mulletsaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Our defensive organisation has been excellent today. jinx
JoeShmoe Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 If thats Man U, Chelsea etc that penno is given 99 times out of 100
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 mayuka has been utterly dreadful LOL!!!! Here we go ......
Sheaf Saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Could easily have been a pen that. Looked like a foul to me.
adrian lord Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 If thats Man U, Chelsea etc that penno is given 99 times out of 100 This. Arse got a one today that was as soft as diahorrhea
Dazza82 Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 LOL!!!! Here we go ...... Well he has so far, always 2nd half for him though
obelisk Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Very lethargic stuff from Saints. Awful ball retention and hardly any decent chances created. I predict 0-2.
Sheaf Saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 If thats Man U, Chelsea etc that penno is given 99 times out of 100 Yep, agreed.
Dalek2003 Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 All today in the next half. Hmm, can we do it ?
JoeShmoe Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Big 45 mins coming up, lose to these at home and were right back in real trouble
brightspark Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Been a good performance defensively and in midfield, just the final ball has been poor from Puncheon. Mayuka and Lambert aren't offering as much as you'd hope for
BotleySaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Mayuka has energy but needs more game time. Disappointing to be 1-0 down at half time but that's the Premiership. Punished for mistakes.
Dalek2003 Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Big 45 mins coming up, lose to these at home and were right back in real trouble Yes. We lose this one and we are back in the mire and confidence begins to seep away.
JoeShmoe Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Myuka isnt really working, either put him left or get J-Rod on, SRL needs to play up top and get on the back post against Rose
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Big 45 mins coming up, lose to these at home and were right back in real troubleLose to these at home and we are still out of the bottom 3 for xmas. FACT
Stepgar Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 LOL!!!! Here we go ...... Are you suggesting something different then?
alpine_saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 We are always lethargic and sh*t after a break and at Xmas. Really, it does ask questions about the training regime.
Mr X Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 All silly tip tap pretty stuff with no real threat on goal from us what is the point in trying to do too much with the ball! That was a penalty though clear contact
the stain Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Are you suggesting something different then? I think what he might be suggesting is that Mayuka has played 45 minutes, hasn't been that good but thats now his Saints career written off by some on here because that's how short sighted some people are. Although I might be wrong.
CanadaSaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 We really need to do a better job of spotting the moment to convert nice around-the-box build up into a shot, or over-elaboration is going to kill us. At least when we're a goal down the temptation to shoot is greater.
Dalek2003 Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 We are always lethargic and sh*t after a break and at Xmas. Really, it does ask questions about the training regime. Complacency ? Or, are we a soft touch ?
the stain Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 We are always lethargic and sh*t after a break and at Xmas. Really, it does ask questions about the training regime. Hello!
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Are you suggesting something different then?I'm suggesting that this forum is full of defeatist gutless moaning fannys who know very little about football yes.
tpbury Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 All Lambert should do is smoke a rollie at the far post and we put play through the other side. He's taking out 2/3 players just by being on the pitch!
MOSaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Problem is that Lambert is in midfield and we're asking Mayuka to try and hold the ball up or win the ball in the air, which he isn't going to do. If Mayuka is going to do anything up front the team need to try and play the ball into space so he can use his pace to get in. Put RL back up front, move Ramirez into the middle and put Mayuka out wide 2nd half please.
Dalek2003 Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 I'm suggesting that this forum is full of defeatist gutless moaning fannys who know very little about football yes. People just a bit deflated at mo, confidence is paper thin.
Dazza82 Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 I'm suggesting that this forum is full of defeatist gutless moaning fannys who know very little about football yes. Football is all about opinions from fans, so if someones opinion is different to yours then they know little about football? So onto the topic it was about do you think Mayuka has had a good game so far?
Mr Saints Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 We are always lethargic and sh*t after a break and at Xmas. Really, it does ask questions about the training regime. You never disappoint.
doggface Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Just missing that bit of quality in the final third. Next goal key. i think we will get it.
Thedelldays Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 I'm suggesting that this forum is full of defeatist gutless moaning fannys who know very little about football yes. are you saying mayuka played really well in the 1st half..? IMO, we can easily win this..just need to be better in the final 3rd...sunderland are not that good at all...
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Again, why is Lambert being played out of position ffs. Lambert up front is instrumental to how we play. Shove Mayuka on the left, Ramirez in his strongest position behind Lambert. Frustrating as we really need to win this game.
St Chalet Posted 22 December, 2012 Author Posted 22 December, 2012 Looking at today's scores it seem Wigan lost and lunch time and we've lost at half-time. We are a very different side to the gutless mob that dropped out of the Prem in 2005. We will draw minimum.
Ohio Saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Maybe Mayuka will react well to a good half time talking. Yes, I'm clutching at straws here, but he hasn't been as bad as suggested here.
Lazlo78 Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 To me, we look like an exciting and good side today - if we keep it up, we will get an equaliser. Sunderland are well organised defensively, but we have the patience to break them down. There is everything to play for in this game and I'd keep the pessimism at bay at least until the final whistle. COME ON YOU SAINTS!!!
Dalek2003 Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 A Dalek has not skeleton, simply a blob with a hard shell and some tentacle type things which probably accounts for the pessimistic outlook.
dubai_phil Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Mayuka certainly is NOT rubbish. Raw yes, but any idiot can see he has quality. What he is lacking at the moment is the "telepathic" level of understanding his role in the game. Not surprising considering his lack of game time. Still good news is he will wear their CB's out for JRod to make a difference Too many touches around the box, too many balls looking for Mayuka in the air when Rickie pulls 2 defenders out the centre. Wet pitch cannot be helping but until their goal Sunderland looked awful. Anyway chill, we've never won a PL game with Howard Webb in charge. He proved that by not giving a clear penalty. Ceullar went right through Mayuka. Nailed on in all the replays Oh and Lambert? Really? Jeez that man just seems to walk around, beat players and make wonder passes. Getting better and more intelligent every game. So nearly got through as well
ericofarabia Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 I'm suggesting that this forum is full of defeatist gutless moaning fannys who know very little about football yes. Wet or Dry?
MOSaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Maybe Mayuka will react well to a good half time talking. Yes, I'm clutching at straws here, but he hasn't been as bad as suggested here. We haven't really tried to use his strengths 1st half, look at how spurs play when Defoe is alone up front, they try to get the ball in behind so he can run onto it. We have done that once all half. He's never going to hold the ball up or win an aerial battle against Cuellar & O'Shea.
Stepgar Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 I'm suggesting that this forum is full of defeatist gutless moaning fannys who know very little about football yes. I actually think he has been crap also. I also think others have been. Shaw should have done much better and got close to fletcher for the goal....ball watching. Does that make me a defeatist or just someone with an opinion.
St Chalet Posted 22 December, 2012 Author Posted 22 December, 2012 Lets be honest, there were no Nuns or lucky smoke breaks deployed first half. All in reserve. That said there should really be a Christmas theme for today's thread.
DG Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Time for a lucky cup of tea, COYS lets see a Villa-esque second half please.
