Don’t think he is fully fit or not training properly. Seen him play for Blackburn and Sheff Utd. Granted, he isn’t Mane but has a change of pace and strong. Only mid-20s but Mark Hughes in his late 30s was quicker this season. Another sign of serious issues at the club.

Nope. He’s just absolutely shite

Looked alright in a dire Blades team last year though. Funny that when you a sign a player and play to their strengths….

[benali-shorts]

Got to get Dibling off

If he’s like this used where he was effective for the Blades under the new manager I’ll be in agreement. 

[Saint_clark]

Biggest influence Martin has had on us is completely confusing Dibling who was doing brilliantly off pure instinct up till now.

He can’t do the basics, he is a fucking carthorse

[Saint NL]

Dibling is well off the pace now, he looks like he needs a rest

[Saint_clark]

Where the fuck was Stewart!? 

[BotleySaint]

Ignoring their chances.. We could easily have got that second goal this half.

Makes whatever Martin tried to do first half even more bizzare.

BBD so poor

Yep knowing Russ he’ll come off for a defender to shore up a 3-1 loss.

"We won the second half. If we can replicate that performance across a whole game, we win the game, simple as that". 

[obelisk]

I'd just like to see Saints attacking with a bit more pace. Certainly better this half but still hard to see where goals are coming from.

[pingpong]

Fantastic reactions and ball across the goal from BBD - shame noone there to poke it in.

[Saint_clark]

Onuachu got more goals than Stewart, Archer and BBD combined last season and stays on the bench.

[Saint NL]

Archer on, no idea what formation it is now.

BBD Left, Stewart Central and Archer on the Right?

[benali-shorts]

This is the worst of all worlds, a drubbing but with an improved second half display that might save him,

[Baird of the land]

So is onachu only on the bench to cover the scenario where Stewart gets injured warming up

[bangkoksaint]

I can see the presser now…..’that was on me but it’s a tough league and we’re continuing to learn but we won the second half and that has to be a positive’…….blah blah blah

[Saint_clark]

Don't think Stewart has completed a single pass to a Saints player so far.

[benali-shorts]

In what scenario would Tall Paul have come on (and therefore why have him on the bench?)

Just to write that message then left. I've only come.back on to check the score. Watching SAS thing. Feel a lot happier

So does AA, what’s your point?

[BotleySaint]

We've now reverted to passing it around at the back.

If we were winning 3-0 to put him in the shop window? 😂

[Saint Fan CaM]

Can see this being 4-1.

[Sir Ralph]

Back to passing it around in our 18 yard box. Superb again. Playing it forward latest 15 mins we scored a goal and reverted to type. Get rid

Arsenal next and Arteta is not a manager to ease off at 5-0 on 65 minutes.

1 nil down, 90th minute with 4 mins to play and we have a corner.

His touch is awful, isn't it? Probably only worsened by BBD.

Ref still refusing to give Saints any free kicks then.

Bring on Tall Paul, and we have a hattrick of poor first touch up front

This could be aimed at literally anyone on here or in the team.

BBD has to be one of the worst signings we’ve made in recent times.

[Sheaf Saint]

Jesus, that was embarrassing from BBD.

No surprise we're not getting anywhere.

But but but... we have standing, fanzones, and pens... We're awesome now?!?! 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Lallana turns his player…passes it to Downes who goes backwards to Bednarek who in turn passes it…backwards.

[kevdoh]

We should have brought on tp immediately after getting that goal early second half. Give them something different to think about but instead back to the same old shit. Would have been better getting hammered by 5 or 6 and giving owners no choice but to sack Martin. He's fucking useless

[whelk]

Michael Oliver looks like the most boring bastard on the planet

BBD - god sake
