Saints attack profligate again while the defence always looks like it could concede. We'll need at least one more goal I reckon.

All this injury time means we'll concede in the 48th minute of the first half.

Not much point in having more possession if it's being spent farting around in our own half. I think the point being made here is that at home there's often not much in the way of chances being created. Neither is there much in the way of urgency. Opponents know how to play us at St Mary's so something needs to change. The statistics don't lie. A game at SMS never has a confident feel about it, even when Saints manage to get a 2 goal lead.

Just two attempts on target all game to their six. That just about sums Saints up at home.

Is there another place where we can play our home games?

No urgency or creation at all. Better hope for 3 away wins. We're hopeless at home.

Saints crossing as abysmal. Hardly created anything at all.

At Anfield that'd be a penalty.

Have Saints tested Pope at all this half? Corner. Miss.

Saints defence cut apart again. Lucky.

Maybe if Saints played their home games somewhere away from St Mary's.

Saints need to create a lot more than this.

Was almost bound to happen.

Burnley quite happy to see Saints farting around with the ball in their own half.

Burnley not much to worry although those long high balls always likely to cause Saints defence a problem. Saints not really creating much despite all the possession. Need more composure in that attacking third.

Saints defence looking awful. Best just to lump the ball upfield.

Wood going off. That is a bonus.

Typical home performance so far.

What on earth happened there?

Saints have played well but it's what many will take from the game.

The game has summed up Saints. Poor finishing and porous defence.

Bertrand looks knackered.

Saints could certainly learn some lessons today about how to take your chances.

Easy to see how Liverpool are so far ahead at the top if they get to play every game with 12 men.

Well if that is being cheated I don't know what it.
