Everton 1-1 (5-6p) Saints - Match Thread

[saintant]

Another set piece goal. Mind you - if you have a team full of midgets.

[Lighthouse]

A complete flap at that cross and two free headers. Dreadful.

That fucking defending good grief 😂

What defending?

[Micky]

Lost 3 headers in and around our own 6 yard box.  Woeful. 

[CB Fry]

Our "innovative" brave unique football nearly let them in again, immediately after the goal.

 

 

[imadirtyurchin]

Genius football from saints.

Yes, but how’s the possession figure going?

[SNSUN]

Let them go 2 up and we'll do a Villa...

...says no Saints fan ever.

[Sheaf Saint]

Well technically that was a shot on target.

Woo!

[macca155]

On top of everything else Saints are giving their closest relegation rivals, a morale boosting win.

No, we must give them another. 2-0 is their kryptonite.

Plenty of good old propaganda football.

76.5 %

No shots in target.

1 nil down. 

Propaganda football, done badly. 

[Southner]

Just settled down, and see we're bravely losing 1-0. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Why do we not have a single player in our squad who is capable of getting a header on target?

[obelisk]

Dreadful header from Aribo.

Everton break and miss a sitter basically.

[SNSUN]

I'm giving it 5 more minutes before I let the wife watch Eastenders. Come on Saints ffs

[Micky]

Should be 2, cut through us easily

[Lord Duckhunter]

Tall Paul would have buried that 

[Suhari]

Should be 2 down.

FFS we are terrible.

If only we had a player that was known to be tall.

[Mr X]

Martin can fucking do one if we don't get a result in the next two games! 

[The Kraken]

Look at those posession stats though 😎

[Holmes_and_Watson]

We've responded with a couple of patient build ups, but with headers not paying off.

They just catch us, run straight up the park and it's stopped by Alex.

[saintant]

Everton get the ball and move it with purpose - we don't.

[SNSUN]

AA booked

[obelisk]

Put the ball in the bloody box FFS!

Yep. I can't fathom why TP isn't being integrated. Even if just off the bench he gives us a decent option. 3 forwards with a combined height of about 16 feet ain't ideal. 

[WGC Saint]

Well that’s that then. I’ve got more chance of winning the lottery this weekend than we have of scoring so that’s the end of our cup run for now. And we’ll gift Ipswich their first three points this weekend in true Saints fashion. Horrid.

[Harry_SFC]

Surely it's just a matter of time before Martin gets the sack? We aren't improving - we are just getting worse.

[SNSUN]

New manager comes in: "So the idea is to keep the ball out of our net and put the ball in theirs."

Saints players: "Ah thats what we've been doing wrong!" 🤪

Theirs or ours?

[imadirtyurchin]

It’s just so boring and toothless. We don’t look like we even want to score let alone look likely. Another nil incoming. Unless we can actually have some shots…

They'll zone out after "keep the ball".

All average or better football teams can. We can't. 

[6ft8saint]

We just don't offer a goal scoring threat nothing really within 18yrd box

[SNSUN]

Fuck me Everton nearly in again but offside.

Cornet looks quick though.

Need to send that to Martin possession doesn't equal goal scoring chances! 

[gammon cheeks]

Lots of possession that is boring as fuck

No point with Armstrong as our number 9. No idea what the plan is beyond "keep the ball".

That has to be a yellow, surely?

Goal THB!

That's a terrible late tackle. How is that not a yellow card?

Get in...

Should have been, was so late.

So Jack's was a red but this won't be?

[SNSUN]

Captain fantastic

[saintant]

THB free header - good lad.
