JoeShmoe Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 We really do need a lucky bounce to go our way.. just looks like its not our day at all
Dr. Kucho Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Impressed with De Ridder so far, lots of danger coming from him.
BotleySaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Any subs left? Time to take Ramirez off I think. He doesn't work in the rain,
OttawaSaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Mayuka could be 55th best in the world if he's bloody shoot when he gets into the box..
brightspark Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Ramirez gives the ball away at an alarming rate. Lacklustre
Legod Third Coming Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Any subs left? Time to take Ramirez off I think. He doesn't work in the rain, I just don't think we've seen the best of him since his first couple of games. Doesn't look up for it today.
alpine_saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 De Ridder coming on is waving the white flag. We're simply being done by the gap in ability between the managers.
CanadaSaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 I'm really beginning to wonder if Ramirez fits the way we play, talented as he is. He never seems to play the kind of role that allows him to do the stuff we saw on his highlights reel - cutting-in and shooting, taking guys on inside the box etc. Them losing Johnson will help us, though, because he's created a reluctance in us to go for the overlap down the flank.

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 De Ridder coming on is waving the white flag. We're simply being done by the gap in ability between the managers. Bit harsh, O'Neill has done an awful job at Sunderland.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Looks like Wigan all over again opps Davis goes wheres the ball fortunately it stuck!
BotleySaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Whew.. thought we'd seen the end of Davis then!
alpine_saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Bit harsh, O'Neill has done an awful job at Sunderland. Hes still a better manager than NA.
Stepgar Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 De Ridder coming on is waving the white flag. We're simply being done by the gap in ability between the managers. How about the whole team has under performed today? I have lot count of how many times WE have given the ball away today.
Legod Third Coming Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 They're doubling up on Puncheon so we should be wise to that and moving the ball inside quicker with Clyne overlapping more...
Legod Third Coming Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 De Ridder coming on is waving the white flag. We're simply being done by the gap in ability between the managers. Agree with you today. We haven't worked out that they're doubling up on Lambert and Puncheon and used it to our advantage with the space it's allowing elsewhere...
Saint Without a Halo Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Deliverys from set pieces are getting worse
Legod Third Coming Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 This is just a really really poor performance.
BotleySaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Not sure about our tactics today really. Bit strange. We've not really got into the second half and we've been throwing on reserve players to try and change the game.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 This is just a really really poor performance. We look poor all over the field!
Stepgar Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 This is just a really really poor performance. Agreed. I believe that s all it is. Just a bad day.
obelisk Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 0-1 down and we've hardly had a shot. Dreadful stuff!
Saint Without a Halo Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 83 minutes gone and we havnt had a shot on target yet!
Mr X Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Whole team is terrible today!! No excuses with the two week break and a crunch game
DG Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Bit of a disaster with 2 away games and home v Arsenal coming up. Damn you Saints.
saint lard Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Do Prado now on......Ramirez starts on the left....moves to the middle......now on the right.FFS Hit and miss tactics Mr Adkins thus far. Lets see if this formation works eh.....more luck than judgement.
Ex Lion Tamer Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 To what extent are the conditions to blame? We seem unable to string a pass together, and we know we're better than that
doggface Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Woefull deliveries from de ridder. Honestly worried by this 2nd half. Appalling and sobering.
Dazza82 Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 this is bloody awful, we wont get anything from this now
Legod Third Coming Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Agreed. I believe that s all it is. Just a bad day. The problem is what this does for confidence against a very bad Sunderland side. It's not really good enough.
Legod Third Coming Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 To what extent are the conditions to blame? We seem unable to string a pass together, and we know we're better than that We strung loads together first half but didnt SHOOOT. And look at the conditions?! This is poor tactically I'm afraid. No idea what they were told to do, but this is cobblers football...
OttawaSaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Shouldn't be losing to **** like this, no idea why we blow hot and cold all the time...
Dalek2003 Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 We are doomed......time to bring back the 'yoyo' strategy theory !
CanadaSaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 We strung loads together first half but didnt SHOOOT. And look at the conditions?! This is poor tactically I'm afraid. No idea what they were told to do, but this is cobblers football... Exactly. In this league you've got to score when you're on top, and in order to score you've got to shoot. As I said earlier, over-elaboration around the box is a killer for us.
JoeShmoe Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 We will go down playing like this, simple as that
BotleySaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Well, perhaps the next game... we need another unexpected result now.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Tell you what De Prado looks the best of the bunch out there at least he is trying!
Thedelldays Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 haha..that shot from clyne as if he is ever going to score
Legod Third Coming Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 It's so amateurish today. Poor football all round. Time for more clear ther air talks!
BotleySaint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 More shots on target in injury time than before.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 It's so amateurish today. Poor football all round. Time for more clear ther air talks! Adkins needing more tips on how to manage by the players?
Sheaf Saint Posted 22 December, 2012 Posted 22 December, 2012 Absolute crap from Guly there. That ball should have been ripping a hole in the back of the net. Pathetic. Sums up our afternoon.
