Why oh why, do they set up to attack a corner from the middle of the goal. I do not understand this.

100 times better than Russball (i.e. passing it to a Liverpool player)

Yeah and where was Manning? Half way up the field and totally ineffective!

True, dat.

[coalman]

This has got 0-0 draw written all over it. Saints to win on penalties 

[Mr X]

May as well just have a go at them as we don't do defence

Bree looked on there

[HarvSFC]

When we have the ball at the back, the opposition swarm us and force a mistake. Watch Archer when the opposition backline is playing it out. It's infuriating, might as well be playing with 10. He's marking space.

[Sheaf Saint]

Bree looked onside. No VAR though so the lino had to make a call.

A decent, direct move through.

All the signs point towards it being Rohl I will be surprised if it's anyone else

Can't expect players that take 2 days off a week and don't do 'bust a gut' training to do stuff like run around FFS.... 

[Suhari]

Cheering a long goal kick!

Wonder if Lego is watching.

[Baird of the land]

Curious to see how many minutes if any Onachu will get. Conditions seem perfect for a big target man

[Turkish]

arent we boring. You can say what you like about Lego head but at least we were guaranteed goals.

Not a sight of goal yet. But brave and working hard. I’m proud.

Liverpool don't have an answer to our strollingpress.

Martin would have probably substituted the entire 11 after 15 minutes with those stats!

Why? Anything long or up in the air is going to be blown off course. It’s a night for keeping it down on the deck and relatively short.

Meh - only need one chance. 🤭

[obelisk]

It'll click soon I'm sure. Meanwhile delighted to see a lot less fannying around in our own area.

[Turkish]

third time McCarthy has just lumped it forward aimlessly, why doesn't he pass it short to the centre backs so we can build out from the back?

perfect night for Russball, yes? SR sacked him at the wrong time

[Saint Fan CaM]

Excellent block by Bedders. Get that wrong and it’s pen/game over.

Dibling has great chance…and fluffs it.

Disagree. Wet and blustery are great conditions to be swinging the ball into the box as it will a nightmare to defend.

You can alreayd see how wet the pitch is. That isn't a pitch to for short passing on.

[Gingeletiss]

We done a shot.

[trousers]

Great move.... Started by a Bednarek long ball out of defence... But Dibling should do better with that

[Saint Fan CaM]

Manning with a completely rubbish pass forwards.

[Mr X]

Poor from dibling but got to remember his age

A rubbish pass backwards would've been worse... #progress

[Saint_clark]

Endo runs into Dibling and gets a freekick. Ok.

[trousers]

The Liverpool player ran into Dibling there, didn't he?

[AlexLaw76]

anyone have a link?

You don’t have to defend anything if the ball just gets blown well over everyone’s head and out for a throw in or goal kick, which is happening to both sides ATM. Our best attack of the game just came from a low, direct pass into Fernandes, who played a neat through ball to Dibling.

[Saint Fan CaM]

1-0 and the commentators are happy again. Balls up from Bedders.
