West Ham 1-0 Saints - Match Thread

[OttawaSaint]

Saints players just love to get into a bit of space and then pass straight to the oppo. 

[adrian lord]

Millimetres away from being down to 10 men

[macca155]

In fairness Elyounoussi is starting to put a shift in but DCC is a liability.

[Saint_clark]

DCC is fucking brainless.

[obelisk]

DCC yellow. How soon before Saints are reduced to 10?

[Mikey88]

All this talk of systems etc. but is it not just common sense to play your better, more threatening players rather than trying to be too clever? How can we afford to not play Alcaraz and Sulemana in games we need to win? Awful team selection.

[Chez]

great run by Ely.

[Mr X]

Caletta car is a fucking liability 

[tdmickey3]

Desperate defending, utterly clueless attacking and some ridiculous team selections

Woeful right through the club

Championship mediocrity awaits

[Convict Colony]

Wonder what Armstrongs stats are for launching the opposition's team counter attacks.

[macca155]

I can see it now half time subs Orsic, Diallo and Aribo

[SW5 SAINT]

Anybody else following on SSN and see Southampton come up in red with 1-1 equaliser, shout for joy, only to realise it was the women’s game……?

[whelk]

Armstrong woudl get knocked off the ball in an under 10s game. Weak as piss

[Saint Gifford]

Rogers anyone…………………

[Saint_clark]

Armstrong just gave up and collapsed.

Check out what he does for their goal. Bernard gave more of a fuck.

Why has he kept that back until now?

[Saint Matty 76]

Do something at fucking half time, this attack is not working AGAIN.

We are embarrassingly toothless.

[AlexLaw76]

Given away again by Mo

Does he have the Guly clause?

[Convict Colony]

Mara needs to be running onto balls not holding them up and fighting.

Need one of our wingers to have pace.

[Saint_clark]

Needs to be Alcaraz on for Armstrong and Sulemana for Mara at half time.

[Archers Road Stand]

Stu Armstrong's time here is done. He looks so past it at this level.

Must have he so consistently unbelievably shite 

[obelisk]

Ings does Saints a favour by hitting the bar.

If you mean Rodgers, no bloody thanks!

[HarvSFC]

Armstrong’s the worst of the lot. Used to really like him as a player, but he’s horrendous now.

Agreed, he’s been utterly terrible here.

None of the front four deserve to see the second half.

[SotonianWill]

such little ability. such little fight. lazy, unfit bunch of cowards. 

[obelisk]

Oh it was Bowen.

[Mr X]

Even when we have been through the awfulness of Jones it still didn't spur the club into appointing the right person... We need a manager not the players best mate! 

[whelk]

Ref is fucking shite as well

[Saint_clark]

Armstong had so long to fucking keep that in or get out of the way for KWP to take over and he just watched it go out of play. Useless.

[Saint86]

Selles has a lot to answer for for this one i'm afraid.

Paul, Carlos, and Sulemana should have all started this one. And given we're now in a position where we have to score, all 3 should be on immediately at half time. Mara should have been kept until 60ish minutes when Paul gets tired.

I think Selles is doing ok. It's the signings that have put us in this position. Total lack of quality and the new January signings warming the bench. Utter waste of money.

Call me a deluded optimist but, with Alcatraz and Suleiman to come on, I still fancy our chances given we're just 1-0 down at half time. 

[Chez]

Fucking hell Perraud. Woeful defending against Bowen. Get bloody tight. 

[adrian lord]

I really fucking hate Sports Republic

What is he doing that is OK?

Look at the state of the team and style of play. He has hardly just arrived either

[bangkoksaint]

Well done Ruben. Inspirational 

[Galway saint]

Least number of goals at this stage of any season in our history 

West Ham look poor but we are so passive. Dreadful stuff

[Archers Road Stand]

HT. Pathetic performance. Shocking team selection from Selles and his shite Ralph Lite style of play. 

[IronCitySaint]

Is anyone even remotely surprised by this? 

[Saint Billy]

Any chance of heavenly intervention?

Paul.has been blody awful so far but at least offers something different I guess 

[jamesfp1]

As bad as it gets 

[obelisk]

Saints need to score at least two goals in this game otherwise we're in real trouble. Beyond the shot from Perraud we've looked toothless. We're going down with hardly a whimper.

He’s definitely on his way out this summer, regardless of what division we’re in.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Have we actually had a shot on goal? This is just awful. The Ref is shite too. Massive job to be done by Selles at half-time.

[Saint Matty 76]

West Ham going to be added to the list of utterly horrendous teams who we gift a win.

Sulemana, Alcaraz and Onuachu should be on at half time. You know, those players we spent about £50m on because the ones currently playing are terrible.

2 wins and 2 draws in 6 games?
