Saints 2-2 Leeds - Match Thread

[SaintTex]

Back 4. 
 

all 5 of our new signings on the pitch. 
 

finally!!

[RedArmy]

So Ralph put Aribo upfront last week because he’d scored in pre season. Benched him after one game presumably because he didn’t score and now he scores off the bench. 
 

Ralph in a nutshell. Fucking clueless man. 

[The Kraken]

This formation is so much better, we’re finally able to play a bit further up the pitch.

Foul throw ffs 

[Professor]

Go Now. 
The only way for RH to retain any dignity is to go before he’s pushed.  He could at least earn some credit for the manner of his leaving. 

[Disco Stu]

Would you look at that. Change our shit shape are we suddenly look like a football team.

Almost as if playing the best players in a decent formation yields better results than dicking around. Question is whether Ralph can learn.

He's proven time and time again he can't learn 

[benjii]

Kids and grown ups love them so,

The goals of Joey Aribo.

[Nemi]

Ward-Prowse has been so bad today, he’s just hitting blind long balls into nowhere

[Saint NL]

Salisu gonna get a red card now, he's booked and saints leaving a lot of people up

[Suhari]

We can win this.

Be brave. Believe. Push.

Agreed. He shouldn't need learning periods in his fourth season.

[saintant]

Mr Stubborn goes to 4 at the back and suddenly we look better. Still, we all know he'll revert to 5 at the back next week.

[adrian lord]

2-2 👍🤣🤣🤣

Can I have some of what you are drinking

[Suhari]

ABK is going to become a legend.

[AlexLaw76]

Just think, Valery was deemed better than ABK just 1 week ago

Ralph OUT

That was never a yellow - was miles away from the Leeds player who bought the foul.

[OttawaSaint]

What's with all the notes being passed in games? Are players that thick that they can't remember a new instruction by the time they run into the pitch?

It is time for a new manager

I dont dispute what you are saying

 

But I still feel it is the quality of the squad which needs addressing as this current squad is poor

 

It is ridiculous to expect to survive in the PL without two decent strikers

 

The full back situation seems bizzare with Djneppo playing in a back 5 because both Tino and Perraud are injured especially at home

[santolijador]

What a ball Sekou

[OttawaSaint]

KWP!!!!

[The Kraken]

Come on!!

[Mr X]

KWP from a tight angle! 

[Baird of the land]

Glorious ball by Mara

[AlexLaw76]

Shocker, within 10 mins of a proper formation, we are back level

[skintsaint]

Holy Moly! If we win this RALPH IN!

[woodsaint1]

Great ball Mara

[The Kraken]

Brilliant from Mara.

[Suhari]

Boom.

Was it Mara with the assist?

[Saint NL]

Great play, did not see that coming

[Mr X]

If we get a point let's not let this turn into Ralph stay..... We've got out of jail nothing else! 

[stknowle]

Ralph’s subs have worked a treat! We need stick with this tactical genius!!!!

[FarehamSaintJames]

THERE YOU GO AGAIN RALPH!

FUCK OFF FOVE AT THE BACK, PLAY TO YOUR TEAMS STRENGTHS!

[Saint NL]

It was, great pass

[Turkish]

Brilliant subs and tactical changes from Ralph! A Ralph masterclass!

[striker]

All those notes being passed say "forget what Ralph says lets do this"

Great pass. Also Aribo makes a big difference, why is he on the bench.

[OttawaSaint]

Would you look at that Ralph, great hold up by Adams, cracking ball Mara, finish KWP!

No 3 at back, no Bednarek, no interesting possibilities, no automatisms, no sideways and back. Just proper attacking decisive football.

[skintsaint]

Got them rattled, lets get a third.....AA its your time!

Bedwetter

[saintant]

This is how we play not five at the back. What a difference. If we don't win this it will be down to the starting line up.

That’s a brilliant goal

Saved by Ralph for the push in the last 30 minutes 

[The Kraken]

If this doesn’t get rid of the shocking 3 at the back experiment then nothing will.

Billy Ketchup doesn’t seem to suit a 3, just looks a bit more assured as a 2 so he knows exactly who he’s supposed to be marking.

All fed to him by the other two! 

[obelisk]

What a change. Saints have some good players. They just need to be allowed to play.

[Donatello]

Quick, change to a back 5!!! 

[OttawaSaint]

Free kick in JWP range...

what a pass

[Warriorsaint]

The collective blood pressure in this thread is laughable. 
Its a 90 minute game 😂 

 

 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Ralph still needs a reaming for allowing us to get to 0-2 down. We have the players now…just needs some balls to play the right formation and select the right team!
