With 1 minute to go and 2 goals ahead, is it to much to ask for Saints to take the corner and look for a fourth goal rather than try to waste the final minute?
Can someone please remind the coach and players that we pay to watch this? |  | | |  |

.....and if we had put it in the box and Blues broke away and scored, you'd be moaning that it was stupid to do that in injury time. The way we defended in that silly 10 mins, it could have happened !!
Just be thankful that we saw the game out for a nice 3-1 win - you'd have taken before the game - and you got to see Edozie get kicked up in the air from your bemoaned corner routine !! :-) |  |

Having bad memories of Sunderland away, I have no problems with pragmatism here. |  |

That is like complaining that you haven’t got pink rock salt with your quail’s eggs. |  |

Grow up. |  |

It was the questions we had wrong. |

I suppose the point being made here, is that we were 3 1 up with only one minute left. There was no way we were going concede two in a minute, so why not try to improve our goal difference tally, take a slight risk and get the fourth, but I didn't have any problems with what we did. We won the game so it didn't matter to me that we kept it in the corner flag. | |

That very thing has happened to us more times than i can count over the years so i dont have a problem with it , especially as we had also in the past , conceeded late late goals . Losing points 3.1 up at arsenal last season , 2 nil up home to Middlesbrough, 2 nil up home to Everton , 2 nil up home to villa 3 nill up v leeds in years gone by, plus many more
Its actually good that we are the team actually scoring late goals. Ill take the time wasting , and the luck the ref saw nothing in the stonewall penalty+red card . Again that has happened against us too, so im happy to take the beginning of the bad decision balance back |  |

H'mmm.
I'm not convinced that we wouldn't concede 2 goals in the last minute, we are capable of that.
When we concede one we are prone to conceding a second soon after.
BUT, albeit I would have liked to see us take the corner & possibly get a 4th goal it just wasn't worth the risk.
It's all about managing the game out & not taking risks.
That's what the top teams do. | | | |

Agreed that not taking risks is sensible but so is playing a corner to a player outside the box and keeping hold of it for a while, rather than wind everybody up with holding it in the corner.
Not a good look. | | | |

If we were ONE goal up I would agree with you.
But even we can't let in 2 goals in under a minute.
I stand by what I said. | | | |
