Saint_clark Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 No time added for the time wasting then. Had time enough to see if Ronaldo could score on the break you biased cunt. 1
obelisk Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Saints back to being profligate in front of goal. Should never have lost that game. 3
The Kraken Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 A game when we’ve looked really good defensively, really good going forward, but just not clinical enough to even get the ball on target. De Gea really hasn’t been made to work, despite us dominating large parts of the game. 2 1
Saint NL Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 All over. Good effort, should not be losing that game
ecurnew02 Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Harsh game to lose, we looked much better than them after their goal
Lee On Solent Saint Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Didn't deserve that. Fernandes is such a wanker 1
benjii Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Not enough quality in the final third. Need to get rid of Elyounoussi, get Mara in the team and, ideally, sign another forward. 4 1

There's loads of games we've played shit and won and vice versa. Playing well and losing bodes well for the rest of the season. Never want to lose but this is contrasted with the spurs loss where we looked horrendous. 1
MarkSFC Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 That was a decent performance despite the result. Some real highlights with the younger players, especially ABK and Lavia. Liked how AA played. Think Aribo needs to get going. Add a striker, AMN and maybe a CB and CM and its should be a good season. And Tino to come back at sometime. 2 1
stknowle Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Well played Saints. Keep that up all season we should be fine* *It is a strong league this season, a good team could go down.
coalman Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 I'm still waiting to see that trip on Adams in the box again. Can't believe there was only 6 minutes stoppage time given the number of stoppages. I don't think the refs are biased but I do think they made some poor decisions. Mara has to start for me. He makes things happen.

Micky Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Gave it a decent shot, ultimately not enough quality in front of goal again, leading to another plucky loss. There's positives there but I think we will struggle this season.
jamesfp1 Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 That handball call was absolutely inexcusable. McTominay slaps the ball at least 3 times. 7

Factor in 30 seconds for each sub and the goal and we should have seen at least 8 minutes.

SNSUN Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 We wuz robbed. Wait, is this the match reaction fred? 😜
ally_uk Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Think We can hold heads high i'm really impressed with some of our new signings especially Lavia and Bella Kotchap. The ref was a joke how was that not a penalty when he handled it twice in the box? what am I missing?
Convict Colony Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Mara what an impact in the games he's joined. We are all gutted cos we were unlucky to lose to a great finish by fernandes, lets fuck up chelsea next 2

saintant Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Plenty of positives and lots to admire in our performance. Thought we were worth a point overall. ABK superb as was Lavia. Djenepo did really well at full back. Mara was lively and had two great attempts. Disappointments for me were KWP and JWP who both can play better. If we have a good finish to the transfer window who knows - think we need a striker and a creative midfielder more than anything after watching today's game. Good effort lads against a side that costs millions. 3

Saint NL Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Mara does seem to be a super sub, comes on and gets involved straight away

De Gea really hasn’t been made to work, despite us dominating large parts of the game. Yep agree with that. Didn’t really do enough to win it but didn’t deserve to lose either. De Gea had one save to make which was right at him. Adams is great at holding the ball up and bringing others in but doesn’t get in behind enough. Arguably could have had a penalty but we really didn’t threaten very much Can’t blame Ralph for starting with that team aside from Elyanoussi who didn’t effect the game whatsoever and surprised he stayed on as long as he did. But in hindsight an extra body up front to get at them would have made a difference, they were vulnerable when we got at them but too often Adams was isolated up front. thought A Armstrong looked a threat out wide and that two centre halves looked excellent, pace power and ability on the ball. Love the look of Mara too, looks a class act and will be a player once he’s settled in as I said above good to see Mctominney getting bullied losing out physically a few times too often in the past that’s been us 4
Delmary Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Thought we played really well. Latvia was absolutely amazing. Lots to be positive about. Mid table looks a realistic possibility. 3

Jimmy_D Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Daylight robbery that they won that, Saints by far the better team. New signings are looking better and better. The ref… well… 1

Of the 3 times he handled the ball the first one the arm wasn’t in the natural silhouette, the second probably ok as Adams was jostling with him and the 3rd didn’t he just flick it away?
Saints foreva Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 We didn't deserve to lose that one. Big few days now, need to get some creativity in that team.

qwertyell Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Lost that in the first ten minutes of the second half when we didn't get out of the dressing room. Poor mentality to half ass it until pricked into action. Aside from that we competed really well. Desperate lack of quality going forward though. That we're throwing on Lyanco to play centre forward and playing hit and hope sums it up. I think a creative player is even more important to bring in than a striker. Having Elyounoussi and an out of position Adam Armstrong trying to open up defences is not a sustainable approach. Aribo might be an awkward set of limbs, but I've seen nothing to suggest he's a creator. Defended well generally. There's a good partnership to be developed between Bella-Kotchap and Salisu. Djenepo put in another manful shift. Lavia is a brilliant player - he's outshone Ward-Prowse in midfield every week so far. Disappointed not to get a point, but not a total disaster.

Secret Site Agent Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Well some positives for sure. Back to the drawing board though.

Mara seems like a class act, hopefully he’s up to speed and able to start soon. McTominay is really not that good and got exposed for what he is today. To be fair, Lavia was excellent, such a cool head and so often in the right place. We are definitely missing a clinical striker. Adams does a job but today showed what he about, gets in good positions but not able to finish. I get the feeling our transfer business is done and we will end up being overly reliant on players like Aribo, Mara, and the Armstrongs for goals from behind a lone striker. 1
Ralph Fastenbüttl Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Like others have said, a really pleasing performance, especially from the new lads. On another day we get something from that game. And hopefully our shyness in front of goal adds to the pressure to sign a CF this week. On the flip side, we were so solid defensively I wonder if we just played ourselves out of any further defensive recruitment...
Baird of the land Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Clear evidence of bias in referring. clear evidence of bias in media, refusing to even mention that football doesn’t involve basketball. as for saints. Decent performance. We lack clinical ness, which we all knew. Deserved at least a point if cheating refs/ var actually did their job. 3
Convict Colony Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Am getting forum anxiety about what i can post in what threads today - is this the post match thread as well ?
The Kraken Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 No surprise that Peter Walton agrees with the VAR decision. Such an utterly pointless man. 7
The Cat Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Played well, undone by the one bit of quality they produced. Half time was a shambles though. Had to listen to wall to wall fucking Oasis on the tannoy and then Sammy Saint made a poor effort to save the first shot in the relay and got nutmeged. 1
Convict Colony Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Also on my stream i had a lady commentating. In the build up she was talking about martinez, during the game she was talking about martinez and at the end of the match she gave martinez MOM, is she a plant from Man U PR team. Thought martinez was alright, che worked him and varane very hard, thought man u's best player was probably dalot
