Bit early for this poppy shite isn't it? There's a game next week which would make more sense

Maybe they think brave Saints will be lost valiantly in battle today?

Disclosure: I’m on an Etihad flight back to the UK from Abu Dhabi. Didn’t think I’d be watching the game, but for some reason they’re playing the match live on Sports24. Must be an omen for a win. Or something. 😬😜😳

I watched a live game on a similar flight a couple of years back.

A very strange, but very enjoyable experience.

[OttawaSaint]

Comm saying we've made 6 defensive mistakes that have led directly to a goal. In 8 games...good lord!

[Master Bates]

Have we won yet?

Smashing the possession

[obelisk]

Why not get a cross into the box when we get into a good position?

[OttawaSaint]

Still fannying around at back. Suicidal in Champ, fucking ludicrous at the Ethiad.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Once again Saints don’t press the ball and we concede. This is just going to be nightmare.

[Divergent]

Here we go 

[Mr X]

The floodgates will open 

[OttawaSaint]

Here we go. 

We fannied, had to kick it out. Throw in, City pass it, goal.

[Suhari]

Lol.

Inside 5 minutes.

Damn won’t work on my mobile 

[Edmonton Saint]

First real attack and we wilt.

[Mr X]

Basically Russ taught them nothing! 

[obelisk]

Cross into the box and guess what? A chance. City one up.

[Disco Stu]

How shit are we 😂

[SouSaint]

Shocking from Bednarek, Stephens and Ramsdale. This is going to be embarrassing. 

[BranfootsLoveChild]

And so it begins.....

You will find better entertainment there.

So much for we will have a game plan Russ, only lasted five minutes! 

[Saint NL]

Ramsdale was very poor for the goal, not for the first time I might add.

[CanadaSaint]

That came from us playing it back when we were in the offensive third.

[Sunglasses Ron]

9-0 watch 👀 

[Hatch]

Bednarek not even looking at the ball.

[OttawaSaint]

A goal akin to a naive tenth tier team facing a big team in the FA Cup...

Yep it’s not brave. I’d say with a back 5 including Manning, Stephens and Bednarek it’s gross negligence.

[Suhari]

Complete lack of pressure on the ball, and no effort to prevent a cross.

Again.

And as I type, the same from the other side. We are so passive and easy to play against.

[Bad Wolf]

Lol Bednarek...

[Mr X]

Haland literally had all the time in the world and a free shot😂

We’re utterly pathetic

Yep, a minute before we got in a great crossing position and decided to recycle it. No chance. Martin out 

[HKsaint]

Be brave!

[Colinjb]

It's fine, Russ has us primed to outplay City at their own game, in their own back yard with hopelessly inferior players.

Bloke's a genius.

[jemanson]

Don't cross when we get an opportunity... Check.

Fannying around with the ball in our own box...Check

Crap defending...Check

All going to plan

It was very effective in the Championship.

[Bad Wolf]

Stephens > Bednarek

[badgerx16]

This HAS to be his last game.

We can't go through the whole season playing this way. Can we ?

[saint lard]

Is it wrong to laugh. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[OttawaSaint]

City look hungry. We look fat.

And Dibling TBF, didn’t bust a gut to get close to the crosser
