Everton 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[OttawaSaint]

Goalkeeping will kill us this season. A champ level keeper would have tipped that shot wide/over. Awful, awful keeper.

[USaint]

Fucking hell. 

[Baird of the land]

Why Ralph won't you make a Sub????????????????????????

[DT]

And there it is. Another stupid foul given away. No pressure. Poor marking. Player does pirhouette. And goal. Ralph silly dallied. Yet again. Never ever goes for it. Never proactive. Same old story. 

[moonraker]

Pissed off but that was a quality goal, 

 

[Katalinic]

Well done Ralph FFS

Oh dear. We were looking tired. Not sure why we haven't made a sub yet.

Strongest bench we have had since fuck knows when, yet he still refuses to make subs. 

[OldNick]

I think a magnificent signing would be to get Ralph somebody to help him with advice a No. 2. Whether Ralph wants one or not it shold be forced on him as he doesnt seem to be the same manager solo

[Edmonton Saint]

Shocking defending. The Stephens and Salisu dream ticket , still need a leader back there. Been crying out for one for years .

Yep. Dreadful. 

[moonraker]

Definitely need a change in personnel 

[OttawaSaint]

Fuck off Ralph, we needed to force the issue bring on fresh legs before now. Same old rabbit in the headlights...

If you have to pick between two shit keepers then pick the one that actually fills more of the goal and can reach further. McCarthy does absolutely nothing better than Forster.

[SaintBobby]

Extraordinary that we have made no subs yet.

[Baird of the land]

Now the idiot  makes a double change.

 

[RedArmy]

They should introduce a rule where saints are allowed to bring a player off the pitch and put a new one on. We could call it a substitute.

We're 2-1 down now Ralph. You now have permission to make a substitution.

Another baffling aspect to our schizophrenic performances. 

[The Cat]

Good finish but poor marking, they had so much space in a dangerous area.

Should have had Armstrong on at half time for Walcott.

Everton fans who were booing at half time don't seem to hate their own team now?

Same old same old. Ralph sitting on his hands - no subs.

Yes, Djneppo and Walcott should have been hooked at half time, definitely Walcott 

[LeBizzier69]

Just piss poor, Walcott needs to get off the pitch as much as anything. Becoming a liability. Fresh legs required. Typical 

[DT]

And now Ralph pulls his finger out. Absolutely clueless. 

[USaint]

Every team we play knows that no matter what happens in the first half, Saints will roll over in the second. Reactive late subs yet again. FFS Ralph

And when they he does make changes, they are like for like

[Uncle Albert]

Listening on the radio but bringing Romeo off sounds like an odd sub.

[Sheaf Saint]

Any half-decent keeper saves that. It wasn't exactly a thunderbolt.

[OttawaSaint]

What a shower of absolute cunts. Get our hopes up abs then yet again mail in a dire second half. Everton were there for the taking and we’re now losing 3–1. 

Fuck off!

[Mr X]

That will be enough for Everton, tella and diallo have only ten minutes ish 

[LGTL]

This defence and GK will send us down. 

[iansums]

Relegation fight again this season 

[DG]

3-1

Hope and optimism lasted 45mins. Not bad Saints, not bad.

[AlexLaw76]

Ralph is so reactive.  Now he is making changes.  He is a very average manager for the permier league

[DT]

We are going down if we don’t already sack the manager

[Saints foreva]

We are awful. 

[Viking Saint]

Absolute fucking dogshit

[Suhari]

Now that is a piss poor goal to concede.

[Katalinic]

100%

[Mr X]

FFS what's the point 

[Teddeer]

Long hard season coming up. Lessons not learned. Dejavu anyone.

[Dorchester Saint]

FUCK OFF RALPH, YOU’VE LEARNED NOTHING!!!!

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Am sure Ralph will revert to his fuckin stupid policy of rotating the keepers every game

[obelisk]

Ludicrous.

[James]

Cheers Macca. That was absolutely awful again.

Anyone sticking money on Everton now seeing as we always lose there and never win the first game of the season?

Can you give us an update on how this post is going for you?

You deduce that after less than one game?? Pathetic bed-wetter.

[Sheaf Saint]

Pathetic.

Absolutely fucking pathetic second half again from Saints. 

[Mr X]

Salisu not ready yet and we sell vestergard 

[SaintBobby]

Really disappointed wit the manager today

He’s shit. Always has been. And Ralph always picks him. Because he has absolutely no clue whatsoever.

I think he deduced it from xmas.  Nothing what so ever has changed.
