Palace 1-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Saint Fan CaM]

Here we go, knocking it about at the back like we’ve got 30 minutes left.

[Disco Stu]

Ralph out please.

[Saints foreva]

Passive as fuck this half. They've been there for the taking. 

Ralph out.

Seconded.

[Saint_clark]

How is there only 5 minutes? When Edozie came on during that injury it was 70, when the game restarted it was 75. 

[OttawaSaint]

God we're so shit. Palace cantering to victory. Easy!

[Saint NL]

Blood and thunder?

 

More like thud and blunder 😥

[Mr X]

Jesus well we lost the game in the first half with an abysmal game plan 

[OttawaSaint]

Spurs 3-2 up on Bournemouth

Does it matter? We obviously weren't interested in winning the game or else why does Ralph decide to waste the whole of the first half.

[OttawaSaint]

4 for BHA vs Chelsea. Must be nice...

Spot on.

[OttawaSaint]

Weak, limp effort really. Sick of this.

Lol when was the last time we score four goals in a single game ffs.

[obelisk]

Not exactly applying any pressure are we?

He's doing alright though, whatever actual position you want to call it. 

Sure, but look how isolated the lad is on the right…not many chances to run at the defence and create chances which is what we needed him to do.

We're lucky to get 4 in a month!

Nothing will change under oh clueless one.

[nta786]

Full time. Crystal Palace 1 Southampton 0

[rooney]

Seems Adams cost us again.

[disconnect]

He’s got to go after this. Surely. 

[adrian lord]

Crap. 

[Chris cooper]

We wouldn’t of scored if we played for a fucking month .. long journey home !! Ralph out !!!!! 

[Jimmy_D]

Game of two halves, didn’t take advantage of ‘our’ half.

Annoying.

On to the next.

[Miltonaggro]

Moribund shite again…

[Vancouver Saint]

So another Ralph special - somehow engineer a 1-0 loss to a close rival. The worst. We lost that game in the first half with the wrong attitude and approach.

[DG]

Build a time machine and flog Adams to Leeds.

Honestly think a caretaker manager is our best bet of getting anything from Newcastle next week and Liverpool the week after. Otherwise I see two limp defeats...

Ralph needs to stand up and take his massive share of the blame. The first half was totally inexcusable.

[Sheaf Saint]

Well there it is. Yet another 1-0 win gifted to a poor team.

This one is all on Ralph. I can see what he was thinking in the first half, but for love of fucking God man - pleeeeeeease will you stop persisting with this failed experiment of Diallo at DM. How could you not see it wasn't working and should have been changed sooner?

[obelisk]

If we had a decent goalscorer we'd have several more points. Adam's misses are costing Saints dear.

[OttawaSaint]

August 7 EPL goals

September 0 EPL goals

October 4 EPL goals.

4 goals in 2 months, BHA 4 vs Chelsea...hmm

[Saint NL]

We were so so poor in the first half, it's seems crazy to say we should have got something out of this, but it's true.

Two massive chances in the second half, if the tables were turned you know the opposition would have scored both.

Very poor to throw away a half and expect to come back in the second half. It worked last week but you cannot survive doing it, it's suicidal.

 

No chance Ralph goes now before the World Cup break. So the next two games are going to be tough.

[Saints foreva]

Che Adams is our first choice striker. Head should fucking roll for that clusterfuck. Mara and Aribo are a waste of money. 

[Micky]

Oh well, yet another early night, no motd for me, again.

Correct. Let's hear the manager admit he got it wrong.

If only we had a half decent striker.

[DT]

Shit manager in yet another shit result shocker. Who’d have thought it?

[danjosaint]

On the plus side at least Eddie Howe is shit as well ...........

[Sfcphilc]

If we had a goalscoring striker instead of Adams, we'd win that. That's the difference. That lies with the owners. Ralph can only play the players we've signed. A draw would've been fair today. 

[Charlie Wayman]

How much longer can this agony go on? Another appallingly inept performance with the inevitable outcome. Wonder what excuses will be trotted out this time.

Surely the time is up for this clueless clown? Get him out!

Yes, how Southampton didn't get Wilson when Bournemouth were relegated in 2020 is a mystery.

[FarehamSaintJames]

I’m currently working. 
Can anyone give a half decent summary without the hysterics of how the game went please. 👍🏻

Explain why Ralph presided over that shitshow of a first half without doing a thing to change it.

[stknowle]

There's just nowhere near enough goals in this team. Create so little and the little that's created falls to poor strikers because poor strikers is all we've got.

Just waiting for the announcement that RH has been sacked. This can’t go on.

Could one of the Kids like Ballard do any worse right now ?  Scored against Shrewsbury in the cup and not seen since. Surely he’d be an option got the last 20 minutes , at least he looks like he can finish unlike Adams

[wooley7]

I got in after 60 minutes and for that half hour we have been well on top and created some decent chances. 
 

Reading this thread it must have been really, really bad before that.

From the bit I saw it looks like finishing has cost us points again.

Those going on and on about Edozie playing right back, don’t you have enough ammo for Ralph without making shit up. He played right wing and Djenepo left wing and we had 3 at the back, no full backs!
