..and here he is after a week off.

Great example of when the press is beaten. Arsenal have always been so fast on the break.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Anyone honestly surprised?

How surprising you pick that moment to make an appearance!

 

[West Kent Saint]

Anyone honestly surprised?

At your appearance? No.

Almost as if I've watched this movie before.

Yeah, as much as I don't want to say it, I can't get excited by how well we've started - even before that Arsenal goal.

Saints playing well in the first half but failing to score enough, followed by an awful second half and not winning, is essentially how every game goes for us.

Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have started well. But don't read too much into it.

 

[West Kent Saint]

Ok, we didn’t score first, so slight change of perspective?

This is part of the problem. We commit to the press fully. But if the oppo team beat that pressing then you are in trouble. Seen it time and time again

lol it is becoming a bit of a joke really.

It's almost like there's nothing to talk about until something happens....

And that second probably means this is done.

2-0, game over

 

[tomw24]

Given Arsenal's vulnerability, it isn't game over.

 

[oldstocktonsaint]

If this was Saints leading at home, the away team know they have a chance. No chance of the opposite happening. We lead then lose, or we go behind then lose.

Game over

We have to score. Can't see that happening tbh

 

[Rich]

This is so frustrating.

 

[Saintmagic]

That was so bad defensively

 

[ChilcoSaint]

So the chances we created before their goal weren’t worth commenting on?

Oh ****.

 

[steve79]

Yeah that 2nd goal was a poor goal to concede

 

[oldstocktonsaint]

2 goals in 6 mins. We are so soft.
