Tessem just said he should have done better as it fell perfectly for him 😂

Perfectly for who, Mr McGregg?

Any half decent top flight striker maybe, but even a lot of top quality strikers have struggled with chances like that. 

Lambert wouldn't have got his foot anywhere near it.

On seeing the replay that's harder to score than it looks

One advantage of playing three at the back is that we have three tall defenders to aim at for corners + Charles. So 30% more attacking threat at set pieces.

After 33 minutes we've had 10 shots to their 2. Xg of 1.19. I'd say the tactics are working. Just need someone to finish accurately.

Yeah I agree. I get the frustation and people saying to take off a CB, but maybe the reason Swansea have created nothing and we've created lots of chances (and then wasted them) is exactly because of the shape of the team. 

[Saint NL]

I'm enjoying Scienzas efforts so far

[Hoggins]

Nice to have a player in Scienza who can actually beat his man

We should be playing through him on every possession 

[Saint_clark]

Swansea players going down so softly and getting the freekick everytime.

[Sheaf Saint]

That's not a foul FFS.

[Saint NL]

Weird refereeing decision

[Willo of Whiteley]

We need to take off a defender and out on an attacking player.

We could score three or four comfortably with an additional attacking player.

[benjii]

Watching the match with these clowns on commentary is so frustrating. 

[Colinjb]

Scienza and Jander are excellent.

[stknowle]

FFS this is frustrating

[Saint_clark]

That should be a penalty for a foul on Armstrong there. 

[benjii]

Scienza with an erotic nutmeg.

[Saint NL]

Lovely from Scienza again, just needed Armstrong to tap it in

[Lighthouse]

That’s Leo getting subbed off at HT confirmed.

[Suhari]

Scienza looking lively.

AA should score.

[Saint Fan CaM]

We’re all over them! Just no luck in front of goal.

[Mr X]

How many chances do we need???? Jesus 

[The Kraken]

Omg, class from Scienza.

[Sheaf Saint]

Scienza is rapidly becoming the most exciting player we've had for a long time.

[Saint NL]

Shit on target alert 

Getting better

[James]

OK Scienza is class.

[Willo of Whiteley]

Scienza and Jander are excellent. 

Fully expect them to be subbed off in the second half. 👀

[santolijador]

Jander playing well too, Scienza an obvious highlight

[obelisk]

Saints have had more than enough chances to be easily leading this game. That they come to nothing is really the story of this season.

Yeah I'd like to see that again. 

[James]

Arma should score again.

[Saint NL]

Fuck, we can't score 😂

[Suhari]

Fuck me!

Another sitter missed.

[sockeye]

Scienza is class

[AlexLaw76]

This is hiliarous

sceinza is a baller

[Saint Fan CaM]

Scienza is different class!

[SambaMaverick]

Scienza turning the swag on

[obelisk]

ArmA next one to miss.

Most exciting we've had for a long time.

[Saint_clark]

"Armstrong how has he missed that" these commentators are unreal! How is he supposed to contort his body in time to get any kind of meaningful touch on that!!!

[Wsaint]

Scienzas gunna be fucking fuming 😂

[Saint NL]

If we had a striker we'd be a good team tbf

Just a slight correction there.

[The Kraken]

Armstrong, how has not got anything on that?

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

What a breath of fresh air Scienza is. Doubt he'll be here long 😥

[Sheaf Saint]

I suppose some people are going to slate Arma for not scoring that rebound as well, yeah?

[sockeye]

Scienza has had them on toast this half

He is

[Lighthouse]

The keeper deflected that a bit but AA probably should have bundled it in.

[Harry_SFC]

Anyone else get infuriated with how many times Armstrong softly places the ball straight at the keeper?

Lol. No chance to finish that.
