Secret Site Agent Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 well thats it. Ralph living with 1-0
Østerrike Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 We should have 3 points out of 2 games, but dropped 2 points gainst Arsenal, not a shame to lose vs. City
trousers Posted 19 December, 2020 Author Posted 19 December, 2020 Surprised that Diallo hasn't had any game time given he'll be replacing Romeu next week.
Saint_clark Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Time for a lucky slating. Ward Prowse is overrated, gave us absolutely nothing all game. 1
OttawaSaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Good move, unlucky. Our best Nathan... 1

nta786 Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 This has been beyond frustrating- any other ref and I think we’d have got something 1
moonraker Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Deserve at least a draw, Theo and Vest have been superb. 3
Saint_clark Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Never should have signed Walcott again, atrocious performance from him. 3
OttawaSaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 City defenders have been fouling like crazy, pushes in the back while heading. Too bad Dean’s on their payroll, a free kick in JWPs office would be very welcome.
trousers Posted 19 December, 2020 Author Posted 19 December, 2020 Ings would still be tearing all over the field, defending as well as attacking, at this stage of the game. Tella not displaying the same levels of tenacity unfortunately.
Mr X Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 McCarthys distribution is what lets his game down
Whitey Grandad Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 We’re playing for a 0-1 defeat here.

Saint Billy Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 All this fucking about with ball at the back when we are chasing the game is frustrating to say the least.
trousers Posted 19 December, 2020 Author Posted 19 December, 2020 Townsend gives MotM to Vestergaard. Fair play.
OttawaSaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 We’ve come a long way. Disappointed in a draw at the Emirates vs a bus parking Arse and now 1-0 to a world class team that have been time wasting since about 65 minutes. It’s frustrating to get 1 point from 6 but we’re much much better these days. 1
OldNick Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 what a bunch of ungrateful moaners we have. Thankfully the stadium isnt full if you lot on here are anything to go by 3
BotleySaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 5 mins added. Come in lads, one last push!

OttawaSaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 That was a shocking challenge by B Silva. No card...

John Boy Saint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Bloody Redmond bloody backwards play puts Saints on the back foot 1
OttawaSaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Difference, a world class move and finish vs us with two teenagers up front... 1
trousers Posted 19 December, 2020 Author Posted 19 December, 2020 Deserved a draw there and a win versus Arsenal wouldn't have been an unfair result. We're a whisker away from being 'the real deal'. So near, yet so far...
obelisk Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Saints deserved something from that but - oh what the hell?
BotleySaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Just now, OttawaSaint said: Difference, a world class move and finish vs us with two teenagers up front... We need better quality on the bench. But with our limited budget it's not realistic.
Edmonton Saint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Just now, OttawaSaint said: Difference, a world class move and finish vs us with two teenagers up front... Tella is 21. Already at the age that he should be making an impact if he is good enough, i don't think he is.
OttawaSaint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 You just know that the handball by Sterling if done by a Saints player in our box then Dean would have had no hesitation pointing to the spot. I know it hit his leg but what’s his arm doing there? Preventing Bertrand getting the ball, that’s what.

Ok, so they may have scored a couple at the death when we pushed men on, but overall we looked incredibly secure and composed. Very pleased with that display. I never like losing, but it certainly takes the edge off the pain when the display is as good as that. Far better than midweek. Cant wait for the next game. Don't always feel like that. Haven't felt like that for a while. 1

The lucky break in front of goal didn't fall for us today. We move on to the next one on Boxing Day Vestergaard my man of the match today - he was immense again today:) Edited 19 December, 2020 by davefizzy14

To have a side like City time wasting, running down the clock and corner-flagging might not have won us any points but it showed how much we are respected.
Toadhall Saint Posted 19 December, 2020 Posted 19 December, 2020 Thought we played well enough to get a draw. Ref gave us nothing apart from a couple of yellows.
