Saints 0-0 West Ham - Match Thread

[egg]

Our left side is utter shite tonight. Bertrand rarely gives Djenepo the ball, and when he does, you can see why. 

[OttawaSaint]

This is better. 

[BotleySaint]

Long for Adams? Hope it turns out to be a masterstroke...

Dejenepo given ball away so many times

At least he's trying to make stuff happen.

Now Long on for Adams. Not sure that's going to improve things for us TBH.

[OttawaSaint]

Long on for Adams, we’re saved!

[Mr X]

Long wtf!!!

[adrian lord]

Long = white flag. 

[DT]

Shane Long. Seriously. They really must watch different games.

It’s “chicken little“ Darke that’s giving me the shits

[Totton Saint]

Hello Ottowa.

Dd you used to live in the UK? How did you get into the Saints please

 

[OttawaSaint]

Surely we have better than Long?

[CB Fry]

Shane Long is coming on so that means goals goals goals.

Adams has had an awful game tbf

[nta786]

Djenepo running into Long sums it up

[USaint]

0 goals in 18 games and never scored against West Ham. Time for one off your arse please Shane. 

[Viking Saint]

Commentator: "You know what you're going to get with Shane Long" 

Everybody on here: "Yep, fuck all"

Yes, near Andover. My Dad took me to the Dell in 1980. Supporter ever since. Dad was forces so we moved around a bit so I’d go to away games mostly. Moved to Ottawa in 2000.

Who? Adams was having a poor game. Had to change it. Couldn't take Walcott out of his 10 position so not a lot of choice. 

[SonicBoom]

Clinton Morrison saying Shane Long needs to add goals to his game 🙄

Hes 35 Clinton. If he can't do it by now I dont think he's going to change .....

Not arguing that. I agree. He was pretty poor. But surely Armstrong into the hole or Nlundlu up front instead of Long, who was gash in the last game

[Uncle Albert]

I’d rather bring on a youngster over long.

[OttawaSaint]

Good effort Walcott.

Didn’t help

[adrian lord]

Good effort Theo!

[OttawaSaint]

Getting on for 5 hours since we scored a goal that counted.

No N'lundulu on the bench. Walcott playing well, moving him up a bad idea IMHO.

Adams has been frustrating. Puts himself in good positions (which gives you hope), but then his finishing and technique in the final 3rd has been anemic and non-threatening. 

[Mr X]

God this is painful only going to go one way 

[OttawaSaint]

We just look so timid. Can see this finishing 0-2. They get one and we’re finished.

That's loyalty for you  - super!

[trousers]

When was the last time we drew 0-0 two games on the trot...?

[OttawaSaint]

Bertie finally gets to the goal line and produces just about the worst cross possible.

[Viking Saint]

We're offering no threat whatsoever. So many misplaced passes and unforced errors. 

[OttawaSaint]

Why was Long walking back onside, had he been on his toes he would have been clean in.

[Totton Saint]

Why have we gone down hill so suddenly. I never saw the City game but the reports praised us

[SNSUN]

Keep chipping away Saints. Definitely need a moment of magic from someone...

[trousers]

Almost Antonio o'clock...

Sadly, my Dad passed away in March. Saints going top this season was bittersweet because I know he’d have loved that.

[Sheaf Saint]

Antonio coming on soon. Bad omens.

[adrian lord]

Antonio. It is written in the scriptures.

This is similar to the City match. Plenty of neat football and long periods of control but no quality in the final third.

[nta786]

What was Shane Long doing there- the weirdest form of shielding the ball I’d seen

[trousers]

 KWP... Get hold of the shot FFS...

[OttawaSaint]

Need a repeat of when Mane did them in the last minute a few years back...

[OttawaSaint]

We only score when we’re offside, score when we’re offside...score when we’re offfffffside...

[OttawaSaint]

BHA 0-1 ARS

[Sheaf Saint]

What on earth was Djenepo thinking there. Never, ever going to make that tackle.

[BotleySaint]

West Ham taking control. And bringing on their better players now we are tiring. Looking grim.

[SaintTex]

Shots/“Back passes” to their keeper ain’t gonna cut it.
