Saints were unbeaten in six consecutive away league games against Aston Villa between 2013 and 2020 but have lost their last two visits here by an aggregate score of 5-0. Those two are the only visits I've made, too.

It’s much nicer in here than it is outside. Hope your journeys up are going well!

⚠️ Saints players close to yellow card ban ⚠️

Adam Armstrong - 4
Adam Lallana - 4
Jan Bednarek - 3
Mateus Fernandes - 3
Kyle Walker-Peters - 3
Yukinari Sugawara - 2

Need to get through five matches (GW19) for the reset.

Sam Amo-Ameyaw is just 18 years old and has plenty of time yet to make his mark, but I find it difficult to see why the likes of Kamaldeen Sulemana and Ben Brereton Diaz are getting chances again and again while he only watches from the bench. Give him the experiences - good and bad.

The remaining Saints fans boo the announcement of the next home match. Booed at full-time as well.

Adam Armstrong looking to score in four successive home matches this evening.

👋 Morning all, battle against the odds at 7:30pm! Fit and firing Chelsea visit Saints with up to a dozen players out. Hope my TSP prediction is wrong.

Means opportunities. Could also be youngsters in, O'Brien Whitmarsh and Akachukwu (and Boot) only did 45 mins for the U21s last night...

Russell Martin up shortly.

Thought Saints were really, really poor in the first half but they improved massively after the break and deserved their point.

A real shame that VAR will dominate the talking points again but they need to sort it out, it’s not fit for purpose right now.

“Fuck VAR,” the Saints fans chant at the end. A much needed point though.

White chocolate cookies during the break the highlight here so far.

Saints keen to avoid defeat for a number of reasons but it would be the first time they’ve lost 10 away league matches in a row since 1973/74!

Brighton are also the only team still unbeaten when conceding the first goal in a Premier League match this season, which bodes well.

Big night for Joe Lumley, making his Premier League debut at the age of 29. Pretty exceptional for Saints to have THREE injured goalkeepers.

McCarthy in squad and warming up but it became apparent he wouldn't be fit to start by Wednesday this week. Good luck, Joe!

Evening from Brighton! 👋

Saints have lost just one of their last seven (W4 D2) on a Friday night since you know what. Reason for hope…

Being the best player the academy produces in a generation certainly helps regardless of how long one is here! The names are to inspire the next youngsters as they eat and study, not necessarily indicative of what they did in a Saints shirt. Anyone graduating to be worth £ is a success.

There are a lot of names up on the wall at Staplewood. Tyler Dibling, if not already, will be next.

Ramsdale waits to console McCarthy as he leaves the pitch. Really hard to see how Saints come back from this when it just keeps happening. Dibling and Fernandes are incredible players though. And really enjoyed Onuachu.

Ugochukwu on for Onuachu. I am gutted. Hope he's okay.

HT: Saints 1-1 Liverpool.

Decent. Can't argue with that at all. Awful goal to give away but they've responded and are good value for a point. Long way to go, keep it up lads!

#SaintsFC

Paul Onuachu doing well on his first start! 💥

#SaintsFC

The stakes get higher every week. No team has ever lost 10 of their first 12 in the Premier League and survived. Need something today to keep that hope alive. Come on, lads.

Just read that only four times in Premier League history have the bottom team beaten top in a match. Last one was in February 2011. But it has been done before, at least...
