Burnley 2-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Norm]

FF saved us from being 3 or 4 down and it only 28 minutes gone!

[BotleySaint]

How do we look so chaotic at the back. Bodies all over the place and no-one winning the ball... no idea 

[M271]

They're cutting through us at ease.

[Dman]

Just now, Mr X said:

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

I’m a huge fan of his and in terms of ability, he’s got it all. I don’t like the look of his attitude though. 
 

that being said, Messi and Ronaldo would struggle in this team. Absolutely no service at all.

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

That’s football.

Lose to Chelsea 6-0

Beat Arsenal 1-0

Arsenal beat Chelsea 4-2.

this has been shambolic thus far though.

Did I blink on 5 mins, just when aliens replaced everyone but Forster?

Yep. We may not get it right, but we’re stale as fuck under Ralph. 

[SNSUN]

A non JWP corner. That looked like a planned routine. 

 

Oh Oriel again! Could have been two for him now...

[whelk]

FFS Romeu

[adrian lord]

How the fuck did Romeo miss that?

[HKsaint]

Still no shots on target

[Dr Who?]

We are both shite finishing! 

[obelisk]

That is two free headers that Romeo has missed. Saints so profligate again.

[OttawaSaint]

Should be 1-1 what a miss by Romeu!

[Sheaf Saint]

Broja far too selfish.

[Saint Matty 76]

Is Romeu taking the piss though.

[Saints foreva]

Another sitter for Romeu. Fucking pathetic.

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

Didn’t Ralph once say he likes letting players on the pitch redeem themselves?

[The Kraken]

Toblerone head Romeu.

[Suhari]

Oriel forgot to fit his heading head tonight.

 

[Dr Who?]

Get your money on 1-0. 

[OttawaSaint]

Big summer for us. We really need to get rid of a lot of deadwood and get in some fresh faces. 

[AlexLaw76]

I think Ralph has tweaked it and pulled Armstrong in for a 3-man midfield.

 

[Saint_clark]

Looked much better the last 10 minutes and for all the "should be 2-0"s it should be 1-1.

I watched first 5 mins and stupidly lumped on Saints like a twat

Burnley are an awful team to go behind against. Very disciplined. But then again our crudness isn't helping things.

Co-commentator said it wouldn’t finish 1-0, so it makes sense.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Good news! The cat has jumped down. I can turn off the radio, so I don't have to listen to the Burnley chances, then have to watch them too.

Can't see this staying like that. Burnley will def. Get two here if we keep defending like this.

[adrian lord]

Nice to have commentary from a guy that isn’t the awful Martin Tyler

[Wade Garrett]

Is Elyounoussi playing?

[Mr X]

Saints never fail to disappoint under RH yes we've had some good games but far and few between, we play in such an easy style to counter act 

 

 

 

[BotleySaint]

Cut right through again.

Get the next goal and you never know...

 

That said it currently looks more like they'll get a second.

 

Another Fraser save.

[sydney_saint]

What has happened to Romeu? A few months ago he was playing like one of the best in the league. Now he can barely string a pass together and even a shit midfield like Burnley are ambling past him. He's been really poor for about a month now. 

[obelisk]

Armstrong has been woeful up until now. Don't think he's made a successful pass yet.

 

FF saves again.

[Saint_clark]

We cannot let Forster go for nothing...

[Dr Who?]

Been there many times and then watched us go to shite. Still you never know we might turn it around. If we can get level they might fall apart. 

[Saint86]

Is the defence playing to get forster a new contract? 

[woodsaint1]

Embarassing

[verlaine1979]

How are they able to create decent chances from slow possession around our box, but we have to go back to our CBs the minute our pace slows?

[Dr Who?]

Waste

[UpweySaint]

I'm a big Ralph fan usually but what is going on with our tactics today? We're making Burnley look like Brazil, being carved apart far too easily and players seem to be nowhere near Burney counterparts.

[harvey]

A shocking team led by a poor manager.

What is? Not being able to spell embarrassing correctly...?

[Norm]

I really can’t believe how we are being outplayed and outfought by Burnley!

[OttawaSaint]

It's classic Southampton that we're keeping traffic cone McCarthy and letting Forster go for free...ugh!

[BotleySaint]

Don't know how a whole team can all have a bad game at the same time. Awful from JWP .

This. When he doesn't play well, we look awful.

[nta786]

Weghorst has had 7 touches in the box tonight, in previous 13 games he has averaged 2.8.

Commentator: “just shows he is improving”

Umm no, he is just playing Saints…
