Dibling trying to do it all by himself. Sometime make the pass.

There's no saving that. All 3 goals gifted to Liverpool.

Oh FFS! Soft penalty to them.

Loads of room behind the Liverpool defence. Play it in there for runners. Mind you, Saints seem to be running out of puff again. Fitness not up to it?

What the hell was McCarthy doing? 2-2.

That goal was anti-RussBall.

A quick break from Saints. Dibling sets up ArmA, on to Fernandez, GOAL!

Dead leg?

Tall Paul injured.

I'm imagining Martin giving Dibling a roasting for running at their defence rather than waiting for a sideways pass. What's the betting Tall Paul gets subbed too?

Tall Paul did well to hold on to possession there but the trouble is every player seems to have it drilled into them that they must always look for a backward or sideways pass.

Dreadful penalty.

Penalty saved - rebound in. 1-1.

Dibling runs at the defence and winds penalty - or is it? Looks on the line to me.

I have no idea what Russell Martin is expecting to happen when dicking around with the ball in our own penalty area. Liverpool maybe thought there'd be some long clearances to deal with given Tall Paul's presence but it didn't take them long to press high up and wait for the mistake.

Lallana's pulled up.

Playing like this comes from the coach. I really can't believe the players want to play like this.

Dicking around with it. Liverpool score.

Stephens with a namby-pamby challenge. Liverpool break fast and have a shot.

Liverpool get a free kick and put the thing in the box. And have a shot. See, Russ, it can be done.

We're still dicking around with it far too much inside our own half.

What's the problem with putting free kicks into the Liverpool penalty area?

Tall Paul getting stuck in.

Put the free kick in the box FFS.

Good run with the ball from Downes but I could hear Russell telling him to stop and pass back from here.
