Saints vs Spurs - Match Thread

[Lighthouse]

Some thing something, COYR, bad gateway 0-1 already FFS etc.

[Archers Road Stand]

Stop playing that fucking high line. 

[HarvSFC]

That was very fucking lucky. Very tight offside, absolute shite defending from all four, imagine leaving Kane unmarked in the box.

[Yorkshire Saint]

Hopefully lesson learnt with that offside goal. High line does not work .... seriously Ralph 

[nta786]

Very lucky indeed.
 

It was offside by the law of course so MLG will suggest that there is no luck involved. 
But whether we like the law is indeed a completely different debate.

It is crazy what confidence does to a team. Get to 0-0 half time please, and use the disallowed goal as a reprieve.

any streams?

It’s a fkin insane tactic with any defence let alone one as average as ours

[Lighthouse]

Who had 6 minutes in the clumsy Romeu pointless booking sweepstake?

I wonder if we'll actually make an early sub for once and take Romeu off before he's sent off.

[West Stand]

The BT commentary is so Spurs biased

...same again there with Son. We are sitting ducks to concede goals with this tactic and the lack of pace + awareness of Stephens and Bednerak. I can understand it with more experience or pace or a DCM with more mobility than Romeu but until we have those players then it appears suicidal 

[Viking Saint]

Anyone got a decent stream? 

[BotleySaint]

Adams looking very bright so far this season. Not sure there was much ings could do about the handball.

[Master Bates]

Should have scored

[DG]

Now thats more like it.

[Wsaint]

Stephens faffing around at the back just play the fucking ball

[NewYorkSaint]

I'll say it. Saints build up play today has been sensational.  Absolutely blistering pace.  So exciting to see.

[danjosaint]

No good when we get caught playing ridiculous high line

[LGTL]

This has been better so far, deserve to be ahead

[BotleySaint]

Playing some great football. But every time spurs come forward they score. Fortunately offsides in our favour so far.

[Lighthouse]

Hey, a ball net thing!

[NewYorkSaint]

What. A. Goal!

[DG]

And there it is, a much deserved lead.

[Yorkshire Saint]

How many passes was that goal ?

Hojbjerg looks lost 

[NewYorkSaint]

Walker Peters' pass a thing of absolute beauty. Ings control and strike from no angle incredible.

Not working for me

[Lighthouse]

Hojbjerg trending on Tw*tter and not because they all love his tattoos.

[DG]

Ffs

[Gingeletiss]

Keepers fault...should of come for that.

[Archers Road Stand]

Shite from McCarthy. 

[DT]

McCarthy is utter tripe. Absolutely awful. 

[Lord Duckhunter]

Fucking centre midfielders both put fanny attempts at a tackle, then the keepers too deep, he should have cleaned that up. 

[DG]

McCarthy is utter tripe. Absolutely awful. Come off your line and boot it into touch come

[Lighthouse]

Well, there’s the predictable saints injury time equaliser in a half we dominated, so we can lose it in the 85th minute.

 

Honestly, if Saints made a porno it’d just be 3 minutes of socks on missionary.

You could hear the shout from Ralph "Come on Alex". He started coming then backed off and didn't get in the right position o left too much room towards the far post.

He dithered and got stuck in two minds. If we are going to persist with such a high line any keeper we use will need to be playing as a 'sweeper keeper'.

[danjosaint]

Funking bullshit high line , Ralph seriously needs a word with himself absolute shit game management 

[northam soul]

That’s what happens when you play a high line with two centre backs who can’t run

What a pleasant analogy 😂😂😂

[Turkish]

Typical saints. On top and give away a goal.

 

Played well first half, spurs can’t posssibly be that bad in the second though. 

[saintwbu]

That was the effect of having both CM’s on yellows, Ward Prowse would’ve hauled down N’Dombele any other game, but ref gave him a shit yellow. McCarthy poor for that goal. 

[Kingsbridge Saint]

McCarthy. 3 shots. Ball in the back of the net 3 times. Does he do saves?

[saintwbu]

On the plus side Che Adams looking absolutely superb, Ings sharp, Djenepo dangerous. 

[DG]

Incoming 2nd half red card and collapse? Prove me wrong please Saints.

 

 

[qwertyell]

Both a bit unlucky to be level, and a bit fortunate (that high line is a disaster waiting to happen, VAR won't keep saving us).

Playing miles better than last week. Djenepo's been more lively than Redmond has been in months.

Got a problem in CM now both Romeu and Prowse are on bookings. They couldn't foul again and that led to Spurs'equaliser. That and McCarthy being awful. One of them isn't going to last the 90.

Good thing we've got no other midfielders in the squad...

[Wade Garrett]

Indecision - a cardinal sin for a keeper.
