Smallbone coming on. That'll change things. Livramento off.

Sorry..still no Perraud? 😂

FFS, Smallbone? Such a low quality player.

In any other club, this would be the end of the manager. We all know that isn't going to be the case with us

There's no justification for them to sack him two nine Nils wasn't enough, we'd have to ship 10 😂

Since the Athletic told the world our going down after 60 odd minutes and the back lash from that, I dont think we do it now. Anyone know how our results have been since then????

We do it just as much as we did before.

Think we needed to do it in the second minute of this game.

[Nemi]

Wtf is this sub, still no Perraud even with Livramento off the pitch and another player out of position

[skintsaint]

nearly 7...Alonso wide.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Maybe Smallbone will be playing in that advanced role that worked out so well last time. The comeback is on! 🙂

Careful what you wish for!

[OttawaSaint]

KWP given a blatant push right in front of ref just before Alonso's chance.

Apparently they amplify the vibrations of the eardrum, without them we'd all be deaf

The squad needs a huge rocket up the backside either way. When a more talented side works harder than you, it can only go one way. Saints fans will forgive more than most - and boy have we had to since Koeman left - but lack of work ethic is one thing we won’t forgive. Atmosphere could turn toxic if there isn’t a reaction in remixing home games plus a clear plan to rebuild the squad and add some character/resilience. 

Expand  

In theory I agree, but in truth they probably don't give a shit.

Many are thinking about where they might be playing next season and big money moves. Remarkable downturn in Salisu's performances since talk of a big money move, and none of us know what conversations are taking place at the club over a new contract. Broja, unlikely to be here next year, JWP basking in the glory of his last free kick and all the "best in the world .." talk. KWP.. is he happy moved to LB ... ?

[Nemi]

And immediately Alonso nearly scored with the whole right-side for himself

[SaintTex]

We brings on Valary, Diallo, and Smallbone. 
 

Chelsea brings on James, Pulisic, and Ziyech. 
 

this league.

Likewise. We've just played very poorly, allowing talented opposing players to show their stuff.

[BotleySaint]

We are a laughing stock really. 

You just know every other football fan is sat there watching the scoreline go up and laughing about how this'll be Saints losing 9-0 again.

These types of results are too frequent..

[Saint_clark]

At least Pompey are losing.

Brentford didn't seem to have much trouble...

JWP looks tired today.

[AlexLaw76]

It is like the Dave Jones days.  We used to get at least 1 pasting a season back then!

You should realise that the club's role is a conveyor belt for young talent and to give them their chance. Fully expect Smallbone to be another, and find a big money move to Ross County or suchlike in a year or so's time.

some kid running across the pitch. best thing today.

Time to re-deploy the high press

Young lad there showing better pace, effort, and guile than our lot today...

Brentford hate Chelsea, that was their biggest fixture of the season

[Lee On Solent Saint]

I get that we will lose games, but losing games in this manner, with no fight and bottle is just a total piss take. 

[skintsaint]

so toothless. we lose the ball then seem to always be caught on the break.

[Chez]

in truth it could easily be 9 or 10 by now. We are getting off lightly.

Utterly shameful.

[OldNick]

Arsenal losing , thats 2 in a row, oh well theyve got us next I think

[skintsaint]

Arsenal losing at home to Brighton, backlash from them next game then!

[Mr X]

What is it about us that we are team capable of falling apart so easily and so often?

I noticed that as well.

[OttawaSaint]

Commentator saying Arsenal will face our backlash 😆 

If the players gave a shit they'd have lashed their backs in this game...

[Sunglasses Ron]

Another shameful day at the office.

As said with the previous debacles, the only solace is that’s it’s just one game and just 3 points.

Yet again though, feels like a massive punch in the danglies, regardless of how good the opposition are.

[Micky]

Score a goal.... yeah right...

[skintsaint]

so many chances to cross/shoot then....and nothing, then nearly caught on the break.........again.

Joke team, time wasting on our own promising attack. Cunts!

Their keeper has been in his deck chair reading a good book all afternoon!

[Vancouver Saint]

This.

And a backlash from Arsenal to come next week?
