Without VAR there’s a pretty good chance that goal gets disallowed completely by a lino who thought it looked off at first glance, so overall I’d say it’s a net positive.

Saint NL Posted 4 March, 2023 Share Posted 4 March, 2023 I'd love saints to win big here, but we need to make sure Rogers doesn't get the sack 😂 The first half of that was poor, but once we got going we looked good.

SNSUN Posted 4 March, 2023 Share Posted 4 March, 2023 We've looked dangerous down the right, OK through the middle, not so much down the left. Sulemana trying hard but nothing coming off for him so far. Lavia been decent at breaking play up too. He's going to the top. 1 nil up... it's the hope that kills you. Might have an insurance bet here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkSaint Posted 4 March, 2023 Share Posted 4 March, 2023 So much to be encouraged by that half. I've been huge Alcaraz fan since he joined, and I'm delighted to see this second goal. Hopefully that knee will loosen up over the break. Don't blame JWP for the penalty. There's element of luck in every penalty. His overall record is awesome. He smacked it w massive power. Arguably he should practice some more to keeper's left. I think large majority go right. But even so he usually makes them. Also relieved to see Lavia unimpacted by the verbal drama yesterday. He's been awesome. I truly believe that all Saints need is a couple of results to go our way, and we'll get our confidence back and easily survive. We def have the players to do it. I'll be heartbroken if we throw this one away.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonbenali Posted 4 March, 2023 Share Posted 4 March, 2023 Leicester's high line is suicidal - we've been in behind at least 3 times and have decent pace up front. Old school Saints defending! We don't look nearly as dangerous when they defend deeper. Hopefully they'll continue with it as they're behind and we can exploit it. I'll take that scoreline after the first half hour!

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 4 March, 2023 Share Posted 4 March, 2023 I think that was one of the Ralphball 2.0 set ups. Stay tight, absorb pressure and take advantage of the space an attacking team leaves. Selles would have been part of setting that up. Today's line-up tombola added a couple of wrinkles to it. Sulemana offers soem actually width, in what can be a narrow formation (can still work when KWP gets forward, if he cuts in) and Alcaraz on the otehr flank. But that became fluid as Walcott worked that whole area, allowing Alcara to operate in the centre when needed. So, a bit of fluidity in there. AMN is what is probably his best spot, offering a bit of physicality too when needed. But we do have to watch opponents try their hand at getting through us. And Leciester were starting to get close, after getting lots of possession. The crowd really boosted things when we did finally get to use some space. Boosted even more after the penalty miss. And that seemed galvanise the players. Can only hope Alcaraz hasn't crocked himself doing that celebration. He's not been shy at going for goal, and that's something we really need in the weeks to come. Che doing lots of little things well, when given the chance. Walcott, so long frozen out, has made a bit of a difference today. Offers a lot of options with the others, and smart enough to know which spaces to pick up, to support the others. While Sky talk about Alcaraz nearly getting a red, I'll take a deep breath so that I don;t let too much hope in for the second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
