:saints: Saints v Burnley :burnleyfc: (PL)

Although a fair bit :man_facepalming: got a sneaky suspicion we shall knick a win

After a shit first 15 mins I thought we improved and played some decent stuff. We’re still a little slow at times as we move forward. Apart from the chest control and subsequent chance from the Armstrong cross, not sure that Austin has done enough to continue in the second. Agree with @saintbletch that the 3 at the back isn’t working. We’ve got 3 centre backs but they’re cutting through them easily and at times it looks like there’s only one.

Redmond looking better than last season. Lemina has improved as the game has gone on. McCarthy playing well again.

I want to see Gabi or ings for the second half.

3 Burnley fans (+ 3 girlfriends on their mobiles)

1 Saints fan (Mrs C_S, Young Adult & Teenage Mutant have gone to do something more worthwhile)

I have been left with 400Kn beer money - I think I’ll need it all…

Edit: add an extra 0’ to my beer fund

Better second half of the first half there

Agree with this, but i would even consider Long for his running and he can then cut it back to an incoming Armstrong.

Ok we’re off…

And Vestey kicks it out near our area for a Burnley throw

My head shaking and tut-tutting muscles are getting a good early season workout

McCarthief saving the day again

Burney passed straight though the middle of us again.

We need to be more compact in the centre.

Austin takes out Armstrong.

We’re doomed

Elyounoussi and Ings😁

Ings and Elinouoossie are on.

For who?

Armstrong and Cedric

Stephens at right back in a 4?

Hopefully, but hard to tell.
Looks like it.

That was better moved the ball forwards and then towards the middle.

corner cleared of the line nearly a Burnley own goal.

Fair play to Hughes.

It was obvious we needed more bodies in midfield but I fully expected Hughes to persevere with 5 at the back.
