He definitely got lucky with only a yellow there.

And from that contact he raked his studs down...

[Saint Fan CaM]

Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves here chaps - you know Chelsea have at least one goal in them and some very good players on the bench. If we don’t sit back and get another goal we might just do the impossible.

Still, the best freekick taker on the planet passed them up. That is not normal

If the passing move had come off we'd be talking about it for years, butsadly  it didn't...JWP is man enough to make his own decisions and he was the one that decided it was too close and he'd try something else. If you want to believe it was forced on him by Jesus Jones/or JWP was doing it to lose the geme, that's fine....I can't be arsed to argue about it.  

 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Here we go - Sterling…he’ll score.

Are you saying that we're playing aggressively and on the front-foot?

yet he has never done that before, and I doubt will do after.  he has scored goals from that range and is the very best on earth at it...

Each to their own

[HKsaint]

Let’s win it and get Potter as our coach

[Saint NL]

Bournemouth beating wolves

[adrian lord]

JWP direct free kicks are 85% as good being awarded a penalty.

[OttawaSaint]

1st half Moi had 2 opportunities to spring Sulemana with a quick ball and dawdle on it.  Get Alcaraz on!

[Brissysaint]

This ref is really giving me the shits.

 

AMN 🙄

But Wolves still have 11 on the pitch.

[OttawaSaint]

Sterling push on AMN. Ignored, Chelsea nearly score. 

Edit: saw replay, no foul, v weak

[Bad Wolf]

AMN again...

[egg]

That was shite from AMN. Outmuscled, outpaced and looked like he have up. 

[Saint Matty 76]

Maitland-Niles is an absolute joke

If KWP is on the bench surely he could do 30 minutes or so

[The Kraken]

Weak from AMN.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Yep, AMN now becoming a liability - needs replacing.

[Saint_clark]

Bournemouth winning ffs.

[Chez]

. Onuachu ragdolling Chillwell. Love it. AMN apart, who is far too casual to be a right back, we are not holding back. Get stuck chaps.

[Brissysaint]

All over us here, I’d get Alcaraz on for stu, he’s being exposed on a yellow.

[Bad Wolf]

AMN is utter turd

[Saint NL]

I say this every week, but why didn't we send AMN back to arsenal? 

Surely there was a better loan option out there.

[Manuel]

Capitulating

[skintsaint]

Got home to find us winning wtf. Was expecting to be a few down and go and do something else.

Looks like I will be glued to the game for the last 30mins!

COYS

[Mr X]

AMN just going through the motions 

[Saint NL]

Jesus, that was close

[GDog07]

We’ve played fantastically today, but I still cannot get excited about taking points until the 95th min.

Could just imagine how good a position we would have been in right now if we took 3pts last week 😩🥲

C’mon Saints, put in an incredible 2nd half performance and take 3pts today - I’m going to hide behind the sofa for the next 30mins 👀

[Saint Fan CaM]

Oh dear, starting to unravel and mostly because of weakness down our left side.

[The Kraken]

Come on Saints, settle it down.

Our left? 

Or theirs?

[OttawaSaint]

We've not been at the races this half. Need to get back on the front foot. 

[obelisk]

Sterling vs AMN is a disaster waiting to happen.

[Mr X]

Jesus why do we always let our foot off the gas 

[BotleySaint]

Chelsea coming into it more, as you'd expect.

[Bad Wolf]

Stream dead...Anyone?

[Suhari]

Theirs.

AMN getting done every time.

Need KWP on.

[Saint_clark]

Calm down lads, Chelsea were always going to come out firing. See it through till their adrenaline fades.

[Saint NL]

One way traffic at the moment.

 

[OttawaSaint]

Get KWP on for AMN, Alcaraz for Moi.

[Saint Matty 76]

Triple sub...

And aggressive?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Sully starting to founder also - needs refreshing Ruben - don’t do a Ralph and leave it too late!!!

[Saint NL]

The back of the collar on the Chelsea shirt looks like a kid has scribbled on it in crayon.

 

[The Kraken]

Triple sub upcoming for saints.

[HKsaint]

Why

[Saint Matty 76]

Nah sorry but that is an outrageous set of substitutions looool

[Archers Road Stand]

That's three very grim subs coming on. 

[Mr X]

Need to get a grip on this half fast! too many Chelsea shots flying in
