Liverpool 2-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Saint_clark]

Fuck sake. Difference in quality there. That's what happens when you have such a huge gulf in finances. I hate the premier league.

Today's result is the difference between a 50+ mill striker and and a 15 mill one.

We deserve a point 

Disagree. Many strikers in our bracket would have scored one or 2 of the chances Che has had. 

[obelisk]

That goal comes from Saints fannying around instead of going for an equaliser.

[Mr X]

Ffs

[Lighthouse]

Adams may well be a limited striker but until we’re willing and able to spend more than £15m on one, whilst our mid-table rivals are all spending £25m+, that’s what we’re going to get.

 

Anyway, daft from KWP playing himself into trouble there.

[John Boy Saint]

Too much fucking about in the wrong part of the pitch

2-0 very flattering

[sandwichsaint]

Great finish ... from a man that should be on two yellows. 

[OttawaSaint]

What a fuckIng mess. We had the ball and then run backwards with it.

ffs

[macca155]

Well that goal came from KWP losing the ball. Don't blame him he's been given a right kicking. Diallo should have supported him. Romeu wouldn't have had that.

[BotleySaint]

Well, there we have it. 2 nil.

Could have been so much different if Adams had taken the gift wrapped chance.

Yep. We’ve been doing it all game. It gets us nowhere.

Feels like the type of game for Firmino to come on and boost confidence.... 

called it 

[Jimmy_D]

Well they don’t ****ing deserve that.

Handball by Mané ignored directly in the build up as well.

[Lord Duckhunter]

Why are we fannying around after the throw in. In the famous words  “can’t we just fucking knock it”. 

[Mr X]

Liverpool haven't even had to play well 

[Teddeer]

If only we could learn how to take throw-ins.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

KWP not been great the last twenty minutes

[stknowle]

Oh just fuck off football.

Harsh on us

very. KWP tried to play it out from the back, but just wasn't the space to do it. Not sure we have created enough despite being the better side second half

[Whitey Grandad]

Yet their goalkeeper is given man of the match.

They’ve been very poor

Is he thought ralph was married, shame on him. In other news redmond has played well tonight.

I’ll have 2 bags of what you’re smoking

[bangkoksaint]

Couldn’t blame any of our better players for going. Club in free fall, we’re happy with getting beaten because we weren’t tonked. Says it all

[OttawaSaint]

Is it just Saints that do this? I watch a fair few other matches and other teams really go for it when trailing late on, throwing everything forward.

We just slowly pass it around a bit and don’t attack.

[BotleySaint]

On target for 17th still then.

[Whitey Grandad]

Maybe that knock has thrown him a bit.

[Heisenberg]

Are we talking 8 points from our last 17 games? 8 from 51 🤷‍♂️🤷

Yep

[Mr X]

For all our effort not really tested their keeper 

[egg]

We didn't deserve that 2nd goal. Lots of positives from this game, and Liverpool didn't look good because we didn't let them.

Not all 15m strikers scuff the ball as badly has he does. He's got the technique of a 5m striker, though his hold up play is good.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

We won't have had a better chance to beat them at Anfield in a long while

Most teams don't have to when they play us.

Played well. Should have won.

you mean being overly brave, trying at all costs to keep the ball and not to just hoof it aimlessly that ends up turning over possesssion and means we have to chase after it for five minutes?

Liverpool played like a team that knew they didn't need a second goal. Saints played like a team that forgot the reason why they were on the pitch.

[Whitey Grandad]

Did anybody expect anything different? 

[haddock22]

We will stay up by default with Fulham losing a match

[Vancouver Saint]

So very predictable. Why do we try playing out of the back when we're crap at it? Especially against teams that are good at pressing.

[macca155]

A few positives so not too downhearted. However the paper thing squad is being exposed every game.

Clutching a bit there I think. First home clean sheet in a long and 2nd home Win for something like 10 Games. 
 

Theyre a poor team this season.

You can never score by passing the ball backwards and forwards across the back line.

[Baird of the land]

Decent performance but glarring lack of clinicalness in the absence of Ings.

[Pamplemousse]

We created chances, didn't take them. Ho hum. Play like that in our next two games and we get 6 points.

 

I am beginning to think we need to do better than Adams. I like him, I just think he's a confidence player and he's not in good form.

[obelisk]

Saints looked to be content to get away with a non-heavy defeat in the 2nd half. Even so, with a decent composed striker could have got something from that.

[BotleySaint]

Just now, Whitey Grandad said:

Yes. I expected us to lose 4-1 but we actually did ok. The team lost but we didn't deserve it and performances have improved. Now we need to do it against a team closer to us in quality Tuesday night.

No, expected worse, but seeing Liverpool being soo poor and us having so many chances to take something it leaves a bitter taste.
