Saints 1-2 Liverpool - Match Thread

[AlexLaw76]

The state of our No.1 keeper who we have given a new deal.

the home crowd are clearly turning against the team/Ralph 

[nta786]

Even the sky pictures have red ribbons on the PL trophy  

[Saint_clark]

Redmond you fucking greedy cunt. KWP in acres of space.

It’s not the fact we’re losing. It’s been a crap lifeless passive performance. We’ve just rolled over for them. They’re winning and not really had to do that much to be ahead. 

This. It’s been an insipid performance, not one you’d expect of a top performing Hasenhuttl side. Not enough bite and tenacity. 

[hypochondriac]

It's really tiring to see us give up on a game with half an hour left. Why can't we fight till the final whistle? 

[Saints foreva]

Moi is so bad. So so bad. 

[Saint_clark]

Holy shit we stopped playing for a Liverpool player claiming a foul when the ref wasn't giving it. We really are too nice.

[nta786]

That KWP cross is why Trent/Reece/Walker are ahead of him unfortunately 

[DT]

Can’t pass. Can’t shoot. Can’t defend. Can’t even be bothered to try for an equaliser. This is all down to the manager   And getting rid is the only way we can rebuild properly. Because this team will finish bottom next year

And yet he played well under a different manager and coaching set up  in Scotland. Go figure.

How much did the rest of their team cost against ours?

Genuine question.

This is a Liverpool reserve team. 

Well Konate was £36, that’s basically triple the cost of anyone we’ve got on the pitch. Firmino, Milner, Gomez, Matip and Jota are hardly cloggers. Even their reserve LB Tsimikas was £12m.

In fact, which players do you feel we should be embarrassed to lose 2-1 to?

[Micky]

Pathetic comes to mind.

[obelisk]

FT. Ralph needs to go. That was dreadful.

[adrian lord]

Ralph going to collapse crying on his knees again this time round?

[Strangely Brown]

So predictable it’s depressing 

[spyinthesky]

Absolutely awful performance from every player

[DT]

At least Walph got his ickle hug from Klopp. So he’s happy. The useless excuse for a manager

But we have comfortably competed against more expensively assembled teams that this Liverpool side 

[Mr X]

Come on do the decent thing we can't be any worse under a new manager with fresh ideas! 

[Micky]

We had just as well wrapped the points up and mailed them first class to Merseyside.

Correct. And he’s improved massively 😂

[Sfcphilc]

Soon as we went behind he should be changing the formation and giving it a go. Might as well lose 3 or 4-1 going for it. Sitting 5-4-1 when losing at home is pathetic. Like for like subs again. I honestly think Ralph needs to go. 

[trousers]

I guess the only crumb of positivity to take from that result is that most of us were fearful of another 9-0 esque drubbing. 

Ralph is making it very difficult, if not impossible, to defend him I'm afraid.

[DT]

Seen some bad performances from Saints but that was the saddest

[JRM]

Ralph out 

[cloggy saint]

Considering the general consensus was we'd get beaten by anything upwards of 6 goals (one particularly incontinent bed-wetter saying they would 'easily'  score 10), I imagine most people are quite pleased with that result?

[Baird of the land]

Don't blame the players for that. Down to completely inept manager who set up aiming to lose the game to liverpool reserves.

Within the pathetic formation and tactics the manager employed, Lyanco was the one who really impressed.

Not sure about your last statement. I’m not embarrassed about anything. Just disappointed in my team’s performance, can you  clarify why you said ‘embarrassed’?

He doesn’t. Because Ralph is not a manager. Why are we persisting with him? What do they see? Or is it just saving on compo? Again

[hypochondriac]

It's not the loss, its the manner of it. Not good.

[Ekelund]

Fucking embarrassing 

spineless

bent over 

[woodsaint1]

Dont even give this shower of shite the dignity of a lap of honour. Absolutely gutless. Deciding to have a go in the last five minutes is taking the piss out of the fanbase

[Convict Colony]

thought lyanco played well tonight and was our best player, not much competition tho

It's Ralph lovers like you why he's unfortunately still in a job, big fucking deal Konate was £36m, that performance was fucking dreadful , no fight no heart, no tactics,  its all on Ralph no excuse , if u think its not your as deluded as Ralph himself  

[Saint_clark]

Is anyone actually hanging around for the lap of appreciation?

[Teddeer]

In the last few minutes we had them on the back foot because we pressed them and had the players on the pitch who should have started the game. Gutless from Ralph. 10 days to select a side and set them up to play like that. Embarrassing.

[Matthew Le God]

So needlessly passive!

Not against their B team, and not with that performance and tactics.

I’d have only justified that had we got something

[obelisk]

I could imagine that sort of performance is Saints needed to avoid a heavy defeat to stay up but that was just plain unacceptable. Bookies will likely already have Saints odds on for relegation after that gutless show,

[Ralph Fastenbüttl]

Calm down, folks. Nearly all of us would have taken 1-2 before kick-off.

[northam soul]

It’s the lack of intensity that really fucks me off. There were times when we are just jogging around and no one busting a gut.

When you are losing (at least when I played sport) you fucking try to turn it around.

 

[badgerx16]

Can I get a refund on the 2 hours of my evening that have just been wasted ?

[Charlie Wayman]

Spineless, gutless, clueless a bunch of second rate losers that we will be stuck with next year. I can hardly bear to watch this fumbling amateurism any more. Right now we must be the worst team in the league. Please just quit Hasenhüttl and take Watson, Davis and your other bunch of clowns with you.

[beatlesaint]

Had we given that a go we could have won that. Why no pressing anymore? Why just pass it around aimlessly waiting for Liverpool to score? Why not change anything when the went ahead? It was same old same old. Put on another striker and give it a real go? Not our Ralph.

Pathetic, get rid of him, he’s lost the players and run out of ideas.

You don’t if you’re evading injury for your new club(s). JWP had the look of one doing that, to me.

Has to be money related otherwise he'd be going. Pellegrino and Hughes got sacked for runs like this.

Typo

[Dr Who?]

Did they release the new kit? 

[striker]

went pretty much as I bet most of would have guessed. A depleted Liverpool side comes to St Mary's and grinds out a win. We just are not in their class.
