Can't score and can't defend. Doesn't bode well.

Started well and then tailed off badly. St Mary's has turned into a bit of a jinx ground.

Typical.

Hoedt nearly scores. At the wrong end.

It would ave been easier for PEH to get a shot off. So why didn't he?

Stupid dive.

Saints very poor with 50/50 tackles.

Jeez! Defence is useless.

Powder puff defending.

Some pretty good possession from Saints but we're still lacking that finish in front of goal. Ings unlucky just before half time. Leicester not very good but Saints look vulnerable when they break. This has 0-1 written all over it.

Seeing the full range of Everton dives now.

Keep giving away these stupid free kicks.

The Everton marking was worse than Saints.

No pressure on the Everton players at all. They just stroll into our penalty area without any problem at all.

One way traffic.

Defending corners and free kicks launched into the penalty area will be moments of worry with that line up. Maybe we simply plan to outscore them.

Ings looked lively and seemed up for it. Denied a clear penalty at the death. Let's just forget about the first hour or so shall we?

Saints defence worries me. Standing off opponents and allowing them to easily get balls into the box is never a good plan. Also giving away too many silly free kicks which just allows Burnley the chance to stick one in the area. Lucky to be at 0-0.

Saints an absolute shambles. Lucky to still be in this.

Saints lucky to get the offside decision there.

Saints hardly had a kick yet.

Well BM gave us a chance towards the end which allowed us to witness the same old poor finishing that we're so used to.

I think I understand the plan. It must be to lull Burnley into a false sense of superiority.

Saints tackling particular poor. Every 50/50 being lost. Maybe friendly in the sunshine syndrome.

Saints defence easily opened up there. 0-1.
