I get what you're saying, but they've been playing against strikers who are worse than Adam Armstrong, so that record sounds less impressive....

Our top scorer is on 3, what’s your point? 

[sambosa75]

It’s on Optus Sport 4.

Last season we conceded 64.

I think this ref has a howler in him.

 

Whistle happy.

But our strikers are playing against premier league defenses. Not really comparable is it?

For context, Adam Armstrong scored a hat full last season and 1 in the PL.

Cut that fancy shit out. Backpass.

So what you’re essentially saying is we’ve got championship standard players and Burnley have conceded 9 goals against Championship standard players. 
 

Thanks for confirming what I said about needing to get men forward because these are hard to break down. 

[The Kraken]

Ashley Barnes needs to be getting the clippers to his head. An astonishingly bad thatch.

Comb over territory I thought. 

[benjii]

Yeah this ref hasn't got a clue. If you fall over he gives a foul.

[coalman]

This is not a good advert for football 

[Saint NL]

Refs all over the shop so far 😂

[obelisk]

Saints pass up a couple of sitters.

[Wsaint]

How we not scoring there 😂

[Disco Stu]

Once again, Dibling should have been layed off, this time by Manning.

[obelisk]

Manning could and should have taken his time. Too rushed. Needed composure.

[benjii]

Sule getting into some good spaces.

Officer Dibbles and KWP not really in the game.

[Harry_SFC]

Burnley really are a shite team to watch 

[LeBizzier69]

Threesome - me, Wellington and Matty F.

[Saint NL]

Soft CBs again

[obelisk]

Soft defending by Bree. McCarthy saves.

[Mr X]

Terrible defending there, Burnley should be leading

[benjii]

Welly looking class again. Marauding centre back today! Great turn of pace.

[tdmickey3]

Sherwood watching a different game to me…. Idiot

[Saint NL]

I'm just hoping Smallbone comes on to headbutt Jonjoe Shelvey. 

[coalman]

We are so static. Walking football littered with nothing passes

Still too many players who look for the pass backwards/sideways first. Aribo, Bree and Manning are prime examples.

If they collide it will look like Katie Price has run on the pitch.....

[Dr Who?]

This is shocking. We really are very dull.

[Mr X]

Dire game from both sides!

Yep, imbibed too much of the Rusty Kool aid.

No cunt spinning in behind and no striker on the pitch, who can blame them

[Saint NL]

KWP must be having the quietest game of his career. 

[obelisk]

Saints still look far to slow. Both physically and in decision making. Caught offside too much as well.

[benjii]

Think people are going over the top. We lack a striker. I expect Tall Paul to come on later and us to score.

Also think the criticism of Aribo is nonsense.

Bree and Manning are just pretty limited players. Not sure why Bree always gets picked.

[Saint NL]

Not much happening so I'm going to rate the managers jackets.

Parkers green effort is much cooler than Ivan's dull black number.

I think he’s looked alright, getting in some decent positions and could’ve scored with a better first touch. He’s got very little to aim at when he does get forward, which isn’t a shock considering Juric forgot to play a striker 

[Sheaf Saint]

How the fuck is that a a FK to Burnley? Sully got his head to the ball first.

[Jack]

Referee is an embarrassment 

[Saint NL]

Wellington showing some skills

Yep, but Ivan’s got a Motörhead sleeveless tee shirt underneath to Parker’s Taylor Swift hoody. 

[Jack]

Nice chance. Dibling is a pro at putting it a yard wide of the near post. Every time 

[Danbert]

Decent play from Dibling, there but he's done nothing else - not pressing at all

[gio1saints]

Yup. This is about our level.

Hardly a surprise is it.
