Barry Sanchez Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 In football, life general? He does not look arsed to me.
Thedelldays Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 utter garbage in the 1st half at OT.....as in all away games really
Smirking_Saint Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Everton looked scared sh*tless of him, not playing great tonight, but then none of our work in final third has been quality TBH Bit of an over reaction though Dune
Saintandy666 Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 In fairness, pretty much the whole team has been silenced by Man U. I can't really thing of anything particularly wrong Ramirez has done bar that free kick... but that happens sometimes.
Thedelldays Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Everton looked scared sh*tless of him, not playing great tonight, but then none of our work in final third has been quality TBH Bit of an over reaction though Dune he does look the complete opposite at home doesnt he...
Barry Sanchez Posted 30 January, 2013 Author Posted 30 January, 2013 Everton looked scared sh*tless of him, not playing great tonight, but then none of our work in final third has been quality TBH Bit of an over reaction though Dune Just an observation Doris, he seems slack and floppy.
LGTL Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 He does appear to be a bit of a home player so far.
Smirking_Saint Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 he does look the complete opposite at home doesnt he... As much as I want to defend him, yes he does, strange as he looks like he is playing widish left again tonight, but movement in front and around him has been poor Also slightly not on topic, but no players have got close to Lambert for his knockdowns either Punch isnt setting the world alight tonight either So its not just Gaston
Smirking_Saint Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Just an observation Doris, he seems slack and floppy. In need of serious arousal ? This what you mean ?
Dalek2003 Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Sell him cheap, we need more Chaplow type players.
Barry Sanchez Posted 30 January, 2013 Author Posted 30 January, 2013 In need of serious arousal ? This what you mean ? Arh yes well now...............................
Smirking_Saint Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Arh yes well now............................... I like this new Dune, I feel we have bonded under Barry I haven't had to mention nurses, meds or alcohol
Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 If you cant get up for a game at OT you may as well retire
Saints foreva Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Bologna president certainly seems to have got the better of Nic. I think £6m would have been a fair price for Gaston, he managed to get double that.
Rasiak-9- Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Sell him cheap, we need more Chaplow type players. 8/10
Saint Garrett Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Taken off at HT. didnt think he was that bad at all.
Barry Sanchez Posted 30 January, 2013 Author Posted 30 January, 2013 Well we have now gone for Northern Irish flair as opposed to Uruguayan, such is the depth in the locker....................................
Barry Sanchez Posted 30 January, 2013 Author Posted 30 January, 2013 Apparently MP agrees Is Michael Portillo a Saints fan?
Saint Garrett Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 BS....your initials are pretty much spot on..!
Huffton Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Sell him cheap, we need more Chaplow type players. The same type of Chaplow that scored against, wait for it, Man U?
shirleysfc Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Is Michael Portillo a Saints fan? Tory Dune!! Yay!
Viking Warrior Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Stupid thread I bet united had done there work on puncheon and gaston. Realising they would be a threat. Mp took them off and forgot about plan b. why the few on here take pleasure try to shaft our players
JoeShmoe Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Taken off at HT. didnt think he was that bad at all. aye, but we were a lot better when he went off and Davis played there
Saint Garrett Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Yep I agree, Davis does a lot Of work that goes unnoticed though. Keeps things simple, whereas Gaston tries to do something special a lot and therefore gives the ball away quite a lot. Not sure where it leaves us for the Wigan game though. J-Rod done well tonight think he does the job MP wants him to do, and I want to see Lallana back in...
corky morris Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 Have to say I thought he was poor tonight. Far too light weight in my opinion. I texted VFTT at half time & said we should take him & Puncheon off as they were both very poor. He is without doubt a quality footballer, but needs to muscle up a bit for the PL.
supersonic Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 his fitness is more of a worry for me. since he's signed, we've played 19 league games, he's only played the 90 minutes in 6 (been subbed off in 7 and missed 5 completely with 1 appearance from the bench)
Junior Mullet Posted 30 January, 2013 Posted 30 January, 2013 I hate the way he gives away silly petulant free kicks. It gives possession away too easily and gives the other team a break from our pressing. He never looks up for it playing on the left of the AM3.
pimpin4rizeal Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 i think its basically cos hes playing out of position, when he plays behind the striker he looks our main attackin threat. he certainly looked assed against everton, he was probably our hardest workin player against them. basically when rodriguez starts up front with lambert behind gastons gonna suffer
Saint Martini Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Yep I agree, Davis does a lot Of work that goes unnoticed though.

J-Rod done well tonight think he does the job MP wants him to do, and I want to see Lallana back in... For me Puncheon is the one that needs to be dropped, he had his last good match a while back. He's losing possession to much and needs to keep it simple. Either cut inside and shoot or knock the ball past the fullback and cross (*simplification warning*). The effort is there at the moment but apart from the occasional flash there's no end product. If we start with Lallana on the left, Ramirez central and Rodriguez on the right I think we're playing our best team right now.
sussexsaint Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 A while back ? Chelsea wasn't that long ago surely ?
tajjuk Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 A while back ? Chelsea wasn't that long ago surely ? He's got a slight point, yes JP was good at Chelsea and he's scored some important goals, but just like Gaston he has a tendancy to go missing in games. To be honest we have 3 fairly young Attacking midfielders behind Rickie in Gaston, Lallan, and Puncheon (yeh he's not that young but development wise he is as he's only started getting his act together in the last few years) and they can ALL be inconsistent. They all have bundles of talent, technically very good but I don;t think the mental side of their games are quite their yet but remember for all of them it's really their first time in this league (Puncheon has a few prem appearances before) they are learning and improving, but I think we have to expect the rough with the smooth. Gaston was excellent against Everton, work rate, running at people, getting shots off, creating chances and we looked ordinairy once he tired. Last night not so good, same with Puncheon, times this season he's been one dimensional and lost possession, then he has games like Chelsea where he shows his quality. It just shows that we need at least one quality option here if not two to provide competition and alternatives to these three when they aren't 'on it'. Still think Gaston will be a world class player, he's got all the talent but he's only 22 give him some time.
Mowgli Posted 31 January, 2013 Posted 31 January, 2013 Credit where credit is due. Moan U picked them out as the main threats in a starting 11 and stifled them.
