What annoyed me is that Armstrong made no effort to support and get in a darting run for a cutback.

Watch it again. He was absolutely sprinting. 😆

[OttawaSaint]

Liverpool haven't been very good at all. If we could just nick one before half time...

Yeah saw a replay, apologies.

Broja was miles offside

I don't understand why he's not looking across the line to see if he's onside or not. He's been miles offside waiting for a through ball a few times now. Basic stuff, surely?

[Bad Wolf]

Not a bad response really. It's the early goal that shellshocked us and forced us to fear the worst. If we'd conceded that goal now and everything else had played out exactly the same, we'd probably be calling it a half decent performance so far.

Also, we've gone from 27/1 to 25/1 to 20/1 in the last few minutes!

[obelisk]

Liverpool happy to use just enough defenders against Saints blunt attack. Leaves Saints outnumbered in midfield and defence.

Tabernac

[Saints foreva]

So fucking easy.

I blame you

Handball in the buildup. Clear as day.

No VAR review though, it's Liverpool.

Our keeper is a statue 

[OttawaSaint]

Ugh. Tino sleeping on that one. Let Jota get the easiest goal of his career.

[Billy the Kidd]

Didnt that hit his elbow?

[obelisk]

When was the last time Saints scored as many as two goals? Game's all but over.

Indeed. If that happens at the sharp end of the field then it would be given all day long.

[The Kraken]

Definitely looked like handball. 
Ah well. Just hope we shore it up a bit now.

[Dorchester Saint]

2-0…..it’s all so easy, Ralph has fucked up with this line up, no midfield and ripped apart down the wings. Embarrassing!

[benjii]

As soon as it hit Arnold’s arm, I thought, “Definite goal coming here!”.

Odd because last season they disallowed a few goals where it just brushed an arm but here he controlled it with the arm. Without that contact Perraud would have cleared it. 

[Saints foreva]

Seriously, our 3 CBs have been dreadful. Why the fuck are they charging up the pitch and being done by a simple pass which leaves them 10 yards out of position?

[Mr X]

Losing to a much better team but we should have kept it tighter than this at least go in only one goal down

Yeah same.

Its the same area of the pitch as the Norwich foul last night, a few passes later they score. What exactly is the point of VAR? They've won the ball and started that move with a handball ffs. Only saving grace is i have salah and jota in my FF team.

Get ready for saints to have a goal ruled out for a similar foul in a few weeks.

The defending after it was poor. But it did leave our guy out of position and allowed the attack to progress.

Cheating basically, and getting away with it..

[Saint_dane]

Never a handball. Arm is against his body and it bounces up against the elbow. Liverpool are just a level above us all over the pitch... as they are most teams.

Is every post going to be a moan about McCarthy?

[Wade Garrett]

Still can’t stand the manager.

[Master Bates]

Oh dear

So, you think the ball hitting his arm isn’t handball?

Yeah if you like

[The Kraken]

My stream just went down. As it’s 3 that’s likely a good thing.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Can Ralph survive another nine nil??

You should have posted that before the start of the game so we could have praised you for being so prescient. 

[Saints foreva]

Embarrassing defending. So fucking easy.

I agree,  he controlled the ball advantageously for himself with his elbow . Definition of hand ball to everyone but those clowns called refs 

[OttawaSaint]

It's almost like. 

" hey var, handball check!"

"Which team?"

"Liverpool"

*doesn't look up from his newspaper*

"No handball"

[Billy the Kidd]

Wonder if Ralph is getting a little nervous…

Well, my main worry is we might be three down after forty odd minutes. But feel free to explain it.

[JustinSFC]

We are being absolutely bummed.

I’m not sure if he should survive a 5-0 to be honest.

[Baird of the land]

No clue what Ralph was thinking with that lineup, maybe he just wants another shot at conceding 9.

[whelk]

We know Ralph knows what to do in these situations p

[trousers]

I hate to say it but this is going to get close to 9 again, isn't it?

That isn't how handball works. The ball hitting someone's right is not automatically handball.

[obelisk]

It's a bit worrying that we'll be even worse after the half time team talk.
