Saint86 Posted 20 March, 2022 Share Posted 20 March, 2022 (edited) No shame in this, the team have given it everything, a bit of luck and no mistakes and we'd be in it or winning. But how often do you really manage that? Saints fans in the ground though have been a real dissapointment based on the BBC coverage. Maybe the mics are in a bad spot, but it's sounded like a city homegame most of the match. Chants of "your support is f'ing shit" and fans leaving with 15min to go. Players deserve better backing than this. Ditto people raging at the players here when they run their socks off vs one of the best teams in the world.

HarvSFC Posted 20 March, 2022 Share Posted 20 March, 2022 Both their subs score, their strength in depth is too much and why they want five subs in the league. Equally, if there wasn’t five subs we possibly don’t start both Broja and Adams on the bench, as using 2/3 to bring them on poses a bit more of a risk than 2/5. Shit rule. Doesn’t deserve a 4-1 score line. But, we all know the defence needs bolstering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted 20 March, 2022 Share Posted 20 March, 2022 Some of you aren’t going to like this but Forster has now reverted to type. Despite being 6’7” he flaps at a cross he should have caught or punched and it goes out for a throw (goal 3) and gets beaten low, near-post (goal 4). City have ruthlessly exploited our known weaknesses. Every gooal has come from a clear error. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
