Saints 3-1 West Ham - Match Thread

[Turkish]

Djenepo is on fire!

[Chez]

Djenepo in a nutshell. Looks exciting but... 

[AlexLaw76]

Djenepo has been atrocious so far.

 

Hopefully just a bit rusty 

[Saint_clark]

Feels like one of very few last chances Djenepo will get.

[igsey]

Get Djenepo off already.

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

I see that C**T zouma is still playing. If I was on the pitch with that C**T I would pick him up and kick him as hard as I could the cowardly C**T

Djenepo - embarrassment 

Again!

[Saint Matty 76]

Djenepo has to go this Summer.

I understand why we bought him with his one-a-game moments of looking like a world beater, but he just hasn’t been fine tuned at all.

Maybe send him out on loan and see if he does anything, similar to Moi.

[Saint_clark]

No excuse for not pressing at 100% here.

[OttawaSaint]

Taxi for Djenepo. Wtf was that pass?

[Uncle Albert]

Fuck me djenepos shit.

Actually not worried about Valery at CB like others, he's been quality there every time he's played.

Biggest thing with this line up is it means Villa at the weekend becomes a must win really for Ralph to be vindicated.

I’m not even sure that’s enough really. Decent league place but not a favourite for European football, draw opening up, fancied at least a Wembley semi. Hope I’m wrong but I can’t see that lot competing with West Ham over 90 minutes with quite a few mid table Championship players featuring and just taking the game to ET against established Premier League players would be an outstanding achievement with that line up. Hopefully the players can pull off a cup upset and play a division or two above their level. 

[Mr X]

West ham on top at the moment 

[nta786]

WHU have had 2 big chances now, playing us off the park.

We look like headless chickens with the movement and pressing - need to shithouse a goal somehow because Ralph still playing a suicidal high line which with this side is worrying.

[Chez]

West Ham should score there. Tore us apart, with players between the liens killign us 

[Saint86]

Well... We aren't losing yet... (touches wood).

Only Ralph is not surprised.

[Croissaint]

Back to running around chasing people and losing the ball. Will be knackered by half time. None of the enjoyable passing.  Control.
 

Feel this will be a disaster

Only just 10 minutes in mate, let's not overreact. They're on a high from their huge away following, they'll come down.

[Edmonton Saint]

This is the side we started against Swansea in round 3.. further we get, the worse our side gets… 

[Saint_clark]

Fuck was that flick from Smallbone??? Actually do some simple stuff first before you try rabona shit.

[Mr X]

Why have we started with this line up? 

[Chez]

better from us.

[Lighthouse]

Sod’s law says we rest 80% of our team and get a bad injury to one of the only three players we genuinely give a sh*t about - The WP brothers or Perraud.

[Mr X]

Dejenepo needs to leave the club

[Saint_clark]

Smallbone and Djenepo the biggest issues with this lineup. Two of Redmond, Armstrong and Elyounoussi in those places and we'd be much more of a threat.

[Teddeer]

Much better. Keep it up.

[Saint_clark]

Thought they changed the rules on handball so those accidental ones can't be given???

[Chez]

Armstrong looks sharper to me. I hope when the chance does his way he has got a bit of confidence back and can take it.

[igsey]

Not sure who is worse, Djenepo or Smallbone. Joke that they are our creative players in this lineup.

[Uncle Albert]

Djenepo straight into a brick wall there, just like the start of the season.

[Saint_clark]

Foul given against Diallo that wasn't given as a foul when it happened to Broja v Spurs. Cunts.

[FarehamSaintJames]

Djenepo reminds me of Bambi on ice.

Need to be looking to get rid in the summer.

Not sure you can blame this ref for a mistake made by a different ref in a different game, in fairness.

[Saints foreva]

The CBs are all over the place. Really poor opening 20 from us. 

[Chez]

West Ham should score again there. The forward interplay is just too good for us.

Needs to go on loan...... to pompey!

[OttawaSaint]

There's rotating and then there's this. Smallbone, Valery and Djenepo shouldn't be anywhere near this team.

I can and I will.

[nta786]

Long down in the 20th minute - are these lot so bad we need to take our gel packs this early?  

[Saint_clark]

That cunt knew exactly what he was doing there with the knee in the back.

You can tell this back four haven't played together before. Valery in particular is way too high up when he should be level with Stephens.

Says it all that he has picked him. Clearly not getting offered a new contract, a year left, it’ll be a loan to perm in Turkey or Greece. Smallbone needs cameos, pitching him in tonight is not good management but he may have a future here post injury much longer run.

Moussa clearly doesn’t. If the manager wants to wear a hair shirt for being an oddball, at least play one of the better u19s there to try. Redmond totally out of the picture, on the bench but hardly played recently. Must be getting sold in the summer as well.

Smallbone needs to go on loan next year in the Champ, beef up and trust his body post ACL.

A Armstrong a bonus so far, surprisingly sharp given the limited recent game time.

doubt anyone would complain (especially those that hate his diving and crying). Its not worked at all. Still time for him to blossom, but not sure it will be here.

As poor as he is, you still get the feeling he might do something at any moment. He's so unpredictable.

[Saint_clark]

Smallbone is hiding, not presenting himself for the pass at all. 

[nta786]

Djenepo good tracking back there, credit where its due.

Armstrong's acceleration looks decent tbf, need to make use of that

[Saint_clark]

KWP seems unusually reluctant to get forward too.
