It's been proven time and time again that you don't need to be a good player to be a good goalscorer at this level. 

Just as well then 😂

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Arma with a shot form exactly the same spot as Stu a minute or two back. If our passing allows them to set up their defence, and then we don;t bother trying to pass through it, but just shoot then it's not working.

Hull getting all the space in the world behind where fullbacks normally are.

30 secs later...exactly the same... cut back across this time gfor a corner.

same old, same old. frustrating.

[Block41 Saint]

This is abysmal football. 

[RedArmy]

Stream gone down?

unfortunately not 

[Saint Matty 76]

Wow. Great effort from Alcaraz and a brilliant save.

[Mr X]

Alcarez had to score that 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Smallbone with two attemtps to pass it forward. Immediately chose the safe backward option. FIne, if that's all that was on. But he was in a lot of space, didn;t think about moving into the space to draw anyone out. Just safe and back.

[Saint NL]

That's a nonsense with the ball position from corners. Just put the ball on the line ffs

[Holmes_and_Watson]

It was nearly...

little handshake between Alcaraz and their keeper.

Abysmal cricket.

[RedArmy]

Any danger of making a change ffs. 

[Saint NL]

Well in Bazunu

[Block41 Saint]

Cut open there but Bazunu done well. Bednarek and THB look so bad. 

[Mr X]

I can't see hull not scoring again 🤞

[Saint NL]

We're back to the kamikaze football from a few weeks ago.

No midfield and hull can break at ease. Why aren't we learning from mistakes we've already made?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nearly another for Hull. Again.

Meanwhile ...after another Hull attack. Baz looks up...doesn;t see anything...waits...waits... our 4 defenders move up...and then he lumps it long anyway. It was accurate, but allowed them to get back into positions so any chance we ahd form it came to nothing.

Mannings positioning is just awful. 

Twice there, he was in no man's land.

 

No Man's Land - Disputed ground between the frontlines or trenches of two opposing armies.

No Manning's Land - The space on a football field that Ryan Manning should be in, but is not in.

[Bad Wolf]

Edozie, Adams and Fraser on

AA, Stu and Alceraz off please

[Saint NL]

Adams coming on, double sub

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Corner... Alcaraz working hard.

Enjoying the quadrant based banter

[Block41 Saint]

Edozie and Che on. 

Sulemana and Alcaraz off. They were both poor today. 

[Saint NL]

Che and Edozie on.

Sulemana and alcarez off

[DT]

Che Adams means goals goals goals

Settling for the big point. #russtylee

[Mr X]

We spend far too much time tippy tapping around aimlessly waiting for a chance to happen Instead of creating chances by attacking aggressive football, herein lies the problem 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

We got the ball wide a couple of mins back. Most teams would have people get into the box as it was crying out for a cross. We have Arma in there, the least likely to win a header. I can only hope Stweart offers us something, anything from that sort of position. We offer no physical threat.

[Saint Matty 76]

Happy to see Edozie again. Fingers crossed for a big impact.

I wonder if we'll ever see all of our best attacking talent on the pitch at the same time.

[HKsaint]

We are too slow

Are you talking about the posters on here, or the team

I read that hash tag as Rusty Lee, the old TV presenter. She could probably do a job for us ...

I thought that should have been a yellow against Manning there. Mind you, the ref probably saw Manning about to make a direct run and Martin's finger on the explosive implant to stop it, and thought the Hull player was doing Manning a favour.

[SNSUN]

Come on Saints! 

[Mustang Saint]

If it's any consolation I'm in Portugal and now under my 2nd orange weather warning in 1 week. 100 kmh winds and risk of flooding AND having to put with this shit football😂😂😂

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Another blasting shot from outside the box. The same spot as at least two previous efforts. If that's the optimal shooting spot for Martin's passing/ possession game, then it's broken.

[Toussaint]

Russell looks very dapper today, so he’s definitely won the best dressed manager in todays key battle.

[Saint NL]

You'd think that Martin would have a word with Edozie.

Mint shorts and pink boots? 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Edozie blatantly pulled back - no card!

[Saint Matty 76]

We definitely look better with Che’s link up.

I heard they were investigating to see if his hair gives him an unfair advantage in winning those.

[sydney_saint]

You know the attack isn't working when you have Adam Armstrong aiming a cross at Edozie...

[Block41 Saint]

Fucking shite from Stu there. Should be 2-1 up. 

[Saint NL]

Even when we've been handled an absolute gift, we can't take advantage

His fashion sense is much better than his ability to coach a football team
