Saints 3-1 Palace - Match Thread

[OttawaSaint]

Seen enough of Mina get Tella on, he’s the future.

[Saint_clark]

Stephens ffs

[DG]

Wow.

[obelisk]

Oh Stephens!!

[Dorchester Saint]

Vintage Jack Stephen’s there...🤦🏻‍♂️

[OttawaSaint]

Stephens cock up. Look at Redmond’s little face!

[Mr X]

Ffs Stephens

[HarvSFC]

At least he made up for it in the end.

[nta786]

Very lucky that wasn’t capitalised on - big error 

But also credit Jack for just about doing enough to put Benteke off.

Zaha or Eze or anyone with acceleration would potentially have buried that

Good break by Saints. Armstrong did well.

[vin]

Does any team make as many unforced errors as we do?

[davefizzy14]

Great recovery from Jack

[OttawaSaint]

Jack trying to pull a master stroke and triple captained Benteke...

[HKsaint]

Stephens is dangerous

[OttawaSaint]

Next goal is vital. End to end stuff.

[BotleySaint]

BBC not even watching the game

 

"Southampton give it away again on the edge of their own box as Jannik Vestergaard completely misses his touch and Christian Benteke pounces.

Jack Stephens does really well to block his effort."

[Saint_clark]

Really hope we get Rico Henry in the summer.

the bottom three

[nta786]

Roy doing a big tactical change. 
Their central defensive midfielder off, and a somewhat pacy player on Schlupp now on.

Jesus he looks good. How much?

Probably off to Dortmund if Halaand goes I guess but maybe a 20mil signing if no bigger teams come in.

Suspect he'd only go to teams who fit his style anyway so it would limit his options.

[obelisk]

Why do Saints play dangerous passes in defensive positions but not in the attacking third?

[Saint_clark]

That's got to be a booking for Benteke surely? You can't just throw someone to the ground like that.

[OttawaSaint]

Umm, Benteke just went WWE on KWP.

[BotleySaint]

Ref is clueless today. Terrible performance so far.

Yeah, bizarre

Excellent reaction save Forster.

Dortmund or Saints...tough choice.

[OttawaSaint]

We’re absolutely gagging to piss this game away aren’t we?

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Really need get Miniamino off

[Saint_clark]

Now's the time for an attacking sub Ralph, get some fresh legs on, someone eager to make an impact.

if the opponent is time-wasting, like KWP was, I'm all for allowing it personally.

Yes, game is passing him by. Keeps breaking down the attack.

We have Moussa.....signed to the same agent Frederic Kanoute 

[nta786]

Tella on for Minamino surely come on Ralph

or just react to their change if shape. 

[obelisk]

Palace have good attacking players. Saints on current form will be lucky to hold them out. Trouble is that on current form Saints will now start to run out of puff and very likely fail to score.

not sure he'd offer a good reference seeing as we don't seem to trust him or give him an extended run in the side when fit

[OttawaSaint]

Come on Ralph, get it reorganized and freshened up before it’s too late!

[Saint_clark]

Ref giving us absolutely nothing. Get Obafemi and Djenepo on.

 

[Mr X]

Bring on tella & dejenepo ralph

Someone just went right through the back of Ings. Nothing...

[BotleySaint]

Ref is on the beach. Has no awareness at all. 

[HKsaint]

You can see Zaha was looking for Redmond when he was inside the penalty area. 

[Chez]

Diallo on for me. Lets get some legs in the middle

[DT]

Crying out for a sub for minamino

[SNSUN]

Shit a brick their passing is great in attacking areas. Really hope our defence can hold out but it’s fucking tense!

 

Minamino off now! Need to attack Palace, their weak spot is in defence. Need a third I’d say...

 

Obafemi for Ings Apparently...

[nta786]

Right they are all over us

Not sure if anyone saw the running statistics but in our first 17 games we covered 109km on avg.

In our last 17 games this fell dramatically to 106km.

 

[Saint_clark]

Now our season is over why are we giving so much game time to Minamino!? 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Have we told Klopp that we will play Minamino every minute now?

[OttawaSaint]

Ok, enough, hook minamino!
