A joke.

Maybe an empty stadium suits Saints. It'll be interesting to see how they do at St Mary's, especially with that comfy win under their belts.

You just feel that Friend and Saints defence will contrive to hand Norwich something to get them back into the game.

Would be happier with a lead after taking control of that half. Final third needs to be better.

Saints have picked up where they left off. Poor at back and profligate up front.

How the hell did we lose to that rubbish, even with 10 men? Oh yes. Another silly defensive error.

Valery. What the hell?

Oh dear, Long. Rubbish.

Better hope the ref evens things up.

Even with 11 Saints defence was looking all over the place.

Dear oh dear.

A bit more composure required in the attacking areas.

On the virtually one occasion that Saints attacked with pace they scored. The rest of the game we spent much of the time passing the ball slowly around the back and then losing it when trying to edge forward. Then there was the lack of creativity in the attacking third. Typical home performance really. The sooner we scrape 40 points the better.

West Ham simply came up with the novel idea of playing as if they were the away team. Saints then put in a typical home performance.

Just shoot FFS!

JWP has hardly passed a ball forward all game.

How many more times are Saints going to give the ball away and just let West Ham stroll through the defence?

Time to make a lucky half time cup of hot Marmite. Worked last week.

Hammers just waiting for Saints to give away possession in midfield and then breaking quickly. Saints showing little urgency at all and looking vulnerable at the back. Bad mistake by the 'keeper. It'll need a change of attitude 2nd half otherwise I suspect it'll be an easy home win.

Dreadful!

Oops!

Saints with a lot of possession but not looking very dangerous.

Sloppy stuff from Saints so far.

Made hard work of that. Just a bit more composure in the attacking third and that would have been over well before a nervy end.

Saints handing back control of this game.
