Edmonton Saint

Deliberate elbows only a yellow card these days and no VAR ? I guess when it’s Liverpool different rules apply.

Yep. No checking the monitor ? Just accept the refs decision in this case? This is the problem with VAR it’s still subjective according to who is manning it , and their agenda

Djenepo and Long coming on. Ralph is going for it.

God, we’re depressing to watch. We have no goals in this team, Redmond , Tella, Smallbone, JWP have no threat going forward .

Yep.

We still haven't replaced Fonte in a leadership capacity. We are so weak mentally throughout the squad and as soon as the going gets even a little bit tough, we get going and retreat into our shells and wait for the inevitable. The Saints way seems to be to coach our youngsters to be nice, model professionals, like what our captain JWP so perfectly exemplifies, However we desperately need leaders to cajole, encourage, heckle this bunch of wasters into a competent team which can handle leads and get the job done. Literally the entire fanbase knows that we buckle under even the slightest pressure, why cant the manager and the recruitment team see this?

Hello Darkness my old friend.

Oh well it was a fun opening 15 minutes or so. Is anyone else worried that JWP’s form has fallen off a cliff this season ? He’s just not influencing games at all and his patented free kicks aren’t going in either. Sell and reinvest if you ask me.

Saints gonna Saints

Good start this. Need a goal while we are on top

I want Ralph out. Second half game management is atrocious.

Captain fucked us up again , sell him in January done with his nonsense

Non-entity again tonight. Doesn't look up to the Premier league yet IMO. Not the goal threat we expected.

McCarthy is an awful, awful keeper. Ralph's blindness to him may well prove his ultimate undoing. And the idiots at the club want to give McCarthy a new contract? In the cold hard world of professional football it's an insane decision.

We’ve been saying this for the best part of a year. Ralph doesn’t seem to agree with that assessment

Flapper flapping 1-1

Without regurgitating the keeper debate, but I’m going to anyway, I just feel McCarthy is too passive , when Forster plays he’s always shouting out instructions to the defence and I feel we play better as a result. Another on a long list of baffling Ralph decisions imo.

Madness to sign Walcott. He was bad on loan last year, but hey lets sign him up. We're paying him sky high wages and he's a shadow of the player he used to be , the play dies at his feet every single time, Can't pass, can't shoot and can't even use his pace like he used to. Dreadful, Dreadful player.

We have to move on from this guy. Two crap goals today which were 100% saveable. He's been a weakness for years but nobody at the club seems to see it. Has he signed his new contract yet? I hope it's ripped up and thrown in the bin. Very poor.

No goals in close to three months! Snatched at chances today and missed a sitter. Broja and Adams have to be the option going forward now IMO.

Walcott and Redmond both lack composure in the final third, as soon as they have to engage their brains they both screw it up. Come on Ralph let's get the Armstrongs on.

Can we criticize him yet? Scored on his debut against Everton, fluffed his lines against United and hasn’t looked like scoring since. Don’t know where our goals are coming from , at least with Adams and Armstrong we have a ready made strike pair for the championship next season.

Should have sold JWP to villa when we had the chance, the way he has been this season, they won’t be back in for him

When we start Redmond we know how the game will go , if anyone epitomizes the malaise and ineffectiveness in our forward play it’s Redmond. I shudder when I see him starting. He’s not good enough.

Walker-Peters isn’t a left back.
