saintsmike25 Posted 25 April, 2017 Share Posted 25 April, 2017 I think we're unlucky to go in behind, but Stephens and Yoshi are very vulnerable against bigger teams, one of the reasons VVD is such a huge miss. Chelsea are still edgy and there's goals in this for us, I'd like to see Tadic off for Redmond, we need to induce challenges from Kante, and he's likely to do something rash. Our set pieces have been excellent, we just need to stop overplaying at times and remember we have nothing to lose and test the keeper a bit more. I'd hate to see negativity as we've matched Chelsea who are chasing a title, while we have nothing to play for. Even if we lose, if we gave this sort of effort I can't be angry or negative because Chelsea have so much quality that they can play badly and still hurt teams like in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday.

Heisenberg Posted 25 April, 2017 Share Posted 25 April, 2017 Decent 1st half showing, at least we've been swinging a few punches tonight. Boufal looks lively and I can see glimpses of the Saints of old. Can still get something here tonight. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 25 April, 2017 Share Posted 25 April, 2017 Not a free kick because the ref blew before the ball was in play. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Not true, watch it back. Besides Costa did the same thing again straight after, how many times before you just give the freekick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobes8 Posted 25 April, 2017 Share Posted 25 April, 2017 Jesus.... pretty good performance undone yet again by our two centre halves in no mans land. Let's just hope les reed doesn't think this is the central defensive partnership for next season. Costa is a diving ****.. should have been booked for that. Need to start mixing it up a bit as costa always on the edge of being sent off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st alex Posted 25 April, 2017 Share Posted 25 April, 2017 Why were chelsea allowed to have two more goes after Costa was fouling Bertrand there??? I can't understand that, blatant foul on Bertrand shouldn't mean they get a second chance at the corner, it should be a freekick to us. If the ball went out of play then it should be a goal kick to us. Headlocked and pulled to the ground is a pretty clearcut foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 25 April, 2017 Share Posted 25 April, 2017 We're just not powerful enough at the back in the air. It was JWP outjumped by Alanso not anyone from the back.

Ashby Saint Posted 25 April, 2017 Share Posted 25 April, 2017 Not wanting to defend our central defenders, but we are not closing down the players out wide as quickly as we could.

Kingsland Codger Posted 25 April, 2017 Share Posted 25 April, 2017 When we have possession we look slick, smart and very, very good ... but compare our defending high crosses deep in our penalty area to David Luis and Cahill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 25 April, 2017 Share Posted 25 April, 2017 It was JWP out-jumped by Alonso which led to Cahill's goal. At least he competed for it unlike the saints players who wandered away from their men, acting as if their job of marking was over because the initial header from the corner had been won.
