Saints 1-4 Leicester - Match Thread

[Disco Stu]

This team simply can't defend.

[Saint_clark]

The booing is deserved.

[saintant]

Shambles. Bazunu with a short stupid pass and we are not set up for it in any shape or form. Suicidal. Got away with one there. This is awful/

[AlexLaw76]

This is hilarious and on the manager....

[Holmes_and_Watson]

And nearly a second. Our defence went off to clown school over the break.

[FarehamSaintJames]

Clarky in the Bazunu chat is gonna erupt!

[Greenridge]

Comedy gold. 

[Micky]

Manning sold so easily....

Done nothing wrong yet. But another game without a clean sheet. Eventually it stops being a coincidence.

[Suhari]

Fuck me.

Are we trying to lose?

[M271]

Stop giving the ball away

[Sunglasses Ron]

I fucking hate this club sometimes, a total embarrassment.

[Saint NL]

Which performance is worse?

 

Saints or this forum? 🤣

[SNSUN]

I only turned on after two minutes ffs

It can't, and that's all on matey silly hair.

[The Kraken]

The forum performing brilliant as usual on match time. Stick another 50p in the meter Ffs.

Saints learning no lessons, had a corner cleared and Smallbone last one back almost let them have a 1 v 1. We are just so fucking easy to play through.

[Galway saint]

without stating the obvious we look shambolic in defence 

[Saint NL]

Che Adams looks up for it tonight if nothing else

[Saint_clark]

We play it short from the goal kick only to pass it back to Bazunu and boot it long

 What's the fucking point in inviting that pressure in the first place????

[qwertyell]

Is that three games out of three where Downes' limp clearance has been our last touch before a goal conceded?

Definitely against QPR. I've blocked the Sunderland goals from my memory.

[sambosa75]

Seriously though, we are an absolute shambles defensively.

Of course it does.  Whether he’s “at fault” or not becomes (and is) irrelevant.  Teams know he’s got a poor saves to shots ratio which encourages more pot shots.

[Raging Bull]

Manning is not a good player! 
 

You can’t blame the manager for the players not seeing the blue shirt in front of them when they’re passing the ball either. 

[obelisk]

Saints completely exposed from losing the ball at a corner again.

[CB Fry]

Decent from Adams. But however many we score, Leicester will score twice that.

[sfc4prem]

Good start eh chaps? 😉 

I mean, if you don't laugh you'll fucking cry. Some piss poor choices.

[Baird of the land]

My fear with international break was it would dilute any reaction to the pathetic Sunderland performance. Saints just carrying on their stupidity.

[AlexLaw76]

Manji, Thoughts?

[Saint_clark]

Under pressure from our own corner again. Leave someone on the halfway line ffs

[obelisk]

Still no yellow.

[The Kraken]

Jesus, another corner another clearance and Smallbone chasing it back with two attackers up his chuff. Clearly a managerial tactic, it’s fucking dopey.

Apart from giving a ridiculous short pass in his own area when we clearly had nowhere to go!

Greatest era in our history 

[SNSUN]

Jesus guys no cohesion

[saintant]

Embarrassing free kick. This is beyond a joke.

[Jack]

Absolute fucking shambles 

[Winnersaint]

I could watch this on Sky but quite frankly I can’t be arsed

Attacking freekicks as well it seems

[Suhari]

Fuck was that?!

[Saint_clark]

How the fuck was that not a yellow.

[RedArmy]

What the fuck have I just witnessed from that free kick? 

[Sheaf Saint]

That free kick 😳

That's a very kind appraisal, he looks awful to me.

This is not a team finishing top two.

[Saint_clark]

What the fuck is this 😂 

[obelisk]

Corner to Saints. Danger!

not even top 6...most expensive team to miss out on the playoffs

[Farmer Saint]

This club is pretty broken. Even clearing the decks can't change it. 

[sydney_saint]

I have no idea if Perraud was ever interested in staying. But he is a much better player than Manning. We have definitely downgraded there.
