Liverpool 2-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Wade Garrett]

Cunt

[Harry_SFC]

That's why McCarthy doesn't play ladies and gentlemen 

[Saint NL]

What was McCarthy trying to do? Utterly suicidal stuff

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Our fuckin keepers, its like a circus

[Toussaint]

You just knew it, two brilliant saves then a total brain fart. 

[Southner]

Missed chances - instant punishment.

COYS!

COCK!

And any chance of goalkeeper switch goes out the window 

[SNSUN]

Why can't we sign a decent keeper ffs. Solid performance before that.

Back to normal schucks

McCarthy plays Russball. 1-0.

Hush ye... It's against Saintsweb law to mention that now...

[Toussaint]

Who knew it, we needed a first choice keeper 

[obelisk]

That minute sums up Saints this season. Miss a sitter and then hand them a goal.

[SWLondon Saint]

We need a fucking exorcist to get rid of Russ-ball.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Look, we’re playing Liverpool…we’re having a good game…we look a much better team and we knew they’d get us eventually. I prefer it this way to what I saw on Saturday.

[Jack]

The sequence leading to that goal, we’ve looked to play backwards when it wasn’t on about 3 times, with much easier passes forward or safely into the channels. What the fuck are we thinking. And Macca, put your fucking foot through it. 
 

That completely sums us up

Alas

[adrian lord]

Awful mistake by Macca. If could merge the skills of both our keepers we might have a decent one our hands.

[Saint Scott]

So frustrating. Armstrong should score, Scienza has to score and all our good play undone by a shit pass from McCarthy

[Simo is back]

Define being a Southampton fan 🤦‍♂️

[stknowle]

What else is there to do but laugh. It’s fucking like that from A.M that make Baz  An even vaguely considerable option.

Other than that though been much much better.

How is Fellows on the bench? I’ve checked and he started for WBA v Derby in the 1st round.

[saint michael]

Those players should kick McCarthy at ht wanker never learns

 

[bpsaint]

Macca doing Baz things 😂

Honestly is there another club in the whole league pyramid with worse GK options than us.

[Sir Ralph]

Seriously fuck off mccarthy. You’re at the end of your career and still make decisions like that - joke

[Wade Garrett]

Good half apart from the stupid goal.  McCarthy is such a twat, makes a few good saves then does that.  Onion.

[Sheaf Saint]

Seriously - how the actual fuck did Scienza not get that header on target? That's absolutely shocking.

Totally agree, just wish they had scored with maybe a moment of individual brilliance rather than an individual fuck up

[Saint86]

You just cant account for the damage Russel martin has done to the club - especially the defence. Even now, ages after he was sacked, we're still being done by Martin era play. He has ruined THB, macca as well (if ever there was a keeper that shouldn't have been doing martinball its him). Just a car crash. Gutting as well as that was a very respectable first half.

[Simo is back]

Better team so far though imo

[Saintsfanuk]

How has McCarthy still not learnt not to pass it stupidly across his box, he had plenty of time to not be an idiot and hit it upfield.

Positive performance though, just idiot nonsense at the back as usual so annoying.

Thats Saints for about the last seven seasons. Miss chance after chance, before gifting a goal. 
Up till that point we were moving the ball well and looking positive. So much better than the tippy tappy sideways crap we get from JS and THB.

Fucking McCarthy letting the whole team down there. Fucking useless. Up to the minute we’d been by far the better team. Absolutely fucking typical.

I don't mind conceding an Isak goal, but we should not be gift wrapping it for him.

[Obstacle1]

Was enjoying Mccarthy playing long before that...he's better than Baz but still has regular brainfarts.

Hoping Still will eventually wipe out the Russball virus, and also stop some of manning and downes' stupid backwards passing.

[It's There]

Sooooo predictable after a good half. Golden rule…get the onion away from our goal, especially then! Still must be doing his nut!

Granted that both our keepers aren't great, but there's every chance we'd already have finished the first half 2 goals down if Bazunu had been in goal. It's all relative....

[macca155]

Classic fuck up, but let's not let it detract from a storming performance so far. McCarthy hasn't played much and sadly that is his big weakness.

Lots to be positive about

 

[beatlesaint]

McCarthy ensuring Bazunu starts Saturday after looking fine up until the usual fuck up passing out !!

[Chez]

it's too tight. Make that assessment and hit it long. Simple. Really poor decision-making. Why is McCarthy trying to play Russball now?

[hypochondriac]

Our best half of the season despite the goal at the end.

I was only thinking this morning we should get that White Witch back to top up whatever she did back in in the noughties!

[RedWillie]

Why, why, why does it keep happening? Shooting ourselves in the foot time and time again.

[vectraman]

Typical Saints really. Play a decent side who aren’t interested in a low block, we look good. Anyone who closes us down, plays a low block, we are pants with no clue. (As every championship team will play against us as we are ‘perceived to be good’)….

[Saint86]

Honestly think we need to not play THB or Macca again (or at least for a very long time until the rest of the team has settled). Stephens and Quarshie for a back pairing for me - and i'm in two minds about dropping stephens as well... the scar of martinball on our defence is just horrendous.

[skintsaint]

Be nice if teams gifted us fucking goals like that. Can't remember many.

[Saint NL]

Those 30 seconds sum up everything we already knew.

Strikers that can't score and keepers that give away cheap goals. 

Is the transfer window open yet?

There’s a certain irony in the fact that he can’t get his new team to play the way he wants and we can’t stop our fucking players from still doing it. 

[jamesfp1]

That's the saintsiest thing we've ever done. Fuck me.
