Cabbage_Face Posted 7 October, 2018 Share Posted 7 October, 2018 So all the slagging of Hoedt YET not 1 mention of PEH losing the ball in the first place?! Always easy when someone passes to you under pressure, Hoedt should’ve got rid of the ball. Yes PEH lost it, but hospital passes are ****e.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 7 October, 2018 Share Posted 7 October, 2018 That half had a bit of everything which has showed why we have been so bad the last few seasons. Insipid defending, allowing the opposition to do what they want whilst we believe just having numbers back is enough - check Lots of money spent in the summer but only one player good enough to get in the team - check Clueless in possession either keeping the ball all doing things with purpose - check No leadership - check No organisation at the back and players arguing with each other - check Square pegs in round holes - check Giving up lots of shooting opportunities - check Probably some more but I can't be bothered thinking too hard. This is so painful to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 7 October, 2018 Share Posted 7 October, 2018 Ref’s been very poor too. Hasn’t had a lot to do yet has pretty much got all of the big decisions wrong. Most of them should have been in Chelsea's favour anyway so that's a plus for us right ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obelisk Posted 7 October, 2018 Share Posted 7 October, 2018 If this one-sided game is an indication of where the Premiership is heading then I might become somewhat relaxed if Saints found themselves one of the three worst this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackedoff Posted 7 October, 2018 Share Posted 7 October, 2018 Commentators also blamed Hoedt for the goal after he done well to get the ball of Hazard. Hoedt shoulda smacked it up field, they had loads of players around our box and our players aren't good enough to play out from the back under pressure. You really didn't need to add the last eight words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
