Saint_clark Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 Great half. Get KWP on for AMN at half time. Alcaraz on for Stu around 60 as he will tire and is on a booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 To be fair, with subs throwing in a bit of shithousery and getting a yellow when you know you’re going to be subbed, Stu did exactly the right thing. You wouldn’t get Ely putting himself on the line for the cause like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BotleySaint Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 Best half of football we've played in a long time. Chelsea have been poor. They will surely improve in the second half.

LaptopSaint Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 Whatever the final score is, I reckon that's the best half of football we've had in the league for many months. JWP a legend obviously. Love tall Paul. And more of the best bits of a so-far-shit season watching Lavia turn away from and glide past Premier League midfielders like they're not there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took Onuachu out. Not sure who, but clearly a yellow and ABK and the rest told the ref as such before JWP too the free kick. but he is fucking useless. How was that differnet from the ABK yellow. We deserve the lead. Have been the better side. Chelsea have been really poor and right from the off our crisp passing and good control has meant we have kept the ball much better. Both ABK and Bednarek have passed it out firmly and players receiving it have responded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydney_saint Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 Really good half, impressed by that! Chelsea look utterly clueless, but also helped by the pressure we are putting on them. JWP tremendous, not just for the goal but his all round game was fantastic. Getting back and helping the defence, linking the midfield to the forwards, a few interceptions as well.

notnowcato Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 Very intelligent half of football. Niggly, no flow to the game and we’re looking to be positive at the right time, not the headless stuff we’ve witnessed the last 3 months. And it’s just wrong to feel so confident in JWP to produce, left of centre 25 yards out. He’s a freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 Thought Onuachu had a great half. He looked like Peter Crouch. With great feet, holding it up well and linking the play. He did though look absolutely knackered just before half time. Selles needs to keep a very close eye on him, as we were too slow to take him off last week when he got tired - and it hurt us badly. Hopefully he can recover a bit in the break and we can get a bit more out of him 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkSaint Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 Ah... this is the excitement and joy I remember. Onuachu has had an incredible half. His ability to receive long clearances, control and retain possession has been fantastic. I was worried the first game he played that he was less good in the air than his height suggested. Today those doubts are gone. Not only is he exploiting is height, his footwork can be stunning... and he's FAST. Alcaraz for Ely. It would be incredible if we won this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
