Keep this up, please. Need to forget last weekend. 

This looks very positive. 

Trouble is, both Bednarek and Stephens look like they have a gaffe in them. 

[OttawaSaint]

Another shit corner. 

[obelisk]

Saints totally on top but as usual it'll take about 20 chances to score a goal.

[Edmonton Saint]

Good start this. Need a goal while we are on top 

[Chez]

couple of times now where we have nearly got caught on the break from our own set piece. We never learn

[OttawaSaint]

Tino injured. Groin maybe.

So frustrating.

[OttawaSaint]

JWP zone for a free kick.

Bah should have gone near post.

[Chez]

lovely move down the left. great start. 

[LiberalCommunist]

Fuck me James. That was perfect position. On target, and that's in.

Yeah that was begging for his trademark up and down to the near post.  Ramsdale left loads of space for it too.

Arsenal 1-0

[OttawaSaint]

Cunts

[saint lard]

And there it is. Same old story. 

[Saints foreva]

Fucking pathetic, so easy for them. 

[OttawaSaint]

Was just about to type that Arsenal are there for the taking but we don't have the firepower. They rub it in showing us what we are missing. 

[Edmonton Saint]

Saints gonna Saints

[Billy the Kidd]

Oh boobies.

[sambosa75]

Good goal that though.  Lesson in moving the ball forward quickly and taking the chance.  Some of our passing looks nice at times but we dont half move the ball forward slowly.

[obelisk]

Suckers.

[Viking Saint]

Fuck

[BotleySaint]

Well, that ws pretty easy. Just run through, no marking and bang.

They do actually have some high quality players when they put their mind to it.

[Chez]

fuck. the press did not work. 

[nta786]

Pressing is beaten when you have better players who can pass it around with pace all first time.

We are feeble again. 

[Baird of the land]

What was bednarek doing there. Giving Saka all the time in the world. Just ended up standing in no man's land doing nothing.

[Teddeer]

So predictable. |All over them then they score from their first attack

[Sheaf Saint]

Nobody marking anyone. At all. 

[OttawaSaint]

Alright, so who's up next. Palace? We ain't going to get anything in this with our powderpuff strike force.

[Disco Stu]

We've been playing well but again, our opposition are more clinical.

[Micky]

The 'marking' for that goal was criminal.  Awful

Trying, poorly, to cover the absence of KWP

[Wurzel]

Defence in watching the man with the ball not the runners shocker.

[BotleySaint]

Long time to go yet. But you have to fear the worst if they get two.

[qwertyell]

So easy. From their goalkeeper, straight through the press, and into our goal without a single one of our players even making the merest physical contact.

Chumps.

[OttawaSaint]

Forgot how much I hate Jan Bednarek. Fuck he's dire.

He made no effort to cover.

[nta786]

Arsenal 2-0.

[M271]

At least we didn't take the lead to get our hopes up.

[Chez]

got to hold your hands up, they beat the press well. We (Not sure if it was Tella or KWP) gambled and it didn't pay off. Painful, as always.

I think that's what so frustrating with us recently. The goals scored against aren't even good or hard to score.

Just mistakes and poor defending. We need a new defensive coach...

[DT]

Going down

[Jonnyboy]

Can see us being in the relegation zone for Xmas. Sorry to be doom and gloom 🤬

[Saint Fan CaM]

And that’s why we don’t win games. Right there. Stupid formation and tactics against a team of Arsenals quality. JWP not living up to the hype AGAIN.  Ralph puts in a rusty Stephens. So many things wrong.

[OttawaSaint]

Dear oh dear. So fucking soft. We just stood and watched. 

[Saints foreva]

Fucking Championship standard CBs. Shocking. 

[BotleySaint]

Well, that's that then. Can't see us coming back from 2.

Going to get worse as their confidence is high...

[Saint NL]

Armstrong seems to need an extra 2 seconds. That's twice now he's been robbed while waiting.

A decent striker in this team and we'd look pretty good.
