk in the park but, hey, we support Saints so that's what life is like for us.

Hardly deserved but I'll take it.

Cool penalty.

No idea in attack. Just hopeful and mostly aimless.

West Ham know that all they have to do is lump long balls at our defence.

Yet again lost a header in defence.

Embarrassing Saints.

If only, eh?

Saints almost certainly need a third here but the attacking build up is rubbish. The final shot is worse.

Lemina off. Ward-Prowse on please.

Have Saints defence won anything in the air yet? Also, why 11 back for a corner against 10?

Saints passing in midfield continues to be ordinary.

I'm not so sure we should blame FF so much as allowing the shot in the first place.

Saints just so wasteful in attack. I thought they were practising shooting this week.

Shocking defensive work. Saints seem to have gone to sleep.

Tadic must be one of the worst penalty takers we've seen at Saints for many years. Still, 2-0.

Too many passes going astray.

Ref will try and even it up. Careful Saints.

Last season we'd have lost that so I'm taking a 0-0 as an improvement. Now all that's required is to find the back of the net.
