Went down incredibly easily

[obelisk]

Good run with the ball from Downes but I could hear Russell telling him to stop and pass back from here.

[OttawaSaint]

It was a push but a pathetic dive by ArmA.

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

Bursting run by Downes, finished by a great backwards pass to the linesman who was unmarked.

[Saint_clark]

Onuachu is superb, I don't care what anyone says.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Tall Paul actually looks like a good player - who knew?!?

Why did he put his hand on Arma's back? It's a deliberate push, plain and simple.

There was a few of us...

[adrian lord]

Listening on BBC 5 live, it sounds like we are doing decently?

he just put his hand on his back....hardly a push and not even a foul

Anyone, done now

[Saint_clark]

Some good play going on but it falls apart when it gets to the usual suspects. 

[obelisk]

Put the free kick in the box FFS.

[Jack]

Wee man is shit, who’d have known

Behave, there was nothing decent in front of him, although quite who he thought he was actually passing to I’ve no idea.

Were looking alright here so far.

[SNSUN]

I turned it on and thought I’d give it ten minutes. We’ve looked decent tbf, Saints have earned another ten mins.

[Saint_clark]

We're actually complaining about a Liverpool player being within 10 yards of a freekick because we can't pass it short.

The current Saganowski. Play well on loan, get the permanent move, forget how to play football.

[hypochondriac]

Tall paul fast becoming my favourite player. 

[obelisk]

Tall Paul getting stuck in.

[AlexLaw76]

Liking the big lad...

He went down ridiculously easy. He was in a great position too.

Yep first reaction was foul but when you saw the reply he went down soon as he felt an arm on his back, not a pen. 

[obelisk]

What's the problem with putting free kicks into the Liverpool penalty area?

[Saint_clark]

Saints women 1 up against Pompey.

[Mr X]

To be fair We don't look too bad so far still don't like scoring though! 

[Sheaf Saint]

What the fuck was that free kick?

[Turkish]

We’ve start well, yes. 

[GDog07]

Tall Paul got some fight and presence, causing issues, exactly what we’ve missed.

[OttawaSaint]

I'd love to know what the players think of RM's training, philosophy, team sheets, and subs.

They've probably tuned him out but have a laugh at a lot of his bullshit.

[Saint_clark]

I have to admit that when Manning first came into the team I thought oh god but he actually did quite well. So strange then that he drops him for Fraser in this formation. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Great stop by Macca

[Mr X]

Frasier bad so far 

[obelisk]

We're still dicking around with it far too much inside our own half.

[RedArmy]

Fraser is so shit 

[AlexLaw76]

Good start is done...now cant get out

Always been a great shot stopper. His weakness is one on ones.

The net thingy is there and if we hit it the players might get frightened by the noise.

That will never ever change, as much as it doesn’t benefit us in the slightest 

[Gloucester Saint]

Need to play the ball over the press on the counter, manager might curl his lip as if someone has shat on the dressing room floor but need to mix it up.

[obelisk]

Liverpool get a free kick and put the thing in the box. And have a shot. See, Russ, it can be done.

[Saint_clark]

Another smart save from Macca. 

[thornhill_saints]

The noise is embarrassing from the saints "The Mighty Standing Northern End" get your fathers gun - come on please, we are past that woke shit now, or we should be!

[Harry_SFC]

Fraser is the clear weak link so far. Who'd have thought? 

[Saint_clark]

Interestingly we're playing a few long balls now that Liverpool have stepped up.

Look lads I know they are top of both Champs League and EPL but trust me, dick around with it, it's the last thing they think we'll do. Oh and Stevo, throw in as many short pointless passes as you can, we're dropping in the posession league.

 

Any questions?

Goals? Don't get smart with me lad!

[obelisk]

Stephens with a namby-pamby challenge. Liverpool break fast and have a shot.

[Saint Matty 76]

Get Fraser off the pitch for fuck sake, how is this better than Taylor or Manning?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Yeah Frase r looks very match rusty, but hardly surprising really.

[AlexLaw76]

Fraser again...giving it away far too easily

We've not fixed the lyrics away from the binary genders, traditional cis family structure and firearms usage? Tsk tsk.
