Charlie Wayman Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Absolutely this. Puel rapidly becoming the effing man. Brilliant. Totally agree, there must be huge belief in the manager amongst the players, every man played their hearts out for the team tonight. Clasie was excellent and that goal will surely do wonders for him and Bertie just keeps getting better. Utterly bewildering play from us at times.

5string Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Fantastic result and a brilliant game by us (bearing in mind I only saw the 2nd half - reports suggest I missed the better half). Yoshi gets my MoM because he finally showed how good he can be. Could've been any of McQueen, Bertrand, Davis as well. Forster was solid VVD reliable as usual Coco did ok in attack, but he's a bit lost in defence, isn't he? Long was unlucky - just lost the scoring touch for now, but confident he'll get it back Clasie was quietly good. Got a goal (I haven't seen it yet, as I only watched 2nd half) Subs Sims & Hojbjerg were excellent - full of energy and trickery. Can't wait for Tadic, Hesketh, Pied to be fit again.

St Marco Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Really great performance. Thought they never looked like scoring at all. We put them under pressure every chance we got. Davis or Bertrand would be my motm. Not sure who I would like in the next round. A Liverpool Saints final with us destroying them would be the dream!

Saint_Tony Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Liverpool wouldn't be the worst draw. Utd look to be the only team really going for it. Hats off to Puel the tinkerman. Great result Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austsaint Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 GTFI. Excellent performance. Everyone played well tonight but Boufal, replacement Sims and Yoshida were stand outs. Vvd just his usual outstanding self. Long needs a feckin goal to get some confidence going but tonight his profligacy did not hurt us. Agree with this, but you must include Davis among the best on the ground. All action running all night and brilliant incisive passing to players in dangerous positions, plus the lovely back heel to Sims was a touch of class. Davis' game tonight what someone like JWP has to aspire to. Special mention too for Reed - that tackle which led to his injury was skill and courage in equal measure. Haven't the Club got a good one on their hands with Sims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eurosaint Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Credit to Puel for such a clever team selection, he is brave, innovative and a great believer in giving youth a chance !

Saint Fan CaM Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 The evidence of an all-round fantastic performance? 0-2 away at Arsenal without all our 1st 11 and a clean sheet. Sensational performances from young Sims, Reed and McQueen given their experience compared to a side that cost much more to assemble. Claude was spot on with his tactics and subs. Hull next please - at home. Guess the press will blame poor Arsenal rather than credit our lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
