Arsenal 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Saint_clark]

There was about 3 penalties in there it seemed.

[obelisk]

Saints defending is desperate

Fair enough he was over there to begin with.

He hasn’t been anywhere near there. His name was mentioned as he got on the ball and then the commentator was talking about Partey being at right back if that’s where the confusion came from. 
 

[Bad Wolf]

Delap scores again

[LGTL]

😂 fuck me we’re a shambles

Ahh fair enough I thought he said Manning had lined up at right back. My bad! #fakenews

[Suhari]

A team in red and white, moving the ball quickly and with purpose.

It'll never catch on......

[The Kraken]

I see that rubbish Liam Delap has scored again, glad we didn’t sign him.

[East Kent Saint]

1-1 Delap !

[obelisk]

Forget this idiocy of giving the ball away in our own half. It's not working.

[Saint_clark]

Surely a penalty there. We ain't that lucky.

Nevermind, diving prick. Should have booked sterling.

[Bad Wolf]

Ramsdale's kicking is appalling. It's actually worse than Forster's which I never thought possible.

[BotleySaint]

Good to see Russel has instilled some mental resilience in the team.

Same panic stations as the last game. But to be honest, it's expected with so many out of their depth.

[northam soul]

Streams ?

[East Kent Saint]

1-1 Delap already !

He fell over...

Suicidal football

Russell Martin just will not learn.

Absolutely ridiculous to persevere with playing like this. I just hope it loses him his job early enough for us to have a go this season  

[macca155]

So basically we are playing 2 FBs against Saka. Fair enough I guess

[Saint_clark]

Have we passed it out of our half yet? Barely got it out of our own third.

[Mr X]

One way traffic so far 

[SouSaint]

This is going to be whatever scoreline Arsenal want it to be. 

[6ft8saint]

Still playing suicidal football I see

[RedArmy]

Don’t think we’ll be winning the possession trophy today. 

[SNSUN]

Got to 12 minutes at nil. Only another 7/8ths of the game to hold on.

[Mr X]

I'm surprised we've lasted 12 minutes to be fair

You got to wonder really...if we're not playing this style of football to dominate possession then what exactly are we playing it for.

[saint michael]

Martin says players buy into this style. What exactly do the players buy into?  Playing shit every week

This is more to do with wasted chances than anything. But sooner or later they'll start flying in.

[obelisk]

Surely just a matter of time before Arsenal score. Not even close on possession stats today.

Not many good ones. https://www.streameast.soccer/fixture/Arsenal-vs-Southampton

"Player 3" seems to be the best one. Hasn't cut out yet!

[Saint_clark]

Ramsdales being fouled for every corner so far and the ref isn't spotting it.

They buy into a ponzi scheme.

Total outplayed so far.... I guess not surprising with the tactics

thanks

[Jack]

Route 1 almost gets us in. More of that please 

[hypochondriac]

Our style of play is utterly retarded. 0% chance we can play 90 minutes like this with no goal threat and not concede multiple times when we get tired. Madness. 

[LGTL]

Russ is going to lose the battle of possession today. It really is all over.

One of our strikers might get a few if we actually created any chances, if we had signed Delap we would still be winless and garbage because the manager and his tactics are a bigger problem than the players!

[Mr X]

Doesn't look like if arsenal score but when 

[Saint_clark]

Dangerous break, here we go lads, now's the time - pass it back to the defence!

[BotleySaint]

We had a shot. Whoohoo!

[shurlock]

The one time we clear our decks and hit a long ball, a scrappy second ball almost breaks for us and puts us in space. Are you watching Russell?

Maybe he will finally be mad about a result, well probably sneak it 1-0 and he will be gutted that they had more of the ball than us.

[Nieldy]

Wait until all this possession football kicks in😅

[Suhari]

A shot!

Do we get a point for that?
