Tremendous stuff all round, and a deserved victory too in the end. Got a bit lucky with the penalty in fairness, but that was actually a tactical masterpiece in the end. A BIG word for Yan Valery playing CB in a two, and had an excellent game. My only worry is that Ralph will go and play his 'cup team' in the quarter finals now too!
Great result. We looked accomplished despite a few brain farts in the first twenty. Centre backs looked solid. Unfortunately A Armstrong does not look like e he has it this level. Good pen by JWP hit with so much pace. Maybe, all us fans need to cut Ralph even more slack, we are through and the big players are fresh for Villa. Things have not felt this good since Van dick, Pelle, Tadic and Mane. We look really really good
Oh this is magnificent. Apparently the half time music was - Love Cats Cool For Cats And a song by the Pussycat Dolls. Top work, Saints. Top, top work!
We look hard to beat, and exciting to watch. I'm liking that a lot. We also pressed non stop for 97 minutes and ran the Cat Botherers ragged - fitness levels are amazing
In my defence once I had calmed down a bit I did say if we kept it tight and Ralph was pro-active with his subs it might work. Well, Ralph used his bench to perfection tonight.
Dawson has fouled Broja for a pen, two games in a row. And he assisted Broja's goal tonight with a neat cushioned header.
We are really really really enjoyable to watch at the minute. So many worldies being scored as well. That hit from Perraud was pure sex. COYR
I was **** scared about Valery up against Antonio and Bowen but he was superb, like he was against Spurs. Perraud looks like a proper steal as well.
To be fair to Adam Armstrong Che Adams didn't look up to this level either in his first season with us.
I’ve recently had a discussion about being ‘entitled’ with a Citeh mate. I’m beginning to worry that by the end of the season, it might be spreading to a ‘little’ team. Good job 55 years of Saints has made me immune.
