Man City 4-0 Saints - Match Thread

[DT]

And so it begins

[Brissysaint]

Been out on the piss tonight so hopefully that’ll numb the pain a little bit, have we actually touched the ball?

[Archers Road Stand]

Pathetic defending. So easy. 

[Miltonaggro]

Far too easy! 

[OttawaSaint]

There it is. Men vs boys...fucking easy...

[OttawaSaint]

Where the fuck was KWP?

 

[The Kraken]

Ward Prowse got absolutely fucking ripped. Rubbish.

[Suhari]

Quality goal to be fair.

[obelisk]

Can't live with them. Lucky to only be 1-0 behind.

That one was what i used but the 3rd stream down went offline at kick off and hasn't come back. None of the other links work - it seems they are all sharing the same stream.

[Saint NL]

Was it a double nutmeg?

 

Let's hope city take it easy now, keep it 1-0 til half time

[Saint Matty 76]

The two WP's have both been absolutely shit this season.

[Sunglasses Ron]

20 minutes for goal number one so my spreadsheet says 5-0 at full time.

[Saint_clark]

Wtf was KWP doing there.

[macca155]

KWP taking a big lump out of Foden. Bit naughty

On his arse on the half way line having committed a foul. He’s had a shocker so far.

He was fouling Foden up by the halfway line 😂

[Norm]

Good goal but was keeper slow to go down?

[Viking Saint]

Can't watch it but the score has just changed on my pinned score. So predictable there's not even disappointment, just acceptable of the inevitable 

[OttawaSaint]

Pointless watching any more of this. We're absolutely shocking at the back, kitten soft in midfield and we might as well not bother with forwards.

Hopefully RH gets the sack tonight. 

[Mr X]

Well at least we lasted 20 mins, longer than most thought 👍

You'll need a VPN for most if not all of them.

decent first ten, but a goal has seemed inevitable since. Our strikers have done absolutely nothing.

Cancelo took the piss out of JWP

[tdmickey3]

The moaning is incredible, did anyone expect anything else.

No one will stop this lot again this season in the PL

Saw it late as it came through several defender's legs.

He was unsighted. Went through a defender's legs first. He had no chance.

KWP getting exposed time and again down his side

Expand  

Like TAA, he is good going forward, but a weak link defensively, which is why astute opposition managers like Guardiola target him..

[Saint NL]

This needs a poll.

This game is lost, so would you prefer to keep it like this? Or get beat 7-0 and have Ralph fired?

Thats new - usually the free sites are ...free whereas if I'm gonna pay for a VPN service I'd want a decent stable service. I guess it might be the time to start paying for my streams.

Expected to lose, didn't expect one of our more experienced and dependable players in KWP to completely lose his head and charge 20 feet up field to dive in and commit a foul leaving his flank completely open for Cancelo to trot through and score.

RH will be going no matter what. So keep the score respectable to help the confidence of the squad.

[HKsaint]

Ralph will keep his job if we don’t let Haaland or Foden to score a hat trick. 

[Saint_clark]

Ake should be booked there ffs, that's deliberate handball.

[Chez]

Perraud shit touch, ball turned over.  He's just not good enough at the top level.

Losing his head? Or following instructions from the manager?

I won't pay Sky, but I would be happy to pay to watch. Who are you with?

[macca155]

Look City are an incredibly good team. These players pass so quickly, and they are lethal up front. I've totally accepted a hammering today and just want to see a disciplined performance from Saints with nobody hiding.

So far nothing unexpected, but every Saints pass is hurried, desperate, or backwards. If we had Haarland up front he'd never see the ball.

Somehow have to find a way of linking the midfield with the front two.

Ottawa was off to a flyer, first moan on goal was in the opening 2 minutes, something about a floated ball

[Saint Fan CaM]

We’ll it’s going pretty much to plan. Long kicks from Bazunu to a City player, recycle. Lucky it’s just one behind at 30 minutes.  We’re so spaced out around the park there’s never a pass option except backwards for a hoof upfield. Add to this the fact they are so much faster in their passing and there’s no way back from one down. Mid-managed again and that’s why Ralph needs to go.

Absolute rubbish, he’s one of our best defenders and has been for the last 2 years, dunno what you’ve been watching

There is no way Ralph instructed him to sprint into the CM position leaving fullback completely empty, as much as some of you might want as much ammo as possible against him.

His vision would have been blocked because the CB was stood in front of him. Also the shot was hit very hard.
