Saint Matty 76 Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 I’ll always love Ralph for the way he allows us to do this to teams we have no right to. Lack of finishing the issue yet again, but our football has been brilliant. I do worry we don’t get anything to show for it at full time though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 (edited) Bad VAR again. That looked like a handball(penalty) to me, certainly more than a 2 second review that was used. Fantastic performance by saints (just not the finishing/luck to go along with it) Sure we'll be made pay because spurs won't be that bad in the 2nd half.

NewYorkSaint Posted 9 February, 2022 Author Share Posted 9 February, 2022 Unbelievably exciting attacking play from Saints. Yes, frustrating we're not ahead. But what a team this has become. Romeu and JWP utterly dominant. Seeing Moi dazzle is a huge bonus. Whatever happens from here, it's cool to be supporting a team capable of such class. The days of Puel are far in the rear view mirror. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddeer Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 We've absolutely murdered them. If it was a boxing match the referee would have stopped it. Should be 3 or 4-1 up. Would have liked to see us shout more for the Hojbjerg handball - where was VAR on that as it looked like a pen. Still, we know what happens now don't we.

bpsaint Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 Battering Spurs in their own back yard but the scoreline tells a different tale. Come of lads don’t let us down keep this level up in the second half and the goals will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints foreva Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 1 minute ago, The Cat said: Don't they check everything? Surely the bloke on VAR just said no penalty so they carried on. It was checked, referee stopped play for the check to complete when the ball went out for a throw. Definitely gets given up the other end. We've played well but have missed some great chances. Conte will get into them at half time and they won't be anywhere near as bad as they were in that first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerx16 Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 From the BBC "Handball from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg?? It's being checked. The ball certainly hits the Dane on the arm, but it looks like he is pulling it away and VAR says nothing wrong with that. Would have been given last season."

Chez Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 Great half. Love watching us when we take it to teams. From front to back we have done well. Loved seeing Forster come off his line to claim a corner, Salisu's weight of pass out wide, the dominance of midfield and the way Broja takes the ball on the outside of his foot while at full sprint. Going to be hard to replicate that in the second half. We can can only get worse and they can only get better, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 Another cracking first half league performance from us. Lots of chances. Spurs haven't offered much.

OttawaSaint Posted 9 February, 2022 Share Posted 9 February, 2022 That's absolutely scandalous, handball, all day, week, month long. He literally moved his arm to control the ball. Textbook handball. Not given!?!? I guess I don't understand the laws. Last year, same thing Bertie was pulling his arms behind him and the ball struck his arm after being hit from a few yards away, ~10 mins later Wolves player (Dendonker I think) controlled the ball with his arm. Penalty given against Saints but not Wolves. AM I going crazy or did they change the laws to allow you to control the ball with your forearm? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
