Ohio Saint Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Anyone mind giving a quick overview of first half? Stuck up a freezing cold mountain with snow coming sideways, so missing it. Thanks. We only have happy clappers and wrist slitters here. Nobody will know what to say when it's 0-0
Glasgow_Saint Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Anyone mind giving a quick overview of first half? Stuck up a freezing cold mountain with snow coming sideways, so missing it. Thanks. 50/50 sums it up so far inho Norwich should have been given a penalty and we were on top for most parts. Lack of good options in last 3rd. Norwich almost score twice. Yoshi at right back may cost us
UpweySaint Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Poor first half, all possession with no threat just like last week. If Norwich had a player with a bit of pace up front like QPR we'd probably be losing this right now. Disagree. Have had a few decent chances and forced a couple of top saves. On this pitch in these conditions we wont look like Barca, it will be scrappy. I'd say we've had the better of the half and just need to keep doing what we're doing. But of course fair point we do seem to have a habit of being v impressive in games but not actually picking up the wins.
SaintRobbie Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Anyone mind giving a quick overview of first half? Stuck up a freezing cold mountain with snow coming sideways, so missing it. Thanks. Saints are dominant in midfield but the conditions seem to be making it difficult to fire in a winner. Probably going to be a win by one goal ... but could go either way despite Saints dominance. Defence OK, but Yoshida clearly finding it difficult to adapt to the conditions and is Saints weak link at the moment.

The have forced a couple of decent saves you are right, but its just frustrating that so often the final ball is so poor, just feel we aren't creating the number of chances we ought to be given the possession we have had in recent games.

I thought Cortese bought Ramirez so he could deliver the quality final ball?
pangy Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 With the conditions I would be tempted to take off Gaston bring on Punch,drop Rickie back and leave J-rod up top for that bit of pace
Saint Garrett Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 I thought Cortese bought Ramirez so he could deliver the quality final ball? He put in a superb whipped corner in. On the whole his set pieces have been poor today. Is our main threat at the moment though looking very lively.
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 March, 2013 Author Posted 9 March, 2013 Gaston off! Never thats like the human race facing Ming without Flash Gordon....................

Ohio Saint Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 tater recognises Cork and Morgan for the underrated players they are
Glasgow_Saint Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Cant believe Yoshi has stayed on...... This will cost us imho
sfc1976 Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Dreadful that, had so much time he could have taken a touch.
RobM Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Cant believe Yoshi has stayed on...... This will cost us imho Ahem, ...get behind the team ffs
Glasgow_Saint Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Yoshi is being ripped a new one down the right....... We need to act NOW
RobM Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Yoshi is being ripped a new one down the right....... We need to act NOW As a wise man once said... get behind the team ffs
Legod Third Coming Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Lallana should score way more than he does. He doesn't look back to his best still. Would play Puncheon myself...
James Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Puncheon would have scored He would have done, I just don't get what AL has done to deserve walking in against an in form Punch
Saint Garrett Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 He would have done, I just don't get what AL has done to deserve walking in against an in form Punch Nothing at all.
Legod Third Coming Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 We need to win this we are the much better side! Just that final ball not quite falling for us!!
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 March, 2013 Author Posted 9 March, 2013 He put in a superb whipped corner in. On the whole his set pieces have been poor today. Is our main threat at the moment though looking very lively. So Gaston whipped in a corner hey?
Jonnyboy Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Last season I thought lallana had put his crap shooting behind him.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Pinocchio needs to earn his crust today, playing a poor Norwich team WE MUST WIN THIS
RobM Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Set pieces have been awful...... Hey, get behind the team ffs This is amusing me immensely.
Red Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 He doesn't look back to his best still. Would play Puncheon myself... Think this settles the Al vs JRod debate for now at least - and yes I know both are playing today, but for LM role it has to be JRod without a doubt.
Ohio Saint Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Pinocchio needs to earn his crust today, playing a poor Norwich team WE MUST WIN THIS I'm coming over to the dark side I agree with you.
Ken Tone Posted 9 March, 2013 Posted 9 March, 2013 Cant believe Yoshi has stayed on...... This will cost us imho Except he's just saved a goal
