Saints 1-2 Arsenal - Thank F**k it’s All Over Thread

[saint michael]

I think being a forward in this side would be hugely frustrating. I know these forwards are poor but so slow to get it fed and no support when it does go forward

Not too often you see people airlifted in to do the last mile in the marathon though. 🙂

Great save ramsdale

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Ramsdale saves us again.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Rambo keeps us in it…again.

[sockeye]

Ramsdale is just a class above.

[obelisk]

Saints just run out of ideas in the attacking third. A collective brainfart takes over.

Can you imagine Baz doing that? Me neither.

And there it is.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

bah!

[Saint NL]

1-0

[obelisk]

Another cross from Arsenal. This time it's scored. 0-1. Maybe Saints should try the idea of crosses into the box.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Defensively weak there, and missing entirely from the near post.

[benjii]

Smart D.

Heresy.

[saint michael]

Just so shit again 

[Saint Fan CaM]

And there it is. No one to blame really - just much better movement from a player who knows how to score. Plus Stewart - our striker was marking the shooter.

[Saint_clark]

Glad we're playing such a defensive game plan so we're nice and solid. Who cares about goals of our own. 

[sockeye]

1/3 of the way to my Dominos gift voucher.

This fucking slow play is like a disease

Sulemana seems to save himself for the last game of the season.

Seems to be a notable pattern forming here.....

Did the commentators just say that when saints conceded first at home they've lost every time?

 

Christ that's pathetic 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Oh Sule. All pace, not finish.

[SambaMaverick]

Fair play Sulemana

He's total shit with the ball at his feet but he's carried our so-called attack on his shoulders for half this season with no reward.

[Saint Fan CaM]

45-50 minutes of more pain. Chins up kiddos.

Stewart is just way too immobile to get up and support quickly enough. 

[obelisk]

Saints managing to get into some advanced positions occasionally but instead of the ball being crossed it inevitably gets passed backwards. This Russball cult still needs to be knocked out of the team

It is indeed pathetic, but given that only once this season have we managed to score first and hold on to win, it's really not that surprising.

did we not field 3 CBs? 

i reckon Stewart doesn't get a lot of 6 yard box defending work in training.

 

[Saint_clark]

Blimey these Singapore adverts on gambling are a bit wild, I thought that was going to end with him topping himself due to losing it all then. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

When the Arse have to resort to putting on their subs their team will be weakened and we can take advantage. And then I woke up.

I've got two Aussie idiots yapping on trying to hype up irrelevant international games, I'll be glad to see the back of them this summer

[Killers Knee]

The worst part of this season is the fact we are stopping Man Utd from being relegated.  This season sucks

[AlexLaw76]

45 mins or so left of the hand of Rusk in relation to the first team selection 

thank god

5 atb but it's our cf trying to stop a near post run, wtf do they do in tactical training Rusks as bad as the rest of the recent managers

One of the Aussie idiots in question, I've seen this season, was our own Scott McDonald. 🙂 

[sockeye]

Rusk should leave tonight.

Go manage Eastleigh or something

[Saint_clark]

Have to say I forgot Robinson was on the pitch. 

[Toussaint]

If we don’t get something from this game I fear for our premier league survival!

Curious, was it outside the penalty box?

'cause Saints haven't had one of those this season. Pathetic.

Of course he is - he’s had to work to the club strategic requirement of pass it backwards ball or whatever you want to call it. Plus he’s not a top manager/coach.

[Saint_clark]

My favourite part of watching football on TV is when they cut away from the game to show you some bloke sat in the stand watching the game you're trying to watch.

That’s because he’s spent more time helping out at right back.

Normally you're right, but seeing Will Still in the crowd has been a highlight of this match.

[Saint_clark]

Why did we bring Onuachu into the side, watching him hold the ball up, flick it on, win headers and score goals, and then drop him in favour of reintegrating Stewart who has been fucking awful? 

If we're committing to keeping one of them i'd much rather keep Onuachu ffs.

well he does lead the club in goals this season with 4! hooray!

 

and out of curiousity, I looked up Sulemana's production during his time here.

3 full seasons - 3 goals.

All our players are terrified of shooting.
