Saints 250/1 for relegation that's more of a concern. How have they come up with that.

Goal drought at Saints, blame it on climate change.

Saints to be fair look a very confident draw team. Stifling the game with large chunks of passing. Its a game of chess , slow methodical nothing too exciting. Give it time and another 3 points will arrive in November.

Boro didn't look a top table club to me, if we had players who can shoot on site rather than stop decide then pass Saints could easily havd won 3-1

Too often we wanted to go backwards, sideways, anything but forward. just what is the aim of slowing down game and passing around. Football has got very boring. When teams equalise we xant get any momentum to get another goal as stuck in robotic sleep mode. Its like 2001 space oddesey, cant you run forward through the lines ?sorry fans I cant do that..

We need a striker to help along Armstrong. Why on earth haven't we got one in??? Take a point but we are bottom 6 team and need someone to dribble and shoot. STOP PASSING SIDEWAYS Russell has left otherwise get him back.

Looking at the games in bottom 6 today is almost a 6 pointer.

Its very unlikely they watch the players. Certain its all done on stats, like EA26 with how fast run, left foot right foot skill which side better, tackles made, passes, headers. Its all metrics. No one will ever watch a player only at lower leaques. Didn't we get two player for about £20m each and they got maybe 17 goals between them in 2 seasons. That's also why we grt all the excuses, the person can play on left, this one cant do that v this team, etc. Players are so restrictive and only with a few skills. Watching Liverpool game its 100% clear no one goes to a game to assess a player for 95 mins

Goal keepers shoukd never pass across goal or to own player who is being marked or opponents running towards then. Thus habit needs to stop, starting in training as its one of the things our keepers do very well.

Except Bazanu, he's either very unlucky or practices unusual goal keeping.

Loan to Eastleigh would be good, not far to travel.

Much better than I expected. A lot of decent passing and more direct. Keepers still have this automated shor pass. Its all going brilliant with long balls out until the shot pass to a player marked by opponent. Desperately need a striker, even from Winchester city on loan would do. Can't we get a player in next week or havdcto wait for Jan window? We coikd make a desperate please to FA.

We played with 10 , when are we going to buy another striker, get someone on loan or even from Winchester City.

Gooooooal

Get Downs off quickly

Saints best team on pitch. 500% better than Pompey game. But again stupid keeper passing mistake, when will Saints learn that keepers stop the ball going in net they are not out fielders dribbling and passing. Should have been 1 up before lucky Liverpool scored.

Blimey best game of season in 6 mins. 3 corners and 2 shots on target

Its a stronger team put out by Still. But also a very strong Liverpool side. I was expecting a full U21s side, its a Prem top 6 v Championship botton 6 game. As long as we play out best that's as best we can hope 5 shots, 37% ball, 3 corners, 270 passes, 19 saves, 125 passes back or side. Not sure how many goals for and against

Liverpool 7-8 Saints

Too many players just come in to do a job then go, left on bench, dont play or loaned out no real connection with Saints except the long standing players. Add modern football and it has killed the game. Stupid hand ball, pen rules not yellow cards for holding means less goals. Players sitting down on pitch faking injury to stop an attack is a highly valued skill in coaching manual

I'd live another Wembley play off final, decent day out out and anyone can win. Top 2 places are too far off with points to make up and Saints will take 6-10 game to find best 11 and style & system so 6th with a large amount of luck and a goalkeeper, 2 x Strikers in window. Not bothered at the moment as we got no idea how to play football and lucky to not be in bottom 3. The boring negative play to draw football has made fans fall asleep, dull the atmosphere and possibly reduce the attendance next season if in championship or Leaque 1.

Good idea otherwise its same teams promoted all the time, as in national league. Needs to be a relegation play off from 18th to 24th then Saints can have a chance of staying up this season, maybe a relegation play off final at Wembley!!

Its none of the players fault, its the manager who selects the team and someone (who knows who it is) that buys the players. Same as last season when we got a goal keeper £27m when we needed 2 or 4 goal scorers. Did didn't matter how many goals went in as more likely to win lots of 3-2 games by scoring more than let in. Maybe its some 4th division Spanish, French or Luxembourg team with are tied in with who manage Saints behind the scenes.
