Vote for MOTM: Saints v Arsenal

[The Kraken]

A game of two halves!

[Sheaf Saint]

Lyanco, no question.

[AlexLaw76]

Lyanco for me

[Lighthouse]

I voted Perraud but could have given it to any of the back four/five. Baz put in some excellent saves, Lyanco and DCC gave a lesson in sh*thousery (I’ll bet 75% of other fans watching on Sky are saying, "we’re too nice, why can’t we play like Saints against the big boys instead of rolling over." Etc). Salisu did nothing wrong either.

[Micky]

Don't mind if I do this week, we showed some bottle and bollux today, long may it continue.  Lyanco bossed it today. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

I'd have put Lyanco, but I'm huffy about the elbow first half and headbutt in the second. He even checked the colour of the card himself. 🙂

So, I went for Perraud, who put in his usual hard working shift, and also helped drive us back into the game.

[rooney]

Lyanco with Perraud close second.Lianco is so tough.

 

 

[Saintscummer]

Calata Car for me. With notable mentions to the whole defence including keeper. 
 

caleta car was so calm and always seems to be in the right place at the right time 

 

Jesus did not enjoy playing against him. 

[real saint]

Lyanco looked like the only when with any fight first half, then 1 by 1 it seemed to filter to the others by the end everyone was pressing the ball and in numbers was good to watch for a change.

[Kingsland Codger]

Robert Jones

[Dark Munster]

Mo Ely for me was outstanding and my choice, but Lyanco a very close second. You can see why Lyanco is becoming a fans' favourite, his attitude is 100% brilliant, and as others have said he seems to raise the whole team with his whole hearted (and slightly nutty) efforts (and he has some ability). I also thought his throw-ins were very good, including better long ones than Salisu into the box.

[Pamplemousse]

For causing the fanbase supporting the league leaders to have a collective meltdown, all on public display for us to laugh at, has to be Lyanco 

[saintwbu]

Lyanco for me. I’ve only seen him live 2/3 times but he’s been good each time, so i’m always surprised by the stick he’s had. He’s pretty quick across the ground too, he bombed down the right in the first half at one point. Also thought DCC was impressive, no nonsense and a proper defender, the sort that other teams seem to have and we haven’t recently - doesn’t mind some pushing and pulling but is always trying to win the ball.

So am I, for some reason a number the SWF intelligentsia  set against him early on. We have been desperately lacking character in the team for a long time, he provides that.

It felt like as soon as people read some Torino fans saying he wasn’t very good, they’d made their minds up. He’s been our best player away at Chelsea in the cup last year, and at home to Arsenal in the league yesterday - not bad for a £7mil back up CB. 

[Saint Garrett]

Won't get a better 4th choice CB. Proper cult hero already tbh.

Some fans made their minds up on him because Torino fans said he was crap, and then he had a bit of a mare on his debut away at Sheff Utd. 

But more than capable of stepping in, gives his all, and gives us a bit of physicality that we lack throughout the squad.

[niceandfriendly]

Think Torino fans only said he was shite because he celebrated when he played against them on loan. Well happy with him.

[John Boy Saint]

He even made Ralph laugh when Blackmore mentioned Lyanco post match, normally he supresses positive comments from Blackmore about players notable performances. 

Good to see the Reducer is not totally lost in todays sanitised game. 

[Saint IQ]

Lyanco was great but for me MOTM was clearly Mohamed Elyounoussi

last ditch goal stopping tackles from rw worked his socks off all game and set up Stu a goal on a plate.

OK, who voted for Theo ?

Moi and Perraud were the outstanding performers, and Stu. Caleta Car on another day (another ref) would have given away a few free kicks, Lyanco was lucky to be on the pitch after Nketia had swapped shirts with him. It was good to see some players who have been getting some stick from people on here showing up well, I actually think Perraud could become a bit of a cult hero.

If the players are savvy enough they’ll play to the tolerance levels that the referee has established early in the game. They’ll push things as far as they can without going over the line.
