Saints 1-0 Leicester - Match Thread

[benjii]

Elyounoussi is utterly utter dogshit.

I can't believe we've put him on playing in that advanced position when Sulemana, Walcott, Armstrong... could have played there. We'll barely muster an attack now.

Elyanoussi was quality then right up to point where he got a touch, miscontrolled it and gave it away 🤣🤣🤣

We were in a decent position until then. Now on back foot. Just highlights why he's one of the reasons we are where we are. 

[verlaine1979]

Moi ruined that attack twice in the same move. Talent.

[Brissysaint]

Might have to change tactics now, moi can’t play the same role as alcaraz obviously, we look a lot worse and don’t have a link now.

[Saint_clark]

Adams being stitched up a bit with some of the passing to him. Not sure what he's supposed to do with a ball blasted at the back of his feet as he's running off the shoulder of the last man except trip over the fucking thing. 

[Viking Saint]

All of that pressure coming from Elyounoussi giving the ball away.

That's what you call consistent 

[niceandfriendly]

Elyounoussi really is becoming a parody at this point. Utterly atrocious.

He was hassling and pressing, making space then he got the ball 🤦‍♂️🤣

[Warriorsaint]

Nathan fucking Jones!!!!!!!

Thats the tweet!

[Saint_clark]

Our home form over the last 5 years must be the worst in the country?

[Chez]

They are terrible and most Leicester fans will confirm that, but they are still miles better than us. If we somehow manage to hold on, this will be a great result.

thought goal machine Adam Armstrong would be the replacement. Ely's record of helping us mroe defensively when we're in the lead, might have just got him the nod.

Eh?

[HKsaint]

Ely is a game changer 

[Osvaldorama]

I normally hate booing our own players, but seriously I am pro-booing Ely. 
 

If we make his position untenable, so he can never be picked again, it will only benefit the club. It’s unbelievable he’s on the pitch again. Unbelievable. 

[Mr X]

Why oh why does elyonoussi continue to get in this team? 

[Jimbo]

Great support from the crowd - OWTSGMI 

[BotleySaint]

Be better off with Mccarthy in midfield than Ely.

Yeah this was discussed on another thread a couple of months ago, we don’t think any team in the country has had fewer wins in the last five years than us

[OttawaSaint]

Alcaraz...you bastard!

Giving me hope only to subject us to the football equivalent of a shart in a job interview...

Edited 4 March, 2023 by OttawaSaint

[Mikey88]

Adam Armstrong and Mara incoming... Let’s hope we don’t need a second

[Turkish]

Here comes Adam Armstrong 👊💪🏼

Hopefully not in the context I think you may be alluding to, HK my old pal.

If we lose today it's 6 in a row at home. The worst run in our history!

[niceandfriendly]

Why does this lady on Sky repeatedly call him Bella Kocher? Does she not have the team sheet right in front of her?

A win against Chelsea and a possible one here just gives hope. If we hadn’t had that clackwanger we would have been well clear of this mess.

wrong reply. I meant If we hadn’t had Nathan Fucking Jones.

[Saint NL]

There is no out ball at the moment. It just comes straight back...

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Ely got into good space to pick up a pass and he'd hav espace. We choose to give it away, inviting an attack.

He doesn’t even help defensively though I just don’t get him, I don’t hate him as much as some on here though.

[Saint_clark]

JWP with a terrible pass. Moi gets crucified if he plays that.

Get him back further forward ffs. 

[Guest]

I suppose Adams is coming back from injury. 
Don’t agree with Walcott being subbed off, been one of our better players, weirdly, this season.

 

[obelisk]

Walcott coming off? Can only think he's run out of puff. Played well.

[Mixedkebab]

Not fucking keen on those 2 subs 

[OttawaSaint]

Can only feel this is going one way. We're been shite since Alc went off.

[Saint_clark]

Walcott our best player today, not sure about taking him off.

she has a womb, stop being a bigot

[Holmes_and_Watson]

One given away by JWP. That's a few unforced errors in quick succession.

Che got booked on the way off?

Attacking switches.

Shows how awful the squad is. No one decent to put on. 

[Viking Saint]

Walcott's put in a good shift today, give him his due. Armstrong is just a pointless substitution.

[Suhari]

Good performance from Theo today.

Don't agree with that, we've been passing it around well  and they haven't threatened. 

[OttawaSaint]

Just tell Moi to pass to those in blue, there's no way he could if he tried to.

[Guest]

Bednarek, I hate to say it, is being very commanding at the back.

It doesn’t stop him from being a below-par defender but at least he opens his mouth and knows when to calm things down.

[SambaMaverick]

2 shit subs who will relieve no pressure whatsoever

[Holmes_and_Watson]

theo and Che did well for us today, making the most of what we got out from the back of Leicester's possession.

[obelisk]

Break the game up. Stoppages for injuries real or not.

Still very early to be sitting off protecting a 1-0 lead. It'd be nice to get a 2nd on the break.

[Archers Road Stand]

Lucky cunt Bazunu

[SNSUN]

Bazunu sucks
