Saints 1-1 Spurs - Match Thread

[egg]

Should have done better there. 

[Chez]

why on earth are we not making the third sub?

[trousers]

Broja should do better there?

[DT]

Love it when Fraser falls to the ground for no reason after catching it high   Classic timewaste. 

[Saint_clark]

Stupid, keep hold of it

No idea. 

[Lighthouse]

Well if nothing else, Watford’s GD has taken a small wallop in a winnable game.

[Saint_clark]

Please don't let there be a handball from VAR

[OttawaSaint]

Fuck, pj bottoms ruined!

[Chez]

KWP does enough there.

Shitting himself about going down to 9 men.

[Saint_clark]

Get in Forster!!! 

Valery dove in way too rashly.

[Saint_clark]

How is that a corner??

Especially from the altitude he starts at.

[nta786]

FT 1-1!!!

[adrian lord]

Excellent point in the circumstances.

[DT]

Great. Great result

[Saint_clark]

Full time as we have two players breaking away....brilliant.

[OttawaSaint]

Yessssssss! Brilliant rear guard action!!!

[DT]

Excellent performance full of fight

[trousers]

Yay! Superb draw in the circumstances.

[obelisk]

Well played Saints.

[Chez]

well done chaps. Worked very hard. Lots of stuff to defend against but did just enough. Very happy with that.

[adrian lord]

Lots of superb, characterful performances. Very pleasing. 

[Picard]

That's to good performances.

[Fan The Flames]

Well done Saints. Really pleased with that.

[DT]

Fraser superb again even barring that drop. Makes the difference. 

[BERMUDASAINT]

F#ck you ref, well done Saints, great character to hold onto that draw!

[the colonel]

well done saint. that's 4 points from the two Christmas games I didn't expect.

[moonraker]

Brilliant performance by Saints, anyone who finds fault with that performance needs to ask themselves if they really support The Saints.

[NewYorkSaint]

Wow. Wow. Wow.  What a heroic defensive performance.  Proud of the team.  This will do everyone's morale and self-belief a power of good.

[Chez]

Not just us then that can't put ten men away! Not easy when teams drop deep

[Toadhall Saint]

Well done saints 

[DT]

Really happy. A good week

[Jimmy_D]

Tip my hat to that one Saints, Great result!

Rode our luck slightly that second half but we deserved that luck.

KWP was immense, second half especially.

[Lighthouse]

Well my Calvin’s are going in the bin. Luckily my mum always gives me a new multipack for Xmas.

[Saint_clark]

Actually really difficult to beat at home this season.

[AlexLaw76]

Excellent point.  I know we are masters at dropping points, but that was 1 point won.

The ref was appalling.  Killed the game. 

Brilliant defending.. We are so much better now we have seemingly moved on from the 4222

[OttawaSaint]

Annnnnnd breathe.

Too bad Broja's shot didn't just drop in but that's a superb point.

[stknowle]

Now that was fucking well played. Best performance of the season for me. May well have won without the sending off.

[Turkish]

Fantastic that, proper resilient performance. KWP was magnificent and impressed with Valery, thought he did really well. If we can get a win against Newcastle who look like they’ll be without Wilson and Saint Maximin then that’ll be a great return.

[DT]

KWP immense. Perraud excellent. Even Valery put in a shift. JWP amazingly good, Broja did indeed stretch it nicely for us and Fraser adds a lot of confidence to the back line. Has to stay

I’m half glad it is something Ralph has worked on.

If we rewind the clock 11 months, us going down to 10 men would have a 5-1 capitulation all over it.

That’s Leicester back end of last season and now tonight where we’ve shown we can be compact. Pundits often say sometimes it is harder to break down a 10-man team so over the moon it worked in our favour.

[Sheaf Saint]

Having got the unexpected win at WH I'd have happily taken a point today even without the sending off. 

Actually hoping the Newcastle game gets postponed now so Salisu and KWP can serve their suspensions for the Swansea game. 

[Hawkswood]

Have to be honest, couldnt watch the second half. Bad for my anxiety. So I will say this, great first half performance- much to my surprise - from everyone. Some will complain about Salisu being rash and fair enough but his first card was never a yellow. What makes this doubly satisfying is that we didnt break the record of most goals conceded in a calendar year and even if we dont beat Newcastle, 4 points against West ham and spurs was not 4 points that I was expecting. Fantastic stuff.

[StrangelyBrown]

Another spirited performance from the players especially given the poor decisions from the officials. I could grow to like this team

Another good result that I hadn't expected. well done Ralph - a good tactical performance.

 

[CanadaSaint]

Superb effort. If Taylor had added thirty moe seconds Broja would have stolen it at the death.

[SaintSteve]

Absolutely superb second half..Ward-Prowse excellent, but thought Valery played well given his lack of minutes.

[Uncle Albert]

Heart on the sleeve stuff there, especially from Walker-Peters.

Spurs fans ranting about him as well, especially over FF dropping the ball and being awarded a foul.
