Saints 3 West Ham 2 - Match & Reactions

[jasonb]

Set up Gabbiadini and won the penalty - give it up.

 

I give the assist to Redmond but I could be wrong?

[Sheaf Saint]

Just seen the first half highlights. How can Arnautovic have the nerve to complain about the red card. He knew exactly what he was doing. Eyes on Stephens instead of on the ball. Cynical and blatant.

 

The Tadic one was clumsy but not intentional so yellow was probably the right call. And Noble never seems to get penalised for those awful tackles.

[Saint Albert]

Three words: thank you Jose!

 

I'd love to know what the West Ham supporters are thinking of him right now.

 

The red card incident was sickening the way Stephens' neck bent. That was an assault.

 

Mason having a mare generally but at least got the pen right.

Yup, agree with all this. Noble should've had a red for the studs-up challenge. Or at least a yellow - I suppose he wasn't '2 feet off the ground'.

http://buffstream.com/watch/soccer-3.php really good stream that my friend is using

 

Does'nt seem to last longer than two seconds for me.

[obelisk]

Saints passing in midfield continues to be ordinary.

[Plumstead_Saint]

Bloody hell - Forster actually caught the ball!

Glad to see Fonte still giving away penalties

[Convict Colony]

cedric is poor at shooting

[OttawaSaint]

Cedric's shooting is putrid. Another great move.

[5string]

Coaches say when shooting you should 'pass it into the goal'.

Cedric should 'cross' it into the goal!

 

Ooh, FF save from a Saints defender! Come on, Saints, get on it!

[obelisk]

Have Saints defence won anything in the air yet?

Also, why 11 back for a corner against 10?

[Batman]

another header lost in the middle of our box from that throw

they are hardly the biggest of players

 

could have been a penalty. would have been harsh

[Bad Wolf]

WTF is going on?!

[5string]

Never a pen for the Stephens 'handball'. Arm in natural position, hardly moved, hit his chest at the same time.

Good call, ref.

[farawaysaint]

WTF is going on?!

 

Usual nerves after conceding and oppo resurgence. If they don't score in the next 10mins or so we will start to dominate again.

[OttawaSaint]

I would have been upset if we didn't get a pen for that handball. We desperately need a 3rd goal.

The ball travelled so far and deep that a stupid person might expect a 6' 7" goalkeeper to come and help his teammates out...

is that was they never won the ball, again?

Agree, but have seen them given (e.g. At Anfield last season!) Wasn't clear cut.

[5string]

When counting 'shots' for the match stats, do they include penalties?

 

Ooh, close from Gabbi.

[Ohio Saint]

nice sot from Gabbi

[Batman]

that's a shot from Gabbi. off the bar

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhhh Gabi, crossbar. His body shape looked a bit Le Tissieresque as he hit that!

[Convict Colony]

2 games hit the woodwork twice - Gabbi going for a record this season

[5string]

Nice effort from Tadic - good save from Hart.

[OttawaSaint]

After getting over his nerves Lemina has played really well.

Poor give away just now

[obelisk]

Lemina off. Ward-Prowse on please.

[Ohio Saint]

Im having an Alpine moment. We wont win this.

[5string]

JWP getting ready to come on... for....

 

Lemina

[Batman]

free kick to west ham

will we win the defensive header?

 

nope, headed over

[striker]

Lemina off. Ward-Prowse on please.

 

You called it, here he comes.

[doddisalegend]

Listening to this on a radio London channel off the BBC the two tatters are right cocks took me ages to figure out who Batron was....

[Bad Wolf]

JWP getting ready to come on... for....

 

Lemina

 

He's not had a bad game by any means but not the most impressive debut I've ever seen.

[5string]

Lemina off. Ward-Prowse on please.

 

Ta-daa! Your wish is Saints' command.

[Convict Colony]

happy with lemina, added height in midfield and great effort today against invariable the dirtiest team he will face in this league, will need a few games to get 90mins in his legs.

[obelisk]

Saints almost certainly need a third here but the attacking build up is rubbish. The final shot is worse.

[Saint Albert]

Antonio being subbed off. Best West Ham player by a mile.

If only, eh?

[Edmonton Saint]

Redmond poor again today.

[striker]

Boy we've done nothing offensively this half

[Bad Wolf]

Redmond poor again today.

 

Thought he had a good first half.

[5string]

All a bit stagnant at the moment. Ok, it suits us, but a 3rd goal for us would be more comfy.

 

Right, corner, 20 mins to go. This is the time...

 

... "rarely see a bad JWP corner"! FFS!! Haha. Was ok, but no goal.

[Suhari]

Glad I'm not the only one!

[Ohio Saint]

Yoshida doing us proud

[5string]

FFS!!!

 

2-2

[Ohio Saint]

2-2... crap!!!

[OttawaSaint]

Tabernac. 2-2.

[adrian lord]
