Burnley 2-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Radio is 2 mins ahead of sky mobile. So I have a wait before I see what I know what's coming. Not great when it's not our chances. 😒

He should have been tighter, you cannot give premier league players space like that even on their “wrong” foot. Lazy defending. 

Fair point, they are all over the place so far

[SNSUN]

Need to string some passes together here.

[obelisk]

Saints are just the team that a nervy relegation candidate would want to play.

[AlexLaw76]

We are getting mullered in midfield. Which is standard for us 

[FarehamSaintJames]

First ten were really encouraging. Since the goal - poor.

Could take of Bednarek and we’d instantly be a better team, even without a replacement.

Need another midfielder or forward on, probably midfield, we have not got hold of the middle third.

[verlaine1979]

We have absolutely no idea what we're doing in possession. Shuffle it out wide, realize that *gasp* our wide player is marked; shuffle it back inside. Repeat. Lose possession eventually.

[woodsaint1]

Can we make a tackle please. Half hearted every time

Yep. Ward prowse is soo overrated it’s untrue. Free kicks aside, he’s all very meh

[Saint Matty 76]

Never the right lineup. Get Che on for Valery.

[Mr X]

FFS sorry but it's just not good enough if we don't get anything from this game against a club in absolute dire straits, we've been poor for ages and weren't great against arsenal either but got lucky, who is motivating our players???

[BotleySaint]

There is no logic to us. Beat Arsenal one week, look awful against Burnley.

[Sheaf Saint]

Romeu just stopped and let Weghorst through there. He's not on his game at all tonight.

[Saints foreva]

We really need to sign someone who can compete with Romeu because we are awful as a team when he isn't having a good game.

He is the only one in the middle of the park. jwp is popping up all over the show.

Yep, need Che’s physicality up there for the ball to stick.

We got lucky against Arsenal Tbf. Forster stopped us losing that game. 

[BotleySaint]

How have they not scored there 

[AlexLaw76]

Another fine save from Forster 

tgey should be at least 2 up

[saintmonkey1979]

Need a proper target man. No point playing long balls or playing out wide for crosses without one. You just know we won't win a header in the box when attacking

 

[jasonb]

Saints strolling around. Need a motivational kick up the arse from someone... anyone.... 

[whelk]

We are woeful

[Saints foreva]

They could be 4 or 5 up here. 

[Wade Garrett]

Armstrong is playing like he’s got his boots on the wrong feet.

Absolute crap.

[Dr Who?]

Forster gets loads of practice! 

[OttawaSaint]

FF is keeping us in this (for now).

[SNSUN]

Another great save from Fraser. Burnley should be 3 pr 4 up here...

[angelman]

Utter crap, but if we lose, I hope it helps send Everton down.

[stknowle]

jesus we're getting completely arse raped. How did they not score then?

[Mr X]

Absolute fucking shambles we are! 

[nta786]

Honestly, could be 3 or 4-1, post saved us. 

[obelisk]

To say that Saints are a defensive rabble would be an understatement. If not for FF (again) Saints would be swamped.

[Dman]

We’re lucky that Weghorst is a dreadful player. Should be out of sight. 

[jawillwill]

Never thought I'd witness us playing Barcelona...oh wait, its Burnley...

[OttawaSaint]

we got our win last week so no need to bust a gut for a few games... *taps head*

[whelk]

Broja is shite too. £40m my arse

[Manuel]

Have the whole team been observing Ramanan?

[Donatello]

Armstrong atrocious so far. 

[Dr Who?]

All that time to take the thrown in and then just threw it to one of their players. Great! 👏 👏

The skipper and senior pros should be getting in to them. 

[SNSUN]

Give FF a new contract now! 😃

 

Shit though we have been... Still only one behind...

[Sheaf Saint]

Absolutely pathetic showing so far. Burnley (Burnley FFS!) could and should be winning by 3 or 4.

[saint1977]

Commentator - ‘Ralph Hassenhuttl must be very disappointed in his players reaction to going 1-0 down’. Well, we aren’t surprised so why should the manager be? Cash in Redmond, Bednarek, Ely with new investment from Dragan - new spine of CB, MC and Striker and all should be near or over our record signing fee levels. Let’s stop acting like a Championship club in administration. New GK if can’t agree terms with FF. Might need to cash in on an asset - Stu or JWP or Salisu - but got to do it.

Had a good spell and has potential but had been very poor lately. 

[hackedoff]

Why isn't our wonderful manager doing something about this before it's too late ?

[Mr X]

He's got the skills but when it's not going his way gets a bit sulky... Makes wrong decisions at the moment 

[Dr Who?]

Didn’t realise he was playing. 

[obelisk]

Broja used to look like a talent until Saints coaches got their hands on him.

[danjosaint]

Soon as the hipsters choice f***s off the better, club need a change infact both parties need a change

After all he's known for his quick substitutions and  tactical genius
