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

A good manager would have us out of the bottom 3.

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

Walker Peters pass the fucking ball you twat!

[Convict Colony]

honestly this is turning into a sick joke, even my every optimistic outlook about our team is taking a battering.

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. 

Expand  

Then in the winnable games we’ll play 2 attack minded players and try to walk it in via a 45 pass sequence 

[Harry_SFC]

Leicester sack Cooper and they've got 6 points more than us.

My statement was correct, regardless that  I wrote it before it was scored. 😎

[obelisk]

2-3 and Saints pass it around the back. Give it away. Liverpool corner. That there is Russball and it's dumb.

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

Expand  

Wonder if Slot will learn a lot from our philosophy too and lose the next 6

[Saint_clark]

Fuck off Stephens.

Agree with all of that. Their first comes from the managers instructions, kick the fucker upfield past the press, not straight into it. Second is an individual error but if you come for it, clear the opponent and the ball into row Z, and the third is default sitting deep albeit a suspect decision.

Archer really is beyond useless

[OttawaSaint]

The old Saints addege, "if you want a great win...just forget it".

[Mr X]

There is a better team in us than Russball that's for sure we should have made the decision to ditch him so much earlier now it's too late for anyone to save us! 

[cloggy saint]

According to BBC Salah was booked for taking his shirt off after scoring and has just been booked again for a foul ....?

 

[Saint Billy]

Looks like saints are playing for a one goal loss.

Put the free kick in the box for a change Saints.

Has shown some promising signs but needs a manager who understands the need to play off the shoulder. Funeral build up doesn’t suit him. He’d have thrived earlier in the second half when the players chucked Russball in the bin where it belongs and mived it much faster, troubling this league’s best.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Capt’n Jack getting in the way of THB - a player that can actually head a ball into goal.

[Saint_clark]

Stop pulling grass up it's a professional football pitch not the local marsh you prick.

[OttawaSaint]

Ball into the box there! Luxury!

[Mr X]

They should just put us out of misery and confirm championship football!

Its the needless fucking around at the back that has cost us ..simple as that really

I guess a brave defeat will yet again save Martin's job.

Surprised there wasn’t a VAR check for their second goal too

Lets see this season we have had brave defeats, unlucky defeats, poor defeats, embarrassing defeats, naive defeats, predictable defeats. Have I missed any out? 

[AlexLaw76]

We can be a better team without russ-ball

constant idiocy from us!!!

[Mr X]

Steve cooper sacked 

[LGTL]

Another 0 points from our oh so brave team and oh so brave manager. They’re suited to each other. 

[OttawaSaint]

A well drilled side would have beaten Liverpool today.

How can he defend our possession is less than 40%

[do i not like fizzy pop]

According to text updates Salah was booked for taking his shirt off after the goal and booked again for a foul ten minutes later. All the booking icons have disappeared from Sky and BBC. Cheating c@nts 

 

Still doesn't detract from us being terrible 

[Galway saint]

Thought we were competitive, but still conceded 3 and another defeat. 

We will concede far too many and that’s always typified RM teams so not sure what the club is looking to achieve by persevering 

 

[coalman]

Liverpool had 27 shots.

And don't forget having fun!

Russell will take 2 things from that - he'll view it as a moral victory but he'll be furious at our lack of possession.

[stknowle]

So 1 goal given away from pissing around with it at the back and 2 from rank bad individual errors. 1 because of our shit manager, the other 2 because of our inadequate players. We are simply unviable as a team in this league.

Expect disappointment and you’ll never be disappointed.

Handed Liverpool all 3 goals, absolute farce. 

[saintant]

I enjoyed much of our performance and it makes me want Martin gone even more because we are a far better side than his tactics and decisions are making us look. We have completely wasted a reasonably easy start to the season while this charlatan continues his vanity project which continues to show no sign of working and largely contributed to another defeat today.
