Saints 0-2 Brentford - Match Thread

[adrian lord]

Ward-Prowse way off target

 

it wasn’t really a freekick anyway we got very lucky there

[egg]

A waste from that side. Perraud a better option from there. 

[Norm]

I’ve messaged 3 people watching/at the game, ‘Any sign of us scoring?’

Replies, none/not a chance/not tonight. Really?

[Nottssaint1]

Any working live streams?

[Saint NL]

Did the commentator just say he "put too much quality on that freekick"?

 

🤗

[OttawaSaint]

Such a toothless effort. Surely we can create something that our so called attacking players can score with?

What are the alternatives, we have fuck all going forward. On the pitch or on the bench. 
 

Credit to Brentford, defended well kept the game in front of them and made it difficult for us .

Get a second striker on. Peronally for me it should be Onachu. We're pumping crosses into the box, why not try and do so to a 7 foot giant.

Barely creating a decent chance. No one on the pitch who looks like they want to score. Yes, can't see any goals coming from us.

Had he started it on the middle of the goal it'd have had a chance to swerve into the far corner.

[adrian lord]

Alcatraz off

[Saint NL]

Might as well make all remaining Saints games "golden goal".

It'd save us all a lot of time.

[harvey]

Rancid.......Saints ATM

[Sfcphilc]

Tall Paul on. Get crosses in the box and try and win the knock downs. Old school but we need a goal however scrappy.

For me, Adams and Paul won’t work. Both want to do the same thing. 
 

Lavia, will give us the ability to pass the ball inbetween the lines and we need to keep someone in the 10. 
 

We’ve played well, but lacking that bit of quality to break them down, for me, another striker isn’t the answer 

[bangkoksaint]

2 wins and 11 goals at home all season!!! 

[Micky]

Brentford offering absolutely nothing in this half, but you just know they will score again. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Onuachu on to get on the end of all the Bree passes into the box!

We are absolutely hopeless in the penalty box

"in the penalty box"  - is superfluous.

[OttawaSaint]

Brentford are there for the taking but as usual we can't create a thing. So many 1-0 defeats to total dross who score with their only chance.

[Saint_clark]

Sulemana is infuriating.

[Chez]

We seen to have upped the tempo.

Come On Onuachu get us this equaliser

Brentford clearly aren't total dross that's us 

[SNSUN]

[Saint Gifford]

Broken record I know.
 

But any ability in front of goal from open play please.
 

Not only from an out and out striker but from midfield or the wings defence anywhere……………….

We can play football not doubt about that.
 

In front of what counts, we just haven’t done it for years.

I don’t want to use the crap football speak, but I will and say we have no identity or DNA. 
 

We can get out of this but clearly,

“The Southampton Way” has lost its way. 
 

Yes I know we have had a change of ownership and plenty of Managers and Player changes.
 

But surely our core mission statement that has worked only a few seasons ago needs to be revisited.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Commentator finally twigs that the reason Brentford have not had a second half of expansive, attacking football is that they might not want to be risking the lead.

He’s shit imo. Quick and that’s about it.

What a dreadful game. It really is the Premier League at its worst.

[OttawaSaint]

This is like watching a scrambled porn channel dick in hand hoping to catch a glimpse of a nipple or pussy.

He looks another abysmal signing.

oh, did diddums goalie get challenged. Bless.

[Dman]

What an awful cross by Bree.

We bought such a lot of crap with no overall strategy about creating a balanced team and philosophy of play. Desperate scattergun purchases.

[Saint NL]

Best thing I've seen the big lad do since he signed.

Useless cunt.

 

[Mr X]

Who the fuck is in charge of our recruitment? Lavia aside they need to be sacked 

[Suhari]

We're going down, aren't we?

[Saint NL]

Why the fuck are we crossing it to Walcott when we've got an actual giant on the pitch

[Saint_clark]

Utterly embarrassing that Bree is playing for us in the Prem.

[Mr X]

Just now, Suhari said:

Yes....... yes we are 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Gah! pointless sideways passing.

Plan A: We have a player the height of a skyscraper. Get the ball into him early, from deep., wide positions. Bree, or a from a bit further forward Perraud.

Plan B: Mainly see plan A. But he also offers physical presence and decent skill to bring in others.

So far, we've given him nothing like a chance.

[adrian lord]

The subs have made us far worse, if that was even possible

[OttawaSaint]

Still offer nothing from corners. Why isn't TP going near post?

Same goes for Moi, Perraud and Diallo tbf. 

All midtable Championship players. 

[Shance]

Crossing it to Walcott instead of the striker thats 15 feet tall. Brilliant. 

[Saint NL]

Extra crossing practise tomorrow I think

[adrian lord]

I think the next team to score might be Brentford.

[Saint_clark]

Gary Birtles is such a cunt.
