Shroppie Posted 26 December, 2019 Share Posted 26 December, 2019 Sky has our passing accuracy at 63% (Chelsea 81%) Didnt feel like that watching it today. Felt our ball retention and accuracy was v good todayWe got our goals by being brave and trying the difficult passes. When you play like that, your success rate goes down but threat increases as long as you're set up to work hard to win the ball back when the adventurous pass doesn't come off.

Chez Posted 26 December, 2019 Share Posted 26 December, 2019 The Redmond finished 'team' goal started when, despite being isolated upfield against 2 defenders, he won a throw in level with the Chelsea penalty box. Bertrand took the throw and something like 18 passes later, and involving most of the Saints outfield players, the ball was in the Chelsea net. Great point. It was excellent play by Adams and those little things add up in the end. His hold up play is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 26 December, 2019 Share Posted 26 December, 2019 Finally a result where we play well for the full game. Something to be proud of and gives real faith that we can kick on and pick up more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donatello Posted 26 December, 2019 Share Posted 26 December, 2019 Cracking result. Stephens MOTM for me, which is something I wouldn't have thought I'd be saying any time soon. Armstrong channeling his inner-Steven Davis is great/exciting to see Not to mention his inclusion seems to be giving us an extra body in the centre of the park at times.

SaveloyMush Posted 26 December, 2019 Share Posted 26 December, 2019 As well as Armstrong (who I have been touting all season) mention should go to McCarthy. It is no coincidence that Saints' performances have been much more assured since he replaced Gunn. The big man commands his area, positions himself well and exudes confidence, which feeds in to the defenders. He is agile for his size, too. Fair enough, he didn't have much to do today, but his ongoing contribution should be recognised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 26 December, 2019 Share Posted 26 December, 2019 Brilliant performance. Armstrong, JWP and Stephens were immense. Everyone played really well, even Cedric and Hoj!

I got Amazon Prime only by mistake last Saturday when I ordered a book, was going to cancel but realised it was a free trial for month. Saw some the early stages but then switched over SSN and we scored, so ‘watched’ the remainder via Jeff Stelling and co. I knew Chelsea would score if I went back to Amazon.......

Saint Fan CaM Posted 26 December, 2019 Share Posted 26 December, 2019 Really top class effort by all the team...and Ralph did his homework and despite my misgivings, Obefemi was great and Adams was a competent foil. MOTM for me was Armstrong...absolutely bossed the midfield and showed himself to be a real playmaker. JWP had one of his better games. Hojberg is still making some poor errors. Don’t let anyone say Chelsea were poor other than to also say Saints made them look poor. Fine result and for once the Christmas period is looking to be one we can celebrate.

Shroppie Posted 26 December, 2019 Share Posted 26 December, 2019 (edited) That's 12 points from the last 6 matches and, but for a wrongly disallowed goal and some poor finishing, should have been at least 14. Follow it up with two decent home games now with a minimum of 3-4 points (I'd probably take two draws, but we should do better) and I'll really feel the corner has been turned. Just need our home crowd to appreciate the improvement, get behind the team and makes some positive noise!

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 26 December, 2019 Share Posted 26 December, 2019 I think Jack Stephens deserves praise. The guy has got a load of abuse this season but he has come back into the team and done his talking on the pitch. Those that slagged him should be feeling a tad embarrassed right now. He was immense today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Give it to Ron Posted 26 December, 2019 Share Posted 26 December, 2019 (edited) Happy for Obefemi, thought Adams looked promising. Would rather either over Long. Finally a result to be proud of. Team played well. Armstrong showed what we miss and wish Prowse was capable of. Another nothing game for Prowse. Redmond's poor decision making was saved after Armstrong did all the hard work and gifted it to him. Defence was solid other than Cedric belting it up field and losing possession constantly. Chelsea couldn't get it together but felt we deserved it. Could have had more if Redmond was smarter. Good confidence booster for us. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Were you actually watching ? I am no JWP fan but he was very very good today a stat just came out that he made more tackles today against a top 6 side than any other player this season. In short your wrong.

He was immense today. I know you like to see the best in our young players and I honestly find that admirable but up until literally the last two games Stephens has been consistently substandard. I wouldn’t say I’ve slated him but I’m a frequent critic and I don’t feel embarrassed. Fair play if he has a good game and long may it continue but it does nothing to change the last three years.

bpsaint Posted 26 December, 2019 Share Posted 26 December, 2019 Amazing result for us - maybe, just maybe it’s time to look up the table rather than behind us.
