It was refreshing to see Saints crossing the ball when in the attacking third rather than recycling it endlessly back to the 'keeper. Of course that requires attackers in the box. Maybe Tall Paul will get one go in off his arse to get him underway.

Ref didn't have the guts to give that blatant foul.

Dibling looks knackered.

Wasted corner.

Linesman flags for offside at every opportunity.

Tall Paul couldn't wrap his foot round it.

Tall Paul was onside. Officials not giving Saints anything.

Close to 2-2. More like it Saints.

No scorcher from Bree tonight then.

Archer with a great goal. 1-2

I'll be watching the 2nd half on a bigger, fitter TV screen. Hopefully that'll make all the difference.

Another embarrassing Saints set piece.

Another FK. Closer this time.

Free kick to Saints. Rusty would demand it be passed back to the 'keeper.

Corner to Saints. Let's see how they screw this one up.

Saints look like they've had a couple of days off this week. It'll be a job for the new manager to get this lot fit. 0-2.

Plan must be to let the Liverpool 'keeper get wet and cold. Maybe even to fall asleep.

Ah. Deflection

0-1. Looks offside to me. McCarthy screw up as well.

It'll click soon I'm sure. Meanwhile delighted to see a lot less fannying around in our own area.

Another Saints set piece embarrassment.

They could be a couple of nags trailing in last.

Agreed. Prime position in the shop window.

For me the writing was on the wall after the Newcastle game. A sign of things to come.
