Leicester 3-4 Saints - Match Thread

[benjii]

That's  a great finish. Maybe he should have started 

[St. Ciervo]

Imagine a world where Stewart started...

[Saint86]

Well played Scienza and stewart.

Why did we play 45min with 10men?

[Wade Garrett]

Comeback is on.

[trousers]

And there you go... We'd still be in it if Eckert had the balls to change things at 2-0 when it was blindingly obvious we needed to ..

[Mr X]

Tonda isn't to blame for everything (maybe 😉) but starting Archer lost us the game 

[Chez]

Looks like it was a decent half time talk.

[Hatch]

Really skilful finish that was 

[Convict Colony]

Pick a proper striker and we score what a shock

[stknowle]

Cracking finish. Why didn’t we start him FFS? 

[Junkyard Dog]

S

[obelisk]

If Saints were 3-1 up and conceding this possession like this with 30 mins to go I'd be worried,

[Saint NL]

Shame Fellows was so poor and came off, this is setup for him 

[BarberSaint]

So really, Leicester only got a 3 point deduction and a game against us.

[influx]

Fuck me

Oh, play a proper striker and score, who knew

Nice. On the plus side, that's probably the last we'll see of Archer this season unless Ross and Cyle get injured at the same time. And even then we'd probably be better off sticking Manning up front.

[RedArmy]

Show the fucking game. Useless camera work. 

[trousers]

Stephens lol

[obelisk]

Another Saints shambles at the back. Nearly 4-1.

Gonna need your stats

[Saint NL]

Wtf was that? Double missed header

[Saint86]

Well done Peretz there. Made himself big and didn't over commit - good hand to it.

Stephens and THB though 🤣

You seriously think someone with his injury record can start 2 games in 4 days?

[Viking Saint]

Good build up, shit finish from Azaz. Get him.off and Larin on

[stknowle]

Exemplary centre back defending from the lads there 👍🤪

After recent performances, he should have been benched anyway and then maybe we could have brought him off the bench to cross it to the big men. 

[goodymatt]

Nearly 4-1 what was that defending?

Agree fellows is suited to how this game is now, shame he isn’t on the pitch but his first half performance was poor.

we could have got a second goal if Welington picked the right pass

What has happened to the commentary on FawaNew? It was Adam and Jo now listening to Leicester commentators speaking as if they are winning the champions league, that LC are so good.

I'm actually finding that listening to whoever this pissed-sounding Irishman is, is preferable to Tessem screeching gibberish

Leicester bringing on some school kids to see out the game

[trousers]

We've gone back to passing to.the opposition again. Marvelous.

Not according to the BBC website...

[Saint NL]

Nice to see Bree has forgotten how to pass after a few weeks of Tondas training

[Saint NL]

Matsuki doesn't want to cross, just goes backwards

Lack of confidence I think. Always looks off the pace to me.

If he can start the 2nd half he can start the first half can’t he? Could’ve been taken off at half time for Larin. The main point being stick with the big man up top formula which has worked and don’t play a system with a midget up top that does not. 👍

Not seen much of him before tonight, but Matsuki looks to be too slow to play out wide. 

[Mr X]

Will tonda have learnt never to put Archer on the pitch again?

Ankersen has got one of his junior stooges to hack the site and scoreboard to motivate Tonka!

Leicester are shitting the bed, I don't think we are good enough to take advantage

Why did he need to learn?

[SNSUN]

Looks like Thomas Frank might be getting the bullet tomorrow. Get him on the bus. 😜

[Saint Fan CaM]

Oh fuck - Manning on. Game over.

[stfrancisofbenali]

Any side can put in a shocking first half and go in 3-0 down. Good sides respond and come out fighting. It’s the total predictability that we wouldn’t show any character, spirit or intent in the second half that is so depressing. Any side with those characteristics beats us. 

[trousers]

🤦🏻

[Saint NL]

Manning 😂

Oh god 

[Chez]

we've got to the byline a few times after good build up play but the crosses have been easily cut out.

Liable to start the weekend knowing that genius.
