Just who exactly was Manning trying to find with that forward ball then? He had so much time and space and literally just passed it to Alisson.

Don't know what you were watching. It was a stupid clumsy kick from behind by Smallbone that was only ever going to have one outcome. Refs will give that at Anfield 99 times out of 100.

We're not gonna get another point this season, are we. The lack of quality, I can accept. But the total lack of any fight is just unforgivable. We've regressed even further under Juric, after a couple of decent (but ultimately pointless) performances early on, and it's clear the entire team (with perhaps two exceptions) just goes out now expecting to get dry humped, and not even bothering to put in the effort.

Just watch Manning in the replay of that. Dives in to win a ball he can't win, and then just jogs back while Chelsea waltz through and score. I am so fucking sick of this bunch of weak, pathetic, gutless cunts.

The fucking state of that from our own corner.

Wrong thread

Does that count as a shot off target from ABK?

Too subtle for me, obviously 🤦

Well, I mean it's not that strange - putting an actual CB on at CB.

Fucksake Downes. What the fuck were you thinking!

Yup.

I expect his arms must be worn out from all the waving at his team mates he does when we concede.

Baby steps I suppose. But surely it should have been glaringly obvious to him long before now. How has it taken him so long to grasp what everyone else could already see?

It's an interesting analogy you make, but I can tell you from personal experience (my dad went away for work when I was six and I didn't see him again until I was 24) that you never really stop caring, no matter how much you try and convince yourself that you have.

50/50 for me. Yes, we've got a shocking lack of quality in the squad. But if you can't beat the opposition for skill then at least match or beat them for effort. Last season, Luton had probably the worst quality squad ever seen in the PL up til that point, but they still managed to be organised and occasionally difficult to beat. We are so far off their level currently it's fucking embarrassing. If you know you don't have the best players then at least give yourself a chance by playing a sensible system with players in their correct positions. Juric is incapable of that, it seems.

I remember watching the game at SJP on the first day, where we lost 1-0 due to a McCarthy howler, and thinking "Yeah we don't look too bad you know. We didn't win but there were some really positive signs there. Maybe we won't be quite so bad this season after all". Feels like a very, very long time ago now.

It's alright everyone. Manji reckons they've got it all in hand and everything will be fine by the end of next season.

Brighton have been very poor today and are still 4-0 up. To everyone at Saints - the board, the manager, the players... Please just fuck off now, every single one of you utterly useless, pathetic cunts.

You've been completely suckered in by SR haven't you. Hook, line and sinker. Do you honestly trust that things will get sorted out in the timescale you suggest? Three years and they've made us so much worse than we were before they took over. I don't care if Dragan has recently stepped in to address things. They have utterly failed with every single decision they've made, and yet still you make excuses for them. If you're happy to sit on your hands and wait for things to get better, despite all the evidence suggesting they won't, then by all means you fill your boots.

It's alright lads. Smallbone is on to engineer a comeback.

It is now.

How the fuck did they not score?

It's the most disjointed, abject and feeble excuse for a gameplan I have ever seen from a Saints team. Worse than anything Mad Nate presided over.
