West Ham 1-0 Saints - Match Thread

[whelk]

Do you think we ever score goals in training?

[HKsaint]

Sulemana makes a difference

You are if you think he's been worse than Armstrong. He's made some good runs and some good defensive interventions.

He played as well as his ability lets him, at least he makes an effort to keep the ball moving. Armstrong meanwhile just dribbles into the opposition like he's done most of his career.

- Armstrong and Walker-Peters together = the slowest passing in the world as they instead try and fail to dribble past the opposition

Sully turning this game round

[obelisk]

Saints corners never seem to look dangerous. Another one easily cleared.

[whelk]

Fucking hook Armstrong. Fucking useless

[sandwichsaint]

How is Armstrong still on the pitch?

Bet we lose to the cones...

[adrian lord]

Antonio coming on…

[vectraman]

God how many times do we just give the ball away. No quality at all. Everything is slow and allows West Ham to get everyone back. Tedious and predictable Saints. ☹️

[Saint_clark]

What has he seen Armstrong do that he's happy with?

Armstrong has also been awful. 

Does anyone else on here think Moi had a good game? Show of hands please. 

Expand  

Moi's performances are always in a range of 3-6. In is 70 odd league matches, how many 7 or higher performances as he had? Today was not actually his worst game. Which says more about the bar set for him then the performance

[SotonianWill]

amazing what happens when you take off the shitters and bring on some half decent players

[BotleySaint]

We are not going to score.

All this huff and puff but no serious threat. 

[obelisk]

Saints living dangerously.

[Mr X]

Antonio.... Gulp 

[Saint Matty 76]

Every fucking week we look better with these players on the pitch and he still fucks up the selections.

Can’t be bothered having hope any more when this manager can’t even see the most obvious mistakes he’s making.

West Ham cruising to 3 points despite being fucking atrocious. Added to Forest, Wolves x2, Villa and I’m sure a few more.

[Chez]

Lavia is having another good game. A class above everything else we have, sadly.

No, he's been as frustrating as he ever is. Gives the ball away regularly and doesn't make any tackles. Made one half decent run today - one.

[OttawaSaint]

As long as I live I'll never understand:

1) Why Bednarek was allowed to waltz back into the team after not playing for Villa.

2) Why mangers pick Moi

3) Why JWP is allowed to keep taking corners when we've scored twice from them in about 3 years

4) Why we are so low in intensity and ideas in must win games

[HKsaint]

Tall Paul please

The boy is excellent. I hope for his sake he avoids Chelsea like the plague

[Tommy]

Utterly inept at the attacking elements of the game.

[Saint Matty 76]

Get a fucking striker on the pitch maybe??

[Nemi]

Is it a criteria for all our signings in the last 4 years to hold onto the ball for as long as possible without passing it?

[Southner]

Saints trying to find a cutting edge whilst running around with spoons. 

[Saint86]

Utter shit so far.

[Archers Road Stand]

They're so comfortable. Just relegate us now. 

[zurichboy]

They are woeful...if I didn't know any better, and I don't, I would have to think that for whatever reason they are playing to go down. They can't be this bad week after week, surely. They are not playing with any drive or desire, nothing at all. Get used to the new destinations in the Championship guys, they're coming.

 

[OttawaSaint]

Hilarious tactics, big high crosses for midget forwards and when Paul plays they put it into his feed.

Thick twats.

[Saint_clark]

Ffs get Onuachu on for Armstrong, Walcott down the right and get everyone in and around Onuachu waiting for the ball to bounce off of him.

[The Cat]

Ings was absolute garbage which is surprising because he was playing against the worst defence in the league and was guaranteed to score according to posts earlier.

[Suhari]

Tall Paul to save us!

[sydney_saint]

My mate (a spurs fan) just messaged "why does it always seem to be the players saints bring odd the bench always seem to be several levels better than the ones coming off the pitch". Mate, preaching to the choir here.

You'd prefer Lyanco was playing CB today? 

[Saint86]

This one is on selles, lined us up with a 9 man side for 50odd minutes.

[obelisk]

Another opponent having a poor day being handed 3 points by Saints. Same old story.

[Saint_clark]

Armstrong gives the ball away again. West ham corner follows.

We were relegated many months ago mate. We are, and have been for some time, consistently shyte. 

[die Mannyschaft]

Uou can't win games without scoring, why ddidn't we by a striker or even two. Even if we played long ball there is no natural front man. Too much negative football for two seasons makes it impossible to raise the pace when one down. None of these players would be fit or skillfull enough in championship.

We keep foolishly hoping something will click and change. Game after game it stays the same. Really crap being a Saints fan this season. Constant shite.

By being simultaneously crap it probably balances things out and makes our attack and defence both look reasonably decent. 

[Chez]

bloody hell, that's a brave save

This season is like death by a thousand cuts.

Another West Ham free kick to be lumped into the box.

Must not lose. Theo, Ely, Mara off immediately for Paul, Carlos, Sulemana.

70minutes to line up with the team that should have started. so poor. Edozie as well should be in the matchday squads.

Thanks for clueless comment Ruben !!

[LiberalCommunist]

This season has been like a long euthanasia session. But we are now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

The funny thing is last summer was our “reset” summer. 🤣
