Viking Saint

Bearing mind what we've got, who would you have rotated? and how does this stack up against having a settled side?

This. Forget balance of play, you play the breaks you get. There's a cast-iron penalty for us, which if given, makes it unlikely for them to score, hence 2-1. As for Carroll, f&*k me, if ever there was a case of a referee utterly bottling it on two occasions, that was it. Disgraceful lack of competence.

Cedric can't cross a road, let alone a ball, so what's the alternative?? Stephens at RB??

**** IT

Fair call. The second one wasn't even in the same post code as the ball

FFS

straight out of the coaching manual

Guessing he's at the game???

Happy to get to HT level. We've been very much second best, but they've only had one real goalscoring opportunity. As opposed to previous managers, I have faith that Ralph will do what's needed to change the game.

This. All over the midfield, good on the ball and distributes well

jeez, huge let off there!!!

great ball from Vestergaard there

anyone got a stream??

Six points and six goals in two games. Happy days

I don't feel Gabbi has ever had a consistent enough run in the team to be allowed to settle and build confidence. It's obviously difficult to give a striker time if he isn't scoring but we know he's got goals in him

Awesome!! Feels so good to watch a proper Saints team again and not the dross we've had to put up with far too long. Hassenhuttl's appointment is looking bloody inspired - love seeing a manager who cares again. Going to enjoy a pint tonight after work. Out of the relegation zone too COYR!!!!

We finally looked like a Saints team of old. Arsenal had more talented individual players but we fought, chased and played with passion. Sort the defence out and who knows what might happen!

I think a serious man-crush is perfectly acceptable in this situation!!!!

They're knocking at the door...squeaky bum time!!

Fair play, it looked threatening when they broke there, but by the time the cross came in, 8 players had got back in the box. Change of mindset!

I don't - he has a knack of being perpetually offside

Long offside, who'd have thought it.....

100% better than before. Poor defending and the customary cock-up have given them two goals

There's the cock-up we've come to expect. not much you can do about the deflection but Romeu ****ed about with that for far too long
