Saint_clark Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 THE REF GAVE A THROW IN AND THEB LET THEM TAKE THE CORNER WHEN THEY SET UP FOR IT.
BotleySaint Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Did he just kick the defender there to win it back?
Sheaf Saint Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 That was a blatant foul on KWP then should have been a throw not a corner. 2
Jimmy_D Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Decent half there, slightly disappointing we didn't take a chance to make it 2-0 though
Saint_clark Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Why do players cover their mouths when they're talking? What could they possibly be saying to each other than they don't want lip read?
Sheaf Saint Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Well we've won the first half. Do we get any points for that?
Kingsland Codger Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Well done, our lads. A great first-half performance. 1
davefizzy14 Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Great 1st half that topped off by a wonder goal from a special player
obelisk Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Play the ball in behind their back four earlier. Delaying the pass is causing the runners to be caught offside. Saints doing ok though.

Baird of the land Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Glad half time came, Liverpool we’re starting to build up a head of steam. excellent first half marred by djenepo injury just as he was showing what he is capable of.
Manuel Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Excellent work. Nice to see Tella on. Pity he didn't take his chance but looking good...

AlexLaw76 Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 We have played well and defended intelligently. I do worry that Liverpool players have worked out how to get around us. Towards the end, we were seeing early diagonals, which quickly creates 2-on-1s against us due to our wide players tucking in. I think we could improve by doing the same thing against liverpool. We should release the ball early, given we have some pace up top
Jimmy_D Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 That's a properly special finish from Ings for that goal... IF he meant it!

sydney_saint Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 I totally bottled the last few minutes. Watching on a stream and ended up looking up whether we had made it through to half time. Fortunately the side has more bottle than me. Lots of good performances throughout the side. Nearly everyone playing at a minimum of 7/10. Special mention to JWP who really is a fantastic player. Breaking up moves, calm passing, even winning headers. Also think the ref is doing okay. Apart from that clustofuck of a decision at the end to give a corner (reckon both him and the assistant took their eye off it) which I think was an innocent mistake, I think he doing a good job. Given a couple of bookings to Liverpool which most refs wouldn't. A couple of freekicks I would have given, but I'm also very biased. If he keeps this up, we stand a chance. And yes, it is a pathetic, but sad state of affairs that to beat a big side we need a strong ref. Big half coming up. Our second halves have been atrocious too often.
HKsaint Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Mane is more muscular than he was in Southampton, and so he is a bit slower than before. Forster is able to land faster than he was.
Chez Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Decent half for us with some good opportunities created and not too many against. Boy did we run around a lot, chasing everything hard. A bit headless chicken at times, but it worked. That massive effort worries me as we will tire and space will open up, but better us go for it from the get go than sit back and let them pick us apart in their own time. We need to use subs wisely in the second half, not helped by a lack of experience on the bench. I missed the build up. Where is Adams and Romeu?
bpsaint Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 As much as I’d have loved Tella to score I am glad we’re going in 1-0 up and not 2-0, been a Saints fan for far too long to know how it ends. 1
Convict Colony Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 If walcott can stop hesitating when he gets the ball or getting in the way and if armstrong stops losing the ball in the centre circle after trying to dribble around 3 players we have a chance hahahahahahahahaha

qwertyell Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 We know how this one ends, but at least we've given a decent account of ourselves for a half. Leaving the defenders one Vs one against Salah, Mane and Firmino time and again is not a sustainable approach, imho. And, Jesus Christ, Forster's a total liability with the ball at his feet. Shitting bricks every time the ball goes near him.
sydney_saint Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Lol just had a look on RAWK. Hilarious moaning about the ref. Apart from the headlock on Salah, most of the decisions have been correct. I guess they aren't used to having a ref not wanking over their forward line just throwing themselves to the ground.

BotleySaint Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 One way football so far this half. Totally being blown away. No goal yet though.
Saint_clark Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Stop hoofing it and hold onto it for a bit!
Sheaf Saint Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 JWP has been absolutely everywhere tonight.
Lighthouse Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 'One way traffic' doesn't do the last 10 mins justice.
Saint_clark Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Selfish from Walcott, two players on and he shoots from 30 yards.

trousers Posted 4 January, 2021 Posted 4 January, 2021 Looked like a penalty to me. Gotta love VAR...
