St Chalet Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Cmon Saints let's see how far we can take this run!
Edmonton Saint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 **** goal to concede that. Forster should be saving that.
allsa001 Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Think Davis has to take the blame for that one
BotleySaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Hazard just so quick. Can't get near him so far.
Saints foreva Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Forster isn't as good as our fan base make out.
OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Early days yet. Plenty of time, we look good so far (apart from the goal). Forum trolls aren't even here yet, we can do this!
verlaine1979 Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 My favorite player, covering himself in glory as he did last week.
Saints Fan Dan Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Forster isn't as good as our fan base make out. Would you rather he have Steklenberg, Davis or Gazzaniga in goal?
Jonnyboy Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Maybe Hoj wouldve been better. Couldve been assigned to man mark Hazard. Hindsight is easy obviously.
Saints foreva Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Would you rather he have Steklenberg, Davis or Gazzaniga in goal? Rather have Boruc.
DuncanRG Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Chelsea happy to sit and counter. Long as we don't have another moment like that from Davis, we'll get into this no problem.
OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Would you rather he have Steklenberg, Davis or Gazzaniga in goal? Even forum fave Niemi conceded goals.
BotleySaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Solid possession so far but they are lethal on the counter.
Saint_Tony Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Think we will dominate and get picked off on the break. Going to be very difficult to get back in this Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
Sheaf Saint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Dreadful goal to concede. You can't give Hazard that kin of space in the box, and Forster needs to do better with a shot like that. But overall we look good so far and don't seem intimidated by Chelsea at all. Reckon we will get chances against their defence. Just need to do better with them than we have been of late.
OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Two good headed chances so far (Austin and VVD) but watching the replay, the Saints player behind both of them was in a better position to head it on goal.
badgerx16 Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Regarding their goal, the best place to put a shot when reasonably close to the keeper is straight between their legs. They tend to have their legs slightly spread to be able to shift their weight to either side, and it's difficult for them to quickly move their feet back in to block the ball.

They tend to have their legs slightly spread to be able to shift their weight to either side, and it's difficult for them to quickly move their feet back in to block the ball. That, and Hazard being one of the top 5 players in the Prem, you'd expect him to give any keeper no chance from there. It was Davis who lost him and left Forster out to dry.
OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Chelsea marshaling us well, we've not managed to spring anyone free in the box yet.
ART Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Was sick of the pro Chelsea commentary on SKYSPOTS 1 and found more pro Saints one at http://www.streamendous.com/ch_a.php?79
Saint Albert Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Pedro was in acres of space for that Chelsea counter. Luckily Hazard picked the wrong man.
BotleySaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 We are really piling forward. Need to play with a bit more caution I think. Got lucky there
Saint Billy Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Game is opening up for Boufal to be a star again.
Saint Pete Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 We are playing OK but we need to get Tadic and Redmond on the ball more around their box. Most of our passing just from side to side in front of them so far, not really threatening.
Batman Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Think we are a little light in midfield, Hoj to come on for Clasie IMO Boufal on for either redmond or Tadic
trousers Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Can someone give Alpine a nudge to post his usual pre-Saints goal doom and gloom remark?
OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 We seem a bit like Arsenal can be at times, trying to work the perfect opening but not really troubling the opposition.
