IronCitySaint Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 Should be 4 or 5 goals up through 135 minutes and all over. Going to be a nerve wracking second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 3/4 of the way there. Come on Saints. A bit more composure in front of goal and we can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5string Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 Half time 0-0. We should be 3-0 up on aggregate. Liverpool restricted to just a couple of long shots (and some slightly scrappy defending from us). My choice of 2nd half subs: Long for JRod (who looks less than his best, though some good touches) Err, that'll do for now. Save the rest for later.

alpine_saint Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 Well, half way there. Must admit I expected us to be out of it by now. The team that scores the next goal is the one going through... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forever a red and white Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 Jay Rod looks like he has a knock. Tadic is jumping out of every 50/50. Otherwise playing really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 Mark Lawrenson gets a lot of criticism on here but on the BBC text commentary he says "I lost count of the defenders Nathan Redmond has beaten. Brilliant. He slows them down and then takes them on. They are the better team, every time they come forward they create something.Liverpool are getting a footballing lesson here." But Redmond's championship level , our forum experts told us Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamplemousse Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 J Rod not been at his best. Redmond is causing them all sorts of problems. Defence solid but I wish they'd clear the ball quicker.

verlaine1979 Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 Stephens very impressive. Redmond and Romeu also having excellent games. JWP looking significantly better than Davis, who has been caught in possession multiple times already. Tadic has done okay, save spurning a brilliant chance.

NewYorkSaint Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 Some sensational play by Saints. Redmond! He's suddenly looking as thrilling as Lallana or Mane at their best. Stephens a fantastic performance too. We so deserve to go through. What scares me is that if we find ourselves still 0-0 at 70 mins we may start to turn more defensive. In that scenario, I see Liverpool pulling out a goal in last 10 mins, and then another in extra time. We have to continue to press. There's a goal there for us. And when it goes in... it's game over. What a fantastic night so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 Just another (hopefully) 45 to get through weirdly I'm not sure I'm actually enjoying this to much at stake. Still the lads are doing us proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stknowle Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 We are doing superbly. Stephens, Romeu, Redmond all outstanding. But FFS our finishing is fecking INFURIATINGLY bad. It's incredible really that we can be so consistently poor at the most important thing in football. We can still do this, but you just feel we are going to pay for all these opportunities p!ssed away. C'mon Saints!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyell Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 It's got heartbreak written all over it - the better team, missing our chances again; we won't keep Liverpool out all game. Really good performance from the lads, though. Doing themselves proud. Redmond playing the best he ever has in a Saints shirt. Tadic is so half assed in everything he does - such a frustrating player. Right, back to the second half. I'll be behind the sofa if anyone needs me...

GarrettIvo Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 Tadic's shot was on target, and but for Karius coming right off his line to block it with his arse it would likely have gone in.
