Obviously hasn't grasped the concept of "team of the week" if he's leaving him out for stuff he did in other weeks

Such a shame it wasn’t on BT so we could hear Peter Waltons expert analysis to defend the onfield decision

These threads are always fascinating

We just need to get to 40 points as soon as possible or we are definitely going down

Some people think Ralph never does anything wrong, even when he admitted he was wrong himself.

Good point without the Internet some people wouldn’t be able to bore everyone with their self righteous piety

He has a great habit of being in the right place at the right time. I remember people waxing lyrical about performances by by some centre backs over the years where they’ve stopped goals by desperate last ditch blocks or tackles. that was a very different type of defensive display where the ball was like a magnet to him every time it got in the danger zone, calm and composed rather than diving in desperately which shows he’s a great reader of the game. Still a bit raw with an error in him like the sending off against spurs but quite a player we have here

And there is the problem, expectations. People expect to have Cars, sky TV, computers, iPads etc these days. 40 years ago these things were luxuries, now people expect them. It’s easy to blame the government but the reality is that many people live well beyond their means, stacked with debt, but still let’s absolve people of their own responsibility and blame the everything on the government we don’t like

Yep and despite us being lucky to only concede 5 some on here were celebrating the fact their manager said for 20 minutes we were the best team to play them that season. It was good to see some of our players getting stuck in to them, we should be horrible to play against, loved it that Grealish was pretty ineffective the whole game and ended up waiting in the tunnel for Romeu, what he was going to do is beyond me but means Romeu got right in his head, great to see.

Good comparison. I was thinking he was the Albanian Tomaz Pekhart, similar sort of hype around him. I’m not really sure why they keep saying he’s quick, he got outrun and outmuscled by the deceptively slow and weak Dias yesterday. so what he outpaced Potus Jansen for his lucky goal against Brentford, I’m quicker than that useless danish prick there is a reason why Leeds flogged him. He’ll probably go on to have a decent career in the Eastern European leagues which Is probably about his ceiling.

Your second comment completely agrees with my point though, despite appearing to disagree with it in your first Tuchel probably won’t be at Chelsea in 2-3 years so why bother risking his reputation on a youngster who won’t hit his peak until he’s long gone when he can spend £90m on a proven player now

Thought he was poor. Caught offside twice when all he had to do was look across the line, missed two great chances, second was easier to score, city defenders won’t have an easier game this season, miles away from being a player good enough to start for a team like Chelsea with title ambitions. Won’t get anywhere near their side. They should cash in while they can

it seems Liam is a fan 👍

He has but he turned them down, twice

Well there wasn’t much else to talk about. Saints had what two half chances and City only had a couple themselves, they were right to highlight the crap defending as it cost us the 3 points. Although I’m delighted with a draw

Bloody awful defending for their goal though. As is now being highlighted on sky

It made them sound like a noisy home crowd, really loud and yeah you could hear them singing you’re support is f**king shit. I never remember them being particularly loud.

Fantastic to be unbeaten against city this season. Fabulous effort and two bonus points

His only contribution has been giving the ball away and getting a yellow card 🤦‍♂️

Anyone else wish Ralph hadn’t mentioned 35% possession, how many times have they mentioned it?

What’s that five minutes and 30 different views of two incident to reach the same decision, what a farce

Microphone right by the city fans making them sound ridiculously loud, seen city live loads of times and they fans never make that sort of noise

Great first half, Salisu immense but sadly a city goal feels inevitable. Redmond off for Elyanoussi 🧐

Bit like cherry picking data to make covid look more serious, yes? #6000deathsaday

With this thread it proves saintsweb is leading the charge eliminate sexism and as head of equality on this forum glad to see your support
