Stepgar Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Messy game. Probably should have had at least one pen but a point is a point. Wanyama MOM for me.
Batman Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Good away point. Any away point in the prem is a good result. played very well. 1 freak goal and another aided by the wind JWP was very good Wanyama my MoM. wind looked horiffic good, entertaining game should have had a penalty all in all. good away point
jampot Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Good point, Saints the better team. Ward P MOM.
Bewildered Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 We were OK, think Stoke had prepared better for the conditions. Wanyama was MoM,
Mr X Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 probably a point is a fair result after the opening calamity, good posession but did too little with it!! probably not the game for ramirez but at least he made an appearance
Pastor Patrón Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Stoke are an utterly pointless side, they bring nothing to the table whatsoever.
SaintRobbie Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 We were the better side. Could've had at least one penalty. Good away point in the conditions. I think we were worth a one goal lead win but hey, flooky goal for Stoke stopped it. Saints go marching on! At least our rivals Chelski lost!
monkadill Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 i never thought at any moment during the game we would lose, we are GOOD!
Barry Sanchez Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Good point, nothing more to say other than that.
Saint Charlie Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 We were clearly the more composed team and but for conditions would have probably won. A good point all in all. We are a good team.
.comsaint Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Good point - considering the dismal start. Great finish by Jay Rod from a superb ball by JWP (MOTM for me).
CanadaSaint Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 1. I'm pretty sure that Foy was the homer POS who gave the penalty against Fox at Newcastle last year for far less than that. 2. That game made it clear, not that it was in much doubt IMO, that Ramirez is talented but far too lightweight and uncommitted for the way we play. I'm amazed that MP put him on the bench for a game at Stoke and even more amazed that he brought him on.
Micky Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Would have taken a point before the game - shame about the freak goal but hey ho - ever nearer 38 points and safety.
RobM Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Good point away from home, you can never moan about a point away at Stoke. Can't help but think we could have won that though, just an unlucky day - handballs, dodgy offside's and at least one penalty denied. We clearly dominated in every measurable way except the score. Ward-Prowse my MOTM; such composed, confident and intelligent passing and frequently creates something out of not a lot. It has been a long time since we've had a better passer of the ball. Credit to Wanyama too though, his best game so far and is getting better each week.
badgerx16 Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Difficult away game, difficult conditions, freak opening 15 seconds. After that we were reasonably composed given the typically robust Stoke approach, were much the better side as we adapted to the wind and continued to play football, and can probably feel a little disappointed not to have won. Wanyama MOM.
Born In The 80s Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Wanyama was a monster but JWP was just sublime. he was my MOTM. Link up play was fantastic and his delivery is second to none.
John Boy Saint Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 We were OK, think Stoke had prepared better for the conditions. Wanyama was MoM, Not too hard considering how exposed the ground is to the weather.
Alain Perrin Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Good point given the conditions and the set back. I'm a glass is half full kind of guy but I am slightly concerned at our lack of clear chance creation. Smacks a bit of Arsenal in their early years under Arsene when they were guilty of taking one touch too many.
Saints foreva Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Good effort in ****e conditions. Shame about the referee's inability to see a handball though.
mulletsaint Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 My worry after that is teams will now have worked out how to breach our defence.
stknowle Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 We were comfortably the better team (again). But for the freaky goal (it's happened before, will happen again) a deserved one nil away from home would have been ours. Oh well, onward and upward.
Norm Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Satisfied, not happy, with the point. If only Gaston had some of WP's drive and effort. Have to be honest, I was surprised he came on.
John Boy Saint Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 My worry after that is teams will now have worked out how to breach our defence. What pray for a windy day and make sure you have a keeper who can kick straight
wadesmith Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 My worry after that is teams will now have worked out how to breach our defence. What...... by getting the goalie to smash it in from his own half?
Sheaf Saint Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Definitely would have taken a point before the game. Thought we could have won the game and were it not for a one-in-a-million freak incident we would have. Played the much better football. Looked calm and composed in most areas, but still lacking that little bit of quality needed to really unlock a defence. As for the penalty shouts? First one would have been harsh cos the defender clearly fell backwards onto the ball and couldn't have avoided it. Second one was nailed-on though. Stoke got their second big slice of luck with that. Aside from the freak goal we looked comfortable at the back and Boruc had very little to do. Made one great save in the second half. Wanyama was absolutely everywhere today and is my MOTM. Every time the ball fell loose in midfield you just knew he would be there to mop up, and I don't remember him giving the ball away like he has been prone to. Still only a point off second place after Chelsea lost. And we are over a quarter of the way through the season now.
Verbal Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Route One just took on a new meaning, even for stoke.
mulletsaint Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 What...... by getting the goalie to smash it in from his own half? I know this place is full of prats but surely you can see I'm joking FFS?!
Batman Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 one for bazza I see norwich are having their 'better' summer signings doing the business for them
scotty Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 My worry after that is teams will now have worked out how to breach our defence. What pray for a windy day and make sure you have a keeper who can kick straight What...... by getting the goalie to smash it in from his own half? :lol:
Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 What...... by getting the goalie to smash it in from his own half? woooosh
JoeShmoe Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Thought Rickie looked well off the pace today, shame Osvaldo couldnt play as feel we might have won Thiught we missed Davis as well but JWP and Big Vic superb

doggface Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Not worried about the defense whatsoever. We are unlikely to play in conditions like that all season. Total freak goal, but the key was our response. Shows character in adversity. Wanyama motm. We were a little sloppy in possesion and gaston gave the ball away way to cheaply again unfortunately. Jwp started a little sloppy but then really came into it. Ref had a poor game I thought and totally bottled the 2nd handball. 1st one would have been v harsh but 2nd was stonewall. Little disappointed we didn't test begovic more. Stoke were just horrid as usual.
verlaine1979 Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 That's two exceptional performances in a row from Wanyama & JWP. Lambert never really got started, so it's a shame Osvaldo wasn't available
Jack Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Good performance, lacked the final ball though. Wanyama immense, Boruc unlucky. Gaston changed the game for us, we completely lost our attacking shape when he came on. Too slow on the ball, again. Trying the really tricky pass every time, again. Frustrating in the end, but still 1 defeat in 10. Win at home next week and we'll still be flying.
Dr. Kucho Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 MOM goes between JWP and Wanyama for me, both were amazing. Got some tough games coming up, Hull (H), Arsenal and Chelsea (A), Villa (H) and City (H). After these games we would have played all the top teams away from home (exeept City).
mulletsaint Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 But you look deadly serious in your profile picture It was sunny, I'm squinting.
St Marco Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 By far the better team. Lot's of neat passing and movement. JWP was my motm, sort of like Beckham cross Scholes. Some quality crosses and passes. Should of had a penalty near the end and again the officials fail to give a decision in our favour. Only negative in my view was Lambo. Didn't hold the ball up or offer anything up front. Maybe was just an off day but I can't see MP being happy with that performance from him. Just looked tired and not with it.
NewYorkSaint Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 How to score against the second best defense in Europe? pray for FREAK WEATHER. There are no easy games in Premier League. Chelsea lose to Newcastle. The only game to beat us this year get hammered 7-0. Many people said Stoke were even better against Man U than we were. So after going down the freak goal to them, a point is OK. BUT what was crystal clear was that Saints much the better team. Even in those conditions, some of the quick passing play was sublime. Wanyama is incredible. It's not just the 50-50 balls that he wins, it's the 30-70 against balls. And JWP is becoming a fantastic game-changer. I don't recall a cross from him that wasn't dangerous. Really exciting to have these two coming good.
mulletsaint Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Err.....so was I! Plum Err.... yeah right.
Toon Saint Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 If you can't win, don't lose. Great character shown to come back from that freak goal - don't think it was Boruc's mistake btw - and as usual, we dominated possession in awful conditions. Wanyama and JWP are improving game by game. Good to see Big Vic tidying up his passing and JWP's delivery is becomingly an increasingly important asset for us. The kid has some future. Would have liked to seen us create a bit more in the second half and given Gaston's lack of appearances, as well as the scrappy nature of the second half, was slightly suprised to see him come on - though perhaps S. Davis' recent injury informed that decision. Still, we are seven unbeaten now and providing we keep Huddleston quiet next week we should be looking to secure a comfortable win.
Saints foreva Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Good performance, lacked the final ball though. Wanyama immense, Boruc unlucky.

Avenue Saint Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 one for bazza I see norwich are having their 'better' summer signings doing the business for them Exactly!
bristolsaint29 Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 Messy game. Probably should have had at least one pen but a point is a point. Wanyama MOM for me. And there was me thinking Wanyama was **** according to the oracles here!
Glasgow_Saint Posted 2 November, 2013 Posted 2 November, 2013 We looked rattled after the goal, but regrouped and adapted. Great goal from jrod. Started well 2nd half and were dominating until jrod came off /(or) Gaston came on, seemed odd to change it while we were so on top. Oh well lesson learnt. Could, shoulda and on another day woulda won. Big up waynyama and JWP today, Lovren solid again Boruc
