Good replacement for Shane Long.

Double sub alert.

Ely trying to take out Starlink with that effort.

AA totally devoid of confidence.

AMN looks shattered. Time to change it Ralph...

Love Che Adams. Never gives up.

Just wave after wave of attack. We can't keep the ball. Players too far apart and not working together.

Come on Saints, get a grip!!

KWP has had enough clearly.

We are all over the place. No idea what Ralph has been doing lately.

From both teams. Simply awful match. Like watching conference level football.

Not impressed with Caleta-Car. Early days but hopefully he adapts to the Prem soon

We are trying very hard to help them back into the game. Another great motivational half time team talk from Ralph.

They'll get more familiar with each other and develop a style of play the more games they get together.

Come on Saints. You can beat this shit!

And with no red cards.

No sense of rhythm in the team. We look disjointed and keep giving them the ball back. They will punish us if we keep this up.

I don't think we can rely on them being worse than us. They will surely improve as the season goes on.

Ralph's expression and body language today was not his usual. Face down. Looked pretty low at the end. Almost like he knows this is his last game. Maybe I'm just trying to be positive

No need to panic Saints. We are only one win from being level with Liverpool..

Chasing shadows here. A mixture of City being sublime and our players totally lacking in belief and energy. Don't expect to beat City but you hope we'd at least put in some effort.

Team was really static there until it was too late. Real lack of effort being shown which makes you wonder if they are no longer behind the manager.

Sorry chap More optimistic: Maybe we'll have a shot toward their goal in the next 45?

We don't really stand a chance against the megabucks of City to be fair. Totally different class of investment. Ralph will still be here for a while yet..

You just can't argue with the stats and results in the last 20 or so games. We are not good enough for this league. Too many shortcuts.
