Saints 2-2 Leicester - Match Thread

At least @DT gets to post again 

[AlexLaw76]

2nd half collapse on the way

[Mr X]

Ffs we are so bad at defending a lead 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Fuck off McCarthy

[saintmonkey1979]

How in the hell can a pro keeper get beaten at the near post like that? FFS 

[obelisk]

Too easy. All started with JWP diving in upfield. I think we know what happens now.

[Saint_clark]

JWP poor as well there, over committed right up the pitch leaving Romeu to mark two players in the middle.

[Ashby Saint]

I blame Ward-Prowse as he committed himself unnecessarily upfield and it opened up from there.

[BotleySaint]

Clearly not a foul. Got the ball.

Just for a change 🙄

I can't wait for the day we don't have to have him in goal for us anymore.

Haven’t all Bednarek’s goals been the opener in a game we’ve lost 3-2 having been 2-0 up?

Expand  

We didn’t go 2-0 up but this is strangely prophetic…..

[Yorkshire Saint]

Substitute Mccarthy FFS .. awful 

[Secret Site Agent]

aaaaahhhhh.

 Miss a sitter at one end, let them in at the other.

I wonder how many points we would have under ralph for 2nd half's only 🤔 

[Saint_Tony]

just abysmal. Leicester haven't even got going and still scored twice. 

[Edmonton Saint]

McCarthy is an awful, awful keeper. Ralph's blindness to him may well prove his ultimate undoing. And the idiots at the club want to give McCarthy a new contract? In the cold hard world of professional football it's an insane decision.

[St Chalet]

I think Forster starts next game.

I would rather go into the summer with no senior keeper and needing to sign two than keep McCarthy.

[Saints foreva]

Livramento getting torn a new one. 

[AlexLaw76]

happens every time, the opposition makes changes at HT and we are all over the place!!!

[Jonnyboy]

I love Romeu but he looks even slower than normal today. 

[jimmer42]

Stop blaming the keeper ffs....about four other players fucked up in front of him

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Tino is getting ripped apart by Maddison

[CB Fry]

You can't have a footballer whose name sounds like a National Trust property. Really winding me up.

[obelisk]

I really think Tino would  be better further forward on the right. As a defender he's just not good enough.

[Sheaf Saint]

I would take Tino off and move KWP over. Madison is making a mug of him and his inexperience is really showing.

[nta786]

What is it with Maddison and always scoring against us 

And always some sort of near post goal.

He should still save that comfortably.

If none of the other 10 players ever made mistakes you wouldn't need a keeper. A keeper is there as a last line of defence and he is fucking useless.

[Mr X]

If we take nothing from this it will be beyond sickening!

Ha!! I just said the same to my wife.

Take Tino off, he’s knackered.

A Premiership keeper shouldn't be getting beaten at his near post like that

If Maddison puts it the top right fair enough but gambling to let him slot easily it at his near post isn't good.

[AlexLaw76]

Bernado Silva just scored a beauty at Villa

[Maggie May]

Shame we don’t play a system where Tino can push up into midfield in front of KWP, with Perraud slotting in at left back. 

[Saint_clark]

Armstrong really just has no idea what to do when he gets the ball.

[Mr X]

Selfish from Armstrong 

[northam soul]

Armstrong really needs to be replaced

Exactly. Teams like Villa can get away with poor defending by having a competent keeper to bail them out if they can't snuff out the danger. We can't.

[AlexLaw76]

Armstrong is shite

[trousers]

Tame shot from Armstrong. Should do better

[qwertyell]

Fuck me, Armstrong is dog shit. Can't/won't pass.

[adrian lord]

Leicester have done nothing ... apart from score twice.

Everyone says this, but his strength is running from deep. We lose that if he plays further up. 

[Saints foreva]

Armstrong just looks so Championship standard.
