Put the ball in the bloody box FFS!

Dreadful header from Aribo. Everton break and miss a sitter basically.

Laughable defending. Pathetic. Another set piece.

How the hell are we going to score if all we do is pass it around in our own half before giving it away and encouraging the opponent to attack with pace?

Tippy tappy in defence. Give the ball away. Concede free kick.

Anyone outside a team that can't score and concedes a hatful has to be on a winner. Looking on with a smirk while coining it too. 😋

No ABK. No Tall Paul. A real defender and a bloke who scores goals. This manager needs to go.

I expect the owner will be expecting a return on investment even if some fans are happy enough with losing every week.

There's still no points for artistic interpretation. Results are heading in the wrong direction and that's all that counts in the end.

I'd give him no further than the Ipswich game. Lose that then show him the door. If SR aren't already canvassing EPL quality managers on their availability then that would be negligent. Yes, for 30 minutes yesterday Saints went toe to toe with ManU but then they totally capitulated. Unless the plan is to just surrender what was earned with promotion last season then RM has to know he's on borrowed time.

And then reverted to slowly fannying around with the ball being passed backwards endlessly. The last shot was the penalty rebound.

What's Tall Paul like with penalties? Not that we're likely to get in the opposition penalty area often enough to find out.

To not have any shot on goal for the whole of the 2nd half makes me wonder where on earth a point is going to come from. ManU didn't even have to get out of 2nd gear after they scored their second. Saints couldn't lay a glove on them and that is a worry. If I were the owner I'd be canvassing replacements for RM.

The question will be asked yet again. How long has RM got?

RM will be quite happy with 0-3 I suspect.

400th defeat in the EPL for Saints. Open the bubbly.

This could easily have approached 0-9.

Saints get into a good attacking area outside the Utd penalty area and then the ball goes back and back and back until it's given away with Utd having a shot on goal. That's hopeless.

Any optimism from the first 30 minutes has completely evaporated.

Stephens sent off so that's a bonus I suppose.

Have we even had a shot on goal this half?

United look like they could score another any time they want to be honest.

If anything Saints have got worse this half. Backwards passing has returned and hardly making any progress over the half way line. It's like they've given up. But here come the subs.

Saints slightly more direct in attack but still over-passing and missing runs off the back of Utd's defence. Doesn't help if missing with a free shot from 12 yards out though.

Ever since that penalty miss Saints have just fallen apart. Stephens playing 3 attackers onside for their first goal and the 2nd was just a shambles. Ramsdale playing a blinder otherwise it'd be even worse.
