Saints 1-0 Villa - Match Thread

[adrian lord]

Weathered the storm so far and not conceded. 

[Micky]

What was lyanco doing there ffs

[Saint_clark]

The only criticism of Lyanco I had against Chelsea was that he stepped up to attack balls in the air too often, leaving himself massively exposed. Did exactly that there as well.

 

[DT]

This has a distinct ‘they are going to score’ feeling about it

[It's There]

Love the depth to our squad now.

[CB Fry]

Not seen many of those corner kicks that were definitely going to win us the Euros tonight. And there's been enough of them.

[igsey]

Just to say, Prowsey has been quietly very good. His best game this season I'd say.

*corners excluded perhaps.

What is it with these half time team talks that makes Saints so often poor in the 2nd half?

Ketamine.

[OttawaSaint]

There's Rom's yellow...

His delivery has been ever so poor.

As for those saying Newcastle will be in for Salisu, not on this showing.

[VictiAbNonem]

Romeu can act

[Mr X]

We are a totally different team this half, haven't turnt up 

[OttawaSaint]

Hahaha! What a free kick!

[Saints foreva]

Shocking performance this half. 

[igsey]

How much did they spend on Bailey?!

[OttawaSaint]

Hopefully Villa have now blown their load. Let's finish them off!

[In the game I mean,  not sexually...or maybe we could give it a try? No no...]

Not exactly unprecedented is it? Been less like it this season but basically weekly last season.

It ain't the talk, it's the change of tactics. The players don't adapt, and to be fair to Ralph, he has. 

[Kingsbridge Saint]

Ralph really should be on notice that his half time team talks need to improve. So many games this season we’ve come out an absolute shambles with no energy.

[Saint_clark]

What a fucking save Martinez...

[DT]

Best form of defence is attack. The lesson I wish Ralph had read about. 

[SNSUN]

Come on Saints, need to get back into this, Villa currently want it more.

 

What a save! Ffs 

[Lighthouse]

Oooosh! Great header/save.

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhhh Adams, great save!

[Kingsbridge Saint]

Broja time for me. Get some pace on there for the breaks.

Shut it!

[VictiAbNonem]

Would be 3-0 against most keepers.

Yes please

We play against most keepers though. Gotta give them no chance. 

[Saint_clark]

I actually think Diallo for Elyounoussi is the sub to make.

He is just one big cliche

[harvey]

Bednarek is awful....I really don't like him.

[OttawaSaint]

Adams showing many lovely touches. Great course control. 

[Micky]

We are going to give these points away, easy passes being ignored, losing the ball.

So about 25+ minutes to hang on. A second would be extremely welcome. 

[Kingsbridge Saint]

Mo is a bit lightweight isn’t he. Brushed off the ball like a paper bag in  the wind.

[wadesmith]

Cameron Archer is decent.

He's had a bad season this season but was good at one point so what's changed

Sure, but Martinez has made two quite exceptional saves tonight.

[Teddeer]

Need Broja and Diallo

[obelisk]

Simple pass to Armstrong ignored.

Bet you weren't thinking that first half.

Sterling is better.

[OttawaSaint]

Ely needed to slot that to AArm

We do like giving kids their first PL goal too...

Done alright tonight but time for him to go off now.

It wasn't ignored, he was trying to make the pass as the tackle came in.

Is he making his bow?
