    We deserve to be mocked after that. The 9-0 we have excuses. That dismal display I've just watched has me angry.

    Embarrassing game. We let in 3 goals with nine men, they are going for a fourth with nine men.

    Poor result imo, first half mistakes cost us. 5 defeats on the bounce now is worrying (probably more for the confidence), regardless of our injury problems.

    Hopefully we can start turning it around with players coming back fit. Full faith in Ralph to do this.

    Hopeless, at least they showed us how to play when you are down to 10 and 9

    This is abysmal. Newcastle have dictated the game and the quality of Saints play has been amateurish.

    Saints should have won. I hope they get a b*ll*cking. I'm more angry than on Tuesday because this was a great opportunity.

    That is absolutely embarrassing.

    We did absolutely nothing to press them.

    40 mins with 10 men

    15 with 9!

    One sub used.

    We created barely anything for that entire time.

    That is worse than the Man U result for me, absolutely inexcusable.

    Handed that to Newcastle on a plate.

    Livid.

    Redmond is terrible. How many times did he run at his man? **** all. What's the ****ing point of having pace if you don't bloody use it.

    So it turns out teams can defend with 9 men. He knew?

    Just not quick enough with the passing. Against 9 men and we were still just slow passing it around.
    Disapointed with the performance

    That result would be less embarrassing if we had not shown how poor we are when we go down to 10 men in the previous match. Now we can use this match to show the team how to defend when you lose a player or 2

    No excuses, we had everything go for us today but shot ourselves in the foot too many times.
    The inability to play quicker in breaking down 9 men is frustrating.
    Two great goals for us though.

    Sorry that was really poor. How we cannot score against nine men in twenty minutes is moot good enough. Too ponferous on the ball and too many nothing balls of 5 yrds at the back. They need to be coached to move the ball quicker when they smell blood. We have always poor against ten men

    Tactically horrendous today, will probably get shot down for daring to say. No overlaps on the sides even once they were down to 9, 3 centre backs on for 80 minutes. Just awful.

    Oh well, pretty poor but not as bad as the last match. Shocking defending first half, but Minamino was a big positive, as was the stunner from JWP.

    We move on.

    That was embarrassing tbh. Awful at the back in the first half. Devoid of any sort of spark in the second half going forward against reduced numbers. Ralph deserves some criticism today too unlike the United game. Surely Tella or Djenepo should have come on when things clearly weren't working
