Saint_Randell Posted 18 December, 2011 Share Posted 18 December, 2011 Who did BBC give it to? No-one really deserved it tbh, I would go for Lambert, constant threat for the whole game. Lallana would probably be up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 18 December, 2011 Share Posted 18 December, 2011 Joel Ward got the MOTM I believe, quite simply just because he equalized. My MOTM is Lambo, followed by Deano who showed a real desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 18 December, 2011 Share Posted 18 December, 2011 I think the fact that there doesn't seem to be a stand out winner shows that we played well as a team today, quite easily our best away display in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambosa75 Posted 18 December, 2011 Share Posted 18 December, 2011 Lallana? You have to be joking to give him a mention. Some nice little dribbles but time and time again he slowed down our attacks and didn't pass it quickly enough. It's no good dribbling the ball past someone if you are going to let them get back in to position afterwards. He kept doing it all game. I'd go for Cork or Hooiveld.

Channon's Sideburns Posted 18 December, 2011 Share Posted 18 December, 2011 Can't disagree with any above really. I know Guly's getting stick for the corner, but if Fox was still on would he have been marking that post instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly like Fabrice Fernandes use to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreemantleSaint Posted 18 December, 2011 Share Posted 18 December, 2011 Lambert did the business again, Lallana was pretty dangerous, all the other midfielders did well too, but I thought Hooiveld was a rock today so he gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobM Posted 18 December, 2011 Share Posted 18 December, 2011 He is, I totally agree and rate him as much as the next Saints fan but today was not his best day. He slowed our attacks down time and again. You see it as slowing down our attacks, I see it as bringing others into the game. Lallana was always a trick and a few yards ahead of the opposition which give him time and space to bring others into it. Once or twice he should have had a shot, the rest of the time he was spot-on in controlling play. MOM goes to Jos today, IMO. Such a composed game and linked up well with midfield. Not spectacular, but vitally important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 18 December, 2011 Share Posted 18 December, 2011 Hooiveld won everything that came his way. Fonte had a few moments and didn't quite look so good. Hammond, Richardson and Lambert also looked particularly good IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 18 December, 2011 Share Posted 18 December, 2011 Hooiveld gets my nod today, I thought he was very solid and even the commentators sounded impressed. Honourable mention to Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 18 December, 2011 Share Posted 18 December, 2011 I thought Cork, Hooiveld, Lallana and Lambert were all excellent and could have been man of the match. Definitely no pompey player, given how saints controlled the second half. MOTM for a late header seems a bit mental. Aren't these things all to do with club sponsors though? As such a home player always wins it because none of the Pompey fans will care about the ACME Man of the Match award for a Saints player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 18 December, 2011 Share Posted 18 December, 2011 I don't get the criticism of Lallana, he was a real spark in our attack today. The problem with him at the mo is that it's not quite happening in the final third, he's not making the right calls as he was at the start and he's lost the confidence to have a pop at goal for some reason, but he's still a joy to watch on the ball.

forever a red and white Posted 18 December, 2011 Share Posted 18 December, 2011 Not suprised Lallana has split opinion. At times he showed real glimpses of his quality, great ability to beat his man, great vision but one again his end product let him down. Having said that, he is slowly returning to the form he showed at the start of the season. He is our David Silva, when he plays well the team plays well and the opposite when he is les involved. MOTM? Would have to say Jos or Rickie. Thought Jos won almost everyhting, gave Kitson some proper hard challenges and displayed a real dominance and passion for the cause, was fantastic to see. Lambert was again outstanding I thought, great hold-up play and just wish we got the ball into the box more for him from out wide because he was always a threat and nobody could really deal with him. Another goal against the Skates I love this man. Richardson also had a very good game. Hammond very decent second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 18 December, 2011 Share Posted 18 December, 2011 Lallana for me, gave their full-back a torrid time all game. Richardson was a close second and the midfield 3, Jos and Lambert all deserve a mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 19 December, 2011 Share Posted 19 December, 2011 We get a different commentator to you lot with the Beeb, but the same pictures (and krap crowd mikes) Our 'tater gave it to Hammond, and would have to agree with him. Agree with both sides of the Lallana argument, he held the ball up well and brought players in, but he did also on occassions appear to make the wrong choice when he could have moved the ball on quicker. That said, his run down the left in the 1st half brought a few cheers from the massive down the pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
