shirleysfc Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 punch and J-Rod look sharp. VW is a beaaast. strong as an ox. Lovren looks a bit unsure to me. Lovren's looked ok to me, but then again I haven't seen the whole match.
S-Clarke Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Shackle lead. Utterly horrific performance. Get rid of everyone.
tomf05 Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Really shocking defending and communication there from the ball over the top 1-0 Schalke
dubai_phil Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 That was absoloute rubbish by Fonte to be fair. Yeah good first save by KD but yuk and far too easy
Saints foreva Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Fonte should have got rid but Davis could have claimed that if he moved faster...
knellster Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Same old story. If Fonte had just cleared the bloody ball instead of trying to hold off Huntelasr there'd have been no problem.
BARCELONASAINT Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Fonte terribly caught out by the bounce, great reactions from KD but defence caught ball watching
Giordano Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 1-0 shalke, huntelaar after what looks like indecision between goalie and fonte....
shirleysfc Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 I can't see Jose or Jos playing many games this season. wouldn't be surprised if we buy another CB.
Olallana Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Rickie dont like to score in preseason, does he...?
alpine_saint Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 stadium announcer ballses up the substitutions
Ohio Saint Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 I hate our socks. Looks like the Cat in the Hat gone wrong.
S-Clarke Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Played some good stuff in the last 5mins Little too predictable at times though. How a little bit of pace in the final third would change the dynamics of this team...
S-Clarke Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Rubbish 2nd. Looked like it went straight through Gazzaniga. Should not be beaten from there.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Well i missed the first half but we have looked poor second! 2-0 to the Germans
Saint_clark Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Meaningless friendly, just like the 8-0 win - remember?
niceandfriendly Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 oh that's it 2-0 right GET POCHETTINO OUT!!!!
Saint Without a Halo Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 we look so easy to penetrate compared to them! defending still looks suspect!
S-Clarke Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 This 2nd half is like watching us at the start of last season. Some good moments, exciting going forward at times, but ultimately poor at the back making unforced errors on a regular basis. Bit worrying, although it's only pre-season.
Saint86 Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Alpine, why aren't you at the game? Also, lovren made the block that lead to the corner and therefore saved a certain goal... don't be too quick to assign blame.
dubai_phil Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Oi Alps Have a freaking word with Fox & Gazza FFS
Olallana Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 First rule of defending in the box. NEVER let a ball bounce.
S-Clarke Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Alpine, why aren't you at the game? Also, lovren made the block that lead to the corner and therefore saved a certain goal... don't be too quick to assign blame. To be fair, Lovren did hesitate. Even though he made the initial block, he was pretty rubbish in defending the next cross in. You can't excuse someone for making a mistake just because they made a decent block a moment ago! Ultimately, that block now means nothing! I still think Gazzaniga should have done a little better though. But it's hard to see as the replay isn't great. ....AND it's only a pre-season, not to get too carried away about! Just nice to see us playing again.
alpine_saint Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 the most worrying thing about this second half is how ineffective Adam is. we all know we have no defensive depth.
dubai_phil Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Ah the old lofted ball in to Mayuka tactic....... Is it a co-incidence we've looked pants since Fox came on?
S-Clarke Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Unlucky, that was a really good move by us. Initiated by a nice burst of pace from Lovren to take the ball out of defence.
S-Clarke Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Jeez, if that wasn't a penalty I don't know what is?
dubai_phil Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Was that a 5 XL Sash shirt we just saw typing on a mobile device?
Colinjb Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Should have been a penalty there. The overhead kick was blocked by a hand.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Mayuka running around up front like a headless chicken so far!
Grey Crab Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 You do all realise that this game is just about getting up to match fitness, right?
Ohio Saint Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Running around like an entire chicken would be a bit better, I suppose.
Saints foreva Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 Mayuka running around up front like a headless chicken so far! He offers us nothing.
Ohio Saint Posted 24 July, 2013 Posted 24 July, 2013 You do all realise that this game is just about getting up to match fitness, right? Yep!
