nta786 Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Do we look a shadow of our former selves or are Chelsea just that good? This performance takes me back to the days where you go into games against the big teams with absolutely no chance- the gulf in class looks huge
igsey Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Feels like a training exercise for Chelsea, defence v attack. Can't understand how Minamino has replaced Adams in this side after so little time to learn Ralph's intricate system. 2
BotleySaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Doesn't seem to be anyone playing RB/RWB

Wrensup Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Going to be a long game me thinks. wonder if we’re just plain being out played, or are we trying to defend in a more containing manner then second half try and turn it on a bit?

Bednarek is playing as a third CB and Djenepo is too far forward... Exactly this, really bizarre formation unless djenpo not following orders, we look completely clueless, adams needs to come on and hold up play, redmond and minimino can't retain the ball Edited 20 February, 2021 by danjosaint
Gingeletiss Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 on 22 minutes they said Saints had 80 passes, and Chelsea had 222 passes.
Ohio Saint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 We are playing smart. Let them think we are crap, gift them a couple of goals, then BAM! we get a goal kick 1

Lord Duckhunter Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Fucking he’ll. Stephen’s positional sense is woeful, he’s sat in completely the wrong place in the stand FFS... Useless
SupersonicSaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Prowsey having an absolute stinker so far.
Whitey Grandad Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Just now, Gingeletiss said: on 22 minutes they said Saints had 80 passes, and Chelsea had 222 passes. The difference is that they pass the ball to their own players.
Viking Saint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Commentator just mentioned that 26 minutes in and we've not a touch inside the Chelsea area yet...
skintsaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 We normally have a decent half and a shite half.....hopefully this is the latter or could get nasty. 1
Norm Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 With all the possession Chelsea have, we must be delighted with 0-0. The gulf in class between the teams is frightening.
stknowle Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 We're losing every challenge, and giving the ball away when there is no challenge.
Whitey Grandad Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Just now, Viking Saint said: Commentator just mentioned that 26 minutes in and we've not a touch inside the Chelsea area yet... I thought Redmond got in their earlier for a couple of seconds. Then he realised where he was.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 If there's one positive here, we know that possession doesn't necessarily mean a won game. But we're not capitalising on anything...just giving it back to them with sloppy passing. Gonna be a long afternoon.
egg Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 4 minutes ago, BotleySaint said: Doesn't seem to be anyone playing RB/RWB Yep, my thoughts. Just seems kind of zonal over there with Bednarek or Djenepo filling space. Really odd.
BotleySaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Whew, risky passing it around at the back and inviting pressure. Romeu and JWP being turned a bit too easily at the moment. Showing up our lack of pace in the middle.
Sheaf Saint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 This is just painful to watch. Nearly half an hour played and we haven't mounted anything even resembling a meaningful attack. Ings has barely had a single touch. Doesn't look like anyone understands the formation and there's no intensity whatsoever.
haddock22 Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Think saints lucky there's no crowd inside stadium as I don't think they would put up with this
nta786 Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 I can’t help but feel a little sorry for Djenepo- probably doesn’t want to play in the role he is being asked to do. I don’t recall Mane ever doing a job at wing back or even having to do so.

nta786 Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Djenepo stupidly loses the ball there Ralph sounded mental there ‘PLAY IT SIMPLE’ 1
OttawaSaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Ralphy trying the risky Puel style 0-0 draw to stop the rot and get to 30...

OttawaSaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Refs let Chelsea get away with 3 very obvious fouls in last 3 minutes. edot: minnn nnnnnnnnniiiii
Whitey Grandad Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 McCarthy seems to think he’s playing rugby and keeps kicking or field position in touch.
LGTL Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Great finish but wow, most undeserved goal in history 😀
HarvSFC Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Yes! Well against the run of play! Great ball from Redmond, cut them right open. 1
egg Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Wow!! Redmond did brilliantly there. Dropped deep and made that happen.
trousers Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Right, ten men behind the ball now for 60 minutes...?!
Ohio Saint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 I always knew Tadanari would score eventually 3
The Cat Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Was that the first time we touched the ball? 😂
stknowle Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Got to be the most against the run of play goal I have ever seen. Well taken though.
OttawaSaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Yesssssss! Thought he’d panicked and the chance was gone. Assist from clown shoes (he was probably shooting)...
skintsaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Superb! Out the blue. Now to hang on for 60mins!!
Lighthouse Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 More importantly, Andreja Slokar is now leading for Slovenia. 1
