Match Day Thread Burnley v Saints Saturday 10th August 3pm

[......loading......]

Attack doesn’t look any better, either. I might even be a little more concerned about that.

Well, I did notice a lot of people suggesting we had to win 4-3. They were sadly right...

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

What happened whilst I was out!!

 

[West Kent Saint]

Oh, what a terrible start.

 

[SotonOldBoy]

Savage might have a point on this showing

 

[Archers Road]

We shouldn't be losing to this **** team! Come on Saints, you are a class above, start bloody showing it!

What are we a class above mate?

 

[VocalMinority]

Beginning to think that prediction about us being top of the league at game 1 was wrong.

 

[saintsfcfan]

Liverpool
Brighton away (they’re ripping Watford a new one)
United at home

0 points?

I totally understood (and agreed) that sorting out the defence was the priority for us. But I still firmly believed we were an attacker short - if we intend to start two strikers on regular basis. Look at today; go 1-0 down and Obafemi is who we find ourselves turning to...

Why is everyone so bothered about age. Danso is older than Valery. If you're good enough you're old enough.

If you’re good enough you don’t go out on loan or get sold to Southanmpton.

 

[VVD]

For all the pressing, new signings in the forwards, link up play and attacking pace, you can’t legislate for defensive errors out of nothing that cost goals.

Except for the fact they keep happening.

Conceding one or two goals every game is going to make things very difficult.

 

[----HistoryRepeating----]

When he said disgusting, I don't think he meant performance. Doh.

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

Great start to the season, boys.

 

[Beef]

Nearly 4

 

[tomw24]

****s sake. This is ****ing amateur.

 

[steve79]

Not a good start to the season. Can only get better from here on

Agreed. However, I'd just argue that Danso won't suddenly make us great - the same as Augsburg leaked plenty of goals when he played with them. It all depends on the combination of his own level (which will improve as he's young, however good anyone thinks he is now) and the players around him.

Maybe he was talking about his vomit breath?

We needed a defensive leader... We got a kid.

 

[mowgli]

Trouble is, Danso is really for the future. If he's better than what we've got already, that says more about what we've currently got than how good Danso is. Danso is very young, and will make mistakes also because of that.

Christ almighty. Wait till he’s played before you write him off eh?

 

[Libby]

****s. Utter utter ****s.


That is all

We where far the better team in the 1st half. Just lacking the end product. Burnleys hoof and run, has turned the game. Same old defensive liabilities unfortunately though!
