Saints V Villa Match Thread!!


SOTONS EAST SIDE

Recommended Posts

Lose this and Adkins will be shown the door I suspect.

hoped he would deliver in this league but had my doubts deep down from when he was appointed that he could be here long term,still possible to turn it around though.here's hoping.

he is without doubt the one of the best managers outside the Premier League.

i don't think he will be given time to acclimatise,that doesn't mean he shouldn't be given the time.....but time will eventually run out for him.

 

Please turn it around second half.

Looks increasingly as though we got promoted a season too soon.

Still, I know it is not a popular opinion, but I half think the management suspected we would get relegated with the bonus of the Premier compensation.

we have to be strong as a club, but it is not going to be pleasant if we stay rooted to the foot of the table !

On the positive side, we play some nice football at times passing it around. But after that goal all confidence seems to have gone and we struggle to keep the ball. Lallana had a decent start and Ramirez has shown some of his skills. Schneiderlin and Yoshida also having a decent game. Puncheon and Clyne having a poor game and Lambert seems of the pace.

For the second half I would think of bringing Rodriguez on for Lambert and maybe Guly for Puncheon.

 

COYR we can do this, lets get our first points of the season!

If I was an impartial viewer, I'd think Villa were a non-league team. However, with EPL, one defensive lapse (no guesses as to who) and we're 0-1 down. Saints passing has been superb and they've dominated but haven't created anything clear cut. Wouldn't want to compromise that playing style for the ****e Villa "play" though.

Where does Fox go? His positional sense is really appalling. On the plus side we have been the better team, and Fonte is starting to acclimatise to PL level.

 

It's just final ball that lets us down time and time again.

 

He was there for the goal, for some reason he just decided to let Bent shoot.

I know Adkins loves stats and KPI's so thought i would post a review of that half according to 4-4-2 stats zone app on the iphone we have had the following:

 

58.5% possession

Territory 54.5%

175 out of 247 passes completed villa have managed 113

In the attacking 3rd we have completed 56/91 passes, villa 22/51

However for some reason we have done more defensive tackles than villa 12 v 8.

So in my rubbish supposition we are passing well but the final ball is usually **** as villa aren't having to tackle or block which seems to explain Puncheons influence on the game.
