I thought Tella was best on ground Saturday. 

Even stranger that he’s picked him then 🤣

[Baird of the land]

Glad to see Tella starting.

Slight surprise to see Bednarek stay in. Hope Livramento can recapture his early season form and makes me eat my wish for him to be given a rest.

Good point!

[BallBoy]

Just feel we are light in midfield again. 2 proper midfielders and 2 wingers. Just my opinion.

Let’s hope “good” Redmond turns up.

So the Redmond we've seen all season?

What do you suggest as an alternative? 🤔

Agreed. I like ten's who can come inside and help the midfield. Moi is half decent at that. I think we'll get overrun in there. Maddison could give us real problems.

No thanks,  I've made 4 of my own over the years and they cost me a whole lot more than a tenner...!

Ha!! I feel your pain. 

[Uncle Albert]

Would have liked to have seen Lyanco given the start ahead of Bednarek.

[Mr X]

Is it true only Norwich have scored less than us this season? 

[AlexLaw76]

we have missed some sitters this season - 😛

Alternatively, we have scored as many as Tottenham.

Strange question when I don't think Ralph has ever selected this first eleven before.

No it isn't. My question was in regard to him question playing two central holding midfielders and two attacking midfielders.

[Saint_clark]

Commentator mentions the 9-0 immediately after taking over. Only reason "the spectre of that result is still hanging around" is because you lot keep bringing it up!

No its still hanging around because it happened and it was an embarrassment. We'd be banging on about it if it was another club.

Tella is a very different player to, say, Elyounoussi I think is the point. 

They'll be, like, data, stats and info to back that kind of thinking up. Have a look. 

[LiberalCommunist]

Win this saints, and vanquish these tin pot commentators biggest talking point.

 

[Saint_clark]

Interesting, Tella on corners....

[Saint_clark]

Yessssssssss!!!! Set pieces worked on heavily!

[Saints foreva]

Not Bednarek... 🤣

Looking a good choice so far!

That aged well!

[AlexLaw76]

Cheeky start there....lets win this one shall we?

 

[Mr X]

Always said bednarek is class! 

[Manuel]

Loving these set pieces.  We needed a change.

We beat Leicester a few months after the 9-0 and that didn't stop commentators!

[Maggie May]

Ralph’s probably mentally polishing off his half time dance routine that’ll make the players switch off and forget they’re footballers. 

[nta786]

Well done Bednarek!

I didn’t want him to start in fairness but you can’t knock a right place, right time goal.

Now keep that clean sheet! 

[CB Fry]

Amazon Prime on Virgin box is about two minutes behind real life.

But goal worth waiting for 😀

[Saint_clark]

Tella looking class.

[Lighthouse]

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

Yes but there is absolutely no chance that this is going to happen this time.

[Secret Site Agent]

Tella is popping up in all sorts of positions so far. Very lively. 

[igsey]

Best 15 minutes we've played all season?

Tella and Redmond are everywhere, and our passing is so crisp and quick.

[Saint_clark]

Referee has a very soft definition of what constitutes a foul.

[Viking Saint]

Ref doing everything he can to get Leicester back into it....

Yep. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with the forward players, but I like it. 

[Saint_clark]

We still have the issue of our wingers too often cutting back inside, but when our centre midfielders are JWP and Romeu surely they're better off trying to create something themselves on the wing?

[Saints foreva]

Still persisting with this pointless long throw from Salisu then.
