Why not play a ball into the box from that attacking free kick? Instead the ball arrives back with McCarthy under pressure. Mind numbing.

Just get a shot away instead of trying to walk it into the net.

Everton still creating the better chances with a fraction of possession. Should have scored.

That was better from Saints. Beat the press but poor cross.

There's still no points for artistic impression.

Everton have managed more shots despite all that Saints pointless possession.

I don't think Everton are particularly worried. Saints have loads of possession but they're doing nothing with it. Just wait for the chance to attack with pace.

RM will be disappointed to see that free kick put into the penalty area lick that.

Saints score!!

Put the ball in the bloody box FFS!

Dreadful header from Aribo. Everton break and miss a sitter basically.

Laughable defending. Pathetic. Another set piece.

How the hell are we going to score if all we do is pass it around in our own half before giving it away and encouraging the opponent to attack with pace?

Tippy tappy in defence. Give the ball away. Concede free kick.

Anyone outside a team that can't score and concedes a hatful has to be on a winner. Looking on with a smirk while coining it too. 😋

No ABK. No Tall Paul. A real defender and a bloke who scores goals. This manager needs to go.

I expect the owner will be expecting a return on investment even if some fans are happy enough with losing every week.

There's still no points for artistic interpretation. Results are heading in the wrong direction and that's all that counts in the end.

I'd give him no further than the Ipswich game. Lose that then show him the door. If SR aren't already canvassing EPL quality managers on their availability then that would be negligent. Yes, for 30 minutes yesterday Saints went toe to toe with ManU but then they totally capitulated. Unless the plan is to just surrender what was earned with promotion last season then RM has to know he's on borrowed time.

And then reverted to slowly fannying around with the ball being passed backwards endlessly. The last shot was the penalty rebound.

What's Tall Paul like with penalties? Not that we're likely to get in the opposition penalty area often enough to find out.

To not have any shot on goal for the whole of the 2nd half makes me wonder where on earth a point is going to come from. ManU didn't even have to get out of 2nd gear after they scored their second. Saints couldn't lay a glove on them and that is a worry. If I were the owner I'd be canvassing replacements for RM.

The question will be asked yet again. How long has RM got?

RM will be quite happy with 0-3 I suspect.

400th defeat in the EPL for Saints. Open the bubbly.
