JWP looks like he’s had enough too

[Maggie May]

Funny how us fans know Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin will score, Townsend will cause us problems, and our goalkeeper is shite.  Why can’t the manager?

Cheers Macca. That was absolutely awful again.

Wasn't good from him but DCL shouldn't be unmarked with a free header from that range

Salisu not ready yet and we sell vestergard

Vestergard is not answer, we were the same with him

[Sarisbury Saint]

Really hoping Ralph wouldn’t be so tactically naive this year. 
He really isn’t good enough , but it’s the same old story.

Same old Saints against Everton.

God I try hard not to bite with you, but what a fucking moronic thing to post 1st game of the season.  Why dont you learn to wind your fucking neck in?

First game plus the second half of last season

Wake the fuck up. This isn’t one game, it was the majority of last season too.

Not 1 game is it.  This has been the case since xmas.

Armstrong must be thinking what have I signed up for

Yeah, ok.

[Barsiem]

It’s the hope that kills you ☹️

[LeBizzier69]

I know we’re used to it, but it’s so infuriating. The amount of goals we concede from piss poor play or mistakes is ridiculous. Unsurprising that the pundits always go on about how many points we’ve lost from winning positions. 

[Saints foreva]

Yet another example of Ralph having absolutely no game management, as if we didn't see enough evidence last season. 

We've been comfortably beaten by a piss poor Everton side this half. 

[Disco Stu]

It's a real limitation with Ralph. He doesn't know how to change games. Everton have been pretty poor too which makes it worse.

First choice centre back needed now! And get fucking Forster in.

 

Same shit different season.

 

Tough fixtures to start with. We could be down the bottom of the table with Arsenal after a few games.

[Baird of the land]

Think Mccarthy is unlucky. Got his arm to it but its richoutted off his leg. The issue is their striker getting a free header 2 yards out.

[Viking Saint]

Fear not, Redmond to save the day.....

Another half time change by the opposition manager that Ralph didn't react too. He's got to be on borrowed time surely??

S. Armstrong and Tella should have come on in the 60th minute.

Because he’s a sham

[Saint Matty 76]

I don't know how we constantly manage to lose these evenly matched games so easily.

Get out there and buy a proper CB to play every week. We all know we're not going to buy a GK so at least persist with the lesser of two evils in Forster.

[obelisk]

And there goes the optimism.

[Jonnyboy]

Something has to change, we can't have another season with this exact same pattern. Ridiculous. 

[MarkSFC]

You can basically discount Stephens as a centre back so we really need two new ones

[East Kent Saint]

Being top scorer which will get him a move to a bigger club plus more £. Armstrong that is !

Perhaps but he is hardly Van Dyke. 

[sydney_saint]

Haven't had a chance to watch for once. And am so thankful for it. Is it little wonder. Our defence was so god damn weak last season, and we have started this season with a weaker defence than last. 

That's just a red card offence for every single person responsible. I know someone is gonna scream 'TrAnfeR wInDow IsNt FiniShed! '. But we are gonna be throwing in any new defenders with no preseason. Shambles.

We’re you asleep for the second half of last season? read carefully:

FUCK ALL HAS CHANGED, SAME OLD SHIT!!

[Ultimatt]

Difference between us is Doucoure and Richarlison vs Romeu and our wingers. Those two are a class above and made the difference.

For still being the manager

[jasonb]

I console myself these days in the fact I don't need to stay up for Motd and put up with the insufferable prick Lineaker when Saints lose.

Theres always the next game. Keep the faith folks. 

[OldNick]

I really dislike the Everton fans, I expect they are singing Rafas name

Every Saints corner has been pants.

God we are absolutely clueless in defence   Knife through butter. It is a total embarrassment. Predicted 0 points after four games and think we’ll be lucky to get that

Same old stuff. Pathetic defending and goalkeeping. No changes from the manager until we’re losing.

Tactically outplayed yet again

[Mr X]

RH really manages second halves poorly 

[Wade Garrett]

Manager been outclassed by his opposite number again.  Familiar story.

Plenty out there that could play a better tune from our squad.

 

[saint michael]

Zero defensive coaching. Zero defensive tactics. One tactic is press until you are knackered

not surprising we keep getting this shit really

i just don’t know where this ends… him getting sacked.. us continuing with this awful football 

 

[Nemi]

Should of been brave enough to sell a few more really. New signings looking the best players today but let down by the same stale shite that has plagued our club for years. 
 

And that’s without going into the terrible mentality this squad has.
