Kingsbridge Saint Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Passing has been terrible. Too ponderous and then straight to a Villa player. Lambert has been shocking, Schneiderlin as well. where was Gazzaniga when Bent strolled up to the ball and rolled it in in the 6 yard box. What the **** was Puncheon doing. Clyne has been terrible, Lallana can't hit a cows arse with a banjo. It's just been a terrible terrible first half. we have to do better or Adkins is finished.
brightspark Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 We've been a bit blunt, our passing is awful and our defending is rash. Villa are nullifying our attack considerably. Lallana was onside, as they say luck doesn't go your way when you're at the bottom. That is the hardest call to make as an Assistant Referee judging the crossover to the point where the ball is kicked but at that level it's a little disappointing if they get it wrong. Fox has been crap, Lambert is having another stinker too - not the best decision maker on the field.
JoeShmoe Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 If we play like this at home we will be lucky to get the 11 points Derby did. Was the same against Wigan Fear for Adkins if we lose this, players look utterly devoid of confidence
MAY-Z Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 That would not stop us giving the ball away in our own third.... Puncheon and golden bollix Clyne pishing about... I thought Fonte and Yoshida looked good generally I think the fact that puncheon keeps cutting in or running at clyne when clyne comes forward is contributing to this - punch needs to be attacking the byline to spread the defenders and create more pass options
Saint Martini Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 We played decent, Villa created almost nothing and a stupid give-away just outside our box cost us. The final ball is lacking, otherwise we're playing quite well. Just a bit more tempo second half and no ****ing about in our own half.
Ohio Saint Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Doesn't sound too bad, all depends how they get on second half. Infinitely better than Arsenal obviously, just feel they desperately need an early lead in one of these home games they're expected to win. We can moan about the defence all day, but as with Wigan, the attack needs to help out by taking chances. Like
hypochondriac Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Clyne, Lallana, Puncheon, fox have all been terribly poor. I'm not sure what we can do to change things.
Suhari Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Think we need JWP on. He offers more energy and incisive passes than Davies.
Thedelldays Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 These will be one of the worst teams to come to sms all season This is pathetic I would have expected last season team to get at least a draw if we had them in the cup Lose this game like this I won't mind adkins going
Stepgar Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Just seen the goal. Yoshida clearly thinks that someone else should have had it. Weather the keeper or fox. That's up for debate.
Ohio Saint Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 On a more positive note....Um, I think I got my stream sorted.
Webby Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Just seen the goal. Yoshida clearly thinks that someone else should have had it. Weather the keeper or fox. That's up for debate. Well, Fox just watched as Bent strolled past him.
adrian lord Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 I think backtoback promotions are a poisoned chalice, in that it has bred a certain casual complacency, both in the team and the club as a whole.
suewhistle Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 I don't think Clyne's a bad player but we (as a team) have got to cut out the silly mistakes which invite pressure... It's not as if Villa aren't hoofing out when they need to. Although Fox was a bit static it was what led up to that that counted, plus I don't think Ireland knew where his kick into the ground was going either. Wish Puncheon would occasionally drive outside, or at least not turn back all the time. Interesting sub - Frazer for Fox...
Ohio Saint Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Better already than the entire first half! LOL
max_saints Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 kelvin would have let that bent shot in
Thedelldays Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Even the taters are pointing out players we are leaving free at corners We are so poor
Edmonton Saint Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 All the villa chances from our throw in, which Clyne inexplicably threw straight to them...
hypochondriac Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Commentators slating our zonal marking. Has this been a big problem for us this season?
hypochondriac Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 I would bring Mayuka on for Puncheon. Interesting that he hasn't played much.
dubai_phil Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 We need Guly back Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
hypochondriac Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 We need Guly back Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2 No thanks. If we didn't sign Mayuka to play right then that is another area we really should have strengthened in the window.
Ohio Saint Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Yoshida certanly lets his feelings known.
Suhari Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Class, class goal. Fantastic work by AL. Not on a plate by any means - terrific strikers goal from SRL. WIFM.
DG Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Maybe they're all hiding behind the sofa. Time for a lucky bout of doing the dishes! In the middle of doing them and we equalise. The footballing God has been appeased.
Window Cleaner Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 yessssssssssssssssssssss! 2-1 Jesus there's a lag on Saints Player, I was about to call you a knob.
Gingeletiss Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Le Tiss's celebration on SS, get in my son.
Suhari Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Guys - that is a great goal. If you haven't seen it, don't miss MOTD. Class. Good movement, possession, AL quality, cheeky assist Gaston. Nice run from Clyne. Good goal.
hypochondriac Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Whoops. Just woke up my baby cousin
Smirking_Saint Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 Even the taters are pointing out players we are leaving free at corners We are so poor Not been listening but would imagine it has something to do with zonal marking, a system within which unless the players you are using are v v disciplined and v good in the air is so easily exploited.
Thedelldays Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 This is oh so much better than the first half........ So much better
Frank's cousin Posted 22 September, 2012 Posted 22 September, 2012 ramierez passing is in a different class - get in there
