Saints 1-2 Liverpool - Match Thread

[dellboysaint]

Russ all has gone thankfully but nothing has taken its place. There is a vacuum but still the slowness of Russball is still there. We are unfit after months of Russball.

Yep... seems obvious that changes are required...?

Probably one of those imbiciles who pre plans his subs and ignores the game situation.

It’s difficult to know what our level is at the moment as that first half was very poor

guess confidence is totally shot 

Expand  

we look like we have zero confidence. Tough times.

Not particularly. Shit first half performance.

Probably best to keep your "told you so" card in your handbag for a while longer though....

[Saint NL]

Bree looks like he's done for the night

[Lighthouse]

I wouldn’t say we looked unfit so much as devoid of confidence and belief, which losing every week tends to take from you.

Been like that all season but you were never so scathing, wonder why that could be?

It really hasn’t.

A lot of it is lack of fitness - clear as day watching them cover the ground compared with us.

Unlucky for him, but he was struggling to handle Gakpo pace, so the change might help us.

Agreeing with the obvious doesn't win any contrarian points though....

Last season we won quite a few games with late goals, so we were clearly doing something right. I highly doubt we got promoted and said, "alright, fitness isn’t important any more, let’s go down the waffle house." Liverpool just look like a team at the opposite end of the confidence and belief spectrum to us.

[Saint NL]

Downes with his weekly stupid yellow card....

[John Boy Saint]

Wow 

[Baird of the land]

What biased commentary. They were both clearly tugging eachother, hence why they both got booked but commentor ignores elliotts part in it

 

Our moment of luck from a direct ball deflection

Can we at least injure a few of their players and ruin their title challenge?

[Saint Scott]

Get in!

[Saint Matty 76]

Maybe he isn’t as shit as I thought fair play

[Saint Fan CaM]

At last - Archer scores a scorcher!f

[obelisk]

Archer with a great goal. 1-2

[Saint NL]

Great goal archer

All of those late wins came after being camped in their half playing five yard passes, hardly as taxing as getting ripped a new arsehole by Premier League athletes up and down the pitch twice a week.

We are unfit and unorganised, plain and simple

[Jimmy_D]

Game… on?  

GERRRRRRIN!

[saintant]

GGGGOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLL.......AAAAAARRRRRCCCCHHHHUUUUURRRRRGGGGGHHHHH.

[Suhari]

Archer. Absolute beauty.

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

Well that made a nice change...bednarak and nunez not getting into handbags and then Archer scores!!!

[Chez]

lovely finish. Come on Saints.

[trousers]

The championship quality player scores!!!

[Gingeletiss]

We done a goal.

That was probably due to the quality of subs we could bring on, more than general fitness 

[Saint_clark]

Get the fuck in! 

[stknowle]

Really good goal from Cameron utter non-entity of a footballer at this level Archer.

[Saint Billy]

What a player Archer is.

[Baird of the land]

Cmon get a 2nd striker on now.

[Viking Saint]

Great finish. There's something there in the boy!!!

[Sheaf Saint]

Archer has had so little of the ball so far, so it's great to see him show what he can do when he does get it where he wants it, even if it came via a deflection.

[Mr X]

Hmm not bad archer 

[obelisk]

No scorcher from Bree tonight then.

[Suhari]

If it were a week ago, he'd have cut inside and passed it back......

[Master Bates]

[HarvSFC]

Really nice goal that. Maybe there is a striker in there if we play to his strengths.
