Liverpool 3-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Oldandtired]

Once again... oh for a striker to put the chances away.

Keane and Wright correctly highlighting our poor decision making (or lack of) in the final 3rd

[Colinjb]

Keane and Wright absolutely bang on with how poor our decision making is in the final third, saw this all game v Millwall, we are so thick with the final ball and in picking out attacking runs.

Feels so dirty agreeing with Roy Keane.

Refreshing to see Roy Keane slate saints decision making. Makes a change from hearing Dean Hammond's "everything is awesome" routine.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

When the tater asked McCoist what he'd rather do other than a 16k run in the morning, I thought he was going to say "be left alone to go home after the lock in" He sounds rough tonight.

For fucks sake someone make sulemana change his boots, the last few games he's slipped far too many times.

Some poor decision making up front, thought charles has been playing very well recieving the ball.

Yep noticed a few players slipping off the ball too and at set pieces, probably scousers sub standard pitch! 

[Elmore Saint]

Would prefer Deano to the wankfest that is ESPN. Fucking painful to listen to them all banging on about Liverpool..

Some good play, terrible finishing....unlucky goal (but inevitible)

Charles is terrible BTW

Expand  

Not sure why you have picked on Charles. Thought he has been decent to be honest.

Agreed. No change there for regular Saints viewers.

[skintsaint]

Thats us done, we don't do comebacks in games that matter too often.

You might say they’ve been keen but not quite right.

He always sounds like the drunk at the end of the bar, but at least he has some character unlike other cardboard commentators 

[Mr X]

That not passing from mara was unforgivable! 

[Saint Matty 76]

Looks like van Dijk coming off for Konate, so they're even a little bit further weaker

Hope we make some changes soon enough because we really need to capitalise quickly

[obelisk]

Keane and Wright identifying Saints huge problems in the final third shouldn't come as a surprise to Saints fans.

I did see him bottle a chance, when up against Rangers though. As unforgivable as it is unconnected to his commentary 🙂

yeah bringing on the 36mil defender 🤣 but yeah know what you mean 👍

[East Kent Saint]

Taters say they enjoy Saints passing style but it must make Saints fans nervous 😄 Esp in our own penalty area I would add .

Maybe one year we will buy one. Pretty but ultimately ineffectual football without.

Leeds draw 2-2 itch Chelski.

As an aside - what is the best stats site for us and our players for the season, am trying to see something

 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

COYR!

But they also said how well we played. Don't always need to focus on the negatives.

[RobJones1971]

I also too think Charles has been very poor, giving the ball away far too easily. I think Lumley, Stephens, Bree and Aribo have been the best players trying to play the way RM wants us to plays. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Couldn't get the ball out, as no options.

[obelisk]

Another dreadful miss by Saints

[fergustabby]

FFS

 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Another massive miss by Sully.

Fuck that was a 24 carat chance there! 

[CB Fry]

Brooks would have scored that.

I did like how Sulemana was always very wide left, it really meant there was a lot of space.

Granted he has no end product, but eventually one has to come off.

Expand  

No left foot… 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Oh for... How did we not put that in?!

[stknowle]

FFS we have to be scoring that.

[Farmer Saint]

OMFG

[Saint NL]

Sulemana again, he has to score eventually

I thought Charles has been half decent tonight

 

[Farmer Saint]

What are our expected goals tonight? 

[Whitey Grandad]

If we can just get a draw and a replay then maybe Brooks could get a game 😋

I don’t expect any.

Christ our finishing is absolutely appalling. Such a shame Fraser is crocked. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Edozie has been told to be more direct.

Bedders just needed a lighter touch with that pass to him.

[Mr X]

Our frantic passing around at the back in front of our own goal is suicide 

[trousers]

Dodged a bullet not signing this Gakpo fella...

[adrian lord]

Gakpo taking a leaf out of our strikers books
 

[John Boy Saint]

We’ve got to stop this effing about at the back - That’s been the main content of the Liverpool half time team talk

[Saint NL]

Edozie is weak like a kitten

[Turkish]

Rothwell been better tonight 

how are we losing this

You can't deny Charles gives the ball away but out of possession he is so much better than Smallbone.
