Arguably yes, we do. Defensively we are worse than last year by a long way.

I don't blame them entirely. We lack any decent defensive midfield cover. Hoj and Lemina are not the answer in that position. Romeu has lost his way. We have no-one decent enough to fill in - maybe Jack Stephens ?

Teams know that if you wait long enough we'll never score anyway and the players switch off after 60-70 mins.

Again you mean?

We have drifted through the game without any real conviction. We are short of quality, energy and real desire to win. Not even sure what's required to turn it around now. I don't blame the manager - the squad isn't good enough.

There we have it. Zero points again.

Been waiting for it for the last 20 minutes at least. It's inevitable that with all these wasted opportunities we'll find a way to lose all the points.

Potential stamp but I think it was harsh.

What does Austin have to do for Gabbiadini to get a decent run..

I've come to that conclusion too recently. For whatever reason he looks off the pace, despite game time. No real threat to anyone. Trying insanely difficult efforts on goal. He isn't as good as he thinks he is. Hopefully get the winner now

We've looked dangerous but without any serious threat to the goal. Wolves will get a break away goal in a minute. It's the Saints way.

We've replaced all our game changers with average. No-one out there is willing or can be bothered to step up.

Austin playing?

Fair point. At 3 nil there is no way back with the players we have showing the level of "commitment" they do.

Looks like Hughes told them at half time to just try and keep it at 3 nil, don't get injured and move on to next game.

Sleepy game. They will probably still end up winning 5 or 6 nil.

We seem to be outnumbered all over the pitch..

Well yes at this stage it just reveals how pointless trying to stay defensive is against Liverpool. Might as well have put 2 up front.

Got the ball I think

About what we expected so far. Fortunate it's only 2 nil. Going to be a heavy one.

Firminio easily up there.

He obviously has a lower assessment of his own team then given we beat them 2-0.

Even if we start well in this game we'll eventually shoot ourselves in the foot. Only take a one goal to destroy our confidence and then the goals flow.

Finding it hard to enjoy watching Saints these days. You'd like to celebrate the goals and feel perhaps we'll win. But can never shake the feeling that it won't last and when they got the first one back you almost expected Brighton to go on and win. No point getting hopes up. Sad really but I'm just weary of it..

Look pretty much the same as last year. We create more I think and we do have a regular goal scorer in Ings. But we don't win the games we should win.. St Mary's is an easy game for any team.
