We have strolled into Birmingham overconfidently, players and Koeman. Ron will sort it out at the break though, I am sure.

 

Hope they aren't starting to believe the hype about themselves - just turn up at lowly Villa and we'll win.

 

Need to sharpen up, we look jaded so far.

We are really missing Super Stevie.... tonight... an unsung hero

 

This 100%

 

Hugely underrated player for us, makes us tick and links the midfield 2 with the front 3

Posted
Front 4 very poor so far. Shape change has not helped. Either Mane or Long off, Cork on. Bertrand having his worst game fir us & Wanyama passing us poor. Hopefully we can only get better.

 

I agree left side not themselves. Bertrand poor by his standards, Mane needs a rocket.

Why would you do that ? They are sticking 10 men behind the ball which makes a midfield effectively redundant. They are getting tight and compact around their box, a pretty little midfielder wont help us break that down.

 

You need pace and width, and so we just need to carry on. If anything Pellè is coming far too deep, just like what Lambert did last year. His flicks arent finding anyone, if anything id push Long up on Clark who is sweeping behind Okore

 

 

Think that's what he should be doing. I'd take him off for Cork, now watch him go and score.

Classic saints forum panic. Look how many points we have. Let's hope for a good performance in the second half and see what we can do

Villa were utter dross in the first 20 mins, should really have taken the opportunity. Down a goal to a silly mistake, still a very long way to go and they are still the same team.

 

Perfectly winnable.

It's history repeating itself. Keeper howler ends a good run that effectively kills our European chances

 

Second in the League with no hope of European football?

 

You really are a melon sometimes.

Theres some mongo's on here tonight, take off a wide man and stick on another cm !! Righto

 

Put long out there or keep mane out there

 

Either way, we are not very good tonight and look soft on the break

Posted

Forster's on a par with Boruc, he's not awful but he's certainly no better. Just a mid table keeper. I think I'd put Cork on for Mane and push Wanyama forwards a bit, don't know why, would just like to see him smashing through people a bit higher up the pitch.

Good response. Our movement and passing are still crisp. Just not getting on the end of things.

 

What game are watching? We have been as crisp as a soggy lettuce. Wanyama has been shocking. Missing Davis badly.

Posted

Why are we playing to Villa's strengths and why are we playing Long and Mane together ?

Too slow getting the ball forward with the result of getting caught on the break against a side who's only weapon is pace.

We were 3rd in the league last season and a keeper howler away to an average team started the poor run

A dull, cold Monday night at Villa park, 1-0 down at half time.

 

Time to see what we are made of

 

Villa (a) is 3 points for a team with top 4 aspirations.

Final ball has been poor but we've totally dominated this match. Villa are playing like the away team. They got really lucky with the goal - it was just a smashed panic clearance that fell perfectly for Agbonlahor - the defender didn't even mean it. But for that huge slice of luck and Fraser's rush of blood we'd be level and very comfortable. Sort out the final ball and we can still win this.

Posted
Maya Yoshida could be an option versus the speed Agbonlahor.

 

Yuki.

 

Our defence is bloody fast. We must have the fastest centre back pairing in the prem?

Posted

Get Mane off and move up Bertrand and bring on Taggart behind Bertrand. Bertrand played well in the past on the left wing. Get Cork on instead of Long. Tadic seems to be off the boil for over a month.
