How did we dodge a VAR check there?

2 decent chances from El Ghazi and the fucker shouldn’t even be on the pitch

FUxsake we need to get the next goal.

[adrian lord]

You just know El Ghazi is gonna score...

[Suhari]

They're going more route one and giving us problems now 

[VictiAbNonem]

It really grates seeing El Ghazi getting chances

[Micky]

All over the place again. 

[Jonnyboy]

Take Tino off and switch KWP over? 

[obelisk]

Villa taking Saints apart at the moment.

[Dorchester Saint]

Villa we’re bound to come out fighting, ride this period out and watch them lose confidence….then comes the second killer goal. 

[OttawaSaint]

Everything good that they are doing is coming from the guy who should be in an early bath. 

Get a grip on this Saints. Stu has been really poor today. 

[qwertyell]

Pathetic start to the second half. Second best everywhere.

[obelisk]

Bednarek so, so poor there.

[Mr X]

We need to wake up 

[harvey]

Broja for Adams now, give something Villa to think about again.

 

[stknowle]

They're battering us now! FFS!

[OttawaSaint]

Bednarek running around there.  Get it back Saints!

[Mr X]

Awful start to this half by us 

[obelisk]

Wish Saints would leave an attacker upfield when defending  corners.

[igsey]

Fuck we're just going to defend for 45 minutes, aren't we?

Nah, Adams has been brilliant at holding onto the ball and getting it forward.

[adrian lord]

Get a grip Saints. 

[harvey]

Ralph needs to be proactive now.

[Suhari]

Maybe go to a back 3?

Lyanco on, Moi off.

[Lighthouse]

Not been out of our own half yet.

This, utterly clueless out there right now after an extremely comfortable 45.

Give him time to settle this half. He'll be OK. 

[OttawaSaint]

Bednarek bottles a header there. Come on!!

[Saint_clark]

Lyanco coming on...for fuck sake please be for Bednarek and not going ultra defensive.

[The Kraken]

Not sure I agree, Adams has been ok but there’s not enough up front to keep it there and offer options. For all our dominance in the first 45 we again didn’t do enough.

[davefoggy]

another inspiring half time team talk by Ralph

[Saint_clark]

Lyanco on for Armstrong, oh for fuck sake...

[OttawaSaint]

Here comes Gorilla! Stu off.

[obelisk]

S Armstrong looking off the pace.

[DT]

That is a rubbish substitution. So negative

[Saint_clark]

Bednarek all over the place and he leaves him on.

 

[adrian lord]

err gonna be a long, long half

[Lighthouse]

Kicking off in block 1.

[Saints foreva]

That sub will invite pressure imo 

[Suhari]

Proactive move.

Some more steel, a different shape. Something to make them think about.

[Dorchester Saint]

I am in awe at your tactical genius….said nobody ever. 

[OttawaSaint]

So 3 at the back. I guess 4-2-1 in front of them?

[Mr X]

Agreed

[Suhari]

Really?

[bpsaint]

Fair play to Ralph for actually trying to change the swing of the game.

[DT]

Just now, Mr X said:

Agreed

Just invites them to attack more. 

[VictiAbNonem]

Lyanco hattrick 

[igsey]

Not a negative change as such, Villa changed shape so we have changed to better match up with them.

Would still like to see Perraud on for Tino.
