Saints 1-2 Liverpool - Match Thread

[Saint Matty 76]

Sugawara cannot defend but his crossing is excellent

[obelisk]

Close to 2-2. More like it Saints.

[saintant]

Bring on Big Paul and chuck everything at them.

[Suhari]

Let's have TP!

[Jimmy_D]

Wow!

Unbelievable save to stop that.

[Chez]

lovely cross from Sugawara. Great save or it would have been all square.

[Viking Saint]

Great save from Kelleher tbf

[BotleySaint]

Unbelievable save

[Obstacle1]

Great finish from Archer...who called him a waste of a shirt? Great ball in from Sugarawa too, would like to see Tall Paul going for his crosses

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

He has showed great potential in a poor side that doesn't play to his attributes. He has never looked shit in my opinion

Tall Paul warming up. Cmon Rusk go for it

[Saint NL]

Fuck off ref

[Viking Saint]

I'd take Wood off and chuck TP on, nothing to lose. Let's have a real go at them

Archer up front with a traditional strike partner and a bit of service would do well for us.

[Suhari]

Foul on Suga, all day long.

[Saint_clark]

How the fuck is that not a foul on suga????

[Sheaf Saint]

Oof. How did we keep that out?

[CanadaSaint]

Big moment, that - aside from being a cracking goal. It’s the kind of take responsibility, go at ‘em mindset that had no place in Russball. Now that mindset needs to spread.

[Lighthouse]

Like the Brighton game, we're looking a lot better in the second half.

[John Boy Saint]

Little and large on the touchline 

[Baird of the land]

Is that sulemana coming on?

the fitness kicking in.

[Viking Saint]

Seeing a bit more fight and heart in this. Been a long time coming....

[Jimmy_D]

Officials have been their usual **** standard for us today.

[Saint NL]

Downes off is a suprise

[Saint_clark]

Onuachu is a legend.

[BotleySaint]

Rusky strategy taking off Downes.

He would have been if he scored that

[Saint Scott]

Onunachu not offside there either. He did fuck it up though

[obelisk]

Tall Paul was onside. Officials not giving Saints anything.

Absolutely does not give up. Works hard. Great attitude.

[Suhari]

Wow. Some actual drive and passion from us.

How good is this to see!?

Everyone says VAR is shit, but the officials are worse when they don't have it 🤣

[Baird of the land]

Lino desperate to call offside there.

[lambtiss]

I would have liked to see Onuachu and Archer on together

Well, the officials aren't going to score a goal for him.

[Monk]

Fuck me Manning... in the final third you're itching to run beyond and ball carry. Yet travelling from defensive into the midfield third unless there's an immediate pass on he stops progressing play by slowing down or stopping. Fucking travel the extra 5/10 yards, the picture around you will change or the full back will engage which will open options up. 

I know you'll read this..

Tall Paul looked onside not that he could finish anyway 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Lino calls offside against TP incorrectly. Where’s VAR when you need it?!

Consequence of VAR, they don't pay anywhere as much attention on the offside line as much as they should do.

Poor Endo for Liverpool has had lumps knocked out of him by us

This. TP as a target man with someone to play off him makes complete sense

[Saint NL]

Anyone checking the crowd to see if you can spot Mourinho? Pretty sure I saw Mike Basset just now

It's not a consequence at all, officials have been getting offsides wrong since the dawn of time. Palace look like they were on the wrong end of an offside goal tonight too.

I don’t think I have ever wanted a player to score more than I do Tall Paul.
