Saints 0-1 Cherries - Match Thread

[Saint_clark]

This is really tough to watch. We got ourselves into such a good position as a club under Koeman and fucked it all up by thinking we were too clever. We should have just given him the £8million a year he wanted and let him carry on with his squad.

[Raging Bull]

I think this eloquently sums up our attempts at escaping relegation

The worry there is that we've been watching them that long, that we'd all miss. 🙂

[obelisk]

At least the team that went down in 2005 had a goal threat about them. This lot are gutless.

[Guest]

Chris Sutton has been spot on with everything he has said about us tonight.

To summarise: We’re piss poor and don’t play with any anger or intensity or willing to stay in the Premier League.

[Sheaf Saint]

Jesus fucking Christ. I've watched some horrific performances this season but this tonight tops the lot - worse even than that Forest game. We're being given a football lesson by Bournemouth.

No intensity, no fight, no plan. Just a completely disjointed bunch of headless fucking chickens trying to make it look like they actually care. Without doubt the worst Saints team I have seen in 35 years of supporting them.

[SW5 SAINT]

At this rate they will fall straight through the Championship…..

[Mattio]

Sums us up really...

[Mr X]

Can we get our great escape 2023 t shirts out now? 

[obelisk]

Saints at last putting crosses into the box but the bloke they bought to convert them isn't even on the bench.

I'm not watching and it's still fucking horrendous.

[Crab Lungs]

Sutton going in again, saying Saints have no intensity, no urgency. Do they know what’s at stake?

[allsa001]

It is as though these players have never even seen each other before. What on earth do we do in training all week. The b team would have put in a much better performance than this.

[Saint86]

All these crosses into the box, imagine we had the tallest player in the prem on the pitch...

[Archers Road Stand]

Alcaraz has been abysmal 

[Edmonton Saint]

Even the commentator taking the piss. “ an attempt on goal by Southampton “

[Crab Lungs]

Wow, 20 mins in and a header going backwards from 12yds out. Pathetic.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

"Saints showing more life."

Only a little. Bournemouth have changed tactics, fairly happy that we look a bit clueless in the final third.

Alcaraz may be getting a card for being gravitationally challenged.

[Saint_clark]

Really good play for once. Alcaraz fucks it up with a dive.

Half our coaching staff were B team coaches before

Pathetic dive from. Alcarez second one 

[Saint NL]

Wtf is Alcarez doing? 

Awful

He’s bang on

Also asking why it took so long to make changes

hes right 

[BotleySaint]

We would be better with a random fan as manager for the remaining games. Selles absolutely clueless. 

[James]

This lot don’t care so why should we? I’ve switched it off. Sooner Selles is fired the better.

Please don’t blame Jesus. Even a miracle can’t save us.

JWP clearly didn't want to be part of the team that sealed our relegation 🤣

I’m sure they know what’s at stake…

 

 

… they just don’t give a shit.

God knows how A.Armstrong is still on. 

[AlexLaw76]

who would have thought, a sign of a focal point up top and the ball is not coming back at our defence immediately....

who would have thought

He should be gone by 10pm. No excuses

[Crab Lungs]

Ruben Selles, your football is SHIT

[SaintZamboni]

Nothing worthwhile is going to happen so I’m going to use my last post to suggest that everyone leaves the stadium. Fuck booing these useless sacks of shit. Just let them trudge off in soaking wet silence. 

[Edmonton Saint]

Stuart Armstrong is another one who has been absolutely horrendous this season.

Selles is blinded by the lights of being in charge of a side. Just no idea of how to build a side. The selection tonight and then the subs have been utterly clueless. He’s gone after this, no way back. We’ll do well to stay in the championship on this performance.

Imagine being effectively relegated by fucking Bournemouth at home. They can sell the whole lot of these melts in the summer - appalling!

Disapointed in Sutton. His old school "This is a game Southampton have to win" fails to take into account the subtle tactical, counter attacking, nuances of SeelesBall. In his dinosaur world he'd have an attacking team, dictating play, getting the crowd onside, creating chances and retaining a place in the Premier League. I shall be sending a letter of complaint in. 🙂

well he aint sitting on the fence his he,and fuck me hes saying what we say for fuck sake .There is no urgency at all ..........................PONDEROUS.

[Saint_clark]

Sulemana and Djenepo on for Maitland niles and A. Armstrong please. Right now.

Almost like it’s the players just as much (if not more) as the manager. We’ve had 3 this season and not much has changed. Turgid football served up week after week. In a season with effectively 2 pre seasons it’s criminal. 

[Baird of the land]

Commentators once again nailing our choices to hit the ball for the little guy to try and head

But he’s got a nice haircut and wears a suit, so gets more grace than Jones.

[Crab Lungs]

Why isn’t anyone kicking right off? This is unreal. Isn’t anyone angry, or furious?

[Chez]

Why is Sulemena not on this pitch? 

[obelisk]

No width. Bournemouth totally comfortable with Saints powder puff rubbish.

[Saint NL]

The only pleasure I'm taking from this season is seeing Everton get relegated.

 

[Saint_clark]

That's a disgusting decision from the lino, it cleared was kicked off the Bournemouth players shin.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

AMN never looked like getting the ball in there. Just so poor  in everything.

[stknowle]

Christ Sutton cannot believe what he is seeing.
