Saints 1-1 Norwich // Post-Match Reaction

Recommended Posts

Thought Schnierderlin and Cork were poor tonight, you have to have one of them push on to offer a runner going forward. Ricky needs to start getting a few of those snap shots on target, he would have scored that last year. Like to see Ramirez be a little more direct as well, run at the back 4 sometimes and get them back peddling.

 

Thought Bassong was excellent, wish we would have gone for him

 

We should of got him with Dawson and or Davies, we got Yoshida.

I love it when people say things like 8 points out of 12 or 4 games unbeaten, what about 12 points out of a possible 42 .

 

As it clearly shows we are improving, and getting the defence together. But as I said a long long way to go, but a huge improvement.

 

1-1

1-3

2-0

Played 17, 18 points by Christmas...... And probably out the bottom 3.

 

I would have settled for this on the 5th November.

Not great tonight. Team looked tired. Shocking goal to concede. I don't think we won a second ball all game. Ref rubbish too. We don't seem to get the rub from any of them this season.

Thought Morgan was poor tonight. Puncheon a little bit better. Rickie was moaning a lot at Gazza for hs kicks, but was not great either.

Either Shaw or Clyne for mom.

This guy is the sort of man telling UKIP they could gain power or some fat guy like the one on the front of that fat boy slim album he can lose weight, half a story and numbers to suit yourself.

This really, before the swansea game there was a thread talking about possible points totals coming out of it. I am more than happy after the start we had that we have done so well, it shows signs we are moving in the right direction.

How can we keep Gazza in goal for Anfield,he makes so many errors,keeper tells the players how many in a wall,keeper sets up the wall, he messed up on both and to top it of he lets in a daisycutter under his body!!!

The defence do not seem that keen on him either,did you see when Fonte had the chance to pass it back but instead tried to take it into the corner??? why didnt he pass it back? crap defending or no confidence in the keeper????

Keep Gazza in goal for Anfield I think, it will be a great experience for him, in a game I expect very little. Can he handle playing in a stadium heaped in tradition and in front of the Kop. If he makes some good saves it could make him!

 

I take your point but fear Liverpool will target him. Any more mistakes could do serious harm to his career

Special boy. Obviously your opinion doesn't suit yourself either.

That wall was a shocker, should of been at least 5 in there for that.

Why only pick the games we have won in and got poiints from recently? Biased to say the least.

 

Had it been picking and choosing from across the entire season you would have a point, however this is 4 games unbeaten now in a row. The trend is unquestionably upward.

Tough game, we seem to struggle against teams that press us. It wasn't clicking for gaston and we didn't have the rub of the green today.

 

Nc, for god's sake, on the 1st of Jan you need to drop a significant number of millions on a decent keeper.

 

He's called Jack Butland

 

Also need to drop millions on a CB who is more Bassong than Yoshida/Hooveld/disaster waiting to happen

Yes of course we could lose them all, probably a lot more likely than winning them all. But if, if we can beat Reading and Sunderland it has an added bonus of dragging them right in.... Saying that Liverpool are not to far off, and terrible at home.

 

You cannot argue with what has happened so far since November 5th, and me for one is loving it :-)

Yes I am always happy me, I awake every morn and sing a Disney song and a prayer for Nige's bed tan and Cortese's team selections and signings.................

 

I can tell, bet there is a bluebird on your shoulder every day.

 

I have a theory infact this is just Alps attempting to see if its his posting style or just the man who gets the most stick..... But that would be too obvious.

Well that is kind of obvious compared to our previous games, thanks for a great uplifting experience.........................................

I dread to think how you felt during our previous time in the top flight, games like this happened all the time!

But we had right little battlers, not hairdressers from Basset and Chandlers Ford, how many scrappers are in that side? How many fighters in the back four? Who in midfield will get a yellow or red to silence a midfield bully?

 

Ah I see......

 

How do you feel about modern coaching methods?

It is like an alien has landed on earth, this is football, there are stats all over the place. We are having a nice little run, and I think with the start to the season we have had, we should really look for the positives in the run. Not a ad turn around really.

Not a bad result, deserved on the pattern of play. I knew this game would be totally different to the Newcastle and QPR games, for a start Norwich close down - they get in your faces, and they press high up the pitch.

 

In the last 2 games we've had the luxury of playing 2 teams who didn't do that, and we were allowed to dominate the midfield and pickup the ball in gaps of space. When the opposition press like Norwich did tonight, we do seem a little lacking in idea's at times.

 

I think at 1-0 we were in control, but the goal just changed the game. Another avoidable goal really, not from any defensive mistake (we had a decent shape to us again) - just a horrible GK mistake, really, really amateurish. He's young, he's learning, but he's got to be flaming better than that. I don't care how old he is, his job is to do his best to keep the ball out of the net. That was embarrassing.

 

So after that point Norwich just closed it out really, they threatened a bit more and we had a few panicky moments, but I sense they were happy with a draw to be honest - especially in the closing stages. A few cogs in our side were a little jaded, Morgan looked tired, Gaston was the same, Lallana was playing in fits and starts - the last 2 games have probably taken a lot out of them, so I see it as a positive that we're still on a decent unbeaten run. Frustrating, yes, but not the end of the world at all.

 

So November has been a really good month, exactly the sort of month we needed to have. Similar next month please...as January is a stinker.

The doom and gloom merchants are having a field day. It must have been hell for them after we won a couple of games.

 

To be fair, there is only a couple, and I cannot even say they are the obvious posters..... We have a new or maybe new big bed wetter. Talking about bed wetting I better get off, I have an early start.

Oi what's wrong with Bassett? I grew up there..... Oh ok maybe Swaythling..... In the Flower estate!

You get my drift, we have a soft team with no spine or hard men.

 

Yes we are missing a jimmy case, or a terry hurlock agreed 100%, but we are also missing a keeper, an cover all over the pitch. I fear injuries, an then we will be screwed, as the cover players are not up to it.

Tettey broke up most of our play and reduced us to aiming direct to Lambert by the end. Hoolahan was good and they pretty much bossed the midfield in the second half. It was a fairly scrappy game and neither keeper was tested much.

 

Sammy the Saint doing Gangnam Style at half time was plain ridiculous.

Bloke on BBC Live text said he was doing Gingham dancing. I really had no idea what he meant. I don't have much idea what Gangnam is either, but I at least am glad that Sammy the Saint is not wearing gingham.

Disappointed in the reaction of some people. It was only a few weeks ago that we couldn't get any points and we're leaking goals. We have really tightened things up and extended our unbeaten run against a decent Norwich side with an excellent manager. We have really improved and I think that's a good thing.

Absolutely, in terms of shape and effectiveness we're a different team now. We look well at home in this league and very competitive in every game we play.

 

Confident that we can actually go to Anfield and get something.

KD back please. Enough of this tiresome error filled keeping. Adkins also to blame for subs, or lack off. 85min for first unforced change. **** me but the world could seeour players ere tired. that said its nice to be disappointed just to draw for a change. although it is a luxury we can't afford to often.
