Man Utd 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[CB Fry]

All set up for a lovely honourable defeat here tonight.

[Disco Stu]

Sounds about right...

[adrian lord]

Juric has put some passion and fight into the team. 

[skintsaint]

Good positive start but I have a feeling how this is going to go.

[obelisk]

Good openings by Saints but finishing not what I'd hope.

[Saint_clark]

Never a foul on fernandes there, refs a joke.

[Gingeletiss]

Death, taxes, and Utd scoring, only sure thing in life.

[obelisk]

A let off. Saints defence done by pace.

Mein Fuhrer...

Mein Fuhrer...the...goalie was not in goal...

[Sheaf Saint]

I'm fairly certain that if Garnacho's shot had been on target then it would have hit THB.

[Killers Knee]

20 minute mark, has our fitness improved or do we start fading.....

[trousers]

Why is the ref giving Man Utd freekicks whenever their players fall over....?

And our players get ignored twice in a row when getting the shit kicked out of them.

More to the point, why are you even surprised about that?

Ugochukwu is toilet

Curious in a rhetorical questioning kinda way rather surprised...

[Sheaf Saint]

I thought VAR was going to give that.

[adrian lord]

nearly scored twice!

[SNSUN]

We should’ve scored there. Brilliant from Tyler.

[Gingeletiss]

Great double save.

[Suhari]

Wow.

So close.

[AlexLaw76]

How did we not score?!?

Maybe the Chelsea fans were pulling out left when, almost to a man, they were gutted that Chelsea weren't going to use him more this season?

Great run and chance by Dibbling!

[Sheaf Saint]

Fucking Onana!

Finally a manager that’s showing confidence in him?

Normally dog shite....but not tonight 😕

[adrian lord]

Foul on Sule by De lighd ignored 

[AlexLaw76]

well, so far, this is showing miles more attacking intent that anything else this season.

[Sheaf Saint]

That was an awful attempt by Aribo.

[Suhari]

Very good performance so far.

Annoying: we could have done so much better this season. Russ fucked us up.

[trousers]

Looks like the Brentford performance might be a blip rather than the norm? Looking much more positive under Juric again today.... #famouslastwords

[Mr X]

We've been decent so far tonight to be fair.. ...we will still lose though as we inevitably always do 

[obelisk]

Fernandes really should score there.

100%...we actually look like a bog standard premier league side....

I hope so too. I'm sat here wondering for the millionth time why we stuck with Martin for so long and have let all the "winnable" games go by.

[Sheaf Saint]

Yep. Anywhere other than straight at Onana.

it was just bizarre why he remained in post so long.

[adrian lord]

Well we have silenced the red hordes, just need to score.

Yeah I'm not having this "amazing save" malarkey. He literally just has to put it either side of him.

They were already silent 😅

The board were just asleep at the wheel. And it seems now that Dragan has finally wised up to just how remiss and negligent they were.

[obelisk]

All we need is a bit more target practice.

[adrian lord]

great run Kamaldeen, didn't quite pull the trigger right

probably need to score at least 3 times to get anything out of this game
