Saint NL Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Nice through balls.... Something this team have missed since Tadic left
The Juice Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Djenepo like a new signing at LB, credit to him for his attitude and work-rate back there. 5
Saint_clark Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Here we go, jippy little freekick right on halftime.
Saint_clark Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Bazunus positioning for these freekicks worries the fuck out of me.
The Kraken Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 6 minutes ago, OttawaSaint said: Not that they have been bad or anything but imagine if we gad a real left back and two quality AMs to replace Djenepo, AA and Moi. To be fair to Djenepo, he’s so far had an excellent game. He’s defended well but has obviously been given instruction to not bomb forward too much. Armstrong has also looked quite lively. Moi has been anonymous again. 1
Saint NL Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 5 seconds injury time. Half time, not too bad. Fortunate with the goal mouth scramble, but ABK should have scored. Can definitely get all three points here..
obelisk Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Fairly tight even half. Game could be won/lost in the way substitutions are used.
skintsaint Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Good half, matched them well. Please don't give a stupid goal away straight after the restart! ABK looks quality. 1
Convict Colony Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Too many threads about the game, didnt know where to post. Our CBs are monsters, I dont know what Moi is offering us down the right side if Arma and djnepo can work on the left I would of thought we could of had armstrong as he at least has more pace. Adams getting into the CBs, Aribo not in the game at the moment and Lavia a rolls royce.
Colinjb Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 A very encouraging half. These youngsters are absolute units. Very strong, intelligent, do not look at all phased. Full blooded and seemingly well organised. Delighted so far. Mara to come off the bench to score the winner?
Baird of the land Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 They had the best chance but saints had more. Lovely ball from elyounessi, pity Adams couldn't wrap his foot around it. Equally I think Armstrong should have been expecting the ball to get to him and should have done better.
Saint_clark Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 We have definitely made a conscious effort to limit our energy output in the first half. There was a noticeable increase in effort after half an hour, and hopefully that bodes well for the second half. 2
Convict Colony Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 I think both KWP and BK need to get some sort of bonus after both blocking hard shots with their faces in that half

Moi did play that superb through ball for adams to scuff , so hadn’t been completely anonymous.. bella kotchup and lavia both looking more and more superb every game you see them, think abk looks better then salisu already tbh.
obelisk Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Saints saving themselves for the last 20 minutes. Just try not to be a goal or two behind this time lads.
Warriorsaint Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Almost prefer getting battered than this kind of display that gives me hope. You know one piece of skill from these cnuts will undo everything. Fair play to Saints. We are still in this. 2

SNSUN Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Their attack is possibly more blunt than ours! Apart from the flurry of blocks and save they haven’t done a lot going forwards although they’ve had the bulk of possession. ABK has probably been the best player on the pitch bar maybe Eriksen. I’d still definitely take a draw here but it could go either way.
sfc4prem Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 ABK is exceptional. Uses his physicality well, is pacey and reads the game well, too. 1

As usual he's been inconsistent, but his ball control is at times superb. Worth his starting place, especially as it means the players coming on are more likely to improve the performance if his slips.
saintant Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Hard to call which way this will go. Hopefully we can put them under more pressure because I'm not sure they're that good defensively. I guess it depends how brave we want to be because pushing on will obviously leave us vulnerable on the counter.
The Kraken Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Saints have done well but I feel like Man United haven’t yet got themselves out of first gear. Expecting a sterner test of it second half, hopefully our lads can pinch a goal and hold strong at the back. 1

Saint NL Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Lots of praise (deservedly) for ABK. Expect him to scuff a backpass into the net now 😥 2

Saint_clark Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 United come out with a lot more effort, unsurprisingly. Ride it out saints.
OttawaSaint Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Typical that we're facing this rejuvenated Utd. We're doing well but it'll take something really special to win this.

Saint_clark Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Fuck me, was there even anything we could have done about that? Where was KWP/ the midfield?
saintant Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Been coming - they've upped it and we haven't. 1

OttawaSaint Posted 27 August, 2022 Posted 27 August, 2022 Bazunu no chance with that but who's man was Fernandes? 1
