fanimal Posted 25 April, 2021 Share Posted 25 April, 2021 My goodness do we owe this lot one! should never have lost up there; should have turned up at Wembley; let’s hope Palace do us a favour somehow At least we will have had 4 extra days rest and training focus so just get a result please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 26 April, 2021 Share Posted 26 April, 2021 Leicester will know if they beat Palace and us this week they'll go a long way to securing champions league qualification, I'd love to beat them to put a dent in that but just can't see it with Saints at the moment.

Palace winning five nil or losing five nil makes no difference to how we'd get on. Maybe just go out and intentionally cripple some Leicester players?

nta786 Posted 26 April, 2021 Share Posted 26 April, 2021 Some depressing results against these at home - the 4-1 defeat in 2017/2018 was the one we were all calling for Pellegrino's head if I remember correctly. I can only see this going one way too sadly; I think we will start strong but without Ings we're toothless and so come second half when we try to go for a win, they'll see us off on the counter attack easily Saints 0 - 2 Leicester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawillwill Posted 26 April, 2021 Share Posted 26 April, 2021 We always play well against Leicester. Comfortable 3-1 victory. Che, Minamino and Jankewitz with the goals. Bednerak and Vestergaard won't give Vardy a sniff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second half against Brighton was pretty woeful. As was the second half against Leeds, they could easily have scored another 2 or 3. Man United was bad but agree Newcastle was just depressing, 3 awful goals conceded and playing for 40 mins against 10 men, then 20 against 9 and we barely looked like scoring.

nta786 Posted 26 April, 2021 Share Posted 26 April, 2021 I think one important thing to note too is Leicester play tonight, and then play us 4 days later. Therefore, we will have had an extra 5 day's rest over them. It wouldn't be just Ralph's tactical nous I'd be questioning if they look so much fitter than us, but: a) his coaching/fitness methods and b) whether the players are either on the beach or simply not giving Ralph their all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually we were outclassed as most teams are but let's ignore anything positive shall we. We are capable of playing some good stuff but why we aren't at the moment for a whole game is mystery to the team, Ralf and certainly the fans. No one likes it or excuses it despite some loons saying we do. If we had just tried to shut up shop for a point and lost 3 nil it would have been a slag fest, particularly from you. The ability and performances are in there somewhere and we need the coaches and the players to find it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not this pony again. Funny enough I was listening to Keys and Grey podcast today with Tony Pullis, he literally addressed this point with a story. When Stoke were promoted, Alex Ferguson and gave him 2 bits of advise . Firstly, make your home a fortress because you won’t win many away games. And secondly, if you get praise from the top managers you’re doing something wrong. Unbelievable that we get dicked by a half arsed City side and our supporters are excited school girls because Pep flirted with them. Noddy club behaviour.

You talk about changing the record, but you’re obsessed with certain aspects of our defeats. VAR, the referee, Peps words. The city game was actually one of the worst aspects of this run. We minced about only playing when it didn’t really matter, happy to be patted on the head by Pep, thankful that they didn’t try too hard. Had they needed 9, they’d have got them that day, no doubt about that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
