Wide open in midfield. Giving away freekicks in dangerous areas because we’re so good at defending set pieces. Fernandes decides not to shoot in our best chance so far.

So a standard week then?

[BotleySaint]

Just an inevitable wait until the mistake that gifts Everton the goals.

Liverpool and Man City both losing 

So we've still got a shot at the title, yes?

[AlexLaw76]

Who has touched the ball most? thb or beds?

[Mr X]

Just not making the right decisions in the final third

We will be winning some titles this season, don't you worry about that....!

[Saint NL]

Some gamesmanship from Everton with these stoppages....

Or the other two thirds 

[obelisk]

Giving the ball away a lot now.

Record points low being one of them and most goals conceded 😂

[SaintsBarry74]

74% possession 0 shots on or off target.

We're battering them.

[LGTL]

Absolute turgid shit this is 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Commentator - Southampton always backwards to go forwards. FFS.

Just imagine how good we'd be if we tried the exact opposite of what we are doing.

No fannying around, quick, direct, decisive attacks, shoot when we see an opening. 

[hypochondriac]

Downes proper crap so far.

I agree. He's the pivot but he never turns, just passes it back to where it came from. 

[OttawaSaint]

That should be a red card no?

Reckless and high, studs up.

I would much rather see that than Russball I have known idea why he thinks his style is some kind of art! 

[Sheaf Saint]

Well this is predictably shit isn't it.

[Saint NL]

Looked a shocker from Tarkovski

[OttawaSaint]

Shit free kick.

Martin has already said he won't change his "style" so yes, it is predictably shit again.

I'm ok with that. If you can't be good then be utter shit, no one remembers mediocrity.

Shit, I thought he meant hairstyle...

[RedArmy]

Get Armstrong off for Dibling ffs 

[stknowle]

Armstrong is utter gash at this level.

[obelisk]

We've just managed to pass the ball from the edge of their area all the way back to Ramsdale.

[HKsaint]

Rubbish

I don't want anyone to remember us. Always happy to go under the radar!

He’s not fit, hasn’t trained all week. But yeah, he’s been horrible so far.

Get Dibling on FFS, Armstrong is shocking. 

[Saint NL]

Nearly half an hour in and Pickford has barely touched the ball yet. 

[OttawaSaint]

Tell you what, shampooed the car the other day. Fuck she looks good.

[vectraman]

This is soooo bloody boring. No shots after half an hour. 
Russ - goals win games. Not possession.

70% possession though!! 

[Suhari]

Half an eye on the game as I cook a beef madras.

We're still dull as fuck I see.

Bollox: opening a beer.

[Colinjb]

Trying to be objective. We are holding possession well, limiting and restricting Everton. We are starting to get opportunities but the final ball isn't there.

If we wern't so predictable at gifting chances and fading in the second half I would almost feel optimistic.

[coalman]

This is not a game for the neutrals thus far

The whole mentality of the team isn't there. Their first thought is to go backwards or sideways. Even when an opening appears we rarely run into it or look for the forward ball. Attacking intent has been completely coached out of us.

It is a life sentence for a Saints fan. 

[Saint NL]

Adam Armstrong just kicks it as hard as he can when he gets near the box 😂

Like watching kids football

[HKsaint]

0 shot ? Oh my god!

[Saint Billy]

Our set pieces are powder puff stuff.

everyone loves a goal in time added on.

Fucking Armstrong with these hip height crosses absolutely nowhere near the runners, every time

On a positive note, he is not passing backwards...

[hypochondriac]

Our crosses from the right have been horrendous. To an Everton player every single time. 

[Convict Colony]

We have more wingers than god but we play Armstong and Manning as ours and couldnt cross in a church
