Saint Without a Halo

Chance missed Bu fonte 4 yards out at least it was on target but too soft

Another corner

If this was rugby we be murdering them three chances between the posts blazed over and one missing a post Four good chances non on target Closest to target was villas long shot

Three chances now missed none on target yet

Bet they only need one chance to score though

Well Liverpool 6 out of seven taken saints so far zero out of two easier chances than any of the pools

But we have yet to sort out our home tactics indeed we are better away this year

We have a fair number on loan and are thus playing boys up but we have always been this way it seems the supply chain lower down is either not that good or needs longer to coach

True but a number of the goals let in recently looked saveable and this statistic just emphasises what can be seen

I learnt that 1) despite having a so called good squad we are still dependant on all our 1st eleven being fit we just cant do without any one of Bertrand, Mane, Fonte, Wanyama, s Davis and Van Dijk after that Tadic and Pelle are also key 2) of our signings this year only Van Dijk seems up to it Clasie and Soares have to improve and are still to come good, Romeau, Jauanmi, Martina and Caulker are just not up to it and we should get rid. 3) Yoshida lost his place at CB where he is reliable to Caulker because of mistakes he made when played out of position at right back he should have played yesterday 4) Wanyama is not a Centre Back and Bertrand is not a midfielder so our plan B was highly defective 5) We will be lucky to keep Wanyama, Mane and Koeman as we appear to have peaked. 6) Our substitutions rarely work Long and JWP did nothing 7) Our supply chain of good young players seems to have dried up We should have signed a good back up right back that is good enough to play 9) Stek has good distribution and looks good behind a sound defence and holding midfielders but when exposed seems to let everything in very poor saves to shots on target Ratio. 10) We should have have gone for better quality and more cost in replacing Clyne and Morgan 11) We have no plan B and look to have lost fitness and the closing down ethic Poch instilled

They had 7 shots on target he made a save towards the end!

Yet

This is so frustrating to watch after 6 years of progress we have certainly peaked

So is Caulker better than Yoshida? We play Yoshida out of position but when a CB position is available we play Caulker who is so slow why?

So we don't need yoshida for three at the back

What is it about this time of year we always collapse letting in 3 at home before HT

The bloody officials are atrocious today

I thought Cortese was meant to have spent other people's money not saved it?

Yoshida is a poor right back but lets be fair to him it is not his chosen position. Koeman seems to like him there for his height but he is poor against pacey wingers and his close control seems to let him down but at least he is prepared to fill in, in a position that is not his favourite or best. The Mystery is why did we buy Martina?

A win by us today would have seen us really consolidate into the top 7 however we rarely seem to be able to take advantage of the teams that lose around us. An good opportunity to progress lost

We didn't deserve a point despite having a crap ref who turned down one certain and two possible pens. Looking at the one given against Bournemouth at Swansea all three of ours were much better shouts.

That was just embarrassing all around just one weak shot on target all match!

Absolutely right all of the above instances are terrorist atrocities and equally evil we cannot play everyone's national anthem every week and if we only recognise some we are being unfairly selective

He did say decent L2 team! surely that therefore excludes Pimpey

http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/form-guide.html Looking at the form table 5 of our next 6 are in the top half with only Villa in the bottom half, however the good news is we are 2nd two points behind Arsenal over the last 6 on form!
