SNSUN Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Started well, then soaked up some pressure, then scored and looked the better team. Half time. 45 minutes for Peretz to keep a clean sheet. 45 minutes to Wembley.
AlexLaw76 Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Never thought that going direct would trouble Arsenal. brilliant so far 1
Turkish Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Bloody hell great first half. Defended well and look really dangerous going forward. Arsenal will improve, tactics been great from Tonda. Finally a manager who adapts! 3
Saint_clark Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Worrying thing for me is the only option to take Manning off would be going three at the back 🤦🏼♂️
Suhari Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Proper cup tie. Interesting seeing an EPL defence so uncomfortable with direct balls. Ross is doing well. Would be fun to see Larin up top... he'd scare the fuck out of the CBs!
Baird of the land Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Shame there’s no Welington on the bench to replace booked manning. 5
washsaint Posted April 4 Posted April 4 I fuckin' love this new Saints. SO proud of that first half display - absolutely brilliant and, but for some poor touches, we could have been 2 up. Tonda - we have to keep him. What he has done with this squad is remarkable and I have real confidence if Saints go up his season we would actually do well in the Prem (as in, not in a relegation battle). Long way to go but what a brilliant first half and every player played their heart out. No matter hwat happens in the 2nd half at last we have a team we can be proud of again. 6

Although the goal came from Leo not staying high and drifting back to steal the ball, then Bree getting forward. The players look really well drilled and know exactly why they're doing. 2

Saint NL Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Seeing Theo Walcott with grey hair certainly makes me feel old
Miltonaggro Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Walcott face like a smacked arse and according to the fat Man City dipshit Arsenal are having a horrific off night. To me, we are just working flat out and using the tools we have. 4
Saint Scott Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Solid first half, shame scienza blew his chance as a 2-0 cushion would of been great. A long way to go, but feels much more reassuring with Peretz in goal
SaintNate Posted April 4 Posted April 4 It's getting to the point where we need to enjoy Tonda while he's here. Brilliant half. Keep it up Saints!
Hoggins Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Russ would have a heart attack watching this direct, intensity, commitment, bravery - love it 9

Colinjb Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Nice to be proud of the team. We are so much better then the side we had two years ago. Lets see if we really have grown in how we cope in the second half. The Saints of old would just fade from this position. 1
Holmes_and_Watson Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Tonda tactical triumph! Lovely finish by Stewart. But shout to Leo, who held it back, until there were enough bodies to launch that attack. Leo caused them problems, with 2 shots I thought he should have attempted. But, credit to his all round game, which has been excellent. By getting it long, we're combining our comfort at the back, with having some height in Stewart and Azaz up top. It also givescus some breathing space, when we need it. It could be a long second half. But can't have asked for much more than that in the first 45. COY...Y! 3
SNSUN Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Arsenal about to bring on their next Academy prospect... Ok that's enough ChatGPT for today.
sockeye Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Lovely atmosphere at the ground today! I don’t get the opportunity to visit St. Marys often so days like today are a treat! Great goal although Arsenal haven’t been at the races at all. Hope we can get a second and finish the job!

Obstacle1 Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Stewarts been great, great hold up play aside from the goal. Martinelli is the poundshop Scienza 3
PerthshireSaint Posted April 4 Posted April 4 After last season, I’m just so proud of them tonight. Whatever happens. 4

adrian lord Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Diddums poor prem players cannot cope with the south coast weather now. I thought I had heard it all.

6ft8saint Posted April 4 Posted April 4 I think arsenal's white is gonna cry soon. I see same old arsenal always cheating. Watching Saints in cyprus is a good thing too. COYS!!!!
pingpong Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Giving them lots of space on the right where they have the over rated youngster - I'm more worried about martinelli on the left - given a clear set of heels a couple of times. One good thing is that when bragg cramps up we've got Charles on the bench to come on and show some of his class without losing too much. Just need wood and peretz to stay clean - a couple of shaky moments first half. 2
Polaroid Saint Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Stick Romeu on for Manning. I don't care it's not his position or his pace as gone. Let's see how 'fearless' that Dowman lad really is. 😉 6

SNSUN Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Manning is definitely the worry second half. No real replacement unless we put Quarshie out there. No injuries please! A nice one nil win and no injuries. Lovely.
