Saints 1-4 Leicester - Match Thread

[Andy Hill]

Why the hell is A Armstrong playing let alone Captain. Shambles all round.

[Sunglasses Ron]

Where do we rank in terms of being the laughing stock of English football?

Surely we’re top 3 but can’t actually think of anyone above us.

Man United are a laughing stock at the moment. Then Everton, then us.

[obelisk]

I'm just waiting for Leicester's fifth. Saints aren't going to score.

[Galway saint]

we have conceded 9 goals in two games  and 16 in 6 games - jesus christ 

[CB Fry]

Russell Martin really really needs this to stay at "just" 4.

I think you’re massively overestimating how much other club’s fans actually care about Saints.

Yeah apart from the bits where we’ve more possession and more shots. 
 

They haven’t outplayed us, we outshitted them. 

Expand  

You’d have loved the Sunderland game.  We had 70% possession in that one.

Loving the positivity on here this evening.

Anyone thinking Leicester won’t win this league by 10 points is a moron. We’ll be luckily to be top half. 

Smallbone is fucking terrible, just as we all knew. 

Expand  

Thing is he was pretty decent last season in this league.  As was THB.  As was Manning. As was Bree....Oh ok.  2/3 isn't bad so is it him...Or something else.

They are both Premier league teams. We are shitting 4 or 5 goals for fun in the championship.

And rightly so, it's an entertainment industry as well.  This is garbage.

We've already conceded nearly half as many as Burnley did all last season.

After SIX games.

Does it really look much worse if we concede another? It's shambolic either way.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

One way or another looking likely to be playing those fuckers from down the road next season

[ibizasaint]

this is a joke think about being a real madrid fan

At least he can say he has learnt from the 5-0 drubbing then. Improvement and all that

[Lone ranger]

That Leicester no 5 looks reasonably competent. Pity we don’t have anyone of his calibre. 

[Patches O Houlihan]

The we”ve 9 outfield ballerinas right now - Shea Charles is the closest thing we have to a proper hod carrier. 

Smallbone the most powder puff DM ever

Does anyone apart from Martin want it to stay at just 4 tho?

Say it was 7, imagine the pressure upon his shoulders, we’ve lost anyway, depends how many more games of needing to score 5 to win a game that we want to watch.

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

I pressed the red button and watched a proper game of footie as bayern drew 2-2 with Leverkusen. The football was intense. Turned back to Sky's coverage of Saints...drab, untidy, amateurish and fucking 4-1 down and home! 

MARTIN AND HIS KNOBHEAD HAIRCUT OUT!

This is it. We are a team of mainly weaklings. Where are our power houses?

This is the club that kept a manager that lost 9-0 twice. 

[saintant]

Should have been 6 or 7.

[Saint Billy]

I thought it would be impossible for saints to sink to new lows but they keep coming fast and furious.

[obelisk]

How Leicester haven't got 9 tonight I have no idea. Some of their finishing is sloppy.

[AlexLaw76]

Jesus, another 1-on-1 for Leicester. Over the bar

[Sheaf Saint]

Ienacho should have made it 5.

[Saint_clark]

Smallbone gives the ball away again. Needs dropping.

[Crab Lungs]

This is on Martin. 100%. Inflexible, suicidal tactics. 

Manning is pointless. Never actually where he should be. Playing Downes and Smallbone is such a weak partnership, this is where the Belfast wardrobe should be.

2 week break and we get served up this crock of shit. Leicester weren’t even that good, just clinical after being gifted most of their opportunities.

We won’t get up playing this way, we don’t have time to be a ‘work in progress’. 

Pathetic, small minded club with a losers mentality. 

[Saintsfan79]

Should be about 1-7. Fucking joke.

[OttawaSaint]

Glad I missed this one. Was it the usual shambolic defending and a keeper who could catch a cold?

Swansea fans warned us. 

WTF were the club thinking getting in RM with a team with no defensive confidence at all playing this suicidal system?

 

What a joke!

[The Kraken]

Fuck me, Ian Nacho has got to score there. Put your head over it Ian!

[Mixedkebab]

Everything about the last 2 performances have Sport Republic all over it, trying to be far too clever and hip, no solid shithouse canny players that you need in this league with a suicidally stubborn manager at the helm 

[Saint NL]

Can Lyanco be recalled? 🤣

Stuart Armstrong has been on the pitch 5ins and nearly cost us twice.

[Southner]

What an absolute joke we are at the back. 

[IronCitySaint]

Our tremendous home form continues for another season, then. Being a Saints fan is just so much fun. And the perfect ending with a red card! 

[obelisk]

Now down to 10. No Sully for 3 games. What a mess.

[Suhari]

Sully straight red.

[saintant]

You couldn't make this up. Red for Sully.

[Saint NL]

Sulemana red card.

 

Amazing 🤣
