Liverpool 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Saint NL]

Defense nowhere to be seen again.

So very easy for Liverpool 

[OttawaSaint]

Well I enjoyed our goal and our endeavor but we're fucking terrible really.

Defence so easy to cut through,  completely unorganised,  can't get away with that at this level 

Nunez movement is an issue, he is getting between defenders and behind our CBs who are scrambling to get goal side. It's a fuckign nightmare. Midfield just do not put any pressure on the ball...

...as the third goal showed. JWP no where near his man, Ely doesn't track his man, goal. Five at the back sucks.

[Disco Stu]

Game over before half-time. Simply can't defend.

Other results not going our way. Horrendous day so far

At least the two teams directly above us are losing.

[Saint Fan CaM]

FFS. Shit defending again but the difference between our strikers and theirs is a World apart. We don’t stand a chance.

[BotleySaint]

Ridiculously easy.

Could be a heavy one if this keeps up.

Depressing the lack of effort. You've got one team full of players going to the world cup and you've got us acting as flight attendants.

[OttawaSaint]

Leeds winning again. NJ has an enormous task to keep us up. 

[AlexLaw76]

sod a new striker, if we have a keeper who lets 1 in a game, and a defence so disorganised like this, we are as good as down.

9/10 window, yes?

[warsash saint]

So how does Robertson not get booked there ??!!!

[USaint]

It’s a shame that ABK and Salisu will not get the 6 weeks with NJ. I hope he will be given the money to buy a class striker that but there’s a lot potential (and a LOT of work to be done) with our defense but with Tino and KWP coming back should help.

Bye then.

Fuxsakes he missed THAT. I didn’t think was a foul either.

caused by our midfield giving their midfield so much time. Our strikers cause so few problems too, so they can push up at will.

[Disco Stu]

That Che Adams miss 😂

As proven my Che's miss just then (which wouldn't have counted anyway). Unforgiveable to not at least get it on target from there.

Yep, defending is a team effort.

[The Kraken]

We are completely overrun in midfield. Our midfield is basically a bunch of players who are all running towards their own goal in an effort to get back behind the play.

[BotleySaint]

Hopefully Adams was kicking it wide there and that wasn't his genuine effort on goal.

Do you ever give it a rest, have a day off, we know where we are

Baggage handlers!

[Saint Fan CaM]

So Che nicks the ball off a sleeping Pool defender and Ref calls a foul?!? WTF?!

[Sheaf Saint]

Maddison has gone off injured. Maybe JWP might get a call up after all?

Is this necessary in every thread?

Yes, the people who said 9/10 got it wrong. Get over it.

[skintsaint]

HT - score not entirely a surprise. Jones has a lot of sorting out to do.

[davefizzy14]

Really dissapointing to be 3-1 down after getting back level. Lots of work to be done in the second half.

Personally, other than the keeper and letting Romeu leave, not sure most are far off.

I think it is more the damage of sticking with Ralph beyond the summer...

The two teams above us being West Ham and Everton - they’re both (with the possible exception of Everton) are going to get more points than we are this season I’d reckon.

The teams we need to be catching are Leeds, Fulham, Bournemouth, Brentford, Aston Villa and there is clear daylight between us and all them now, purely because most of them have taken 3 points from the bigger teams lately or they could still have been close.

Just need Nottm Forest and Wolves to win their matches and it’d be the worst day for us imaginable.

Please think twice about criticising 'Alex' for repeating the same thing over and over again. He'll get a wee bit upset.

[JRM]

Liverpool not even out of 2nd gear, ideal game for their world Cup players complete lack of intensity

I fear Liverpool may find top gear soon (not that they've needed to), we need to keep it respectable or morale may not recover

I think Bazunu is a top keeper. In the making.

I'm sure he will and a season in the championship might help him get there, shame it has to be with us

Fulham and Brentford are miles above us - 2 quality managers getting the very best from their players. Villa have too much quality and with emery will only improve. Also believe hammers will have too much to stay up. Think it’ll be between us, wolves, forest, bompey, Everton and Leeds. Jones has one hell of a job to keep this lot up

Someone needs to explain to Adam Armstrong what a first touch is meant to look like, the amount of games he mis-kicks it straight to a defender.

Being exposed down Moi/ABK side, they also seem to have more people in midfield that us always.

That sir was a genuine effort.

[Saint Matty 76]

Definitely a free hit of a game but I do hope Selles was in charge of the team selection.

So why do you keep posting it then? 

Personally I don't even remember who said 9/10. Do you keep a list?

That touch where he sent the ball 20 yards in front of him was pathetic.

Get rid in Jan and get Tella back.

[warwicksaint]

January we need a top striker and another top box to box centre midfielder. That with Tino and KWP coming back are our only hope of staying up i believe

[Mr X]

Think we can all for finally agree Adam Armstrong is not a premier League striker 

[Chez]

Really glad we went for it, pushed right up and gave it a go. Shame that lasted 12 minutes and we reverted to sit back and chase. Liverpool obviously had a role in that as they got hold of the game in midfield - they always do against us (and most teams to be fair). 

No idea how to solve our problems.

Never ever a foul, ridiculous

[obelisk]

It'd be interesting to hear the Jones half time reaction to that display.

[gammon cheeks]

3 at back just dont work to be honest ...keeper ,few good saves but a bit lost at times ...midfield lightweight as fuck and Armstrong up front pretty woeful! 

[NewYorkSaint]

Mara or Edozie on for Adam.   I can only imagine how intense this must be for NJ...

Finally some truthfulness on this forum hahhahhaa

 

[OttawaSaint]

I'd take off DCC for AMN and AA for Mara or Edozie and revert to 4 at the back.
