Walcott I s not a premier League player any more 

 

My stream is behind but I stand by my comment he's done fuck all till then 

[RedArmy]

Not quite sure how we went 2-0 down against this lot, they are dreadful. 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Are all the Burnley fans saying game over now? 

[nta786]

So did we manage this comeback because Ralph does have a Plan B?

 

[Saint_clark]

JWP has been superb this second half getting control of the midfield. He doesn't have much pace but positions himself brilliantly when he has the ball so that the only way the opposition player near him can get the ball if by fouling him. Great awareness.

Walcott off, redmond wide and Adams up top please

You're welcome. 

[OttawaSaint]

Redmond full of confidence now. Just tried a Cruyff turn there!

Good start, Theo powderpuff pass ruined a good move...

Just before those chances Walcott fouled up another move. He’s got to either shoot or play the ball ahead of Ings. He seems to panic, hold onto the ball and then play it straight at his teammate.

Fucking brilliant from the whipping boys! Great cross by Theo and how about that finish from Redmond! 

Take a fucking bow!

You’ve got some front I’ll give you that.

[Østerrike]

Burnley plays like a fourth league division team

[Saint_clark]

Ralph shouldn't rest on his laurels here, take the initiative and make the first change. Adams on for Walcott to give us someone who can hold the ball up front.

Long 25 minutes to see it out...

Deserved that goal. Hope we don't sit back and try to see it out, need to keep playing as we are on the front foot. They'll have to start pushing up to get something else out of the game.

Would be Saints all over to concede a late equaliser. We need a fourth. 

[adrian lord]

What’s happening with Dyche’s lucky suit?

[obelisk]

There's more goals here for Saints if they want them.

[Østerrike]

Ings is simply great

[jamesfp1]

Make the change Ralph

[Saint_clark]

Watch VAR give a penalty here.

It’s almost as if players do good things and bad things over the course of a game and deserve criticism and praise where applicable.

 

[Micky]

Theo....!

[Saint_clark]

Fucking hell walcott, so fucking poor. Just play the ball with your left foot to Armstrong and he's in!

[adrian lord]

Wasted break. 

[DG]

Oh Theo.

[The Cat]

That was absolute bullshit from Walcott.

[JustinSFC]

Fucking hell theo

Other sides manage to contain Woods & Vedra. They’re hardly Toshack and Keegan FFS. It’s Burnley 

Like the seven sides they were unbeaten against before today? Like Everton? Like Leicester? Arsenal? 

[doc oli]

Oh Theo 

[stknowle]

Piss poor from Walcott there

[obelisk]

There's goals if the ball is played correctly. What a waste Walcott

[igsey]

Jesus Theo.

[Østerrike]

trying to get a cheap second penalty.... Burnley is pooooor

Fuck sake. That should have been game over

[Viking Saint]

3 on 1, FFS Walcott

Exactly. So why the “whipping boy” comment? 

[LGTL]

That was peak Theo!

[Sheaf Saint]

See that's why people are rightfully critical of Walcott

[Mr X]

Walcott had to pass much sooner 

[OttawaSaint]

Ugh, 3 on 2 and Theo runs into defender. 

Oh sorry, I’ve got “some front” he’s now immune from criticism I forgot.

No football brain whatsoever...

[skintsaint]

we don't need to give him a contract come the summer....he isn't worth it.

[Saint_clark]

Bednarek rolling around and then straight back up when the foul isn't given. I'd fine a week's wages.

[Østerrike]

gifted 4:2 away jeeez

[Sheaf Saint]

How was that not a foul on Ings?

[Streaky]

Bednarek is embarrassing today! Feigning injury at every opportunity.

[HKsaint]

Walcott is to do Redmond

still possible to finish @60 points and with a cup

The wages alone aren't worth it 

[Saint_clark]

As poor as that was from Walcott, he's been out for what's 4 months? He looked one of our sharpest and most impactful attackers at the start of the season. Let's judge him based on the rest of the season.

[obelisk]

Saints defence seems determined to hand Burnley an equaliser.

[Saint_clark]

KWP so poor again.
