whelk Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Theo has been an excellent signing you fuckwits 2 1
Viking Saint Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 1 minute ago, saint lard said: Ings doesn’t even look particularly interested tonight. Lots of shrugging of shoulders and not much more. he’s lost that spring in his step and that appetite it seems. hope he proves me wrong but the body language says more about a player who’s not ‘ in the game’ We're forgetting he's not really got back to form yet after his injury, and he's not received the passes he needs to be able to finish. He just needs the one pass in the right place. Unfortunately, it's probably not going to come from Walcott 1

S-Clarke Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Just now, whelk said: Theo has been an excellent signing you fuckwits People are just expecting/demanding him to be a world beater. But he's not. He's good at what he does and he's been a good outlet for us. He's never been a clinical finisher, a good decision maker or blessed with the most amazing technique - so if fans want that, then they need to watch Messi. 1
LeBizzier69 Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 I do like Theo, but I’m surprised he hasn’t yet mastered the weight of a pass. It’s like he gets his 3 iron out while lining up a putt. 1
Saint_clark Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 When is vestergaard back? It seemed like an injury out of nowhere that wasn't going to be a long term thing but that's got to be nearly two months now he's been out?
Jimmy_D Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Started the second half well... Need to knock one in and knock Arsenal back on their heels.
Saint_clark Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 (edited) Vokins got the ball there! No mention by the commentary of course. Edited 26 January, 2021 by Saint_clark
DT Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 9 minutes ago, nta786 said: We are without 3 of our first choice defenders, missing our starting CM*, don’t have a fully fit Redmond and also without Djenepo/Tella. Any team will suffer with an injury list like that and our players are knackered from Saturday unlike Arsenal who have made 5 changes and started with a £45m mid + £54m striker etc etc So not too many complaints given we are somewhat in it- but it does feel like we are getting sliced open. *not that Diallo has been terrible- he’s been our 2nd best player aft Stu tonight I’d say Spot on
Saint_clark Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 McCarthy caught out again, what is he doing??
DT Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 McCarthy wandering around again like he’s lost his dog 2
adrian lord Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Is McCarthy doing all this suicidal stuff because the defence in front of him is so ropey?
Jonnyboy Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 15 minutes ago, adrian lord said: Am I sensing that we are approaching the tipping point whereby Ings becomes a full-on scapegoat hate figure? Even Ralph said he needs to get on and score 10-15 more goals so I think fans can share that desire.
BotleySaint Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Uncomfortable game to watch. The way Arsenal are playing it could be 4 or 5-1 if it starts to click. I don't count against us scoring again but we can't handle their through balls today.
Saint_clark Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Please tell me he hasn't just given them the throw in??????
Saint Fan CaM Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Arsenal player flops over...free kick. Cheating turds. Need to get Redmond on for Theo who is having little effect on our game mainly because he's nedding to cover Valery.

Mr X Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Feels like we won't get anything tonight, arsenal have been a totally different side to the cup
trousers Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Why don't Arsenal do this intensive level of pressing every game...? #backhandedcompliment
Chez Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 we are passing it quite well, but are not really creating. Arsenal look far more dangerous and the chances are much more clear cut. Still in it though. Need to ride out luck a bit.
woodsaint1 Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Watching Valery is depressing. Defensively so inept 1
Saint_clark Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Our crossing seems to be some of the least accurate in the league, always seems to be between two of our players.
obelisk Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Should have been a corner. Hit Ings after it crossed the line.

Saint_clark Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Just now, obelisk said: Should have been a corner. Hit Ings after it crossed the line. I thought that too.
adrian lord Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 We could do with a decent Prowsey set piece but the trouble is the ref isn’t giving us anything
trousers Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Just now, HarvSFC said: Who’s the LB? Diallo by the looks of it
HarvSFC Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Diallo, interesting. He’s been our second best player in the middle tonight, behind Armstrong.
Viking Saint Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Diallo to LB?? That's a big loss in the middle for us.... 1
Saint_clark Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Redmond straight away with two passes backwards in one minute.
igsey Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 (edited) Ignore me Edited 26 January, 2021 by igsey Martinelli looks like Gabriel
beatlesaint Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Couldn’t he have taken Valery off and put Diallo there instead of left back?
Saint_clark Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Just now, beatlesaint said: Couldn’t he have taken Valery off and put Diallo there instead of left back? Thought the same but in fairness to Valery he's getting involved in attacking play more than Vokins and we do need a goal.
egg Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Just now, beatlesaint said: Couldn’t he have taken Valery off and put Diallo there instead of left back? He could have but Valery has had a decent second half, Vokins had been poor. Correct decision for me.
Whitey Grandad Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Arsenal are time wasting with over twenty minutes to go.
beatlesaint Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Just now, Saint_clark said: Thought the same but in fairness to Valery he's getting involved in attacking play more than Vokins and we do need a goal. True
Saint_clark Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 Willian on for Smith Rowe is good for us.
obelisk Posted 26 January, 2021 Posted 26 January, 2021 I'd like to see something more pacey & incisive from Saints in attack. Build up is a bit ponderous and the ball into the box is just hopeful. Arsenal more likely.
