Alex has done more in a minute than Baz has done in a month.

Its a stronger team put out by Still. But also a very strong Liverpool side. I was expecting a full U21s side, its a Prem top 6 v Championship botton 6 game.

As long as we play out best that's as best we can hope

5 shots, 37% ball, 3 corners, 270 passes, 19 saves, 125 passes back or side.

Not sure how many goals for and against 

[whelk]

Battering them

[obelisk]

All over 'em!

[trousers]

Good stuff so far!

[die Mannyschaft]

Blimey best game of season in 6 mins. 3 corners and 2 shots on target 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Fuck me we’re looking like a decent team!

[CB Fry]

We've got another corner. This is it lads

[adrian lord]

Superb 

[Saint NL]

Good save, we could have scored 😱😱😱

[Wade Garrett]

Great start.  

[macca155]

Good strike from Armstrong

[adrian lord]

'Pool on the ropes 

[Suhari]

Decent start.

Pressing, moving it quickly, some forward passes.

[Paul_B]

I know it's early, but fuck me, are we ok??!

[Lighthouse]

Well we’re giving them a game at least.

[Toussaint]

Who is this team playing in our kit?

[whelk]

Extend Will Still’s contract 

[Saint NL]

So all season we are the big fish playing important games..... When all we really needed was to be the underdog in a meaningless game

I’m fairly sure we’ve sent Fenerbache or Chievo out to play for us. Smart thinking Will!

[Saint Fan CaM]

Really like the look of Jelert.

[DrSuess1979]

Look forward nice and early 

I like 

[adrian lord]

Some hitherto hidden gems in this line up of ours...

[RedArmy]

What a backwards pass from Downes!! Outstanding. 

[Hoggins]

Can see straight away Jelert looks very sharp

[Wsaint]

Armstrong playing with a point to prove, lord knows we could do with his previous championship form.

[obelisk]

Cross the thing!

[Saint Fan CaM]

I hope Still learns something from this game…it’s like watching a different club.

[trousers]

Wood having a good game so far

[Suhari]

Cross it Manning you plum sack.

[AlexLaw76]

Feck me, forward passes.....

[Maggie May]

I like Nathan Wood. 

[Killers Knee]

Playing for a move again chaps?

[Saint Scott]

Positive start, just hope we don't crumble when they inevitably score 

[coalman]

I know this is tempting fate in the worst way possible but our defence looks so much better without THB and Stephens in it. Not just being able to defend but also not cunting about slowly at the back.

[John Boy Saint]

We get up the pitch into good position with support then defend superbly all the way back under no pressure???

[Wsaint]

Scienza looking lively too so far.

Good to see a keeper moaning at his defence when he bails them out for a change. As mentioned before, Baz in goal and that’s 1-0.

[trousers]

Fair assessment...?

Lino that's bollocks

[Viking Saint]

Am getting a bit confused with this pace, forward movement, closing down and sharp invisive passing. WTF is going on??

[Saint NL]

Shame, good move

Actually playing him would probably be a good start. Every time I’ve seen us play a 4-2-3-1 well (and I know we aren’t tonight) one of the wide players has been a supporting striker. Lambert with Lallana one side and Tadic the other wouldn’t have worked, you need a J Rod, Mané or AA making the runs into the box. I think that’s why our strikers have looked isolated thus far. Let’s try a string of games with AA, Azaz and Fellows in behind Archer.

[VectisSaint]

How come Jamie Carragher is running the line tonight?

And no replay....

[John Boy Saint]

What’s Jamie Carragher doing on the flag on this near touchline? 🤪

I'm fairly sure this team is more than capable of finding ways to give the opposition the ball already.

[trousers]

Good stop McCarthy. Has to start Saturday (but won't)

[obelisk]

Offside but not given. Save by McCarthy.
