Swansea 2-3 Saints - Match Thread

[Lighthouse]

When Long and Moi came on, I knew immediately they were definitely the men to win it for us.

[davefizzy14]

Long get in! Brilliant from Prowsey, top draw cross

[John Boy Saint]

Still got it 😂😂😂😂😂

[stknowle]

Haha fuck OFF.

I luv Shane Long put another dime in the jukebox BABY!

[DT]

What a pass from Ward Prowse. One bit of quality even on grass this long…

[Saint_clark]

Shane Long means goals, goals, goals.

[AlexLaw76]

Shane long's minutes to goal ratio is better than A.Armstrong!!!

 

[Suhari]

Long = goals, goals, goals.

With the takeover, we'll be able to give him a new contract.

It's a reverse psychology/tempting fate or whatever .....

In the noticeable absence of the nuns it is a useful weapon !!

 

Now bring on the nuns for a couple more Saints goals

ageing like a fine wine.

Right. Defend properly. No silly fouls. Waste time. Keep the ball.

Armstrong, what is the point of him ?

Is he even on the pitch??

[Chez]

where the fuck was their defence? Who cares?

[nta786]

Fraser Forster second time now he parried it straight to a Swansea player this game.

Lucky it goes wide

New contract time.

Longy misjudged that - he was onside. 😂

Couldn’t keep up with longs pace and clever movement. He must start the next game 

[Matty's Caddy]

Forster absolute liability 

[Saints foreva]

Let off for Forster there. Awful goalkeeping. 

[LGTL]

Hopefully we’ll see it out but this squad needs a massive overhaul. 

[Donatello]

Sweetest thing about it is being able to listen to the commentators having to come to terms with it 😄

[OttawaSaint]

Nearly 2 years between goals for Long. Roll on 2024!

[adrian lord]

Not sure why the BBC can’t separately time the extra time.

harsh. Decent save, and pushed it out wide.

[Ed Rooney]

Forster safest hands in football 

[obelisk]

Funny old game.

[DT]

Is there another goal in this?

This. He’s made some important saves/punches. Could maybe have been more vocal on their second

Swansea are dreadful. Even with ten we should dominate with out £100m wage bill. So many average players

The biggest shame with Valery's sending off, is that it probably ended the chances of the young lads getting some decent minutes

For those that like to moan about the team, I sincerely hope so....

Disagree. Considering we're without KWP, Small, Tino, Adams, Sailsu and Djenny this isn't a bad effort for ten men in a cup game. 

[DT]

Come on saints. See it through. One day we will do this clinically and with no hairy moments. Possibly this century. 

[DT]

Has Adam Armstrong touched the ball?

great one on one save, but his kicks into touch haven't been up to standard.

Yep. This performance is down to being down to 10, this score is down to a decent effort from the weakened squad.

I think you're right. Ralph is quick to forgive ineptitude from the senior pros but quick to punish mistakes from the younger ones.

Didn't even realise he was on the pitch...!

Did anyone else know Swansea haven’t played for a month? I cast believe the commentators haven’t mentioned it yet

I'd say lose Long, Moi, Forster, Walcott and Djenepo, then bring in a decent GK, #10 and forward, personally.

Is it just me or has Adam Armstrong contributed absolutely fuck all since he’s been on?

 

[nta786]

Shane Long has actually been my MOTM if we hold on.

[Sunglasses Ron]

OMG haha!
