Match Day Thread Saints At Liversaints, November 18th, 3pm - Bleak and Awful Matchday Thread

Anyone scared we are away to city soon

 

Don't forget a deadline loanee from a French or Spanish second division club, who won't ever actually play for us.

 

I haven't felt this lack of hope in a Saints team since the pre-Liebherr days and it is all self inflicted. I suppose it was inevitable that we would employ a turkey with changing managers so often. I just hope that this particular turkey is gone by Christmas!...

 

That's a detail. A decent quality Liverpool striker scored. Saints are well into the second season having not sorted this current particular problem. The details of Saints not maintaining their upward momentum are abundantly clear, and so forgive me for not going through them yet again.

 

Yeah it's because we reached as high as we realistically can.

 

You and your realistic limits. Haven't you heard the old saying that anything can happen in football.?

 

I think the saddest thing about the current affair is that our best player is the one who doesn't want to be here.

 

"They had the ball there, and Austin and Gabbiadini are looking for it, saying 'come on, hit us', and their first thought is to go backwards".

I feel you bro, I feel you.

 

Anyway, given that I turned the radio off before even HT, can anyone tell me whether Austin has actually had a kick? Would be a surprising change.

 

I think Swansea and West Brom are crapper than us (just need one more)

 

Don't buy that. What I can't get my head around is how obvious the changes that were and still are needed, have apparently not been so visible to key decision-makers. They must be hamstrung by far more than we can see.

 

Would you want to be here? Our second, third and fourth best players shouldn't want to be here, let alone our best. They can do so much better.

 

It can, as in a one off result, or a freak season (Leicester) but there's simply too much money in the game for us to become anything more than an upper mid table club with the odd challenge for Europe / cup run.

I just don't think it's fair to have a dig for not 'maintaining upward momentum' when we reached a bit of a glass ceiling and it would have been borderline impossible to do so.

 

Well at least I got 6 points in the prediction league.

 

Commentator praises Liverpool and then: 'You cannot say the same for the losers, who were desperately disappointing.'

 

Huddersfield are just starting to take a fair few spankings. Hull have twice started very well in the PL, only to fall down the table very horribly. I think Burnley did too, first time around.

They've got City and Arsenal next, too.

 

shut up!

 

Oh for a young Rickie Lambert.....

 

It can , for good and bad .

 

I don't count Long or Austin as strikers anymore
