Brighton vs Saints - Match Thread

[Saints4Prem]

Yes and arguing with the ref and pointing at him

[Saint_clark]

Did we warm up properly? The players look so rigid.

Also can I just say

But we havent won our last 14 games on a Monday

Clearly there is something in it- do we historically get our preparation wrong?

 

EDIT: yep last time we won on Monday in PL was December 2002.

Wow the commentators just mentioned it- are they reading this thread? 
i think he just called me a conspiracist.

[Mr X]

Worst half from us for some time

Was that the last minute Beattie winner at West Ham?

[BotleySaint]

Djenpo lost confidence now. Needs to be withdrawn 

[jasonb]

I felt they looked off the pace last week too. I'm still thinking about Ralph's comment before the Wolves game regarding levels and that the team would need to work hard to get back to pre-international-break levels. 

No idea why they have fallen as much as they have.

Yep. The lad is having a shocker. Take him off before he's sent off. 

[Saint_clark]

Why foul him there Djenepo you fucking moron???? He's running it out of play!

Get Redmond on for Djenepo at HT. Pointless having him on, he's awful and will likely get a red on about 60 mnutes anyway. 

Expand  

Will wait until we are 2 down.

[obelisk]

I'd get Djenepo off now. We need to keep 11 men on the pitch.

[adrian lord]

I don’t buy this notion that a 10 day international break can result in a catastrophic collapse of fitness in the entire squad

[Saint_clark]

Literally forgot Walcott was playing till just then.

[Saint Billy]

A lot of balls being aimlessly pumped up front and wasted.

Correct that is the one

[OttawaSaint]

It's the Saints cycle. Play total shit, lose late goals, gradually get better, win a point or two, then go on win streak, start strutting around like they own the place, lose badly, go on winless streak, can barely score, snatch a point...

[adrian lord]

Djenepo Looking like the classic YouTube purchase

[Saint_clark]

We're so weak, easily shrugged off the ball at the moment. 

[OttawaSaint]

Wow, great cross Moussa, if Wallcott was just a few feet taller eh? He might as well just get his head down and go down in the box.

[Danbert]

Djenepo is a liability

[washsaint]

Djeneppo, rightly, getting a load of grief but very little said about Armstrong.  HIs performance has been disgusting - absolutely abysmal.

[Saint_clark]

Vestergard, KWP and possibly Romeu the only ones looking with it at the moment. Everyone else playing massively sub par.

[Lighthouse]

We’ve been on the pre-match temazepam again.

[OttawaSaint]

So fucking sloppy, have we managed 3 passes in a row yet?

[Saint_clark]

Yessssssss Vestergard!

[nta786]

GET IN THERE JANNIK

[Jimmy_D]

GERRRRRRIN!

[OttawaSaint]

Vessssst!!!!

[trousers]

Boom!!

[Viking Saint]

And we've now gone to lumping long balls forward... Wtf is going on? Has Hughes made a comeback in the dugout?? 

[Lighthouse]

The least deserved equaliser in football history. 😆

[Sheaf Saint]

It's a Vestergooooooaaalllll!

[BotleySaint]

Header! Totally undeserved. Vest saves us.

[OttawaSaint]

You can thank me for not putting him in my FPL.

[Lighthouse]

[Jimmy_D]

Uh Ref... that was our throw?

[jasonb]

Get in. Defo got a bit better last 10

[Yorkshire Saint]

Boom. Undeserved but let's hope we build from that in the second half. Our front line is non existent...

[obelisk]

Good time to score. Going in level after that first half is a bonus.

But the ref's giving Brighton everything.

[DG]

What a header. So undeserved.

[Mr X]

Good header! That aside very poor 

[OttawaSaint]

Now for a Ralph rocket. Great header Vest but the rest of the team are having a case of the Armstrongs...

He's given every soft freekick and 50/50 decision to them.

[trousers]

Vestergaard looking very VvD-esque in that half. Possibly our only shining light 

[obelisk]

A bit more work on defending wide free kicks might be in order.

[gammon cheeks]

Ings  and Redmond on 2nd half please .......

[whelk]

We were better towards the end. Great goal. 
we have been poor but they are too. There for the taking. Redmond for Djenpo please.

[S-Clarke]

Not entirely sure we deserve to be 1-1, apart from the final 5-10 mins, we have been utterly diabolical. I'll certainly take 1-1.

Playing with 9 men really. Less said about Moussa and Armstrong the better, shockers - both of them.

Adams and Walcott totally isolated because of the lack of anything from Armstrong or Moussa.

Good goal to go in on, but christ - so much to improve on. Would certainly sub one of Moussa or Armstrong.
