Just gave the ball away yet again and it's 3-0. Saints out of steam again. Fitness?

Forster never gets near a penalty.

Saints have grown into the game quite nicely. Now if they could just find some composure in and around the Everton penalty area this is certainly winnable.

Breaking quickly from own penalty area with several players busting a gut to get up in support? Nope. Not the current Saints style I sad to say.

Well I did call the result at half-time. Can't see us getting anything at Everton, especially as the players seem to have lost confidence.

Saints form has been pretty awful for weeks now. Lucky that there's enough other dross in the League that Saints might scramble to safety. Lack of any sort of cutting edge and now the defence has decided to join in with the woefulness.

On that form we're going to be spending a lot more time looking at teams behind us than above. That was dreadful.

There's something seriously wrong at Saints. Players don't seem up for it at all.

Verging on incompetence by Saints now.

The lack of players making runs into the penalty area during open play means we're pretty static in the final 3rd. Still got a good goal from a set piece and then all they had to do was shut up shop for a couple of minutes and we'd have a half time lead. Am I alone in thinking WBA could even nick this on the break if they wanted?

The top teams in the Premiership are just so much stronger than the rest of the league now. Mid table mediocrity if we're lucky this season.

Their midfield better than our lightweight boys. Simple as that really.

Pitch looks pretty bad.

Better.

Saints really pretty woeful at the moment.

Saints are the home side aren't they?

Are Saints one of the most boring teams to watch these days? Last night's "performance" was simply continuing a them. If anything they're going backwards - in more than one way.

This Israeli team look like they'd be happier taking on Tom Daly.

More composure please Saints.

Three tap ins from a couple of yards out. Looks like the defence is now as bad as the attack.

Palace have had 2 corners and scored from both. Saints corners not at all dangerous.

That comes from all that fannying around at the back.

Tough game this with Liverpool quick to close down. Will have to carry on playing like the away team and hope for a breakaway goal. Long?

Hull showed why they're in the bottom 3 and Saints showed why they're only 3 points ahead of them.

Only 3 points ahead of the bottom 3 then.
