Perez coming on.

Great.

[Saint_clark]

Oh fuck me, Perez coming on now.

Yep, get Broja on

[mcbendy]

I did have a good stream but it has broken - does anyone have anything currently working?

[Wsaint]

Armstrong not having a good game, am still a fan but would like to see broja on soon. 

[Mr X]

Ralph's magical half time talks

Yep, Broja should be on, what the fuck are Ralph’s coaching team doing? He’s been saved potentially by Maddison going off, had Tino on toast, Perraud on and KWP to RB was obvious to counter but the manager couldn’t read the game.

Armstrong really needs to be replaced 

Yep. I just don't get the appeal of this lad. Very average on a good day, awful tonight. Broja must wander what he's got to do to play ahead of him.

Looks like he is struggling with the pace of the game

[CB Fry]

All the composure has gone. Just aimless now.

The usual Saints second half then.

[adrian lord]

Ralph: make changes or we are going to lose.

[trousers]

Broja coming on

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Tino needs to come off

[northam soul]

Why the fuck doesn’t Ralph change it

[igsey]

I really don't understand why we struggle so much to have two good halves of football in the same game. We were pretty much excellent first half, one poor bit of goalkeeping aside, and now we look like we've completely forgotten how to play.

I'd take 2-2 right now but somehow I don't think it will stay like that.

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

amen. Livramento had an absolute mare positionally, but the first thought for most on here is to slate McCarthy. 

[Donatello]

Needs to make changes to counter the swing in momentum, with Liv/Armstrong/Tella on the chopping board (probably in that order)

[obelisk]

It's as if Leicester just know that the second half will be theirs for the taking. All rather predictable so far.

[Mr X]

If we took just our second half of games, I don't think there's a team that's worse

Tella off, Broja on

Tella off...Armstrong stays on 🤦🏼‍♂️

[egg]

Err, OK. 

[Viking Saint]

Tella off, should've been Armstrong IMO

[igsey]

Ah yes, because three CFs worked so well against Liverpool.

[Chez]

Three strikers or Armstrong dropping in to the left like he did at Norwich?

[obelisk]

Why on earth take Tella off when Armstrong is on the pitch?

[Secret Site Agent]

we want broja

 

..oh here he comes

[badgerx16]

Dewsbury-Hall sounds like a Grade 2 listed building in Yorkshire.

The latter

Edit: right side, not left

Livramento was awful, JWP messed up, but McCarthy could and should have bailed them out. He deserves pelting for that. 

[Saint_clark]

Redmond fantastic on the right, Armstrong poor all game, Tella looking dangerous...let's take off tella, move Redmond to the left and drop Armstrong into a number 10 role. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Long will replace Armstrong when we really need a goal.

Maybe his first half groin strain is starting to be felt ?

[Secret Site Agent]

I think we went there once on a school trip

They were all shit for that second goal, but Mccarthy gets beaten at the near post way too often.

[CB Fry]

What was that Che?

[captainchris]

Wtf Ralph… Tella off !!!! 
We are losing the midfield and you take Tella off who was having a good game and bring on a third striker..

Armstrong has been terrible, which game is Ralph watching?

Just weird….

Livramento is no full back either and needs a break.

Or maybe his lack of recent minutes means he isn't fully match fit.

[obelisk]

Saints completely lacking in composure in the attacking third again. Leicester break to create a good chance.

"Time to turn" says the commentator, as he point blank refuses to and just edges away from goal.

[Chez]

as usual we looked ragged and as players get tired and cant cover/track back the gaps open and we look at risk of conceding from every break. 

Need Broja to come up with another break away goal.

Watch it again. With 2-3 players between him and the ball I don’t think he even saw it until it was on him.

He’s not played well but no need to blame him when he’s not culpable. Too much of that on here.

[Saint_clark]

What the fuck walker peters.

[trousers]

Tino's definitely had his attacking instinct coached out of him, hasn't he?

[Turkish]

Got away with that 

[saintmonkey1979]

Can't keep riding our luck like that

[trousers]

Good save McCarthy...
