Newcastle 3-2 Saints - Match Thread

[Suhari]

Quality.

[HarvSFC]

Okay.... He’s good.

[Jonnyboy]

Mina!!! 

[obelisk]

This could end up 4-all.

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Stephens, in goal for Newcastle let’s in an easy, miss hit shot. 

[Turkish]

Great finish that, bit of quality we’ve been lacking for weeks 

[Convict Colony]

Japanese Messi

That's how you do it Danny... 

[washsaint]

Minamino showing what happens when you have the confidence to take a shot.  Rest of the team take note.

[Toussaint]

Watch and learn Ings and Che, just effing whack it!

[LGTL]

Great touch, great finish. 

[OttawaSaint]

Minamino: that’s how it’s fucking done Danny, Che, Nathan!

[Jonnyboy]

Player of the season 😉

[Jeremy Corbyn]

Bloody hell that was good, both touches.

[Suhari]

I'm pleased our players are able to see his clever runs.

Great goal. Lovely touch, pace, finish.

Class🇯🇵

[Viking Saint]

Great finish. No chance of keeping him then?!? 

[stknowle]

GTFI! This could be some game here, loads of chances so far.

[HKsaint]

Our right back is still worrying 

[davefizzy14]

What a goal, sublime that from Minamino

[Chez]

What a shit pass by Ings. Killed the attack. Basic weight of pass has been poor at times.

A S-M killing us every time he gets the ball.

Nathan Redmond is total shit really. He hasn’t been good for years.

their biggest threat is Maxine and we have a CB playing out of position marking him. 

[LGTL]

Wilson off injured

Looks like he's killed himself. Hopefully won't run it off. 

[Convict Colony]

If it's not Armstrong it's Redmond who are the caught in possession kings, honourable mention Oriel.

He might not get the move he wants if he doesn't pick back up at some point.

Wouldn’t be surprised if that wanker levy at the spuds is in his ear telling him to sulk around the pitch so they can pick him up on the cheap! 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Stephen's positional way is appalling. I'm surprised JWP didn't go RB and Diallo in the middle with Romeu....would have been much the better option.

Still in this, but we need to move the ball quicker and with more accuracy. 

[OttawaSaint]

Wtf was that McC?

[Mr X]

Minamino class Redmond not so much!

Because JWP positional play at full back cost us against Villa. 

[Saint_clark]

Bednarek needs dropping for a bit once walker peters is fit.

[Lord Duckhunter]

Ings keeps giving it away 

[saintwbu]

Ings has been really poor, slowing everything and misplacing everything 

Edited 6 February, 2021 by saintwbu

[VictiAbNonem]

"Takumi Minamino is the first player to score on his Southampton debut in the Premier League since Jan Bednarek v Chelsea in April 2018"

lol, sort of..

[Monk]

Amazing none of the coaching staff have said anything yet. 
 

Watch how much Bednarek and Stephens shit themselves when ASM sprints at them to press. Just relax and bypass or shield the ball for the cynical fouls. We’ve lost possession three times due to panic from his press, it’s just speed not intelligence. 

[OttawaSaint]

Dean would have sent Minamino off for that.

Ings has been terrible, everything breaking down with him

Yep. Awful. Wrong decisions and poor execution today. 

[Saint_clark]

JWP to vestergaard special coming up.

Can't remember the last time I saw a player drop so much in form in such a relatively short space of time. Appreciate he had an injury and a brush with covid but he's so far removed from the threat he used to be at the moment

[obelisk]

Saints shooting wayward as usual.

[OttawaSaint]

Fuck off Bertie. Total shit.

[Saint_clark]

For a team that supposedly presses really high, we almost never have midfield players picking up the second balls.

[trousers]

Armstrong is one of the players we miss most when he's out
