OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Interesting Puel would rather rest Bertrand than Austin. Austin back to the bench for Inter?
Plastic Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Interesting Puel would rather rest Bertrand than Austin. He runs more
jabei Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 I think we've just come up against a better team than us in virtually every area......doesn't happen that often any more.
DuncanRG Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Austin back to the bench for Inter? Definitely. Don't know who's going to play instead, will Rodriguez or Long be back? Olomola?!
Batman Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Austin scores, ruled out for offside...when you get no luck
trousers Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Austin offside by a knee hair. Bloody great eyesight that lino...
Saint Albert Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 That was a close offside call. Perhaps Austin's knee was ahead of the defender?
OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Austin offside by a knee hair. Bloody great eyesight that lino... Too bad we didn't get that one from a few seasons back that let David Silva stray 5 yards offside against us without flagging.
Chris27687 Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Was offside - we've just played a team who are way more clinical. Couple of £60-80m players will do that.
Sheaf Saint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 (edited) Need a Pelle up front Nah, the clocks have gone back now. He only scores during BST. Edited 30 October, 2016 by Sheaf Saint
DuncanRG Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 (edited) Was offside - we've just played a team who are way more clinical. Couple of £60-80m players will do that. More than clinical - they're just better and almost always outsmart us. If we'd taken our chances ruthlessly we'd still be losing 2-1. Edited 30 October, 2016 by DuncanRG
Convict Colony Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Chelsea have played like Leicester last season, sit back and get on the counter, fair play they have been better than us today, their quality in the last 3rd of the pitch is just better than ours.
Norm Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 We lost to the far better side, no shame there. On to the next.
Wopper Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 No wonder our best players cant wait to leave.
OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Had a feeling it'd go this way. All those articles one the Saints FB page. Martina - pleased with his chance, Puel's rallying call etc.
Plastic Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 We lost to the far better side, no shame there. On to the next. Yep
CB Fry Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Had a feeling it'd go this way. All those articles one the Saints FB page. Martina - pleased with his chance, Puel's rallying call etc. If we hadn't published any articles on our website or on social media we'd have battered them.
simo Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 No wonder our best players cant wait to leave. Sack the board!
OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 If we hadn't published any articles on our website or on social media we'd have battered them. LOL. No I mean, we were getting ahead of ourselves. Too much back slapping by the team and coaches. No worries, reset and get another run going.
DuncanRG Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 LOL. No I mean, we were getting ahead of ourselves. Too much back slapping by the team and coaches. No worries, reset and get another run going. Puel: We've done okay lately but we're still a bit **** Redmond: Don't fancy our chances, to be honest Martina: We don't do throw-ins in Curacao
alpine_saint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 We lost to the far better side, no shame there. On to the next. The shame is that Chelsea went forwards over the summer and we have gone backwards due to complacency
Convict Colony Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 That was a "good" loss and alpine is a numpty
USA SaintsFan Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 The shame is that Chelsea went forwards over the summer and we have gone backwards due to complacency Not that big of an accomplishment that they improved on a mid table finish.
Saint Albert Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Chelsea are an expensively-assembled team that is on a tear right now. The better team won so I can't complain. We made far too many defensive mistakes today and Chelsea took advantage of two of them. Martina, Davies and Clasie all had poor games. We had some really good spells of possession particularly in the first half but I can only think of two half-chances involving headed misses by Austin.
Pamplemousse Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 We will beat Inter Milan and then we will beat Hull. 6 points guaranteed.
trousers Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 (edited) The shame is that Chelsea went forwards over the summer and we have gone backwards due to complacency How come you waited until after today's game to post that observation, rather than, say, last week after our 1-1 away to Man City? Yours, curiously.... (bite_count = bite_count + 1) Edited 30 October, 2016 by trousers
striker Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 I thought Chelsea played really well. They outplayed us in the midfield and that was the difference. I can't blame the defense for either goal really. I though VVD, Fontes, and Austin all played well. Redmond was pretty invisible. Too bad on Austin's goal, could have easily not be called offsides. However again, this match was won by Chelsea not lost by us.
CB Fry Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 The shame is that Chelsea went forwards over the summer and we have gone backwards due to complacency You've been desperate for us to lose haven't you. Have a Lion bar you fat, snivelling idiot.
DuncanRG Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Can I just say that Chelsea weren't clinical today - if they were it would have been four, maybe five, and they definitely should have scored from the Moses rebound. We didn't get the chance to prove whether we were clinical or not as Austin's header was our only good chance. Ho-hum. We don't usually let Chelsea defeats get us down so let's hope we're back at it on Thursday. However again, this match was won by Chelsea not lost by us. Fair way of putting it, though we played into their hands with the early mistake.
Micky Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 The shame is that Chelsea went forwards over the summer and we have gone backwards due to complacency It could be argued that we have only gone backwards because of our success in spotting, buying, and developing world class players year in year out. Name me one other club that has progressed at the same rate that we have over the last 7 - 8 years. Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

red&white56 Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 The shame is that Chelsea went forwards over the summer and we have gone backwards due to complacency How do you arrive at the conclusion that club has been complacent, as opposed to just being outplayed??
Convict Colony Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 You've been desperate for us to lose haven't you. Have a Lion bar you fat, snivelling idiot. Lion bar I forgot about those do they still exist?
saintsmike25 Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Alpine in overreaction horror. Yes Chelsea always "go forwards" they have a mountain of money to spend and world-class players - some that can't even get in their match day squad. Can you explain how we are supposed to compete with that on a long-term basis? - Simply put we can't and although Leicester had a stunning season last season, it will be very much a "flash in the pan" as the top sides quickly regain their foothold on the PL and we will battle it out to be the best of the rest. I don't know why we tamper our expectations so high, Europa League is the best we can hope for barring a miracle, we are a very good side but we have to be exceptional to beat sides like Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Tottenham etc - today we just weren't.
david in sweden Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Martina is a joke of a defender he's doing his best, but when you consider there is no other credible option.....what would you have done ?
DuncanRG Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Jamie Redknapp (Sky Sports): "Chelsea beat a very good Southampton side" I appreciate the sentiment behind posting this but Redknapp's wisdom has been dubious today. He referred to Moses, a 25 y/o Nigerian, as "young English talent" and said the following when asked pre-match how we might trouble Chelsea: Southampton play so narrow, and the Chelsea back three won't want to be dragged out wide. Figure that one out!
Wopper Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 How can you win a game with a bandy legged goalkeeper.
Saint_clark Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Van Dijk and Romeu the only two who looked like matching Chelsea today. No shame in losing this - Chelsea were exceptional, discounting the cheating.
Saint Albert Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 (edited) I agree with this a more clinical Chelsea side could have put 4 in, I'm thinking particularly of the first half giveaway by Clasie and Forster's second half calamity, which should have been punished for a goal. Romeu bailed him out eventually. Edited 30 October, 2016 by Saint Albert I agreed with the wrong quote. I am obviously a numpty.
Batman Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 well beaten by a very good, excellently drilled Chelsea side. they didnt really put a foot wrong Rom, VvD and Fonte our best players Martina was a joke and Clasie with davis were run ragged. at least Martina never did a foul throw
Saints foreva Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Chelsea by far the best side we've played this season. The midfield got bullied, how does Clasie start over Hojbjerg?
trousers Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Chelsea by far the best side we've played this season. The midfield got bullied, how does Clasie start over Hojbjerg? Because he had a good game against City last week and Hojbjerg is lined up to start vs Milan in 4 days?
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 (edited) Forster doing a great impression of Marcel Marceau most of the game. As for Martina, is he the new Ali Dia FFS!!! Edited 30 October, 2016 by SOTONS EAST SIDE

Winnersaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 The shame is that Chelsea went forwards over the summer and we have gone backwards due to complacency Welcome back Alps, hope your absence from the board recently hasn't been due to illness or anything nasty like that.2
