Saints 2-0 Man City - The Treble is STILL on!

[Colinjb]

So, this is a refreshing change.

[Saint Gifford]

Wow!!!!!!! Unbelievable what a half

[saintant]

Orsic off the bench to smash one into the top corner.

[qwertyell]

Midfield three. Been banging this drum for four years of Hasenhuttl and his perennially overrun midfield. 

We just look more solid when we can gunk up the middle of the park. 

Helps that Lavia is ridiculous for his age, mind.

Come on, let's see this out.

[NewYorkSaint]

Possible theory. NJ has given players like Lyanco and Djenepo a jolt of belief and confidence.... 

[Saint Billy]

This performance is confusing the shit out of me.

Will City change strips at half time?

Joking aside, I have absolutely no idea why they aren't wearing their first kit anyway.

[Saint_clark]

Calling it now, City's first shot on target will be in.

[Dman]

Fully expect us to lose this one still, but you won’t complain if we do. City are a team of super stars. 
 

great half from us, a different team to that we have seen under Jones previously. Long may it continue. 

[Vancouver Saint]

Thanks for the link 31 cc. Well that was a pleasant surprise - wow! We actually played with heart and passion and scored two great goals - amazing. Hopefully we can hold on to a win and avoid a replay and injuries.

[DT]

They’ve only brought Nathan Ake on because he has a stupid Christian name

[whelk]

Lavia is going to keep us up

[DT]

We need to go for a third

[doc oli]

Lavia so so good 

[Pickles]

Did our boys have to take a drug test at halftime lol? What a marvelous performance so far.Let's finish off these Man City idiots.

[Saint_clark]

Even diallo is moving the ball well. 

Is he the deepest midfielder? Lavia seems to be positioned further forward.

Too good and will undoubtedly not be playing for us next season

Looks like we are, thankfully. Queuing up on their backline.

[Ed Rooney]

Lavia has been unreal so far, is pep sorting out the buy back

shut up alpine

[saintscottofthenortham]

I've often watched players who I've known are too good for us, but none more so than Lavia. He is going to be a top, top, top player. Enjoy him whilst we can. 

[CanadaSaint]

Nothing against Adams but we're looking much better without a target man. There's a far lower temptation to whack it at him.

Nath did say that we're not looking to keep the score down

[Block 5]

It looks like we've gone 5-3-2

[Saint_clark]

Commentator slating the home fans lack of noise, might have something to do to the entire northam being given to away fans mate...

Different types of player, though. As good as we look tonight, we're not keeping hold of the ball up top like we do with Adams up there. He can't finish his dinner, but he does that part of the game very well.

[OttawaSaint]

Wow, calmness in our own box.

Is Jeremy Beadle going to run out at some point?

[Saint NL]

What the hell was that from Grealish?

[adrian lord]

No don’t do those changes….

[Saint Matty 76]

Haaland and Elyounoussi coming on. 

Somewhat funny.

[Saint_clark]

"Totally accidental"??? Listen, djenepo made a meal of that but how obviously biased can you be to try and say grealish didn't deliberately body check him there.

[DT]

He’s doing a triple change. Why I don’t know. And Harland is coming on

[OttawaSaint]

Oh fuck, here comes Haaland!

[Saint_clark]

Nothing wrong with our performance even in the second half and he makes drastic changes...

That really would be a watch out from the grave! 

[Saint NL]

Che, Perraud and Elyounoussi?

Let's see what they bring

[Baird of the land]

No way was that accidental

Not sure its a red card but should have been a yellow card imo

Don't dispute that at all. My point is that our build-up is better because we have to work the ball instead of whacking it.

[Sheaf Saint]

Perraud and Elyounoussi coming on.

If he’d been fit all season and we had a reasonable striker we’d be comfortably mid-table, possibly top half.

[DT]

Just kick Harland for half an hour

Bit too early for my liking

You really don’t know?

Probably because we’re going to have to work our tits off this half so fresh legs will obviously help.

[Archers Road Stand]

5 at the back by the looks of it. 

[Mr X]

Is djenepo knackered? What's the thinking? 

[DT]

Need to do some shithousery time wasting and winding up. We’re rubbish at that. 

[Roboze]

SHIT, for a moment there i forgot about Haaland...

10 minutes into the second half is very early to be making that many changes, especially when we've actually been competitive in the second half anyway.

Dunno about that, but definitely would’ve been better. Very good player and the only one in our squad who can effectively play the defensive midfield role so well.

if we hadn't made changes he'd be saying why haven't we made any
