Yep. In agreement. Utter tyre fire. Just keeps smoldering and smoldering and we seem clueless about how to put it out.

Trouble is, we have a habit of psyching ourselves out of games like that being unable to capitalize on our chances and ending up with 0-0, 1-1 or the unthinkable sucker-punch 0-1. Hopefully we thrash someone soon and get the shot in the arm to get us that all too elusive confidence.

Huddy 1-0 up.

We’ll huff and puff and swing in crosses to no-one. We’ll get yellow cards. We’ll miss easy chances that somehow drop for us. We’ll lose from an uncontested header late on. We’ll hobble on to the next, rinse and repeat.

You could put in most of those now at their current age and they’d probably do better than our shower.

Same dismal 0-0s, same getting thrashed by big teams, same blowing leads in crucial games. Eerily similar.

God, if this **** had just given Koeman what he wanted. He’s wasted 10-20x that and we’re 10+ places down the league.

Didn’t see anything today that we have any character to actually win another game this year. No leaders. Anybody see the older players or captain gee up the team or the younger players. Nope, just a shrug and wait until we kick off again.

Big statement game! Players to stand up and be counted in the wake of the Ethiad massacre. Here comes the backlash!

Yes I’m salivating at the prospect of us sleepwalking through the Watford and Fulham games too.

No. Where did I say they had? Just preferring the fight other teams seem to show. We’re dead and buried once the first goal is in.

Obviously not but they are playing Chelsea, another of the title contenders that regularly dispatches of **** like Saints. We can only dream of somehow taking a point off a top 6 team.

Palace showing us how to hang around and show some fight. 1-1 vs Chelsea so far. Chelsea the lion’s share of possession but Palace keeping shape and fighting hard. #mustbenice

Looked like a pub team. Embarrassing to hear the pundits on both Canadian channels here shaking their heads and commenting just how lacklustre and devoid of ideas we have become.

Don’t label them, respect them.

They just gave up there. That is very worrying. I guess they still get paid and can wriggle out of their contracts when we get relegated.

The 6-1 doesn’t worry me. The lack of fitness does. The lack of fight does. The feeling that we won’t just snap out of this rut any time soon does. The lack of ideas, shape, creativity, guile, pace, finishing does.

But Jesus, a blind squirrel sometimes finds a nut.

Long will never ever score again. Ever.

Hope Oba gets a chance vs Watford. Last season they threw him in vs Spurs and then just binned him back to the u23s.

I wish Saints would try as hard as Glasgow...

Did Long just clear it off the City line?

Why is fitness an issue here. Not even at 70 mins and the players look knackered.

Stupid smug cow. Should have a word with her about who most of these City fans supported when they were league 1.

Can’t believe we scored. Typical Saints, ****s up my FPL too with Laporte and Ederson (Captain). ****ing Saints!
