Saints 1-1 Chelsea- Match Thread

[Saint Fan CaM]

What did I just say?! Possession means nothing if the final third passing is poor. Bloody brilliant goal!!!

Great finish but wow, most undeserved goal in history 😀

Exactly the sort of goal we tend to concede after 30 minutes of initial domination

[davefizzy14]

Minamino - get in! brilliant from Redders

[Gingeletiss]

At least it won't be 9-0!!!

[The Cat]

Horrible defending by Jack Stephens for our goal. 

[AtomicSaint]

Great ball from Redmond and cool finish

[igsey]

What the fuck hahahaha

[skintsaint]

Hopefully will give the team a bit of self belief as we were not looking too sharp.

Yesssssss! Thought he’d panicked and the chance was gone. Assist from clown shoes (he was probably shooting)...

Even when he does well you're still bitter. Your hatred for Redmond is actually quite entertaining 😂

[iansums]

1-4

Commentator just mentioned that 26 minutes in and we've not a touch inside the Chelsea area yet... 

If Carlsberg made first touches in the box...

Got to be the most against the run of play goal I have ever seen. Well taken though.

Nah, I saw Fulham equalise at OT in injury time once, having played most of the game with 11 in their own six yard box.

[BotleySaint]

Classic Saints goal to concede. But us scoring for a change.

[StrangelyBrown]

Amazing pass from Redmond and a great piece of composure! Hopefully that will give us some confidence.

[Chez]

Get in there. What a brilliant finish. Football, bloody hell.

[Wurzel]

In the process of typing Redmond is a waste of a shirt and he wakes up and plays the killer (against his better nature) forward pass for the goal.

It was  joke. Jesus lighten up. Happy for him to do well.

[Jimmy_D]

Where did that come from?

brilliant finish! 

[sydney_saint]

Lol we just did to Chelsea what so many sides have done to us. 

[OttawaSaint]

Now let’s see this increase our confidence!

I didn't see that game.

[Norm]

Bloody great! I go for a Pee and we score! Brilliant 🙄

[BotleySaint]

Suspect they'll be rolling out that stat later about points dropped from winning positions.

[Whitey Grandad]

I love the way that he sat both the keeper and the defender down there.

[Wrensup]

Suckered them in we did!

Does anybody seriously think that this is a winning position?

[nta786]

When was the last time we shithoused to a win? 
The Liverpool game, whilst impressive- I felt we deserved it as they couldn’t get in behind us that often that game- we were defensively composed and we still made chances 

This 1st half performance has been 2nd/3rd worst of the season yet we have a 1-0 lead

[Suhari]

Fantastic goal.

We are incredibly passive today though.

Gameplan?

[stknowle]

Clear offside.

In all seriousness, it's hard to see why you would've singled him out. Minamino was the one having a shocker. Redmond did what he's been doing but his critics hadn't seen, ie dropping off and linking play. This time someone actually made a run and he picked it out with a cracking ball. 

[Jonnyboy]

How is that not a card, and then why didn't we get a free kick for offside??

You’ve got me there, I can’t argue against that.

It’s definitely a misleading stat. Going 1-0 up in first minute at the Ethiad is not a winning position. Perhaps it should be leading at 75 mins?

mlg note: I know we didn’t go 1 up at Ethiad, it was just an example of a lead that I don’t think is a winning lead

That offside thing is so frustrating. Clearly off and yet they get a corner out of it 

[OttawaSaint]

And naturally VAR don’t care and allow a corner.

[Sheaf Saint]

Good job they didn't score from that corner. The header from the FK was offside and would have been ruled out if Macca hadn't saved it.

[Saint_clark]

Two stamps on Djenepo now and nothing given.

[The Cat]

What's Djenepo done to annoy their players?

[Jimmy_D]

He meant that, the ****.

[LGTL]

Fuck me another horrific tackle from Kante 

[obelisk]

Can't believe Kante didn't get a card.

[OttawaSaint]

Ref forgot his cards? Djenny himself got sent off for a challenge like that last season.

Edited 20 February, 2021 by OttawaSaint

[nta786]

Surely these Chelsea players deserve a yellow for these at least or something?

Studs up?

if we did that they’d have been instant purple card/ 10 match bans

[trousers]

Surely VAR has a look at that?

[vin]

Peter Walton “a late challenge by both players”. Dear God...

[HarvSFC]

Bertrand and Djenepo both get sent off for that.

[Turkish]

Didn’t Bertrand get sent off for very similar tackles in that Leicester game? The Kante one should be a booking

[LGTL]

Peter Walton with useless insight. How is that knob getting paid by BT? 

[The Cat]

Had a look, disregard it because it wasn't one of our players committing the foul.

[danjosaint]

Absolute bullshit, 2 studs up tackles maybe not intent but fuck we've had them go against us
