Saints 0-1 Burnley - Match Thread

[Harry_SFC]

Badly missing a striker in this game. I'd certainly get Onuachu on at half time. 

[obelisk]

That was fairly grim stuff. 0-0 and penalties at this rate.

[Mr X]

Truly dire first half hopefully we improve 

[SouSaint]

Striker on and bin off this formation. 

[Saint Billy]

What a bag of shite that was 

[ButtikonSaint]

all very subdued... where's the in your face, full press, nasty heavy metal team that Juric is supposed to be working towards?

'Magic of the cup' my fucking arse. Least magical thing I've ever witnessed.

[Baird of the land]

Dibling seems well off the pace.

Hopefully we can get Paul on soon.

[tdmickey3]

Practice for next season

[Disco Stu]

We could do with a striker.

[The Kraken]

Might watch the rugby.

[Sheaf Saint]

Just watching the first half highlights. How on Earth did Manning manage to hit that attempt straight at the recovering keeper?

All he had to do was pass to Dibling and it would've taken the keeper out of the equation.

It was worse than that. I'm in the Chapel so at least I'll see their goals this half.

Or chipped it into the net.

They'll probably only need one.

Manning can barely pass with his right foot, let alone chip it over a keeper. 

[Midfield_General]

If anyone's still looking for a stream, this one's working ok for me.

Manning needs to do better with these shots

There were two defenders back on the goal line anyway. It was rubbish by Manning but he had plenty more to do than just dink it over the keeper.

That one was really poor.

[Disco Stu]

Manning is not the man you want presented with these chances

Couldn’t finish his dinner 

[obelisk]

Manning misses another sitter.

[Saint NL]

Sulemana deserved to be booked for that awful dive 

[SambaMaverick]

Sulemana you should be ashamed

I think he may have slipped. But obviously not a pen.

[benjii]

I'm more annoyed at Manning not just hammering it at the goal.

This lot can't do anything right, dives included. 

[danjosaint]

A really dislikeable team

[Saint NL]

Everybody has lost the ability to shoot today 😂

Us or them?

[benjii]

Let's get Manning and Dibbers off. Onuachu and Groenback on.

[The Kraken]

This formation is really, really weird. 4 full backs, Joe Aribo consistently dropping in to the back three, no focal point up front. Really not very entertaining, it’s all too slow.

Don’t blame him after the previous 2 attempts which were shocking. Needs replacing here 

[Saint NL]

Clear handball, play on ref 

[Disco Stu]

Sulemana needs to be careful.

[obelisk]

Sully's going to get himself sent off soon.

[benjii]

If Sulemana could pass or shoot he'd be class.

[ButtikonSaint]

take off Manning for Archer (probably keeping TP for the league) and go for a 4-3-3 ... a positive change might do us some good and get Archer some mins.

[Saint In Cornwall]

Uncle Fester has gone off thank fuck for that

[tdmickey3]

Subs???

[Saint Matty 76]

Sulemana best of a bad bunch. Just an awful final pass as per his entire career here.

[obelisk]

Saints decision making in attack is abysmal. Composure needed.

[Jack]

Need some presence up top, give them a different problem. 

[benjii]

Come on Ivan. Let's have some subs.

[obelisk]

Time for Tall Paul.
