[Saint Matty 76]

Stewart goal could be a massive moment for us here, let’s hope we at least get him a chance

[Ed Rooney]

BBD is fuckin awful

As if by magic... On he comes!

Stewart coming on.

AArma off.

Isn't it obvious? It's been less than two weeks since his last appearance.

Oh, here he is now.

Stewart on for AA, finally

And now get the ball up the pitch to him. Stop farting about at the back now!

[imadirtyurchin]

Brereton-Diaz has touched the ball about 5 times and given the ball away 4 times. (6 and 5 if you count dibling’s shot)

I don't see Suga leaving to be honest. Although there may be a couple Prem teams interested.

[SNSUN]

Loch Ness Drogba on for AA. Man will score.

Because that's where he has played his WHOLE career. What do you think he should do? 

Expand  

No it really isn't, and this weird rewriting of history for Diaz is odd of late. 

 

He's played mainly as a striker with left wing in a 2 or 3 as a back up. 

 

He started up front with Archer at Sheffield Utd and is listed as a striker on transfer market.  He started up front in a 2, or left wing in a 3 foot Blackburn. He's not played there his WHOLE career.

 

I'm not sure why there's this belief that he's an out and out winger 

As the OP said, it's odd that a man of his stature doesn't play as the leading 9 because he's physically got those attributes Vs that of a winger

[Viking Saint]

Reverted to 'full pissing about at the back' mode for some reason

[SNSUN]

BBD straight at their keeper.

[obelisk]

BBD races through the centre and has a shot. Where's he been all game?

At least it was a positive run from him. Good to see. 

[Ken Tone]

Well I hope Stewart can take penalties. 

[SNSUN]

Everton want to finish this in normal time. Come on Saints

[obelisk]

Everton have pushed up on our tippy tappy defence.

[OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint]

BBD gives Carillo a good run for his money.

We're playing for penalties. We know how good we are at them!

Stuck out on the wing where he's completely ineffective.

[BotleySaint]

We can't seem to get out of our half.

Is he allowed to take all 5...? 😁

[Holmes_and_Watson]

A shot from centre by BBD. He had a lot of travelling to do before he coul shoot. But the more he can move in, from further up the better. He did have one like that first half from the left channel, rather than the wing.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Decent passing move. Nice pick out by Aribo.

Struggling to get out v a crap Everton team, pens is our best chance. Offering nothing up top. 

[Saint NL]

Games kind of died out, just waiting for penalties now aren't we?

More likely to have an OnlyFans than have ever set foot in a convent

[obelisk]

How is that not a penalty?

[SNSUN]

Lovely from Dibling, ghosted through them.

[obelisk]

Just needed a composed finish from Tyler.

I never said he was a winger, I said he's an inside forward. He is not a Centre Forward.

A Centre Forward is a type of striker, the same as an Inside Forward is a type of striker. But one is very different to the other in terms of role and position and an Inside forward involves pulling wide and running into channels. He's never been a proper centre forward.

Bree's been doing a lot of good covering and support work.

Good from Dibling.

And went for the selfish shot instead of picking out colleagues in space.

Yay penalties incoming...

[6ft8saint]

Is Diaz a winger or a halfwayer 

[hypochondriac]

I know we know this but Dibling is just brilliant. I really want him and Lallana on the pitch together in a league game

[Viking Saint]

[Holmes_and_Watson]

2 from Fernandes that have gone astray. Lots of pluses from him though.

[Saint_clark]

Have to say Aribo has had a solid game.

Don't blame him given how profligate many of his colleagues are in the shooting department...
