Baird of the land

Personally think A Armstrong is doing a lot right today. Just a shame his confidence in front of goal is so low.

Doubly annoying. Bad Mistake by stephens coupled with jammy livramento deflection on sterling shot. Elyounessi has looked very weak defensively.

I hope i'm wrong but i think Elyounessi is a bigger problem. Don't think he's terribly suited a game where we are likely to be relying on scraps and breaking quickly.

If that's the lineup i'm more disappointed that that Redmond hasn't come in for Elyounessi than the changes up front.

Hopefully Adam Armstrong has a Adams moment against City today.

I got overly worked up about the possibility of changes last time round but very much wouldn't this time round. The difference is that last time the so called first 11 were playing well. After the atrocious displays in last 3 games you could well argue quite a few players deserve benching.

Yeah i find it bizarre. Clearly i'm blind because i thought Armstrong was actually fairly lively off the bench on Thursday. Clearly ralph saw something completely different to exclude him completely from today's disaster of a performance.

Absolutely pathetic display. Really getting sick of this team that fools you into thinking they give a damn and then shows a yellow streak a mile long.

This Saints team looks like they've never played football in their lives before

Completely clueless by Saints since i've managed to see any of the game.

Not sure if i should be happy at the lack of a working stream. The way Saints are intent on throwing away the season probably means its better i don't watch such garbage.

Atrocious from Saints. So little intensity for most of the game. Newcastle are a really poor side but they actually wanted to win while Saints wanted to pass the ball backwards slowly.

Can't understand why we haven't made changes considering how awful we are playing

abysmal from Saints.

Typical Saintsy thing to do to giftwrap Wood a goal.. Saints have had odd brief moments of looking at it, followed by spells of being very mediocre.

Guessing bigger clubs will be sniffing around free agents like Christensen/Rudiger etc. Curious what younger Chelsea players may be free agents available to be snapped up if it drags on into summer.

Man city.

Everton’s run in looks horrible. Games against wolves and Newcastle coming up seem huge.

i’d be tempted to give a.armstrong a start, given the villa result and the turnaround to the Watford game. Unleash a Geordie on the toon. also maybe Redmond for elyounessi. Really hoping Salisu is fit enough to start.

Fewlt a game too far Most annoying thing was gifting Ings a goal. Hopefully Salisu is back quickly & saints can rebound well from this set back

Felt Armstrong has been dangerous. Early chance to equalise and then a later shot blocked. Hopefully he can grab one back early.

I'd like to see redmond for Elyounessi

Very poor from saints. Lucky to only be 2 really.

Shame Salisu is out. Hope he's back soon. Curious to see if KWP comes on or he'e only there in case of emergency. Happy to see no Digne for them.

Russians like imperial stormtroopers in terms of shot accuracy.
