Liverpool 3-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Interesting. They push up to press, allowing a direct ball in to Show to get behind. More of that please.

Doesn't matter how fast you run when you're 2 yards offside 

[Wade Garrett]

First minute Shea Charles plays a forward pass on the half-turn.  Hope Smallbone was watching that.

[trousers]

Post!

[John Boy Saint]

Oooooo

[trousers]

Can anyone understand a word that Ally McCoist is saying?

[Saint NL]

So close

[SNSUN]

Mara should have hit tbe target there. Sulemana too perhaps.

[stknowle]

Doing well here. Could be 2 up.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Oooft. Post!

Sule again.

[Saint NL]

Mara has to score that one 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Mara now. Scuffed it. Good chance.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Massive chances especially for Mara.

[obelisk]

Saints well on top. Missed chances again though.

“It really is”

[Jimmy_D]

Blimey.

Hell of a start we’ve made here.

[Saint_clark]

Liverpool player goes down holding his stomach, ref stops the game??????

[LGTL]

Probably best chances we’ll get. Mara has to score there. 

[trousers]

Looking comfortable so far...

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Aribo a big plus as one of the most physical on the park. Should be good for us here.

But using a lot of gas, we won't be able to keep this pace for long.

He sounds like he's aged twenty years whilst drinking in a Glasgow pub.

[trousers]

Had to score there!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nice there from Aribo again. Mobile, and gets us back in control

[Patches O Houlihan]

We've started ok, and Ally McCoist will be the saving grace of this whole TV production. An even handed pundit worth listening too - such a rare beast!

[Saint NL]

We've missed so many chances already. 

That's three clear cut chances 

[LGTL]

Oh Mara, dear me

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Another cracking chance for Mara. Just needed more height to take it over the keeper. Keep it going, and the goal will come. For us, I mean.

[Turkish]

Why do they keep trying to make out it’s an honour for us to play at Anfield? Massive occasion for us etc? We’ve been going there for most of the last 50 seasons 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Anyone else notice how quiet Anfield is? 🤣

[Saint_clark]

Our attempted balls over the top keep dropping at the feet of their centre backs, do we need to get on the leg machines in the gym?

Need to take those. They'll probably punish us. Both Mara's were scoreable and Sulemana's was a decent chance too. We've looked ok so far though so credit.

[skintsaint]

Look forward to Liverpool scoring their first chance after these fluffed efforts of ours.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Oh. Edozie had space and time. Needed a better cross. After such a good build up, I thought it was going to be.

[Saint NL]

I love how the ITV commentary team are surprised at how we play, they obviously didn't bother to research Saints and expected Liverpool to smash us 😂

They're not surprised - they keep saying that.

Sorry  ITV 4 ! It was on bbc web page as well.

[obelisk]

Saints being profligate with good chances. That at least is something we're consistent with.

That’s a sighter for Gomez to break his duck tonight

I think most people on planet Earth expect Liverpool to smash us.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Go go Gomez. Hopefully, all their shots will be that accurate.

[trousers]

We'll no doubt come unstuck at some point but love how we're taking the piss at the back at the moment

How is that not a booking?

[Mr X]

Already 100% better than against Millwall 

[Saint Matty 76]

How the fuck are we not winning

[trousers]

Decent chance from Rothwell

[Holmes_and_Watson]

After our strong start, our energy has dropped a little. They are getting more possession. We are playing those deep deliveries into Sule as a definite way to get past them. NathanBall!

[obelisk]

Could be out of sight by now

They probably will smash us to be fair but at least there's more effort tonight
