WealdSaint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Luke Shaw.............what a player, he really came of age tonight
Mattio Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 2 points dropped, if Ricky was fit or Osvaldo wasn't a c*nt, we'd have won, still a good result
adrian lord Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Katerina looked genuinely thrilled at the end.
Pastor Patrón Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 That was fun, we're gonna be sh#t hot if we can get a striker in
T.REX Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Saints turn in a great performance against the league leaders with five academy players playing a part and the first thing said is.. points dropped.
Batman Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 what a great game to watch we look SOOOOOO much better with a striker who is mobile. Sorry to say it regarding Lambert. SG had to have scored that. but with the players we had missing, 2-2 at home to the league leaders, not bad Lallana, Morgan and cork were very good but Shaw, my MoM
skintsaint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Katerina looked genuinely thrilled at the end. Happy that she was going home via Maccas.
NewYorkSaint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 When you back a team that plays football pretty much as entertainingly as it can be played, you have to be happy. That was really terrific tonight. Yeah, we deserved to win. But frankly the points arent' the biggest deal these days. What matters more is that we're building a side capable of truly being one of the best in the world.
igsey Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Katerina looked genuinely thrilled at the end. Hopefully she'll want to splash some cash in the next couple of days! She must have noticed that Yoshida was the weak link at the back and that a top class PL striker would've won that for us.
Manuel Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Tolp class game against the prem leaders. We need more quality up front.....then we knew that already.
badgerx16 Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Points dropped in circumstances Au contraire, one point gained.
Bewildered Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Would have won if not for two moments of comedy defending.
Ewell Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 I thought we played very well particularly in the first half. Luke Shaw and Morgan Schneiderlin were outstanding and young Gallagher looks a decent prospect. He just needs a bit more experience which will come in time.
doc oli Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Another reminder that actually, we're a pretty damned good team.
Easty Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 What a great game to watch, we played the Arsenal way, and out played them all over the pitch. 2 points dropped, but all the same a great game. COYR
Baird of the land Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Shows how far we've come that i'm frustrated we didn't beat them. Hopefully we'll learn to kill teams off when we have the chance in the future. Great performance by the team. Put Fulham to the sword on Saturday by playing with same intensity please.
Badger Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Good result though - who wouldn't have accepted that pre-kick off, and even more so when we went 2-1 down ? Usual problems though - dominate and only score once. We're just too wasteful.
skintsaint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 How much did everyone lose then at the 5/1 for Arsenal to win? Mugs.
pangy Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 2pts dropped SG looks a prospect Cork was awesome .....again,good luck VW J-Rod does not suit the lone role,deffo a inside fwd Yoshida was average
DuncanRG Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 (edited) Great game and a great performance. Ultimately disappointed we couldn't get the win, I thought after the red card we could push on but it's difficult with so few options up top. I think Sczcesny was probably man of the match, but everyone played very well for us. Yoshida a little shakey at times but capable when it mattered. Gallagher looked very lively in his movement until the miss - he was a step behind Mertesacker after that. Congrats to him on his first start though - here's to many more in the future. Edited 28 January, 2014 by DuncanRG
BotleySaint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Anything against the league leaders is points gained. We could have won yes, but we could have lost 4-1 as well.
Olallana Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Well if someone wants to buy Shaw now they might talk about £40m...
trousers Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 How much did everyone lose then at the 5/1 for Arsenal to win? Mugs. £20. Happy to have played my part in securing at least a point
ExSt Peter Saint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Another games we deserved to win, but didn't would be the gloomy version. Great performance, though and I'd rather have academy lads out there playing like that than expensive prima donnas to be honest. Shaw was superb going forward, but both Arsenal goals were scored from sloppy defending down the left - not that it was Luke there at that time.
jampot Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Excellent point, will kick on from here from that perfomance.....
Batman Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 if stoke win at sunderland and west ham lose at chelsea there will be a little gap with the bottom 4 or so
Dalek2003 Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Good result.... 8 more for safety! I am sorry but you have without doubt gone through one of your transformations. BTW if I had made that comment there would be howls of 'troll' from the gallery !
Viking Warrior Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 I can't believe some posts on here . For those knocking yoshida . Who would you put in then ? Lovern is injured . And now J ROd is getting grief . Oh the wisdom of the forum experts
Jonnyboy Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 How much did everyone lose then at the 5/1 for Arsenal to win? Mugs.
doubleonothing Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Would have taken that before kick off, but feel we were unlucky not to win. Thought they might batter us when they went 2-1 up so pleased we showed character to level it up straight away.
St.Patrik Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Must give cred to Chambers - a solid performance again ! And yes it was a straight RED
Pastor Patrón Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Cork was motm for me, Shaw was good attacking but defensively we looked a bit suspect down both wings
DuncanRG Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Worst performance I've seen from Arsenal all season as well. First half was genuinely appalling from them, we should have made more of it.
Jonnyboy Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 I can't believe some posts on here . For those knocking yoshida . Who would you put in then ? Lovern is injured . And now J ROd is getting grief . Oh the wisdom of the forum experts Exactly, I didn't notice Yoshi giving any goals away.
Turkish Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Still unbeaten under Kathrina. The chairwomen to take us to the next level?
Jonnyboy Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Cork was motm for me, Shaw was good attacking but defensively we looked a bit suspect down both wings Love Cork but he really needs to break that duck.
Sheaf Saint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 I'm sat here angry that once again we didn't win a game in which we were so dominant, and then I have to remind myself they are the league leaders. Frustrating because on the balance of play Arsenal didn't really deserve a draw, although you can't really argue about the quality of their second goal. But missed chances and a couple of defensive lapses have, just as in the Sunderland game, cost us two points. Some good performances out there tonight. Shaw was excellent, as was Lallana. Morgan bossed the middle of the park and Cork was everywhere. Steven Davis may not be the most gifted player but he has proved time and time again he will never let us down and put in a poor shift. Have to say I was impressed with Gallagher. Playing against the best (statistically) team in the PL and he didn't look out of place at all. Gave us another attacking dimension that we often lack due to Lambert's immobility. Shame he couldn't convert that decent chance but I won't hold it against him as the spin on the ball from the deflection off Lallana (?) made it very difficult to hit cleanly.
Turkish Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Well if someone wants to buy Shaw now they might talk about £40m... Is his value going to increase by £10m every time he has a good game?
pangy Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 I can't believe some posts on here . For those knocking yoshida . Who would you put in then ? Lovern is injured . And now J ROd is getting grief . Oh the wisdom of the forum experts Yoshida is better then Jos other than that we don't have anyone. Did you watch the game? It is plain to see that J-Rod is better out wide and cutting in than playing the lone role,he is a fantastic player but just doesn't do the lone role well
Patrick Bateman Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Agree with most so far. Definitely 2 points dropped - Arsenal scored one very good goal and one goal we should have prevented and we should have punished them more up front. Gallagher was very good and offered something we've been missing in a fast striker. I really do like Chambers too, especially today - but I think the one thing he needs to improve on is not going that one step/man too far and looking for the right pass earlier. Morgan was MoTM for me - immense, everywhere, bossed the midfield. Fonte, Lallana, Shaw all excellent too, in fact, harsh to really call out anyone as poor tonight. Great match - really enjoyed it, but didn't think I'd be that frustrated that we could have beaten Arsenal (fairly easily) at home!
Olallana Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Is his value going to increase by £10m every time he has a good game? Would scare off any biders, dont you think?
trousers Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Have to say I was impressed with Gallagher. Playing against the best (statistically) team in the PL and he didn't look out of place at all.

Echo that - a very impressive debut.
Rich102 Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Shaw, Chambers, Scheiderlin, Lallana immense. Loved the way Morgan drew Flamini into that horror tackle by beating him twice in front of Wenger.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 2 points dropped but a fabulous performance from a side packed with Academy graduates. The better side for long periods. Much to be proud of and only a couple of top drawer signings away from a real crack at the top 6.
