[Saint Scott]

How AMN is a professional footballer is beyond belief.

The fuck it was. Johnson slid in from the side of AMN, AMN didn't even realise he was behind him

Because he’s fucking shite and lacks any awareness. He’s alright, at best, on the ball. That’s it. Terrible footballer. 

[Baird of the land]

Why are we playing that pathetic loan boy.

[Archers Road Stand]

Really hope the fans show some bollocks on Saturday and give the players, management and board hell. Stop being soft as shit.

Anyone else think that shouldn’t be a penalty? he’s just stuck his foot out of no where to basically buy a penalty

I do think it’s a little dubious, AMN was swinging for the ball and he just plants his boot in the gap. Still clumsy though.

AMN is so shit

He's fucking terrible,  never want to see him in a Saints shirt again 

[Saint_clark]

Watch him take Alcaraz off for Elyounoussi at half time.

[Jimmy_D]

AMN had controlled the ball, looked more of a foul by the Forest player lunging in to me.

Course you can it was a foul. 

No way. Terrible decision 

[BotleySaint]

3-1 down at HT against a really poor team like Forest.

We are all over the place, no leadership, no style, no ideas.

Look around at the players, all on edge, half of them can't be arsed.

Most of them just don't care.

 

[macca155]

Commentator just said Southampton can't believe this score .... yes we can see it every week

[FarehamSaintJames]

Commentator: “Southampton cannot believe this score line”

Errr, yes we can. It’s entirely predictable.

I’d much rather Bree was given a run out tbh. Looks limited, but then so have AMN and KWP. 
 

Bree is part of our future, the other 2 wasters aren’t. 

[beatlesaint]

Commentator - You wouldnt discount Southampton yet

Saints fan base - Yes you effin would ! 

[Wade Garrett]

Prowsey needs to be braver on the ball.

my word

[IronCitySaint]

Anyone who has ever watched a game of football would know that putting AMN at left back would be a disaster, except, of course, Selles. Just a question of how many goals Forrest want to score now. We are making them look like a champions league team. 

[obelisk]

Can't believe there are some questioning that penalty. Foul all day long because AMN was too slow and wasn't aware of the danger.

[StrangelyBrown]

McCarthy is such a turd of a keeper, might as well replace him with a traffic cone.

We are so utterly shit and deserving of relegation. Forest are content letting us have the ball knowing full well that we'll mess something up and gift them the game.

Ive never disliked a saints side more.

[Saint_clark]

Djenepo started the season at left back playing really well, why haven't we gone back to that.

It was a harsh one. Doesn't matter whether he bought it tho.

[Lord Duckhunter]

Che Adams has been a waste of space, get the big fella on and get it in the mixer ffs.

of course it is a penalty, ffs

Talk Sport commentators disagree - say the Forest player placed his foot where AMN would hit it. Said it wasn't a pen but was 'clever' i.e. cheating.

Hardly, when he touched the ball and AMN kicked him.  
 

[Whitey Grandad]

Half time. This is where Selles earns his money and sends them out for the security half all fired up.

 

Yeah, right.

Such up you idiot 😂😂

The forest player didn’t touch AMN. AmN was too slow to clear the ball and booted the man. Obvious foul. As obvious as they come.

Playing him right back is bad enough, left back is a total disaster. 

[AlexLaw76]

AMN playing the hybrid fullback / CM role is hilarious 

[coalman]

We're really setting out our stall to end the season on 24 points

Let's agree to disagree Alex. It doesn't define our season. I would be shocked to see that given in the championship, but we will have to wait and see.

Yeah was just thinking that watching Armstrong do well to drive and get some space, only for JWP to instantly pass backwards without a thought of going forward

[S-Clarke]

Standard really, statistics that lull people into a false sense of us actually playing well. Lots of pissing around with it, no huge openings, but Forest stick a bit of thrust behind their limited attempts on the ball and look what happens.

[BotleySaint]

Another one of those must win games eh.. 

Thank goodness today didn't really matter.

Yep. Sulemana on too. Literally nothing to lose now. Go hell for leather. 

[saintant]

Who came up with the bright idea to play AMN left back but then have him wandering into central midfield leaving the fastest right winger in the league all the time and room in the world to do as he pleases? We've played some dodgy tactics but that's right up there. Laughable.

[Mr X]

This team has to one of our worst ever assembled we are just so gutless, passionless and bottle it at every opportunity, we can't raise our game even when we absolutely have to! We can't even win a game for pride for the fans! 

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

Same old shit. Clueless and gutless.

A complete fucking embarrassment. 

 

This will end about 6-1.

AMN can't tackle, pass , get in position, might as well be playing for Forest , get him off 

[Whitey Grandad]

AMN might have just got a touch on his heel. Not enough to send him tumbling though. It’s cheating.

He’s one of the worst players I’ve seen play for us in the Prem, like Olivier Bernard level shit.

Yeah Bree would be fine by me. I'd even be ok with giving Payne a game.

[Tommy]

Stone wall penalty for me.

 

[saint1977]

ABK had been hovering around my worst ever top flight Saints XI for players who appeared for a decent sample size of games. Tonight he’s booked his place, a hapless CB made of glass, Daren Powell for the 2020s. He might make an excellent player later in his career but a very poor player now and delighted when he moves on. 

AMN is poor but fish up a tree at LB. Midfield so lightweight again.

Ironically, that (and terrible defending) is why we’re 3-1 down, been reckless going forward with little end product. Easy pickings.

Absolute fucking joke.
