trousers Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 We're first to most 50/50 balls thus far today. Vive La difference...
Batman Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 HT big difference, change in formation and loads more pressing 2 mobile forwards up top (with mane central) makes so much difference not giving their midfield a great deal of room. Clasie very good IMO
trousers Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Great first half. But will the Saintsweb Forum intelligentsia remember that at full time, regardless of the scoreline?
nta786 Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 You don't get two better chances in this league than palace and now that. I really hate watching Long. Finishing just abysmal and it costs us. FFS! Feel sorry for Juanmi and Seager. Oh for JRod of 18 months ago! I don't think Juanmi would've made the chance. If Long could finish the guy would be worth £30m+. He doesn't have the technique.

Saint Without a Halo Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 So is Martina off to Liverpool like clyne then!
Batman Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Its almost as if the last hour of warm up thread didn't happen... never doubted martina
Jarakka Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 I am really starting to feel we are the Crystal Palace to Arsenal's Liverpool. Knocking wood though, still 45 minutes to go...
Sheaf Saint Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Long's finishing really is shockingly bad. He shouldn't be anywhere near the Prem IMO. Champ standard striker at best. Just how any professional striker can make such a pigs ear of the chances he gets amazes me.
Pamplemousse Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Wayne Thomas scored a goal like that once. He was still shíte.
St.JonB Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 If Long could finish he wouldn't be playing for us....
Batman Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 If Long could finish he wouldn't be playing for us.... sorry, but that is rubbish its like any striker who could finish would not be playing for us, but they are
Plastic Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 sorry, but that is rubbish its like any striker who could finish would not be playing for us, but they are Who?
nta786 Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 sorry, but that is rubbish its like any striker who could finish would not be playing for us, but they are When we say 'can finish', basically- we say- if he was a 20+ PL goalscorer. Usually they come from the top 6 clubs (though Vardy/Mahrez this season may well be an exception)
trousers Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 never doubted martina Wasn't specifically referring to yourself sir

Usually they come from the top 6 clubs (though Vardy this season is an exception) you dont need to be a 20+ striker to put one of the chances earlier and at palace away
davesaint Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 7 minutes. Long. 3 offsides. Having said that, all he needs is that one run timed perfectly for a goal. Sorry forgot to include original.....
nta786 Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 you dont need to be a 20+ striker to put one of the chances earlier and at palace away No of course you don't, but finishing chances like that would go a long way to increasing your PL Goal Tally.
Batman Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 if you were an arsenal fan, you would kind of hope they matched us in 442-ish they have far more pace out wide yet trying to work the ball in from wide positions
Edmonton Saint Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Cuco Martina and Southampton now trending worldwide on twitter.. The dream is real..
trousers Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Just put a wedge on Arsenal to win or pull it back to a draw. Thank me later...
Jonnyboy Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Just got back from Longleat and seen the scoreline and the scorer!! Laughing out loud having read how bad Martina is in the match build up thread. How have he/we been?
trousers Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 P.s. anyone know why those that were most critically vociferous in the build up thread aren't posting at the moment? Yours curiously...
Batman Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Just got back from Longleat and seen the scoreline and the scorer!! Laughing out loud having read how bad Martina is in the match build up thread. How have he/we been? pretty dogged. 442-ish, pretty narrow, lots of pressing and getting the ball forward early
Mr X Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Just got back from Longleat and seen the scoreline and the scorer!! Laughing out loud having read how bad Martina is in the match build up thread. How have he/we been? dont wont to speak to soon but weve been 100% better than against spurs
Saint Billy Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 P.s. anyone know why those that were most critically vociferous in the build up thread aren't posting at the moment? Yours curiously... I am and still will be, game not over yet.
Edmonton Saint Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Long gets booked for nothing first half. Koscielny gets away without a warning for a blatant foul.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Virgil heads in for 2-0 but the flag is up. Still only 1-0.
adrian lord Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Officials very pro-Arsenal Nasty niggling slant to the game. Arsenal playing dirty.
BotleySaint Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Ref totally inconsistent today. Somehow Koscielny remains unbooked.
trousers Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 I am. The exception that proves the rule...
BotleySaint Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Arsenal would get that all day long. Sadly true. They are very pro Arsenal today. But we are bound to think that
Saint Without a Halo Posted 26 December, 2015 Posted 26 December, 2015 Fonte was offside not van Dyck TV shows clearly
