Who’d care about winning a cup when the best team in it was someone like West Ham or Brighton. We’re well rid of extra time, especially for midweek games. Who wants a game like that dragging on until 2230, followed by a traffic jam and a four hour drive? Yeah you're right. I remember how crap it was winning at Wembley in the JPT. Such an awful, boring day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted Tuesday at 21:05 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:05 Basking in the warmth of a win. Everton, no doubt driven by their fans, pushed up into prime RussBall territory more and more. It was good to see some passes ping around. Bree and Les often there to pick up passes, with Downes hard work freeing Aribo up a bit later on too. Both Cornet and Dibling given freedom to be direct. BBD had to do a fair bit of work to get into similar positions. AA didn't get much, but not for lack of effort or trying different things. We need a focal point for him to thrive off of, and a bit of space to pass through. Neither there for quite a bit of the game. Shout out for Lallana first half who steadied us and got us moving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted Tuesday at 21:07 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:07 (edited) Clesrly we were the better, more composed team although Everton arguably had more clear cut chances. We are just lacking the final ball often, but some promising signs: Cornet looked direct and powerful in his first proper game for ages and Fernandes and Dibling again showed their quality. Best player on the pitch was Lallana by a mile though - so classy, just a shame he isnt a few years younger! Wonder if he might get a start vs Ipswich although doesn't have the legs to cover the ground Fernandes does? Really need Archer to come good...

Convict Colony Posted Tuesday at 21:08 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:08 Main takeaway i had from that game is i can confirm BBD is a "bustler", he is bustling everywhere, looking busy, making runs but no real quality output at present. Thought Stewart looked the most relaxed about the pens, very confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintant Posted Tuesday at 21:12 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:12 15 minutes ago, obelisk said: Quite a controlled game from Saints but hardly ever looked dangerous despite all the possession. Need to find some way of creating decent chances. This type of football is not conducive to creating many chances. It's more reliant on flashes of individual brilliance from say Dibling, a set piece or a defensive error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper we have a great keeper, a reasonable defence, a decent midfield but a really poor forward line (Dibling being the exception). Personally I would give BBD a go up top.

There’s always an element of luck to any cup draw, we got to Cardiff largely thanks to being drawn at home to lower league clubs in every round (apart from Spurs but they were the worst of the lot). There’s a whole world of difference between that and the best teams just never being in it from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver Saint Posted Tuesday at 21:20 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:20 Only caught the second half. Looked like even though we controlled possession we couldn't really be bothered either way if we went through or not. Slow pace back passes in our third at the end (there must be a stat that shows where our possession is - my bet is 70% in our own defensive third of the pitch). Two sides clearly lacking in confidence and goals. We looked better than Everton. Happy with the win. Penalties were great. Six goalscorers will give each of them confidence. McCarthy big save to keep it 1-1 and then winning save. Well done Saints. Home draw please - I don't mind who the opposition is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted Tuesday at 21:26 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:26 Still think there’s a decent side in our squad but it’s frustrating to watch Russ take so long to figure out who should and shouldn’t be in it, and that it’s not a cardinal sin to go long and wide when we’re penned in. Jack’s a great guy but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we looked tighter and more assured without him back there. Dropping THB and keeping him in was ridiculous. It was nice to have some attacking width and pace with Cornet and Fraser, but BBD needs to either be more central or on the bench. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
