Saints 0-3 Man Utd - Match Thread

[Saint NL]

If we can't score against a 98 year old Johnnie Evens then we have no chance for the rest of the season

From the comments, it sounds as though we were doing okay up until that.

Yep. We looked good.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nice move from Bedders, but couldnb;t get it past their defender.

[AlexLaw76]

good 30 mins, then meh to shit.

Unless 3 teams get big points deductions; relegation beckons.

Of course we're not staying up! I knew we weren't staying up when the final whistle went in the playoff final. 

We've got to be realistic. We barely scraped over the line last season and often looked vulnerable to every attack. Partially due to Bazunu. To come into the Premier League and survive was always going to be a big ask.

We've made some decent signings and have improved the team. But defensive issues remain and despite getting two new strikers, neither look like what we need. Both have been in relegated teams.

[BotleySaint]

Well, that'll get Stephens out of the game for a while

Sent off.

Get in! Three games without Stephens!

[SNSUN]

I think we will grow into the season. Lose a few, draw a few then win on the last day. 😊

[obelisk]

Stephens sent off so that's a bonus I suppose.

[Suhari]

JS straight red.

[adrian lord]

I fear that the best we can hope for in the next few years is yo-yo club status. The new Norwich. 

[Edmonton Saint]

Send him off

[LGTL]

Stephens sent off thank god. Could be an absolute blessing. 

[OttawaSaint]

Bye Jack! Horror tackle. Pillock.

Since the penalty was missed the air has completely come out of our tyres.

[AlexLaw76]

Stephens sent off. 

Maybe the turning point of the season?

[RedArmy]

YESSSSSSSSSSS!! 
 

 

[BotleySaint]

Awful challenge. Out of control.

[FarehamSaintJames]

100% a red card for Jack Stephens.

Dickhead.

[Saint NL]

That's a very soft red

[Saint Billy]

There is a god.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Yellow for Stephens...oh,, red!

 

[HKsaint]

How many games will Stephens miss? 

[Colinjb]

What a liability Stephens is. Sorry but, I was right. THB should have started ahead of him...... 

[washsaint]

Well, at least that is Stephens out for the next 3 games......

[Sheaf Saint]

Well, at least we won't have to see Stephens playing for the next 3 games.

[RedArmy]

34 hopefully 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

yeah, it looks worse. He was well beaten and it was a poor challenge.

 

Looks up thread to check for cheers over suspension... 🙂 

[SNSUN]

Never has a sending off United the fan base quite as much…

I don’t mind Stephens, he’s an honest pro but we have better CBs. Hopefully like with his injury last season we could see an improvement defensively.

[OttawaSaint]

Captain Jack, directly fault for 5/7 goals and a straight red. Great choice Russy boy, you useless beardy cunt!

[obelisk]

Any optimism from the first 30 minutes has completely evaporated.

3 but we've heard that Martin is still gonna pick him

[coalman]

Has Garnacho stopped rolling yet?

[washsaint]

Nope, ABK should be starting before both of them

[badgerx16]

Well Russ now has a big selection headache with captain Jack suspended.

Just getting silly now......

Russell Martin getting booked sticking up for his boyfriend

Calm down, love

[SaintsBarry74]

Thankfully this red card came in late so surely a 0-9 is off the table? 

[Saint_clark]

Martin will put him in blackface and call him Bella Kotchap.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Martin booked too.

Down to 10, so that should mean we're harder to play against. Well, it works that way when it's our opponents that go down to 10.

Won't he be cup-tied?

[OttawaSaint]

Yellow for Baldrick for whining that his boyfriend got a red card. 

"But he's the first on my teamsheet, we mould the tactics around him...what am I going to do now?!?!".

[AlexLaw76]

How Stephens starts every game is a fucking joke.

Now, he will hopefully have 3 games off.....

[Saint Fan CaM]

Utd are not that much but we are devoid of ideas. Thats the Managers fault as is playing fucking Jack Stephens.

[coalman]

Looking at the positives from this. No Stephens for three games AND Ten Hag gets to say Man United have turned a corner to get another 5 games in charge.

[BotleySaint]

Everton, Ipswich and Bournemouth next on the league. We've got to be looking at minimum 6 points from that lot.

First we must learn to score tho.

our last shot on goal was the rebound from the penalty...an hour ago, nearly
