If Ralph felt he could do it as well as Redmond, he'd start him. It's academic though, Redmond did nothing today and Ralph has made the right change. 

Don’t think what Ralph thinks is any basis for something being right.

Yep academic though

Is your carer helping you type?

Ralph is like the Austrian Klopp. Only with no tactics, ability, or financial backing

I know people will say it wasn't a major enough incident for VAR to intervene, but if they give that Soyuncu foul then Leicester are down to 10 for 25 minutes and we have an attacking freekick. Makes a huge difference.

Will also give the Ralph cult their ready made excuse. 

[Jonnyboy]

So under Pellegrino in 2018 we managed 3 shots on target against Chelsea,... and today? 

[Heisenberg]

Let’s not turn on each other guys we are 

[obelisk]

Leicester quite comfortable now. Lots of space for them and Saints have little urgency or threat.

Hughes.

[Saint_clark]

Ralph, instead of standing there with your arms folded shaking your head, get shouting some encouragement and instructions at the players.

[Ed Rooney]

At least the formation is working well again 

[Mr X]

How can we not be giving 100% in a fa cup semi final? What will get us motivated?

He’s done well to just keep at at 1-0. Revel and enjoy our short time with this genius at the helm

Getting a bit embarrassing now.

Have you not fucked off yet?

[DT]

Wish we were more solid and less tippy tappy. So many loose flicks. Just isn’t working. Bloody disappointing. And never changes. 

[Saint_clark]

Circa 15 minutes to get one goal, and here comes the hero that will get it.

 

[Heisenberg]

10 minutes left for us to get a shot on target

See we are all taking this defeat well

All he does is just slag us off the whole game.

I should 

[Chez]

stick Vestagaard up front... something, anything. They look much more likely to score, but still the same 4-4-2 nothingness.

He's not alone 

[woodsaint1]

Compare this lacklustre display to how much we had a go against United in the league cup final. Come back Claude, all is forgiven

[CB Fry]

It's times like this that we miss Shane Long.

They’ll be all smiles, woolly hats and gloves in training this week.

Such a boring performance (so far) Passing has been dire. No incisiveness or direct play whatsoever. Weird. 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Six shots, none on target

[DT]

I mean, it’s like we are approaching this as 8 goals to the advantage of a 9-0 drubbing. So drab. 

[Monk]

Fuck off Ralph you cvnt

[obelisk]

Saints just passing it around the back as if there was nothing to worry about.

Got your sistas with you?

Push forward Saints! They should be a nervous wreck but we're making it easy for them.

Yep. We had all this nonsense after the last game that they're holding back so they don't injured for this match. Not sure what today's excuse is. 

[Chez]

Since they scored Leicester have played well. Keeping the ball well. Killing us off.

[washsaint]

Our Plan B has them really worried.  Ralph knows how to mix it up and react to the opposition.

Actually, I can see why he runs out of steam at every club around this time.  Absolutely no way of adapting to the opposition or using new tactics.  So one dimensional and we were worked out months ago yet the system has remained the same.

SO much for the team being up for this game.  Going out with a whimper and not a single shot on target.

No YOU fuck off.

I think I preferred that Saints team that pressed hard, swarmed teams and scored goals...

[adrian lord]

Thank fuck there’s another bottle of wine to sink

[Saint_clark]

Here's your plan B boys, 3 at the back and 3 up top.

[DT]

Bertrand off to polish his car

[Chapel End]

The consensus is that everyone should fuck off

[nta786]

Bertrand off Salisu on

KWP off Tella on

 

Ralph throwing the kitchen sink?

[SNSUN]

Equaliser, extra time, penalties, win penalties, beat Chelsea, win the FA Cup. Easy.

 

Why can’t we have nice things...

 

I really hope the higher powers of our club aren’t all sitting around post season patting each other on the back at reaching the Semi Final of the FA Cup. “...and we just survived lads. A job well done this season.” Serious investment needed. 

[CB Fry]

Well we're going for it. Or something.

[DT]

Least reactive manager ever?

[Chez]

about fucking time

[Saint_clark]

Why was Fofana allowed to take that throw in 15 yards forward from where it was? It went out by the corner flag for fuck sake. 

[Heisenberg]

Can’t see Leicester hanging on here
