Interesting you say that because in the 5 minutes before the goal everyone on here was moaning about us just hoofing it forward. 

Newcastle weren't hoofing it though. Just quick ball and one time passes.

[hypochondriac]

Think we've played well to be honest. Like normal we can't score but still something to build on for the second half.

Just caught the tail end of the half. Mo's miss at pace, after a really good move. A wasted looking delivery from JWP. Stu looking involved in a lot. I'll read the comments later, to see if that was our best couple of minutes or not. 🙂

[stknowle]

Anyone else getting the old 'bad gateway' treatment?

[Sheaf Saint]

Big chance for Moi to equalise. Should have done better really.

Overall it's not been too bad a performance. Certainly a big improvement on last week's first half display at Palace anyway.

Such fine margins. I thought Newcastle's goal lucky. Moi unlucky. That was an incredible team move by Saints.  An independent observer, knowing nothing else about the league, would say the two teams about equal... not at opposite ends of the table.   We'll need a bit of luck, but could still get something from this.

yes 

[obelisk]

JWP's corners and free kicks looking less than dangerous again.

[The Cat]

Should be 1-1, horrendous miss.

We're obviously squeezing play by pushing defence forward. Not trying to play out from the back. Direct balls forward and pick up possession from there. Better than the way we played first half at Palace that's for sure.

Stuart Armstrong stand out player in the first half, good to see Lavia back on the pitch.

Yep.

[Baird of the land]

I missed the first 15 minutes.(so maybe we were good then but i doubt it)

Since i've been watching we've been utter garbage with exception of move at end of the half where Moi(who had been exceptionally bad) missed a proper chance.

 

[Saint NL]

Elyounoussis miss was so bad it took out Saintsweb 😂

[Maggie May]

Oh great, Chris Wood.

Wtf was AMN doing? Seriously what was that???

Wtf are the CBs doing? In what world is it a good idea for both of them to charge out a balls they'll never win and leave the full-back 3-on-1? Maybe it isn't just a Bednarek problem because this happens every single game.

[qwertyell]

Forum's fucked. Probably for the best.

Truly inept defending for the goal. Both CBs sold themselves, then Maitland-Niles put on his clown shoes...

Elyounoussi missed an absolute sitter.

We've not been awful. But there's no quality. Walcott predictably invisible.

Newcastle much more dangerous going forward.

Can we muster a rousing second half come back? Not optimistic.

I heard you the first 3 times 😉

The forum isn't happy, is it.

[Mr X]

Three bad tackles in a row leading up to their goal with Maitland Niles attempted clearance embarrassing 

[Mixedkebab]

Someone may have already mentioned this, but why the fuck didn’t Che take that shot with his left?

[Saint_clark]

Moi ignores the pass which would have put Adams one on one on his stronger foot. Really frustrating.

[HKsaint]

Can we add one more player by removing Walcott?

[Saint NL]

Decent start to the half tbf

[striker]

I think some of you are really underestimating the technical ability involved in MoEly's miss. You try hitting a ball 2 feet over the bar from 2 feet away, it is not easy to do

[OttawaSaint]

Have we had penalty yet this season. I don't remember any in the EPL.

We are so lacking quality in our attacking positions.

Just not PL quality.

It was wide, not over, wasn't it?

He wouldn't have a leg to stand on...

[Chez]

nice forward pass by AMN. Bit of composure and decent weight of pass too - not said that often this season.

Moi being Moi. How he missed that chance on HT is beyond me.

It's a lack of vision that's the biggest issue. We make some really good runs but they get ignored. 

 

On a side note, what happens to that rule that the flag stays down until the attack plays out when we're the ones going through?? Last game the lino put his flag up straight away and it turned out to be onside, just happened again and it was tight. 

[Saint Matty 76]

Get Edozie and Mara on for Walcott and Moi ffs.

How Moi keeps getting away it is beyond belief. Walcott experiment unsurprisingly horrific.

[OttawaSaint]

Ralph must have cried at HT. Saints trying harder.

[Baird of the land]

Playing walcott is like playing 10 men.

[Micky]

Jesus,  i could've hit the target

[Saint_clark]

Fucking hell Adams...come on...

[Saint Matty 76]

There’s the Che sitter fuck off

[obelisk]

Adams misses another sitter

[Chez]

got some ball in midfield...but need the attacking players to do a little more.

[Suhari]

Adams with another miss.

[stknowle]

Nice one Adams. Yet another good chance goes begging.

fuck off adams

[Lee On Solent Saint]

fucks sake che

[USaint]

Adams with too much time to think shocker

[Saint_clark]

I will point out that was a good ball by Elyounoussi there to Adams.

[OttawaSaint]

Ugh, so close Adams. We can't afford to miss the few chances we get. 

[Mr X]

Adams has to do better with direction of shot there!

another game where we would be winning if players had enough quality to finish. This happens to the best players in the world, i get that, but if it keeps happening, it's a trend.

Yep. Get the young guns on.
