[Le Tissier's Laces]

No he tripped him. Definite pen

Yeah for sure, but I don't think he meant to clip him.

 

[tomw24]

Thought it was a very very soft pen.

It was stonewall.

 

[AshbySaint]

just don't look like scoring

 

[saintsfcfan]

It was stonewall.

Just my opinion.

 

[sotonsaint]

We're playing well, just 2 mistakes to many unfortunately.

 

[fatletiss]

That's some great play from Saints.

 

[VVD]

Just a bit more luck fgs

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

As 2-0 downs go, this is actually really encouraging. Clasie other than the boob has had a really good game, and I have no issue with Pierre at the base of the diamond.

I don't know, we look vulnerable at times and have been lucky.

 

[tomw24]

Played well but no end product and conceded a ridiculous penalty.

 

[fatletiss]

Am I the only one who thinks Clasie was a bit unlucky. He clipped him. Yes a pen, but hardly crime of the century.

No you're not. It was a pen, but he didn't reach out to tackle him, it was like his leg almost stuttered forward.

Still. He must be shot at dawn though.

just need to learn to finish chances.

 

[SaintsFan86]

Our fullbacks have been **** again..

Yep. Like I say need to be a bit braver. Redmond can run Fellaini.

I have no issue with Pete playing anywhere. He looks some player.

Targett isn't good enough.

 

[saintkitch]

Yeah for sure, but I don't think he meant to clip him.

It just looked a bit lazy to me. I think he switched off and that was it. It wasn't an innocent clash of legs though it was just a lazy half hearted attempt.

 

[fatletiss]

I don't know, we look vulnerable at times and have been lucky.

For about a ten minute period only. That happens at Old Trafford (apart from LVG days)

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Re Clasie penalty - I've seen Jose do WAY more stupid things and get away with them, so a little perspective.

 

[Lovelocum]

Our fullbacks have been **** again..

Yup. Cedric is a European champion though!

 

[saintsfcfan]

Wait so Hojbjerg gets at telling off for booting the ball away, yet United give away a freekick, clearly obstruct a chance for saints to breakaway with it and get absolutely nothing....
