Doctoroncall Posted 17 November, 2012 Share Posted 17 November, 2012 how so? Probably something to do with the record goals against you keep banging on about for Saints this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 17 November, 2012 Share Posted 17 November, 2012 Not relegated well, need to back this win up....after villa, we just got worse and worse.. the next two home games are huge...newcastle are in a wobble but will always be massively dangerous attacking our defence and loony keeper...and norwich have just beaten Man U. we really have to get at least 3 points from these two games...

Colinjb Posted 17 November, 2012 Share Posted 17 November, 2012 well, need to back this win up....after villa, we just got worse and worse.. After Villa, our defensive shape was screwed by the injury to Richardson and following it up away to Everton was always going to be very difficult. Then Ramirez was injured. Shaw hadn't emerged at that point either. If we are going to put together a run, now is the time. It's not a foregone conclusion but we have a chance to draw ourselves back into the pack now, we must take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingwing Posted 17 November, 2012 Share Posted 17 November, 2012 Great away fans, special mention to the fans to the right of me in the really restricted view bit, sung a lot and seemed to be having a good laugh despite they couldn't see much! Plus Adkins got it spot on today, looks good without injury problems more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamesaint Posted 17 November, 2012 Share Posted 17 November, 2012 I hpope that you will admit today Delldays that Adkins got everything right. Team, tactics, substitutions. You have been so eager to criticise Adkins this season how about giving him some praise for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to win both of these, but will take 4 points. I think we will beat Newcastle and draw with Norwich. I think Norwich could be out first clean sheet.

Carlos Fandango Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 Full credit to Adkins today for it spot on. Just goes to show what he can do when left to it. that's a coincidence then that when "left to it" he plays the formation that was supposed to have been forced upon him. Really, if you're blaming NC and Reed for our poor start you have to credit them for our recent improvement. You can't have it both ways. Adkins finally has the right players in the right positions of the best formation, its as simple as that, no conspiracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 So the question is why was he left to do it yesterday. well I think Turks means is no Guly at all,Punch not being subbed early, not much JRod, Shaw starting instead of Fox and the 2 CMs the other way round which wasn't possible with Davis cos we tried it in the first half at Arsenal and it was a catastrophy.

Which is (also of course) NOTHING to do with the fact that Shaw & Cork have returned from their respective "early season injuries" and have made an impact. (Which also of course means that eg Guly is lower down the pecking order when a substitution is needed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr27 Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 Gazza - seemed to be instructed to cut out the short stuff as he kicked long almost every time. Always feel a sense of heart in mouth though, and what he was doing with Hoilett's goal.... Clyne - hardly put a foot wrong, and always an option going forward as the extra man. Fonte - Didn't realise notice him to be honest, a good sign that he did things right. Yoshida - A few nervy moments in defence, but like Gazza seemed to have been instructed to get it out rather than try the fancy stuff. Excellent scissor kick! Shaw - does not seem to offer options forward as often as Fox, but seemed much more calming in defence. Schneiderlin - a couple of times put the defence under pressure with mistakes, but always tracked back and his eye for a pass/opportunity always on. Cork - Seems to bring the best out of Schneiderlin and has to be first choice when fit. Puncheon - BEST game I'd seen him play for Saints. Could have had 4 goals, and with a bit more luck and a slighty better right foot he would have done. Ramirez - Solid and his calmness under pressure is amazing. Seems to have all the time in the world. Got a knock so ran out of steam when in on the break 1-on-1, allowing the defender to nip in. Subbed shortly afterwards. Lallana - Sometimes holds onto it too long, but at times he and Ramirez's interchanges were unplayable. Lambert - led the line brilliantly and put his head in when it hurts. Drifted to the left second half diverting attention from others breaking into the box. Davis (Ramirez) - playing in advance of the midfield two and was breaking into the box at every opportunity. Complete contrast to the WBA game when every pass he made went back. Fox - Came on as Shaw tired, and was hardly troubled as Saints remained on the front foot. JayRod - only on a couple of mins for Lambert, but kept the ball in the corner well at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
