Saints 2-3 Liverpool - Match Thread

[coalman]

You've got to wonder how Liverpool recover from today. Slot's honeymoon is over.

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

2 bloody balls ups by McCarthy...

It's corrupt as fuck. How was that a free kick to Liverpool. Armstrong fouled by keeper and defender and not even looked at by var. Fucking joke 

[stknowle]

Correct call on the subs imho.

[Gloucester Saint]

Pressure building up on Martin and his methods from fans, media and the positive moments today which have been contrary to his wishes. Their first goal however was very much on him and McCarthy. 

[Mr X]

Just the sort of encouraging performance that will keep Russ till the end of the season 😂

[Suhari]

Fuck me. Wander back to the hotel and suddenly it's 2-2.

Are we decent now?

Both our goals come from running forward at pace. Something we don't normally do. Almost as if that's the way forwards...

[Farmer Saint]

And another mistake.

 

Players are not good enough.

[obelisk]

Oh FFS! Soft penalty to them.

Dear god

I don’t know, today has shown that with the RM funeral shackles removed, these players can compete effectively. And the press have been very critical of the two goals conceded and spells wasted passed around the back, whilst praising the more proactive moment. The fans have been great today in supporting the players and barracking Russball.

One of them just gave away a pen.

That’s that then. Goodbye points again.

Liverpool gifted two goals (and penalty). Saints quick in transition to get two goals.  

[Turkish]

Gifted them all 3 goals ffs 

[adrian lord]

Another new dawn fades. 

[John Boy Saint]

Get that white witch back into cleanse the stadium

[sadoldgit]

Three goals gifted

[Saint_clark]

What happened to the rule around it not being a pen if it deflects straight off another body part then?

[saintant]

Typical. Still, we can take a lot of positives from this no thanks to Russell.

[obelisk]

There's no saving that. All 3 goals gifted to Liverpool.

[OttawaSaint]

You've got to laugh eh? 😆

And this is the issue. People can moan about the system all they like, and we do give the ball away in bad areas, but fuck me our players are accident prone. It's pathetic, and Bednarek, the walking mistake, isn't even playing.

That's only true unless it results in a penalty to Liverpool 

[Sir Ralph]

And that’s why we are going down.

Ah well. Was nice whilst it lasted. Same old same old.

Interesting the scoreline reads.

Southampton 2

Southampton for Liverpool 3

Expand  

They’ve been good enough most of the game but lack of fitness and reverting to the manager’s chosen methods invited Liverpool on. Not saying they’d have got 30 points plus but we’ll never know with a manager making Branfoot look like Alex Ferguson.

Liverpool

[Sheaf Saint]

I thought pens weren't given for handball if it deflected off another part of the body first? That's the reason why Matty Cash got away with literally handling the ball off the line at SMS a few years ago.

Or have they changed the rules again?

[obelisk]

Dibling trying to do it all by himself. Sometime make the pass.

We have a goalkeeping coach? Yellow for him. He should be keeping a low profile. 😆

Not sure but it looked like handball to me

[SambaMaverick]

No point even sacking Martin with the mental state and general spazziness of this squad

But the vegan prick hasn't helped

[coalman]

Time to sit back and play out the 3-2 defeat so Martin can bask in the plaudits from Slot.

[Saint Fan CaM]

This game has provided clear evidence at both ends of the pitch that Russball is completely wrong for Saints. It’s so blatantly obvious.

And the worst thing is apart from that we’ve been pretty good, fairly solid against a good attack and looks alright going forward. Dibbing been one of the best players on the pitch.
