Leicestersaint Posted 2 February, 2013 Share Posted 2 February, 2013 Why did he leave Puncheon on for so long?

david in sweden Posted 2 February, 2013 Share Posted 2 February, 2013 I really thought lallana and davis should have started after the way they affected the game v United.[/quote Perhaps Lallana isn't ready for 90 mins. at this 100 mph pace,(?) but Steve Davis is thankfully beginning to look good, because Puncheon seems strangely quiet in the last few games - compared with his early season showing. Shaw back to his usual game....looks like he's been playing 2 seasons... but player with the MOST IMPROVED tag ..has to be Rodriguez ...thought he was outstanding and his run for second goal was superb.

Webby Posted 2 February, 2013 Share Posted 2 February, 2013 There was a thread somewhere that asked the question of which players may improve under MP. I can't find it now, so this will have to do. I think most thought Ramirez would improve cos of the south American connection, but he has gone backwards IMO. Alas, he does not seem to be a player for away games. Puncheon has also gone backwards. I felt he was one of our better players before but he's been awful in the last two games. Davis has come on and done an excellent job and JRod has been excellent in the last two games too. I think he should stick with Davis and Lallana vs City next week. Hopefully, Adam will be ready for 90 mins by then, or at least 75 mins. Davis will just add that little bit more control in the midfield than Ramirez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom28 Posted 2 February, 2013 Share Posted 2 February, 2013 Tactically spot on in open play. Set piece tactics are woeful I'm afraid. No defender on the post cost us twice today. And zonal marking just doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpturner Posted 2 February, 2013 Share Posted 2 February, 2013 P3 W0 D2 L1 Agreed tactical genius We need start winningEither that is tongue in cheek, a deliberate wind-up, or you are a bit shallow minded where football is concerned. It has looked pretty good (mostly) over the last 3 matches I'd say, regardless of the points tally. Far too early to declare MP a tactical genius mind - but also far too early to complain about results. Shame we are not 5 points clear on the relegation zone, but 3 points ain't to be sniffed at either....and we prevented one of the bottom three closing the gap.

red&white56 Posted 2 February, 2013 Share Posted 2 February, 2013 (edited) Just back from the game. I thought Wigan were worth their first half lead. We played extremely well in the second half, but didn't kill the game off. I was disappointed at our first half display but very excitied by our play in the second half. Shaw, Rickie, Morgan, J-Rod and Jack all looked good today. Davis added something to our mid-field when he came on, as did Adam. Clyne and Punch were overloaded on several occassions on our left wing - it took us most of the first half to figure this out. Impressed with Saints numbers but it turned us into St.Mary's with inly some singing................... Wigan fans were very friendly............... but there was some agitation on the way home, looked like Saints fans were to blame but I could be wrong.

Brussels Saint Posted 2 February, 2013 Share Posted 2 February, 2013 Ah the old zonal marking question again. I've never met a single fan who thinks its a good idea, but a fair few managers like it. Why do some coaches love it and fans hate it? Surely coaches who spend their life in football and understand the game beyond our capacity to do so know better. Genuine question.
