tajjuk Posted 3 March, 2018 Share Posted 3 March, 2018 Needed to win, didn't win, and we didn't really try for 60 minutes. If you don't win games and don't score goals you get relegated, that is us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackedoff Posted 3 March, 2018 Share Posted 3 March, 2018 Garbage Board, garbage manager, garbage team. Dread to think what ST sales will be like next year. 2 years of utter garbage at home.....why would anyone pay for the very expensive STs to be forced to sat through this garbage week in week out Relegation beckons.................................. Dont worry,there will be plenty of mugs that will pay to keep this board and manager in their jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 3 March, 2018 Share Posted 3 March, 2018 I thought that was a decent performance overall, but our lack of any clue in the final third (ability and coaching) could send us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyell Posted 3 March, 2018 Share Posted 3 March, 2018 The good: Sims was bright again, Redmond looked probably the best he has all season, a rare clean sheet. The bad: we're going down. Not because we're terrible, but because we're just meh: a lifeless shrug, nothing of any consequence. Our new striker is the absolute epitome of that. He's not the worst player in the world, but he's just nothing. Average on the deck, okay in the air, no goal threat whatsoever. Special mention for our full backs, who are supposed to be the few remaining players at the club with "top six" quality: utter bobbins. What's the worst that can happen from changing the manager now? It's already coming anyway. Are we just penny pinching and reluctant to pay the compensation? Well played to the supporters who got out in the snow to endure that.

austsaint Posted 3 March, 2018 Share Posted 3 March, 2018 Set pieces sounded woeful without JWP. They weren't that bad - JWP's would have improved things but we got much more run and directness from Sims and Redmond in open play than you ever get with W-P.

OttawaSaint Posted 3 March, 2018 Share Posted 3 March, 2018 I think 36 or 37 should be enough but where exactly are we going to get 8 or 9 points. If we can’t beat Stoke at home. We ain’t beating Arsenal, Chelsea or City. Next up an improving Newcastle away, you know he’s targeting a draw there, Swansea, they are on top form. Then a crunch tie at West Ham, will he go for it there. Leicester away, will we go for it there? Home to Bournemouth, surely, surely we must set up to win that one? Everton away?

Bewildered Posted 3 March, 2018 Share Posted 3 March, 2018 Unable to win a game against a side that offered barely enough to be classified as sentient. Absolute joke of a manager and a board whose arrogance will cost us dearly. This squad has enough about it to be easily clear of relegation if they were playing under a competent manager. Unfortunately they are managed by Mr Bean and only have a hope of surviving because the league we are playing in is a cesspool in terms of quality.

OttawaSaint Posted 3 March, 2018 Share Posted 3 March, 2018 Sims had a great chance but it was too close to the keeper. Dammit I thought, pity that didn’t fall to someone else. Then I thought about it for a bit. Tadic would have controlled it and then fallen over, Carillo would have missed the ball, Redmond and Cedric would have put it over the bar, Romeu would have mi**** it. We just don’t look like scoring, ever. The players seem so low on confidence. We are in for a very tough run in and I see the next 2 league games being identical to this.

SuperSAINT Posted 3 March, 2018 Share Posted 3 March, 2018 (edited) Just get in Marco Silva and be done with it. One positive - we defended really well against Stoke's aerial threat, and kept Shaqiri quiet in the second half. I caught a bit of Ryan Mason on 5 Live last night & they asked him about Hull pre & post Marco Silva. I'm paraphrasing, but it was basically about before he came in (I guess under Phelan) & the players were just told to go ahead & get on with it as they are good players & were given basic instructions. He said when Silva came in they worked on everything in detail so they knew exactly what their jobs were. He said it was very similar to Pochettino @ Spurs. He said it was all about emphasising what they were good at rather than worrying about the opposition. Said he changed the mind-set of the players quickly.

Sheaf Saint Posted 3 March, 2018 Share Posted 3 March, 2018 Well I only watched the 2nd half and from what I saw we were very positive going forward and were quite clearly the better team. But Stoke do what they have done since they were promoted and defended in numbers, and they did it very well because we just couldn't find the space for any clear chances. Butland made 3 or 4 decent saves but none that you wouldn't expect a decent keeper to make. Our best chance was Boufal's header that went just wide. Ultimately, its not good enough. It's another great chance to take 3 points at home that we couldn't take. My gut feeling is that we will just about scrape enough points between now and May, and we will stay up on GD.

obelisk Posted 3 March, 2018 Share Posted 3 March, 2018 The main problem has been with us for well over a year. Slowness with a lack of composure and few ideas in the attacking third. How many of all those corners today were met by a Saints player in front of goal? That's not to say there aren't other problems. That first half in a game where Saints really needed the 3 points was unforgivable. It'll almost be a welcome relief when relegation is confirmed. Just hope we don't go into the last game needing to get something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Posted 3 March, 2018 Share Posted 3 March, 2018 I agree totally, but why can't Reed, the Board and the owner see this? is the main culprit and needs to go first and now - w****r thinks he knows it all and is more stubborn than Wenger. With a decent manager or even the team at the end starting we would have won this game. Reed probably has a good pension/pay off lined up, and if on top he were to get sacked would get a fair amount of compo. I say pay him £5M to f off now. Get a top out of job manager as consultant (i.e. telling our clown what to do) for the rest of the games. If our new owner does not act, I am done with going to games until we have a new owner. Still a fan of the team, just not the owner, board, Reed the snake, or the pathetically cowardly manager/coach (although not his fault for our club hiring him - I am been supporting Saints since 1974 and he is defo the worst IMHO).

Shandy_Top_89 Posted 3 March, 2018 Share Posted 3 March, 2018 Got his subs totally wrong again. Sims and Redmond were pinning them back from the wings and then he took Sims off for Boufal which completely killed our momentum. Then failed to bring JWP in a game where we were getting set piece after set piece. Our finishing is ****e but he unnecessarily stifled our momentum and withdrew any opportunity we might have had with pants subs. As for that ref blowing the whistle when he did....

OttawaSaint Posted 3 March, 2018 Share Posted 3 March, 2018 What a ****ing mess we are in. It’s not like we’ve been unlucky with injuries or bad bounces. It’s been obvious since game 1 (and if not that, then the Wolves game) that this guy they brought in was completely out of his element. No one would have really complained if he was let go, especially after Leicester, but no Reed doesn’t want to look foolish. News flash Reed, you are going to look like a much bigger tool at the end of this season if we go down and you let him stay despite 1 win in 15, 0 wins in 8 home games, barely scoring, not many clean sheets, lifeless, ponderous, petrified of losing football.
