adrian lord Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 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. Scots detective?
Batman Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Well, this is a good performance for villa and a shyte one for us. Just be that bit sharper and surely we can get at least a point
MAY-Z Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 All keepers make mistakes. For all his brilliance Boruc was prone to the odd howler. I think the centre backs are also at fault here, neither were close enough to GA so Forster saw the ball coming with a lot of space for the speedy GA and thought he should try and do something about it, especially as he has already seen GA running at us in space a couple of times already
Edmonton Saint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Worst thing is that rewatching the goal Alderwiereld was favourite to get it and could have cleared it. But he choose to leave it for the onrushing Forster who completely missed it. Very bad goal to give away.
Dr Who? Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Keep it as it is, but in hindsight, I am not sure why he has not kept the same shape/team as most of the season.... Why long in midfield. Not sure what the idea is there, it is open for the midfield getting overrun away from home.
saintbob40 Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Koeman got this wrong will he change it now?
Under Weststand Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Well I trust Koeman to make the right adjustments and we can turn the game around. Come on Saints.
SaintRobbie Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Every cloud... If Villa win they'll be on the same points as Liverpool
Dalek2003 Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Villa, lively start. We need to get a grip.
Saint Billy Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 I dont understand the call to take Mane off, ok his touch has been a bit poor as per the whole side, but he is the only one to have a shot on target and the only one who resembles any sort of threat.
Plastic Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 We always seem to play poorly when I drink beer. For the good of the team I shall abstain for the second half. COYR.
Sheaf Saint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 We were 3rd in the league last season and a keeper howler away to an average team started the poor run So you don't think that was more to do with said keeper getting injured in the same game, resulting us having to depend on Gazzaniga during a run of difficult fixtures then?
alpine_saint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 The only predictable thing so far has been the reaction on here to us going behind. Apart from your sneer, of course........
Smirking_Saint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Tadic moved to the middle it seems Should have been that way from the start, stretch them. You cant do a lot in defence of their tactic, they have nothing except soak up pressure and try to release Gabby. Cork won't do a lot to change that. Unfortunately there is basically nothing on the bench to chamge things positively, which was Poch's problem as well FWIW, lets see if Koeman drastically 'changes' things, my guess is not really, because he cant.
Mr X Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 knew would lose this type of game it was inevitable to be against a team in poor form!
Dr Who? Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Seems he wants to find a place for long, somewhere in the team.
yellow&blue Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Are there any Villa fans in the ground? The way they are being supported, they don't deserve anything from this game.....if we up the tempo, they are there for the taking.
Under Weststand Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Well worked moves let down by shocking crossing.
Mallagroth Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Bit like tottenham game, not at the races and our final pass just not going. Maybe its the size of the pitch...
Jonnyboy Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Saints look like we're playing a training match, where's the passion? Tired from internationals?
Bearsy Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 wonder when Tom Cleverly will get his first touch? Must be some kind of record!
Dr Who? Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 This has the potential to turn into the normal Monday night dross!
Sheaf Saint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Well worked moves let down by shocking crossing. That has been the case ever since we got back up to the PL. 3 different managers and it still hasn't been addressed.
Batman Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 With the players they have out and their form. A defeat would be a hideous result. We are good for a point, surely
Pastor Patrón Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 This is bloody awful tbh, Pelle and Tadic need to wake up
Mr X Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 we look like we arent too fussed were losing thats the scary part!
Dr Who? Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 With the players they have out and their form. A defeat would be a hideous result. We are good for a point, surely We are good enough for all 3 points.
Smirking_Saint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 This is bloody awful tbh, Pelle and Tadic need to wake up Sorry ? Would you prefer Rhodes ?
Dr Who? Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Going behind, has just given them a bit more fight and they are happy to sit in. It was the worse thing to happen.
5string Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 We needed to score during the first 20 mins of possession. Now we're paying the price. Mind you, maybe we need to have to battle for something, after the last few games of opposition basically giving up against us. Preparation for the tough games coming up. Still think we should win this.
Pancake Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Pelle's head has dropped, he looks totally disinterested.
Saint Billy Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 I keep waiting for us to suddenly click but I just dont think its going to happen tonight.
KingdomCome Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Is the sound on my laptop fugged or are there 25000 people doing a sponsored silence tonight?
sfc1976 Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 We look like we've just got off a flight from Sydney in economy. Bertrand usually gets in behind so much more.
Batman Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 We don't seem to be beating players 1 v 1. It's all trying to pass rather than mixing it up to get their defence facing their own goal
adrian lord Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 it's men against fair-weather dilettantes at the moment
