Leeds 1-1 Saints - Match Thread

[hackedoff]

Don't worry,the gung-ho way Leeds play means they are easy to score against..........for most teams.

[Mr X]

It's going to need some turn around and half time talk if we are going to get anything from this, Leeds in a totally different gear to us this 45, very lucky it's only 1!

Because he has zero confidence in his ability with his left.

Such a good chance wasted.

 

He also has limited ability with his right.

These Salisu throws just hand back possession to the other team. They're pointless and I can't believe we've persisted with them for so long. 

They are hilariously bad aren’t they!

Just post any old negative derogatory crap, actually having eyes on the game isn’t a requirement here.  

[skintsaint]

HT - woke up the last 15mins once they scored.

[Saint_clark]

That's a definite penalty. Ridiculous decision.

[OttawaSaint]

We've been penalized for handball for almost identical situations countless times. All VAR has done is let twats like Dean cheat even more.

Hand ball in the box. 

Guess the outcom... 😆 

it's a pen. He doesn't control it with his body and his hand goes to the ball a bit.

[Shance]

All those idiots begging for Forster to be our number 1. Well he's shite. We need a new keeper in the summer. Forster and McCarthy are both done.

Impossible. He’s amazing. Completely faultless, every game. EVERY SINGLE GAME, EVER.

Why don't you fuck off to some forum utopia where everything is unilaterally praised regardless of how things are going if you hate it here so much.

Hmmm. He didn't move his arm towards the ball, but he had plenty of time to move it out of the way and didn't.

Who is begging for him to be our number 1 long term? He’s the best we have currently and top keepers don’t come cheap any more. 

[OttawaSaint]

So many wrist slitters on here. Am I watching the same game?

"Leeds have got away with one there. For me, he moved his arm to the ball."

I have never seen a single person say that. Do you think he's better than McCarthy?

We've just given Mccarthy a new contract. 

[warsash saint]

Most annoying thing from that first half

Leeds contant fouling?

Anthony Taylor?

The female co-commentator - just STFU!!

Get Perraud on for Livramento at half time for fuck sake.

So much better when he’s in the side, better balance. Shoehorning TL into the side just because he makes endless, lung busting unproductive runs into the oppo half is so annoying (but is masturbated over by so many)

[davefizzy14]

Once again getting nothing out of the referee. Anthony Taylor is an awful ref never get anything from him. How was that not a foul on Broja before their goal! How did we not get a penalty either. Joke. Hopefully Ralph brings Stuart on at half time and changes the formation slightly and we can get back into this. COYR

First time listened to her, not impressed - saying that the guy is a tool as well. 

[AlexLaw76]

If we play like that 2nd half, we have got to score. Lots of nearly positions, and their keeper has a howler in him.

 

I get Armstrong on sharpish, and probably Perraud 

[Sheaf Saint]

Probably would have ben given to City or Liverpool, but Dean is never, ever going to give that to us.

[Dr Who?]

45 to go. Let’s grab an early goal in the second half. COYB.

McCarthy can do the basics at least. This absolute clown f()cks up in almost every game, but gets away with a lot of his clownery.

[Micky]

Lots of the football again but absolutely no cutting edge up front.  Our striking options are woeful, wouldn't worry too many teams.

He really cant. They're both shite

Yeah I don't get the negativity either. It hasn't been awful by any stretch of the imagination. It's disappointing that for all Leeds' early pressure they never created any clear cut chances - ours have been better - and they only scored because of a lucky drop of the ball from Forster's flap.

Get Stu on for the seconf half and I reckon we can rescue this

The basics of a goalkeepers job is shotstopping and passing, both of which Forster is better at. The ONLY place McCarthy is better is at claiming crosses when under no pressure.

That's fine. He's a fine number 2 to have. Forster needs moving on and we need a new number 1. 

[badgerx16]

We are very much a streaky team ; 8 or 9 games unbeaten, 5 or 6 defeats on the trot. Either way, it's consistency of a sort.

[The Cat]

We've been good since Fraser Flapster gifted them a goal. Adams should have scored, could have had a penalty.

I'd really like to see Armstrong on for Diallo.

McC is the poster boy of in game fuck ups!

We need better than both if we want top half football.

McCarthy is utter shite. If by some miracle he actually makes a save, nine times out of ten it’s parried back into the path of an opposition player.

not really. both make a few two many errors. McCarthy makes some tremendous saves requiring agility, while Forster some tremendous saves through great positioning and physical attributes. Neither are as bad as people make out, but you'd hope there might a better option out there.

Forster is a decent shot stopper when it's within a couple of feet from him. Have a shot at either corner and he will still be falling to the floor when the kick off is taken.

I don't normally bother moaning abut refs, but thought the Broja incident was a clear foul, he outpaced the defender and was dragged down. The pen was VAR not Taylor.

[Saint Fan CaM]

With JWP forever passing backwards and Diallo looking like he’s at a picnic kickabout we desperately need Stu Armstrong on to liven up midfield. Too many wrong decisions by Che, otherwise we’d be ahead. Broja is not really getting into the game enough but that’s more about the lack of service.  Would prefer to see Perraud and KWP at full back to unlock a shaky defence.

If you could combine the two, you'd probably have a half decent keeper

So it would still be 0-0 today if McCarthy was in goal.

Forster's passing may be better than McCarthy's but it's still poor. Neither should be regular starters in the league.

[skintsaint]

get AA and Long on for goals goals goals.

Forster has 100% cost us more goals than McCarthy ever has, and caused mayhem in many other games just because of his inability to actually do his profession.

I’m not saying McCarthy is good, but he’s a damn more reliable than Forster who for some reason, has some weird mercurial hold over some people as some sort of goalkeeping god… that would be bizarre even if he was just about competent, let alone being utterly cr4p.

Who is going to be the first to be all wistful and nostalgic and remember the times when had 1 or 2 good games under Koeman…

Well no, because McCarty would probably not have saved James' shot earlier on.

ah..a tacky wedding proposal just to make things worse at halftime.

The excitement in their voices when Leeds are on the attack is in complete contrast from when we attack.
