Chelsea 4-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Viking Saint]

Smallbone doing fuck all defensively as usual

[obelisk]

Defending from that corner was awful. Expect the floodgates to open now.

Shocking from Smallbone 

And sugawara for not being further up

[Saint_clark]

Almost looked like Smallbone headed it in. 

[DT]

Great selection of Smallbone, Juric. You utter wanker. Has anyone at Saints got any tactical clue whatsoever? Anyone?

Not really, thats all on the defender that didn't step up and played them all onside... Unless you think we should be trying to play an offside line by being goalside of the otherwise offside attacker... 🫠

Chelsea player wanted it more  

[Disco Stu]

Shame as I thought we were playing alright up until that point.

[Saint_clark]

We could have had Aribo in CM instead of Smallbone and THB at CB.

True but Smallbone just has to deal with it, he's so lightweight it's a joke. 

[AlexLaw76]

Sugawara played him onside 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Didn't expect much, but fuck me at least we could have made it a little more harder for them to score.

Completely disagree. Smallbone was goalside of Nkunku and decided to give up that space to turn, face him, grab at his waist and stumble. He could have kept his eyes on the ball and just headed the cross away.

Mate, put the agenda aside. Smallbone can't be goalside of him without playing him onside. Its on Suga for being yards off it positionally and not pushing up straight away.

[SNSUN]

I made some pudding earlier whilst watching the A Team. It went really well. I love it when flan comes together. 

Trying puns as nuns aren't working this season.

Exactly 

[Greenridge]

Men against boys. Hardly a surprise. 

[John Boy Saint]

That should be a yellow for simulation

Either way, they haven’t defended as a unit and made it very easy for an edgy opponent. 

[Saint_clark]

Fuck off Neto you cheating prick.

[Saint NL]

That's cheating ffs

[obelisk]

Tall Paul header saved.

[SNSUN]

Jesus we nearly scored one of those... goal things. Shame TP didn't follow it up.

[Saint Fan CaM]

How the fuck didn’t Paul score there?!

[John Boy Saint]

Work the keeper - he’s made out of glass

[AlexLaw76]

Great save

[macca155]

A bit more fight tonight but usual bollocks at the back.

Any of the three CBs could play in Aribo's place allowing Joe to be pushed forward for Smallbone.

Be a better team, no question.

Good save from Onuachu, come on Saints.

[Saint_clark]

I'm gonna say it, I see enough from Juric that I want him to stay. With the right players we will be a dominant, effective team that bullies other sides.

Couldn't really do much more.

Looked like he was the wrong side of his man, but he at least stuck his head where it hurts to try and recover, but was second best.

He is a horrific manager

It's nice to see another team fucking around at the back

Bollocks, he was pushed out of the way like he wasn't even there. Powderpuff stuff

Each to their own. I see the makings of a very good side for next season under him and I can even see how/why the formation works.

[Saint NL]

How on earth did Palmer not score?

There is nothing remotely good about us

Nothing what so ever

The team are fighting just the endless mistakes at the back . Must be easy for the opposition manager “ don’t worry if they are playing well they will fuck up in the end “

[obelisk]

Downes gives it away - goal. Same old story.

[SouSaint]

Fuck off Downes

[Lee On Solent Saint]

And another individual mistake leads to a goal. 

[Saint_clark]

Flynn Downes can fuck right off, what a waste of the majority of our transfer budget just so Russell can keep his band of merry cunts together. 

[Viking Saint]

Fuck off

[macca155]

Downes at fault there 2 0

Too easy for them

[AlexLaw76]

Nothing good, as I said 

[Saint NL]

Downes ffs

[Colinjb]

Ok, made it to 2 down.

I'm out.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Downes fucks up and it’s 2-0. Twat. As I predicted, game over before half-time.

[Disco Stu]

FFS Downes.
