Chelsea 4-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Saint_clark]

Manning on not Wellington. 

Onuachu off so no striker. 

Ok.

Why doesn’t he go to a back 4 and play Aribo in his actual fucking position?

I agree, but ABK really is poor. The thought of it being just him and THB must just be too scary for Juric.

[Sunglasses Ron]

In layman’s terms, does this mean we’re fucking shit?

 

[obelisk]

Onuachu's had a few shots so time to haul him off. Dibling's been poor lately so let's see what he can do instead.

Jesus, I'm trying to look for encouraging signs of life in the side for next season. 

I’d stop doing that mate you’ll end up chewing the carpet.

[woodsaint1]

Whens the next fan engagement event? Had no problem doing them last season when things were much rosier. Alot of grovelling and explaining needed

[Galway saint]

Seems weird we have gone from the old trafford game to this 

[woodsaint1]

That'll be KWP done for the season. Not want to risk his summer move and big pay day

[Saint NL]

Ole football 😂

[trousers]

Are we playing a back 4 now or has Smallbone slotted into the back 3?

Yep Smallbone at the back.

Of all the players to be pissed at, KWP should be the least of them.

[Golac's Cunning Stunts]

I can’t remember a more dismal time than this lads. Even when we went to league 1 there seemed to be some sort of fight in the team. This is just dreadful

Who said I was pissed at him. Just pointing out that I would be surprised to see him play much in our run in

What's an xA?

[Sheaf Saint]

Does that count as a shot off target from ABK?

[SfcPhil]

Get one back and we're well in this

[trousers]

Good to see Russball making a comeback there... #faffingaroundatthebackthenlosingit

TBF we didn't drop into L1 because we were crap on the pitch.......mainly of the field reasons.

Even the nuns are being driven to drink.

That L1 team would piss over this lot.

[adrian lord]

There's nothing more one can say, really. 

[Saint NL]

Chelsea fans.

I saw a couple of Saints fans holding a sign saying "We're not Arsenal. XA of 0.25 or Fuck off"

I've got a corkscrew for her.

Aribo looks much better going forward. Good powerful run but nobody goes with him.

[obelisk]

Saints corner. Chelsea score with ease. Saints players amble back to watch.

[Saint_clark]

Conceding from our own corner, I forgot about that particular joy.

[saintant]

That goal sums up everything that is wrong with us - complete embarrassment.

[Sheaf Saint]

The fucking state of that from our own corner.

[Suhari]

Lol.

Six against two on that break?

[Saint NL]

Wow 😂

[John Boy Saint]

That was so easy 

Grand National horses v Seaside Donkeys

[SfcPhil]

Ah, that's killed the game for me.

Funny how when you buy players and use them to their strengths within a team structure, as Gerrard did with him at Rangers, that they tend to fare better. Rather than collecting ‘deals’ and hoping like a backstreet antiques dealer in Leominster that the odd item turns a profit.

Shock, we took off our only striker. 

He may be worth a try at left back.

[gammon cheeks]

Fernandes does not stop running..fair play to him .

[Teamsaint1]

Unbelievably stupid from Manning.

 

[northam soul]

When did we implement the ploy of not having shots at goal as being the way to win games.

Fuck me we must be the most shot shy boring side in the history of football.

[aintforever]

Manning has a chance to shoot and ends up setting up Chelsea - cunt.

[Saint_clark]

Don't want Manning to escape criticism there, taking on the long range shot when it was never set for him at all. 

[Suhari]

Just now, SfcPhil said:

Yeah. I don't reckon we'll claw anything back from it now.

[Charlie Wayman]

Wretched defending. Nobody cares anymore that's obvious

[Chez]

So shit from Manning there. Woeful shot and then sells himself completely and from then on we are fucked. 

[Saint NL]

Manning is so, so bad. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Just watch Manning in the replay of that.

Dives in to win a ball he can't win, and then just jogs back while Chelsea waltz through and score.

I am so fucking sick of this bunch of weak, pathetic, gutless cunts.

[SNSUN]

Thrashing every game now. We're not even pretending to be a Premier League team any more. Thank God we have an easier fixture next...

 

...oh wait...

[Saint Fan CaM]

Yep classic - our corner and fucking Manning thinking he’s some kind of hero passes the ball straight to a Chelsea player - down the other end and it’s 4-0.
