Silly yellow from Bertrand. Should never have let Antonio get in front of him as easily as that.

Collins is clearly injured and can't get the bench to acknowledge he needs subbing. We need to put pressure on him now.

Yep. I always get nervous when he gets too close to the oppo's penalty area, because you just know he will give it away and leave a big gap in the middle of the park for them to run into on the counter.

We really should be out of sight by now. It's poor finishing again that is costing us.

Yeah, me too. There's no way that ball was going in if it didn't hit Jenkinson. Whatever. A goal is a goal and it puts us in a good position so I don't really care.

Oooh, that was a decent effort from Davis.

Replay shows clearly it was an OG from Jenkinson.

Davis lucky not to get booked there. West Ham look pretty ragged. If we can score another one now while they are on the ropes I can't see them getting back into it.

Super stuff. what about that flick from Mane? Looks like the confidence is well and truly back.

You could be right. Going by the direction he was looking and the shape of the swing of his foot, it does look like he was trying to lay it across to the un-marked player to his left. Of course, he will never admit that though.

And here was me thinking that the December GOTM was a foregone conclusion after Saturday's game.

I said it at half time, after his dreadful miss towards the end of the half. I am happy to be proved an utter moron in this respect.

Yeah I clocked that. He probably realises that he's going to have to fight to get his starting place back after such a comprehensive performance without him.

Long's finishing really is shockingly bad. He shouldn't be anywhere near the Prem IMO. Champ standard striker at best. Just how any professional striker can make such a pigs ear of the chances he gets amazes me.

Yeah that's what I'm trying to play. I'm only getting about half a meg download speed and it can't even support that.

Any low res streams? I'm at the in-laws, out in the sticks outside Kendal and their internet connection is too slow to play the sportsmania feeds.

He reminds me of Forrest Gump. The only attribute that he brings to the team is that he can run fast in a straight line.

Yet another dreadful performance from him today. He's just going through the motions and quite clearly doesn't want to be here. Drop him, sell him for whatever we can get in January and find somebody who cares about playing well and can pass the ball more than 5 yards.

The most frustrating thing is that teams don't even need to be that good to beat us at the moment. They know they just have to contain our (minimal) attacking threat and wait for us to gift them a goal or two.

Our best chance of the game and it falls to JWP of all people.

No idea. He always looked dreadful whenever I saw him play for Hull or WBA, and I haven't seen anything from him in a Saints shirt to suggest he is ever going to improve. Just think of what we could have got for the money we wasted on Long, Osvaldo and Ramirez.

Oh yaaaaaaay! The massive game-changer JWP is coming on! Wooo!

And there we have it. Take a bow Shane Long. Even by your own low standards, that is a whole new level of f*cking awful.

All those slagging off Tadic - he hasn't had his best game today but he was the only one who looked likely to actually create anything. But hey, let's take him off and replace him with a headless chicken whose only real attribute is his ability to run in a straight line. A bit like Forrest Gump. I actually despair. Koeman has lost it. He has no idea how to turn this around.

Well at least we have had two shots on target in the last couple of minutes. True, neither of them were ever going to trouble Loris, but it's progress at least.
