Agreed. No change there for regular Saints viewers.

When the tater asked McCoist what he'd rather do other than a 16k run in the morning, I thought he was going to say "be left alone to go home after the lock in" He sounds rough tonight.

Not helped by not having the confidence of people being there to pick up the ball, with no Downed or Smallbone. Liverpool are well drilled to shut down teams that play out without the system we've shown at our better games this season. This line up does take a chance, and they've done okay considering.

It is? Well, the record collection is mine! You can have the espresso maker. 🙂

We had our chances. They had no problems putting together a decent move, and that early hit beats us. Not out of it but need to start that second as we did the first. Hopefully they'll want a second, and give us some space.

Sod.

Lumley puts it round. Dipping shot that one.

Liverpool corner. No VVD headers tonight please.

Sule... takes a weak shot. Fair enough. If he could have used his other foot, we had a chance for a tap in.

Manning now with a poor decision. Get the ball in there.

Oh Mara. Channelling his inner Edozie. Really wasted that one.

Thanks for allowing them to reset ref. We nearly got away. Can't have that.

Good. Lumley hoofed that one. They were hovering around us like we were Norwich under Farke.

Lovely move there. Started off by some strong work by Stephens.

Likewise, trying to pass it out broke down there. Not the usual passing options.

Our normal passing game fails again through the middle, as we don't have our middle. Passes too rushed or hard. We'd have so much control if we just relaxed a bit in there.

Tapped up by Liverpool. He's on their bench.

We recovered well. Hallo with the chance to get a shot away. Our passing accuracy and possession not quite at it again. But Liverpool's set up suits us. We just need that burst and get that first.

Rothwell won't be pleased with that effort. Did well to create that space. Aribo's header cleared before that. Any one of these to go in please.

After our strong start, our energy has dropped a little. They are getting more possession. We are playing those deep deliveries into Sule as a definite way to get past them. NathanBall!

Go go Gomez. Hopefully, all their shots will be that accurate.

Oh. Edozie had space and time. Needed a better cross. After such a good build up, I thought it was going to be.

Another cracking chance for Mara. Just needed more height to take it over the keeper. Keep it going, and the goal will come. For us, I mean.

Nice there from Aribo again. Mobile, and gets us back in control

Aribo a big plus as one of the most physical on the park. Should be good for us here.
