If he doesn't want to go back to Chelsea, there are plenty of clubs who could afford to pay him a lot more than we can 😕

HT: Southampton 1-0 Brighton.

Definitely fair reflection on game

He might not want to but Chelsea will see the potential class and want him back no doubt 

[jasonb]

Good watch. Broja too much for them at times. 

[Gingeletiss]

Good goal....lots of empty seats....everyone playing well, but now the teamtalk!!!!!

 

[Baird of the land]

Typical saints. Good first half performance but Should be at least 2 up but instead leave the door ajar for Brighton.

[Sunglasses Ron]

Time for the team to leave the stadium and the doppelgängers to come on.

[obelisk]

Saints really could have more than one goal with some calmer work in the final third.

[AlexLaw76]

2nd half breakdown?

Great 1st half really, some good stuff played. Tella has been a threat, but without really hurting them. Lyanco good, Broja very good

[hypochondriac]

Will this be a copy of Wednesday where we are decent in the first half and then let them change things and lose the lead second half?

Excellent, ready for one of Ralph's legendary half time talks...!

[SNSUN]

A second would really calm the nerves but we know what we're like in the second half.

 

How is Lyanco getting on?

[TWar]

Superb so far, Tella, Broja, JWP, Romeu, Livra, Lyanco, and Salisu bossing it

Still feel we may regret these missed chances

Playing well.

[Manuel]

Excellent aggression up front, they all want to score.   Broja's so greedy in the box, it's a good thing and it's the sort of hunger to score that we need.  

[OttawaSaint]

But boss. Can I suggest we drop this crazy scheme of sending out those clones you created. They're shit and always lose it for us.

Nooo, my work is nearly done. Soon I will have perfected them with programmed automatics and will rule the football world!!!

Fucking nutjob...

[jamesfp1]

That goal from Broja was beautiful

[Teddeer]

Right, one nil up at half time. Lock the players in the dressing room with Ralph outside.

[Manuel]

No fancy, training ground set pieces so far then.  Looking to put it on Broja's head by the look of it.  

[obelisk]

McCarthy's had to make a couple of decent saves. Brighton far from out of this and they'll know it.

[Baird of the land]

After all the invention from corners midweek i’ve been surprised how simplistic our approach has been. With the likes of Duffy Brighton don’t look that vulnerable to aerial balls either.

A copy of Wednesday and at least half of the other games this season. Let's hope this is the game it changes!

[Totton Saint]

Thanks Iwill try it

Right now go out there second half and play like a team that can't be bothered in fact take a breather you deserve it and I'll pick numbers out a hat for subs  🤣

[CB Fry]

Let's see if we can get through the first ten minutes of the second half without conceding.

[qwertyell]

So far so good.

Unfortunately, this is where Brighton make one minor tactical half time tweak and then absolutely dominate us for the remainder of the game.

[BallBoy]

Do we really have to have half time?

[NewYorkSaint]

Man, if you could string together all of our first halves...  

We look such an exciting team. Tella's pace and Broja's class bring a lot. Lyanco is superstar in the making. JWP and Romeu total bosses.  

I'd bring on Moi and Diallo at some point to keep the energy up...  Big half coming up.

We're such a funny side. Wasn't it Strachan that said "if games were 80 minutes long,  we'd be top of the league".

Yep, this is where Ralph thinks he’s some kind of tactical fucking mastermind….gives a half-time talk that mystifies the team and makes subs that would make Wigley raise an eyebrow. 😂

[Saint_clark]

Any decent streams for mobile?

[LiberalCommunist]

Second half after a super first 45 mins. 

I don't know what else to say other than see you all in the moan thread tomorrow. Farewell.

[Dr Who?]

Here we go then. Get a second Saints rather than letting the oppo back in it quickly! Please. Big 45.

Abraham isn’t but yeah hopefully he’ll want to stay another year

[OttawaSaint]

Adams winning lots of headers. Come on lads let's get struck in and profit. 

[Monk]

1-0 fair reflection on the state of play. 

We've looked  good, in particular our pressing, pretty sure we've had a turn over on every press we've initiated from the GK. 

Redmond and Broja guilty at times with slow decision making, which has allowed Brighton to reorganise and compact the lines we're trying to play through. 

When playing from our defensive third, KWP closing his hips on play and tring to play right footed across his body, high risk strategy at times against pressing teams and has seen us lose possession. 

Underwhelmed by Brighton but still feel like we're easy to open up against multiple runners. 

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhhhhhh Bro. Just wide...gah!

[Sheaf Saint]

How did that not go in! 

[Saints foreva]

Should have got a 2nd there.

Broja can take a leaf out of Lukaku’s book who spent loans at Everton/West Brom for example.

Give us a season or two, get 15-30 PL goals + minutes and he can go back to Chelsea a better player.

Hopefully we can just receive a nice sum/profit!

[obelisk]

Another miss.

[OttawaSaint]

Ref has forgotten his cards...

[Sheaf Saint]

This ref really does not like getting his cards out does he

[Dr Who?]

Seriously do we practice popping the ball in the net or not?
