First shot on target... How inevitable was that...?

Apart from the save from Lumley 1 minute earlier?

Massive deflection. Would have been a routine save otherwise.

Huge deflection!

Joe Lumley made a save only two minutes earlier from a shot on target

*MLG mode off*

[Saint Fan CaM]

Unlucky deflection off Bednarek.

[LGTL]

Liverpool have been absolutely awful, so of course that was going to happen 😂

[Holmes_and_Watson]

We had our chances.

They had no problems putting together a decent move, and that early hit beats us.

Not out of it but need to start that second as we did the first. Hopefully they'll want a second, and give us some space.

[SNSUN]

Deflected. Not Lumley’s fault but it had to be the kid making his full debut didn’t it.

Still another half…

[Harry_SFC]

You can't go to Anfield and miss so many chances. Bloody annoying that.

[Lighthouse]

That’s what happens when you have a confident, first time, instinctive shot. You make your own luck, to an extent.

Yeah, that'll teach me to quote an ITV commentator!

[obelisk]

Yet again profligacy in front of goal let's us down.

First shot on target. Goal. FFS. And Anfield wakes up.

Second shot on target surely , massive deflection though gave Lumley no chance .

[AlexLaw76]

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

Charles is terrible BTW

[adrian lord]

What’s that nauseating dirge song that Liverpool sing these days?

[SNSUN]

Needed to take our chances. Still we have a chance. Been decent for the most part.

It’s over.

[Jimmy_D]

We go in 1-0 down but it’s certainly not down to the team or tactics selected.

Excellent performance not rewarded so far.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Fantastic possession stats. Everyone in World delighted that Scousers are ahead. What’s not to like?

[davefizzy14]

We are so unlucky to be one down in this. Hopefully we can get back into this in second half - COYR 😊

[Convict Colony]

Manning, bree and lumley do not look comfortable with the ball being played to them under pressure

[Saint Pete]

Good half from us, only let down by the finishing. Mara in particular should have had a couple.

[Farmer Saint]

I'm happy to go out tbh - let's have a good performance, go out, and then really go at the League. 

[Pamplemousse]

Irritating, time to put on the big guns.

The same ITV commentator who descried that as a sublime finish despite everyone seeing the deflection that took it in the opposite direction!

It is? Well, the record collection is mine! You can have the espresso maker. 🙂

[trousers]

Decent first half, albeit against their 3rd team, or whatever it is... (Yes, I know we're not playing our first choice team either)

A good performance with no goals highlights our lack of a clinical strike force, yet again.

[obelisk]

Started giving the ball away too easily as the half wore on and that gave Liverpool some belief. Probably end 4-0 now.

Bree and Lumley have been excellent, I thought, including playing the ball around. Manning and Rothwell have looked a bit suspect with the quick passing.

[redkeith]

Played really well. Could have been 1 or 2 up , but then you get scouse luck. 

Its sport is soon bad , not evening being able to keep record from the lumley save. 

Keep going Saints and show what you could do if you got promoted 

[The Cat]

Thought we were really good first half. Missed some good chances, they got a lucky deflection for the goal.

A few loose passes here and there but on the whole some really good play in the build up.

Fair play to the players on the pitch so far, they've all put in a great shift.

This, with knobs on

[saintant]

Bit unlucky to be one down to a deflected shot. We've put together some good moves but as often is the case let down by weak finishing. Probably be hard to get back into it now but at last we've put on a decent display.

[RedWillie]

Edozie frustrates the hell out of me

Manning doesn't look comfortable on a football pitch.

[Miltonaggro]

Cruel deflection for their wanky goal, but saints were better side first half and will know that. Manning (mind the gap), Charles and Sulemana clearly capable of the brain fart, but otherwise the boys look well up for it. Really like Lumley and Bree and stephens  has been a real skipper that half. 

[Whitey Grandad]

Bednarek turning his back as usual.

[Saint NL]

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.

Not helped by not having the confidence of people being there to pick up the ball, with no Downed or Smallbone. Liverpool are well drilled to shut down teams that play out without the system we've shown at our better games this season. This line up does take a chance, and they've done okay considering.

[Convict Colony]

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.
