codge added 17:05 - Feb 19 Well done Saints another complete team effort again, Stuart Armsrong superb again but as a team all played there part. Saints making watching so much fun again and the team effort is really impressive COYS. Mattsgrandad added 17:06 - Feb 19 KWP a revelation, and loving it. Great team performance. Not a poor game for anyone. Well done Ralph and the boys 1885_SFC added 17:10 - Feb 19 Mr Micropenis I_would won't be happy... but for the rest of us, a terrific result and a very good team performance. FF had nothing to do! You get the feeling there's a terrific team spirit between Ralph & the team, and long may that continue. KWP just shaded MOTM for me. He never stopped running and caused Everton problems all afternoon. Special mention for Romeu too who was so solid all game. Well played Saints. I do love a Saturday when Saints win! Sadoldgit added 17:23 - Feb 19 Another solid team performance and a comfortable 3 points. Cracking goal from Stuey to break the deadlock but we missed chances to put the game to bed earlier. Broja chose to shoot a couple of times when simple passes would have probably provided goals for others. The substitution paid off immediately and great to see Long put his header away superbly. KWP my man of the match with a wonderful all round performance at left back with Oriel an excellent 2nd place with a masterful performance in midfield. We are on an excellent run of form at the moment, long may it continue. Boris1977 added 17:29 - Feb 19 Shane Long - what a great example to the young lads. Hasn't been a regular for a few seasons now but has kept fit and match ready - long been one of my favourite players for his selflessness and workrate and so happy that he scored the goal to put this game to bed. Well done Ralph, well done the team - our faith and patience has been tested over the last few seasons but we're now looking like a proper 'team' again. COYRs silverspringsaint added 18:51 - Feb 19 Get in there! Other than for a sloppy opening 10 mins, it was all good for Saints. What a difference it makes to have Stu Armstrong healthy and starting. Everyone put in a shift today, though Forster had nothing to do! Stand outs were Romeu (a beast in center midfield) and KWP. If one had to be critical, Broja and Adams were off at times in their decision making and the link up play was lacking. Ideally then we should have scored more, but we did not need that today as Everton were dross! WestSussexSaint added 19:26 - Feb 19 Great team performance again once the first 10 mins of each half were out of the way. It was almost as if Saints had trouble adapting to the fact that Everton forced them to attack the Chapel end in the first half. Saints won this through a dominant midfield display. Romeu was immense both in breaking up Everton attacks and starting our own. That enabled Armstrong the freedom to operate behind the front two to great effect.

KriSaint added 22:33 - Feb 19 A good, well-deserved win, which should have been bigger than 2-0. Everyone played well. Again. I agree with Dean Hammond that it was probably Bednareks best game in a Saints shirt, because he read the game so well, placed himself so brilliantly and won so many duels / intercepted so many balls. Stuey shows again how important he is and I'm delighted for Shane Long getting a(nother) personal record , scoring with his first touch and joining a quite small group of players who have done so in the PL. And what a header. Congrat's with another fine result to everyone involved with/supporting Saints. ElijahK added 23:47 - Feb 19 Don’t get why the ref ratings are soo low, he was actually really decent today and wasn’t the usual sort of one that blows for anything, and realises that footballs a contact sport You need to log in to participate in Your Report | Your Report
