Leaving too many points out there. Paying the price for lack of depth at 10.

Sarries just ahead. I fear this might become a game we should have/could have won. Sarries are beatable in this form. Come on Tigers!

Holmes as a senior player needed to handle that better

Kick the ball away to a team like Sarries is madness but still we keep gifting them possession!

Been a "tactic" for many a year. Kick possession away to opposition strike runners with no chase. Have they not watched England's last 2 games

The kick chase without May simply isn't good enough, Sarries bench is really beginning to swing the momentum

Sadly obviously Murphy has no plan B as we have kicked ball away all game with little chase so no pressure on sarries. Yet they kick we under pressure all the time and give penalties away.
Murphy not up to scratch as head coach... By now would have learnt to kick to corners not down the middle.
No strength in depth.

Every time we box kick there are 4 Sarries in/around the ball catcher, blocking! Why is ref not penalising them?

Could kick it a little shorter if our chasers are slower. Or perhaps even not kick it.

They are allowed to as long as they don't change their lines, its exactly what England and Ireland have been doing a lot in recent times

Hopefully that's the last we see of Owen. Dreadful performance.

We're a penalty machine for sarries. Dull play again. Poor sarries side yet we make them look good. Their subs outshine ours.
Backs been poor most of the game

Well we are playing Sarries away what did people expect?

After this we would have played all 3 of the top 3 away from home so at least they are out of the way.

Honestly been happy in general with the performance especially defence on the whole.
Add hopefully Thompson and Spencer maybe next week.
