Batman Posted 23 August, 2014 Author Posted 23 August, 2014 Big vic gets forward, wins free kick by corner flag.......... Tadic with it Goal kick
Plastic Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Pelle just not getting into scoring positions at the moment unfortunately, hope he wakes up.
BotleySaint Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Pelle just not getting into scoring positions at the moment unfortunately, hope he wakes up. Doesn't seem to have much in the way of movement. Just a big lump with no pace so far. Still plenty of time to adapt to the Premiership though!
saint lard Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Do we require a plan B ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Plastic Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 We were dull at Liverpool first half. Second half will be better...
Saint Without a Halo Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 with exception of Tadic pretty poor fare so far only one chance
so22saint Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Pelle just not getting into scoring positions at the moment unfortunately, hope he wakes up. He's winning nothing with his head either - lambert a big miss there (At the game)
Batman Posted 23 August, 2014 Author Posted 23 August, 2014 (edited) Well. Tadic very good. Bertrand pretty good. Vic good. Forster looks commanding JWP very average. Pelle very poor, he needs to actually move when in the box We seem to be very slow in possession not creating much ourselves Edited 23 August, 2014 by Batman
ThreeSixty Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Don't know why we persist with Davis in wide areas.
DG Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Decent bit of pressure there but it just ends in overhit crosses.
BotleySaint Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 We grew as the game went on but seriously lacking movement up front!
Olallana Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Well, that was dull. Taider on for Davis for me.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Well. Tadic very good. Bertrand pretty good. Vic good. Forster looks commanding JWP very average. Pelle very poor We seem to be very slow in possession not creating much ourselves Good summary
melmacian_saint Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Don't know why we persist with Davis in wide areas. Because we've been a short of a winger since we came back to the PL. Rodriguez was playing wide at times last year, because neither of Lallana and Ramirez could do a job there.
Saint_Donovan Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 No support for Pelle at all from JWP , it's fine people saying he's not winning headers but who would he be heading it on too? He's completely isolated up there
melmacian_saint Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Well, that was dull. Taider on for Davis for me. Taider on for Ward-Prowse. I really don't think he's as good as people in this forum make him out to be.
Saint_Abroad Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Well, that was dull. Taider on for Davis for me. Agreed. Davis is the weakest link, IMO.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Certainly playing more long balls. Actually needed as our ability to keep possession has been poor so far
verlaine1979 Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Neither Davis nor JWP playing with the courage in possession required by their positions.
saintsmike25 Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 We had to rely on some Gaston brilliance to beat WBA last year, problem is we're not being zippy enough we can't just rely on Tadic, the likes of Davis, JWP need to be more positive on the ball. I'd take off JWP and stick on Taider/Isgrove.
KingdomCome Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Smothered by west brom at the moment. Nothing too threatening coming the other way yet though. Get Long on
Saint_Abroad Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Certainly playing more long balls. Actually needed as our ability to keep possession has been poor so far I thought similar but I was surprised to see we've had 62% possession.
melmacian_saint Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 I see the "JWP is SURELY the next big thing" gang are already finding excuses to bring Davis off.
KingdomCome Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Pelle disappointing so far, but he's not had much to work with to be fair.
norwaysaint Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 When the chances weren't coming, Lambert used to drop deeper and try to create some openings, Pelle seems a bit more one dimensional so far, waiting for chances to be served up. I'd take off JWP for Long or Taider.
Saint George Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Watching this is making my eyes bleed...What a change from the swagger and slickness of last season......God help us if Tadic gets injured for any length of time
Grey Crab Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 I see the "JWP is SURELY the next big thing" gang are already finding excuses to bring Davis off. Are you having a breakdown?
Killers Knee Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Need to start fining players who hoof it to Pelle in the air. No player would bother with that haircut if they intended heading the ball. Reminds me of a static yet stronger Crouch. JWP is too lightweight, needs to load protein and get in the gym for a year. Davis having another off day, all the others are doing well we are just playing at a mentally retarded level of slow.
Saintandy666 Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 We had to rely on some Gaston brilliance to beat WBA last year, problem is we're not being zippy enough we can't just rely on Tadic, the likes of Davis, JWP need to be more positive on the ball. I'd take off JWP and stick on Taider/Isgrove. Ramirez would be good in this match, when is he back?
Batman Posted 23 August, 2014 Author Posted 23 August, 2014 so much on pelle being an upgrade on lambert (even on paper)
saint_kev Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Lots of long balls trying to reach Pelle, who's being very closely marked.. Morgan, Bertrand, Clyne, tadic big vic and fonte doing ok. Just need some quicker thinking from JWP and Davis
View From The Top Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 so much on pelle being an upgrade on lambert (even on paper) SRL, love him as I do, struggled against WBA for the last two seasons. Their CBs had him in their pockets.
Ex Lion Tamer Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 It was noticeable when Foster was out of his goal and Bertrand did that cross that Pelle had failed to lose his marker
melmacian_saint Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 We will see how James Ward-Beckham fares now without that useless Norn Irishmen on the pitch...
BotleySaint Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Pelle playing like he has an anvil in his shorts. Move man!
DG Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Not going to be a high scoring side this season are we.
