Defending doesn't exactly fill me with confidence at the moment.

We'll be playing with 10 men soon at this rate.

Oh well. Back to the cricket. Might be an idea to try shooting with some belief rather more. A nice easy win for the Gunners next Saturday now please.

Maybe it might be better if we didn't go with the idea of scoring all our goals in one game. Blunt attack yet again.

Having been a Saints fan for many decades it's not weird at all.

Shocking defending. Not all over yet.

The final ball is always just a hopeful punt. No ideas in attack at all.

How many times has Wanyama lost the ball in midfield? Another awful performance.

Only starting? Saints have been poor for weeks now. Attack is ponderous and predictable. Hardly any penetration at all and now the defence is creaking.

Saints doing their best to keep the relegation contest interesting.

Already Saints don't look up for this game either.

Good Villa performance. Liverpool were woeful. Rather than hope Arsenal win the final I suppose Saints could actually try scoring some goals and try winning a few games.

As an attacking force Saints are pretty blunt. Hardly peppering the goal are we?

Saints crosses into the box invariably find a defender.

The problems in attack have been building for months without being addressed. There's still time to stop the season turning into a damp squib but things don't look good at the moment.

A few shots from distance for a change. Poorly executed though.

Poor in final third ... again!

Well maybe Saints should try shooting at goal more often. JWP needs to find out how to put the ball in the net too.

Just knew it.

Saints inability to convert chances into goals would seem to have struck again. Oh well. Replay it is then.

Lucky to have been out doing something else last night by the sound of it. Looking at the stats it would appear to be the same old story though. Plenty of possession leading to very little in the way of shots at goal. I take it Saints were trying to walk the ball into the net again. The suspensions mean that the Everton game might find things turning even nastier. Hopefully a corner can be turned before this turns into a freefall.

Once again. Defensive errors combined with profligacy in attack.

Two goals gift-wrapped to v. Persie.

Unlucky Saints. Injuries are starting to cost us points. Just as a matter of interest though. Has anyone ever seen Mayuka have a good game?

My stream isn't all that good but it looked to me that Pelle nodded that in. Good time to equalize though.
