Under Hassenhuttl he's improved a lot because he keeps things simple. What he was doing there I do no know. 

Utterly untrue…. 
Has always been and is crap! 

[OttawaSaint]

Redmond was just watching Broja there, a burst forward and he'd have had a tap in.

[Saint Matty 76]

Salisu has been so, so good.

Nonsense, he was a lot worse when he first came here as he was used as a ball playing centreback. Since then he hits the ball forward and out of play first time a lot and it makes him much more solid.

Please renew Forster contract

Really frustrating that noone got in the middle.

Said it before but he really reminds me of Svensson with how aggressively he attacks the ball.

[Saint_clark]

So weird seeing us bully and outmuscle another team.

 

[OttawaSaint]

God and we'll have to endure Antonio getting a run out later...

[OttawaSaint]

I want to say something complimentary about FF but I'm scared...

[adrian lord]

Crisp, assured, clean passing performance so far.

Classy half by Elyounoussi. Jib. Cut of, like.

Salisu really good defending on several occasions. Man of the Half. 

WHU poor and reduced to simulations.

Not relishing the prospect of Antonio’s inevitable introduction, for it is written in the Scriptures that he will surely score against us.
 

 

[Saints foreva]

Good half. Unfortunately I think we know what happens in the 2nd half. 

[sammysaint93]

We all know Walcott is past it  but bloody hell he’s been bad. Ready for the classic second half performance now… 

[Red]

Impressed with how we are playing - let's hope it lasts for the 2nd half. Whys is McCarty playing ahead of FF?

Erm…..someone tell him. 

[macca155]

What a difference having Forster in goal. Ridiculous he's been kept on the bench for so many games.

Enjoying this so far COYS

I think he means prior to today...

[OttawaSaint]

Is this where FF plays out of his skin and we give him a new contact and then he turns to mush again?

He isn't. Can't you tell the difference!

[CB Fry]

Second half feels as inevitable as a turkey sandwich on Boxing Day.

[Convict Colony]

we know their goal is coming but i hope we try and score another - stu armstrong on for walcott and redmond swaps back to the left please

[NewYorkSaint]

Broja is so exciting to watch. Amazing combo of height, strength, dexterity, confidence.  Really great performance first half. Encouraging to see Salisu continue his ascent to truly world class centre back...   Good luck second half, Saints. Would so love to see a second goal for us.  

[Yozzman]

I just don't get the Forster love in. What does it take to actually try and catch the ball. Even his good save should have been pushed around the post.

Pretty sure he means in general over the season, not today.

We're going to get a stuffing no matter what...

I have a feeling we have been here before? 🤔

Antonio klaxon

It will likely be delayed by 25 minutes

Jesus, Antonio already involved. 49 mins to go...

[Saints foreva]

Fuck off. Free fucking header. 

[OttawaSaint]

Why do we come out looking like deer in the headlights,  every single game?

Wtf?!?

[Jeremy Corbyn]

Embarrassing.

[John Boy Saint]

Arse

[Disco Stu]

How predictable. Slow start to the second half AGAIN.

Edited 26 December, 2021 by Disco Stu

[Saint Matty 76]

Useless.

[OttawaSaint]

Offside!

[bpsaint]

Textbook. 3-1 loss incoming

[obelisk]

Oh well. Not really surprising though is it?

[Lighthouse]

So… Rice to win a penalty 3 minutes after he should have been given a stonewall second yellow, followed by the inevitable Antonio (90+3) to win it.

[davefizzy14]

Why can't we keep a lead! 

[BotleySaint]

Well, that didn't take long.

Usual lack of backbone shown.
