Arsenal 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[SWLondon Saint]

Sorry, but that VAR is complete bollocks. The player in the centre is clearly involved in play.

So....TP is coming on.

I like it.

Ah I knew Martin would do this. Give him a few minutes against Arsenal and probably again against City and when he can't turn the game around for us, write him off again.

[HarvSFC]

The player who was offside went to play the ball?

[obelisk]

Tall Paul with a nice lay off and then run into space. Pass goes backwards instead.

[DT]

Sorry, but their goal looked offside to me. But arsenal. Etc

Yeah but he plays for Arsenal so it doesn't count.

[Suhari]

TP with a couple of nice touches straight off.

And it clearly affected Ramsdale. 
 

We’d lose anyway but that’s a terrible decision.

Don't have to, he conceded worse than that.

Expand  

Indeed he has. He's also conceded goals that literally no keeper on Earth could have stopped and been blamed for them.

Ok. He's still shit though.

[stknowle]

I’m at the stage where bad results, decisions, and luck are all so inevitable that I can’t be bothered to get annoyed about it anymore.

Crossbar!

I've never disputed that, contrary to popular belief.

Yeah my stream just caught up 😂

[Suhari]

We're looking a much better attacking unit now.

[davefizzy14]

We are controlling this now 

[obelisk]

Tall Paul making a nuisance of himself.

[Saint Matty 76]

Onuachu has shown enough to get the start against Leicester for me

Shame he wasn't in the right position for the Sugawara cross however

[Saint_clark]

Brilliant from Tall Paul.

[macca155]

Onauchu looking bang up for it and some nice touches

Dibling is terrorising them but his defensive work is just as good.

Yep.

He's already looked a better lone CF than anyone else.

Some good hold ups.

[Disco Stu]

Onauchu should have been way ahead of Stewart in the pecking order.

[Disco Stu]

At least it won't be decided by a dodgy VAR decision.

[saintant]

Why hasn't Tall Paul started games? Questions need to be asked of RM.

[obelisk]

Sometimes you just have to put your foot through it in defence. 3-1

[RedArmy]

What the fuck was that 

[LGTL]

That’s that then. Martin out hopefully. 

[Suhari]

Ah well.

[SWLondon Saint]

It's ridiculous how much better we look with a proper centre forward on and pace on the flanks. Just makes TPs long exile before this seem all the more ridiculous.

[Mr X]

Game over 

[Killers Knee]

Sugawara was naive there, gifted Saka the ball

[Saint_clark]

Oh my god...

No way will it be that, they will see many positives! 

[Saint Fan CaM]

And there it is - not enough goals and disarray in defence. Suga’s not been great this half.

[SWLondon Saint]

Just put your foot through it 😑😑😑😑

Is it just me ? But onuachu looks exactly what we have been missing?  Ball kinda sticks with him .. and shown a nice few touches .. makes you wonder why he’s been out of the picture so much 

[macca155]

Harwood Bellis losing the ball again.

Swallow your pride Russell and play ABK

[Topcat]

Sugawara gave two goals away.  Not marking the 2nd and passing away the 3rd.

Edited 5 October, 2024 by Topcat

[swingworkstheoracle]

Paul would have scored 40 goals in the championship 

[LGTL]

That from Sugawara is the result of constant fucking brainwashing from Martin. When your first thought in that position is not to fucking lump it, we’d might as well all just give up. 

[Jimmy_D]

Damn.

Gave it a bloody good go today.
